Please bring Private Benjamin the series to DVD

My mom and I really enjoyed this show; especially Eileen Brennan's character as Captain Lewis. I haven't seen this show since reruns in the 80s and would love to watch this hilarious show again and again. What I enjoyed the most of this show is the interaction between Private Benjamin and Captain Lewis as Benjamin attempts to evade the watchful eye of Captain Lewis. Please bring this delightful comedy to DVD. All seasons combined!!!!
