TV Shows that need to come out on DVD

sabotai · 01-26-2004, 07:57 PM

A lot of TV Shows and cartoons have finally found their way to DVD. But many of my old favorites still have not, and probably won't. I would love it if they did though...

Nightstand
Dinosaurs
Thundercats
The Tick (cartoon)

Any other shows that haven't made their way to DVD but should?

samifan24 · 01-26-2004, 07:59 PM

I'm probably in the minority here, but how about Early Edition?

Maple Leafs · 01-26-2004, 08:00 PM

Any list begins and ends with Married With Children.

Dammit Fox, you're sitting on a gold mine...

sabotai · 01-26-2004, 08:01 PM

I thought they did start releasing Married With Children DVDs...maybe they plan to. I really dont' think it'd be much longer for that show. You're right. That'd be a goldmine.

There are some DVDs out there, but not full seasons.

I read somewhere that MWC is the only reason anyone gets that FX cable station Fox owns, so they want to keep it exclusive to that. Bastards.

NoMyths · 01-26-2004, 08:07 PM

That's twice now people have claimed the list is done or the discussion is over.

Kodos · 01-26-2004, 08:09 PM

Greg The Bunny. Beginning of new, equally important discussion.

MJ4H · 01-26-2004, 08:12 PM

SEINFELD.

Oh and The Third Eye (old Nickelodeon series of mini-series(es?))

Draft Dodger · 01-26-2004, 08:24 PM

all I really want is Newsradio and The Dennis Miller show.

MikeVic · 01-26-2004, 08:25 PM

Fucking Ninja Turtles!!!
Duckman
As mentioned, Seinfeld and The Tick (cartoon).

I'm sure there's more, but those four are on my mind right now.

cthomer5000 · 01-26-2004, 08:31 PM

Undeclared.

The new discussion (started by Kodos) is now finished.

sabotai · 01-26-2004, 08:36 PM

Starting a new discussion on how I forgot about Newsradio and would love that on DVD. Also, I would like The State on DVD.

Glengoyne · 01-26-2004, 08:40 PM

The Tick would be wonderful.

My wife bought a bootleg set of the tapes a few years ago for my Christmas gift. I think she was disappointed with the quality, it was pretty much crap. I loved it though. It was so nice to see the old episodes again eventhough the video was scratchy and the sound garbled.

I think this is one of those things where the creator and whoever owns of the rights hate each other too much to do business though.

Coop · 01-26-2004, 08:51 PM

First season of Seinfeld is coming out next winter.

They show the episodes on Teletoon in Canada sometimes.

sterlingice · 01-26-2004, 08:55 PM

I would love to get The Tick. Last I saw, Comedy Central still had their rights. Then again, they haven't shown them in about 3 years. The good news is that Dilbert and The Critic are coming out this week so maybe Duckman and The Tick, two other staples of CC's animation block can't be far behind...? *crosses fingers*

SI

Groundhog · 01-26-2004, 09:00 PM

The Mysterious Cities of Gold. Though apparently it's happening at some point in the not terribly distant future.

BigJohn&TheLions · 01-26-2004, 09:05 PM

Bakersfield P.D.
WKRP in Cincinnati
Welcome Back, Kotter
Thundarr The Barbarian
The Six-Million Dollar Man
Miami Vice
The Critic (released 1/27)
The Dukes of Hazzard
Spencer for Hire
A Man Called Hawk
Maude
What's Happening (R.I.P. Rerun)
Shaft (CBS Tuesday night movies)

is that enough for now?

sabotai · 01-26-2004, 09:12 PM

Great site Big John. Everyone here should go vote to try to get some of these out.

sabotai · 01-26-2004, 09:24 PM

dola,

According to the site BigJohn linked to, Married With Children is out in season box sets. In fact.....

The first season has been out since before Christmas.

kcchief19 · 01-26-2004, 09:26 PM

Seinfeld is clearly No. 1. It would also be nice if they speeded up the release of The Simpsons. At the rate they are going, DVD will be an obsolete format before they get to season 8.

Now that Freaks and Geeks is coming, I'm covered on cult faves for a while. Newsradio is soming out this spring. WKRP would be great, but it's going to take a while. The studio that owns the rights has said that it's going to be a struggle to get the music clearances. Miami Vice will be even more of a nightmare. I don't think either show would be the same without the original music.

The first show I'd mention that I haven't seen mentioned yet is the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. There have been rumblings, but nothing yet.

Bearcat729 · 01-26-2004, 09:30 PM

The Greatest American Hero

But then I'd probably be the only one who buys it

k0ruptr · 01-26-2004, 09:30 PM

I'll second early edition, I would definetly pick that up on dvd sets.

judicial clerk · 01-26-2004, 09:32 PM

Another reason to get FX is The Shield. That is a cool show.

I have season 1 on DVD. In the preface, Matt Groening says (and I quote) :

(--snip--)

"So enjoy. We've got more Simpsons episodes to make, then broadcast, then re-run, then chop up for syndication, then sell to you on DVD. But you know something? We wouldn't have it any other way!"

your pal, Matt Groening

Gotta give him credit for being honest.

I remember those came out on video quite a while ago (in their entirety) so maybe DVDs are possible.

CamEdwards · 01-26-2004, 11:15 PM

I could swear I saw "The State" out on DVD this past weekend, but maybe it was "Upright Citizens Brigade".

Easy Mac · 01-26-2004, 11:17 PM

Nah, not yet, but you can download all the episodes if you know where to look.

Peregrine · 01-27-2004, 12:26 AM

It definitely aggravated me the other day to see that crappy live-action Tick out on DVD, but no sign of the cartoon Tick, which I think many more people would actually buy.
