A few more details about the upcoming DVD...

Two holiday-themed episodes of Glen Campbell's old variety TV show are headed to DVD this fall.  The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour: Christmas Specials will be released on October 13.

I just heard from the SHOUT Factory about this upcoming Christmas DVD of Glen Campbell---was curious as to why Amazon's running time of 46 minutes and NO LISTING OF WHAT'S ON THERE--- didn't match theirs which they have both shows and 90 minutes....Here is the answer--PROBLEM IS BEING RESOLVED!!!

The Amazon running time is in error. We’re working to correct it. The information on our website is correct.. Thank you for contacting us.

Because there is a discrepancy between the times of these DVD's of Glen at Amazon and Shout-I contacted Amazon directly and here is their reply so I will follow through with this. I think the DVD IS 90 minutes. This is what they wrote:

I understand your concern and checked both links for you.

I have checked and see that the DVD on our website is also from the Shout studio. As you can see that the studio has not mentioned the details of this item on our website, so in order to avoid any confusion of misunderstanding, In my experience, the quickest way to have this issue resolved is to contact the Studio directly about the product information.

Looks very interesting to me Dee. On http://www.shoutfactory.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it mentions a 90 minute DVD. However on amazon.com is says 46 minutes. In any case, I think it's very good news that episodes of the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour are being officialy released on DVD again. The last time that happened was in 2006 with the Good Times Again DVD.

Fingers crossed on the quality, Mike!

I have one holiday video of Goodtime Hour segments on VHS: "Christmas With Glen Campbell" featuring Anne Murray and with special guests Mel Tillis and Dom Deluise. It is only 31 minutes long.
(See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Camp ... n_Campbell" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
The VHS tape shows up on ebay once in a while, and this is where I bought my copy. (In fact there is one listed now under "Christmas with Glen Campbell (VHS, 1997) Anne Murray, Mel Tillis, Dom Deluise!")
Some other fans may have this tape because it was sold in Branson. But I never got to Branson to the Goodtime Theatre.

On my bucket list: to see every GC Goodtime Hour and GC Music Show before I "kick the bucket"! Meanwhile, I am thrilled for all of us that the holiday shows from '60 and '70 will be released by Shout! Factory.

That is great news Dee. I hope the video quality is good, if not remastered. Its a wonderful thing to be able to re visit these times with Glen on top form. If Shout factory are releasing these DVDs I wonder if they will also release the main shows as complete seasons. Now that would be fantastic to build that collection.
