DVD or no DVD?
One of the questions I am asked most often is: "When will there be an 'Odd Couple' DVD?" You can help by doing the following: Fill in the information in the DVD poll question that I have just put on the right side of this MLBlog. Here is an arrow to point you to the right. ---->
Then we hopefully will come to an answer on this issue, and maybe soon you will be able to use your DVD player to watch scenes like the one below in this picture from my private collection. (There goes Felix again.) There are also great outtakes in the special DVD that you will get if you order my new book Tony and Me right here at the MLB.com Shop.
I'm back on the East Coast now for more book signing appearances, and you can click the link on the right of this page (follow the arrow above) for the full tour. Wednesday is the Washington/Baltimore area, and Friday is Pittsburgh. Next week is St. Louis on Monday, K.C. on Wednesday, and Dallas on Friday. It's a lot of fun to meet fans who have watched our shows, and fun to have a blog here.
Thanks,
Jack
Dear Mr. Klugman: This posting of yours is sort of disappointing, because I had assumed that the failure to have an Odd Couple DVD had to be because of some contractual problem rather than somebody's doubts that it would be a successful DVD offering. That's the way that I read this "poll" that you're conducting. Each week, there are utterly forgettable shows released on DVD, things you can't believe that anybody would ever think of owning. And here you are looking for a public show of support to get an Odd Couple DVD into the market. Have you really run into that much resistance? I'm dying for the day that this hits the market. By the way, I saw the performance of The Odd Couple that you and Tony Randall did in London a few years ago -- 1996 I think it was -- and I cherish that moment. Who needs Lane and Modine?

I have to agree with the last poster. We should not have to vote to get such a great program out unedited on DVD. I of course did vote and will encourage all I know to vote as well. Hopefully Paramount will wise up fast and get us a show we really want.

I'm sure the dvd will come out and I do hope it becomes a hit.
