Who all would like to see the The Andy Griffith Show on Blu-ray?

[little flower]

I have the the complete series of 'The Andy Griffith Show' on Dvd and it's a very nice set. The picture looks really good and most of the of the episodes are uncut was is very nice (only 2 episodes are cut). This Dvd set also has original commercial advertisements that played after some of the episodes.

Anyways I would like to see this show come out on Blu-ray with all of the shows uncut and with original commercial advertisements and lots of bonus stuff for a Blu-ray edition of this show.

It's available streaming in HD on netflix. And so HD masters have been made...It looks good!

I've always been a big Andy fan so count me in.
being Paramount, it's not looking too promising imo.

Eh, I like the show but there are far better shows that deserve the HD treatment first. I Love Lucy comes to mind, and in my opinion, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Get Smart, etc. Hell, I'd even love to see The Honeymooners restored as best as possible in HD!

hahahaha! No such thing. TAGS ftw!

No thanks! Never was a fan of the show. I would never say "don't release it, it's boring!" cause afterall, many people are fans of this show but I would never buy it, just not for me.

Too bad some of my favorites would not offer much upgrade on Blu-ray since they were put on tape instead of film. Things like Three's Company, Soap, WKRP In Cincinnati.

The Andy Griffith Show is my favorite or one of my favorite tv shows of all times. Some people like the The Andy Griffith Show more than other tv shows and other people like other tv shows more than they like The Andy Griffith Show. This all comes down to opinions and the fact that some people's favorite tv shows are different from other people's favorite tv shows and so on

I'm up for it...but after the Three Stooges collection is released on blu-ray...
Now that is essential!!

I'd like to see it on Blu-ray too. Fix the two episodes, carry over all the extras (including the exclusive bonus disc from the complete set and the 50th disc that's out now) and throw in the CBS reunion from a few years ago.

I wonder if the passing of Andy Griffith today will fan any flames in terms of getting a blu-ray release of The Andy Griffith Show. It was/is one of my favorite shows of all time. I hope it gets the treatment it deserves on blu-ray (similar to Twilight Zone). I will buy the day it comes out.

One of my all-time favorites that I would love to see on Blu-ray. Hey, if The Mary Tyler Moore Show can get the treatment then why not TAGS?

I am not sure what you should do, but I will tell you what I did and what I would do. I purchased the Dvds back in 2008 before I had a Blu-ray. Right now I have 3 Blu-ray players and if I did not have the show on Dvd or Blu-ray I will still purchase the show right now. I really like this show and I like the fact tha I can watch any Episode of the The Andy Griffith Show any time I want. I am not sure when this will come out on Blu-ray. Even if it was out on Blu-ray and I purchased the Blu-ray I will still want to have this show on Dvd, because I like this show so much. Now this is me and what I would do. What someone else will want to do can be different from what I want to do.

The DVD sets look great and are almost fully intact (there are a couple episodes that did not make it "uncut" due to lost film, as I understood). I bought seasons 1 - 5 individually on DVD and enjoy them immensely (I have no interest in the final 3 "color" seasons after Knotts left). If you are a fan of the show as much as I am, you’d be very happy with the DVDs and would only consider any future blu-ray releases as a bonus.
