Some Barracudas and Friends wearing their Mannix on DVD t-shirts in front of Paramount Studios. THIS JUST IN FROM LUCIE ARNAZ: Thank you for your letter expressing interest in the show Mannix, and the possibility of the show being released
on DVD. Although I understand your desire to have a complete set of all the episodes, I have no control whatsoever over this show.
In reality, Mannix has little connection to either of my parents. My father resigned and sold his Desilu interests
to my mother in 1962, and my mother sold Desilu in 1967, the same year Mannix was first broadcast. While the legend
is that my mother called CBS and told them she supported the show and wanted it on the air, the fact is she had little, or
nothing, to do with its production. I do appreciate your interest in this show, and I will forward your letter to my contacts at Paramount, but I'm afraid
that's all I can do. It would be more convincing if all the members of your club, and all the fans you know, would continually
flood the Paramount offices with letters and requests. That is the best way I know to get something done. Good luck to you
all! Best Wishes, Lucie Arnaz
