Rhoda

Having mentioned Rhoda in the previous post, I realized that that’s a good example of how shows used to have opening titles that reflected the way they were re-tooled. Unlike its more successful cousins at MTM, Rhoda had a different main title every year, because it was adding and dropping new characters every year and trying to reach a different demographic.

I’m just going to collect some thoughts on some new and upcoming TV-on-DVD releases — most of them from Shout! Factory, not because I’m a secret mole for the company but just because they’re the ones doing most of the releases of non-current TV shows these days.
