OLTL and ATWT releases books that became best sellers in recent years.Īnd SOAPnet is the third faster growing cable network so clearly there is an audience for classic soaps. Not only do you have fan events to sell the DVDs at, but you can air promos for them during the show. I maintain that fans would definitely buy the DVDs if they're willing to pay over $2000 for sold out fan events. they sold a cheap "Luke and Laura wedding ring" at Sears. Instead of a big DVD with classic episodes, extras, etc. Last year was Luke and Laura's big 25th anniversary. They could do Best of: Decades, Best of: Couples, Best of: Storylines, etc. I don't expect complete seasons from daytime, but Best Of's is not difficult. The complete series was only like 30 collections. They did it with 10 episodes per disc for 40 episode collections. It was successfully released on VHS AND DVD actually, so there is a market. Thong, I agree complete sets would be ridiculous for long running soaps, but Dark Shadows was successfully released in complete episodes on DVD and it has over 2000 episodes. But Procter & Gamble has a soap channel at AOL.com so if anyone will do it, it's them!ĭr. Could it be the same thing for DVD?ĭo you guys ever think soap fans will see DVD releases? I'm thinking not unfortunately. They have to get permission from everyone in every episode to even show a classic one on SOAPnet. One thing I'm aware of is that for whatever reason current soaps can't be put syndication. Plus there is an easy way to promote them since they are still on air. Just because a show isn't in collectors hands doesn't mean it doesn't exist.įans pay between $500-$2000 for those sold out fan events, so obviously we have the money to pay for a $30-$50 DVD. Dark Shadows is from the 60s and is complete, Ryan's Hope premiered in 1975 and is complete and so is The Young and the Restless which premiered in 1973. I know many episodes from the 50s-70s are lost, but I'm sure there are enough to do DVD sets. Hell, I'd settle for 10 episodes of a US series. In the UK Coronation Street released 80 episode sets covering each decades. It seems insane and so unfair that the American soaps haven't been released on DVD yet (sans Dark Shadows of course).
