let's return to peyton place

I remember this show and loved it! It came on at 3:30 in the afternoon where I was and I can remember taping the show on my audio cassette so that I could have it always. A few years ago, Fox ran the original Peyton Place and I was lucky enough to have a video recorder and recorded all of the episodes. I converted them to DVD and am actually watching it again! (Third time I believe!). I would love to see this show again and have emailed many places asking for it to be released on DVD for my collection! I remember story lines vividly even though I was only in my teens when it aired. Allison being accused of murdering her husband Benny Tate; D.B. Bentley (played by the late Mary Frann of 'Newhart' fame and Monica Bell and her house boat. I remember Rita and Norman had another child on the last episode of 4 January 1974. Peyton Place is a classic town made up of classic characters and anything bearing it's name should be released for us fans! Cheers everyone!
