This forum is nearly identical to the previous forum. The difference? Discussions about comedy from the SOUND era.

Congrats, Richard -- it's all due to your diligence and The Sprocket Vault's commitment to bring these films back into view. VF's reviewer provides enough quote-worthy accolades to make the Amazon page even more inviting to a wider audience than just the faithful comedy fans. With this kind of exposure I wouldn't be surprised if next season's crop of sitcoms appropriate a few ideas from Thelma and Zasu -- we shall see.

(But seriously -- "Abbi and Ilana"? Never heard of 'em...)

Bumping this older topic as I wanted to say I enjoyed this set immensely.

Recently after purchasing a copy as a gift for buddy (since 1st grade) who's into pre-code stuff, I re-watched my copy of this set as well as the set w/Patsy Kelly some other folks released on DVD in 2018.

Thanking Paul and all involved with this Thelma and Zasu set for the world class excellent restorations and commentaries

I'd like to add if they are ever available on Blu-ray or some other Hi-Res mechanism I will gladly purchase them again.
