FURTHER NOTE: sorry, but we have ZERO info about DVD releases (MOD or otherwise) about Seasons 3 through 14 of Knot's Landing, still unreleased on DVD; there have been no announcements regarding them from either Warner Home Video or the Warner Archive Collection. In 2011, the Warner Archive stated on Facebook that, "We'd love to release the rest of this series. The problem is that there are heavy music clearance costs involved. Our company is dedicated to resolving these long-standing music stalemates, but the process is very time-consuming. We certainly know of strong fan interest in this great series." In the 7-8 years since that was posted, we have heard nothing that indicates anything has changed. We believe the music clearance costs are continuing to hold up further new season-set releases.

Scarlett - MiniSeries Masterpiece - DVD + Digital
EXTRAS: Digital copies of the episodes are included as a bonus, via MCE's proprietary digital streaming service, "Watch Mill Creek."
-----Scarlett, the six-hour mini-series based on Alexandra Ripley's best-selling sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, takes up precisely where that story left off, and sees Scarlett O'Hara off on a journey from Atlanta to Charleston and Savannah, to London, and to her ancestral home of Ballyhara in Ireland. The motivating force behind the story is once again the turbulent romance between Scarlett and Rhett Butler. Separated from Scarlett and seeking a divorce, Rhett is now pursued passionately by his wife, who seeks a reconciliation. Frustrated in her effort and unwilling to win Rhett by telling him she is pregnant with their child, Scarlett leaves for Ireland, where she is caught up in the political upheaval of the day, and to England, where she must stand trial for a murder she did not commit. Scarlett continues what is unarguably the most celebrated story of the American cinema, with all the richness of the original and with an epic sweep that today is seen only in long-form television. Starring: Timothy Dalton, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Sean Bean, Stephen Collins, Annabeth Gish, Colm Meaney, Esther Rolle, and Ann-Margret.
