Ok, I'm desperate. I REALLY want this show on DVD. I've made sure to add it to my list of shows I'd buy at tvshowsondvd.com.

I've been writing Warner Bros. each day asking them to please put the show on DVD.

And now, veoh.com took off the few episodes legitimately posted on the internet.

Does anyone have any idea/news on this show? I'm going insane... especially now that veoh's episodes are gone - and I hadn't had the chance to watch them all!

Yeah, I've seen those as well - they're bootlegs, however and illegal.

You can sign up for an update from Amazon.

What number does "X" have to be, though? If it's lofty, it may be awhile.

Oooh, that works, too. I also found the same episodes on AOL TV. Neither of these two sites had he series online before, so maybe there's some movement?

Some series are now on imdb.com as well as YouTube, but Eight Is Enough isn't there yet.

I found two people on Youtube who have put a couple of episodes up on Youtube - I've even asked them both to put up more...

Ahh, I can't wait till we get to the era where you just say what you want on DVD and the DVDs are printed and then sent to your house. You'd think we'd be up to that point already...

OK, so I found a TV station in Chicago that's airing episodes.

Problem? I'm nowhere near Chicago...

http://www.metvchicago.com/index.php

Is there anyone near Chicago that gets this station...?

This station has some other great series on it...Get Smart, Dragnet (one of my local affiliates has Dragnet (1967-70)) and many others. One of the other local digital channels plays the '50s Dragnet on it, but I don't get that channel.

I'm so jealous of everyone in Chicago at this moment...

Ah well, time to write another note to Warner Bros begging them to release the series on DVD!

Warner Bros. started doing something like this a few months ago actually - it's called "Warner Archive", and it's an on-demand service that covers the more obscure titles from their huge back catalogue. It's mostly movies for now, but they have added some TV shows.

If the demand for "Eight is Enough" isn't enough to justify a regular DVD release, you might be able to convince them to release it using this on-demand service.

Here's the link to the Warner Archive website, ladymacb:
