Bad news to report.

It seems the copyright owner, American Greetings (card company) and S'more Entertainment couldn't "Get-Along"!

Well, this isn't quite the same as a full series DVD set, but hey- it looks like Mill Creek Entertainment is releasing a 10 episode "Best Of" set for The Get-Along Gang!
It will be released on July 19, 2011 at a cost of $9.98
At least this is a start!
And if Mill Creek has the rights to this show, as I'm guessing they must since they're releasing this DVD- perhaps if it sells well enough, they may consider releasing the whole series!

I just saw on Amazon.com's page for this release that Mill Creek has posted on its Facebook page that they are working to get the whole "Get Along Gang" series on DVD soon (and we're only talking like 3 or 4 extra episodes here...) Hopefully it will work out. The post is dated from the end of July, 2011 though- so I guess Mill Creek's still working on this...

Mill Creek seems to be doing a couple of "Best of the '80s" cartoon-type DVD releases right now- they've got one set with a "Pole Position", "C.O.P.S." and "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" mix going (you can read more on that in the "Pole Position" post)- and I just saw that another such DVD set is coming on January 10, 2012 called the "Animal Cartoon Bundle". This will include 30 episodes of Heathcliff, The Littles and The Get-Along Gang!
Maybe finally those missing episodes of The Get-Along Gang will be released on this set. (Not to mention some more of the yet-to-be-released-to-DVD episodes of Heathcliff!)

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Wow I had forgotten about the Get Along Gang until now, I loved that show it used to be on in the mornings in the UK. I can almost remember the theme tune even, will have to get the DVD.

Per wikipedia:

On July 19, 2011 Mill Creek Entertainment released The Best of The Get Along Gang, a 1-disc set featuring 10 of the 13 half-hour episodes (20 of the 26 individual stories). The episodes not included on the set are Nose for News, Camp Get Along, School's Out, The Bullies, That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles and Snowbound Showdown. The remaining episodes were released on 2012 as bonus material of other Mill Creek's DVD releases, Camp Get Along and School's Out are included as a bonus feature on Mill Creek's DVD of Heathcliff: Season One, Volume One released in February 2012, and the other four stories were released in October 2012 as part of a 10-disc DVD compilation titled TV Toons to Go.

No word on a release of the Pilot episode which hasn't been released secondary to rights issues.

Thanks for the update, DuckTales. Nice to see that most all of "The Get-Along Gang" has finally come to DVD, even if its on various releases. Now if only the Pilot episode could get released too......

I just ran across this on Amazon.com - On October 16, 2012, Mill Creek released a DVD set entitled "TV Toons To Go - 100 Cartoon Collection".
From what I've read of the reviews for this item, the missing 3 episodes of "The Get-Along Gang" are included on this DVD release! Yay!

Unfortunately, the pilot is still not on DVD and it seems likely it will not get released to DVD, due to rights issue with music and such. (John Sebastian apparently did some music for the pilot.)

At least the pilot has been released to VHS though.
