Rifleman-MPI ?

I was wondering whatever happened to the last set (7) that would have completed the Rifleman series (out of order though). Go to dvdpricesearch and see not many places are selling any of the sets. Go to MPI site and when I do a search for Rifleman it comes up ZERO for the title Rifleman.

Is MPI still around?

Yes they are, but the Rifleman Collections are out of print.

I finished getting the rest of them off Encore Western. They're still showing them and in perfect order.

The Rifleman Collections are not out of print. The sixth set was released just last summer. I'm certain a final set will be released.

I'm still waiting for a "Complete Series" release with all the episodes in order. Until that happens, no Rifleman for me. I catch it on Encore Western channel when I can but this is one of the few TV shows that I would want to have the complete series of. It's a shame how they released them. My Dad has all of them so far and they are decent set even without the proper order.

I emailed the MPI website back when the DVDs were in print and asked about a possible 7th set to complete it although I think there were 3 more episodes left than what was usually on a set. The response I received indicated that they had no plans to make a 7th set. It's a shame because why make 6 but not one more? That's my favorite show much less western (hence my username)and I have all 6 sets but if they would release season sets with maybe some interviews or commentary with Johnny Crawford that would be awesome! Until then, I guess record the ones you don't have off of encore western channel.

I'm checking around for Rifleman information. So far I have this: MPI no longer holds the license to this series & the collections are being deleted.

More:

The company's rights to THE RIFLEMAN expired early this year. There won't be any additional MPI sets. I'm sorry I confused being available at retailers with still being manufactured. Hopefully the entity that now holds the rights to this wonderful show will release the remaining episodes or even season sets.
