TV Shows that need to come out on DVD

[sabotai]

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]

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

[Maple Leafs]

Any list begins and ends with Married With Children.

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

[sabotai]

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.

[Maple Leafs]

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.

Dr Katz.

End Of Discussion.

[NoMyths]

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

[Kodos]

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

[MJ4H]

SEINFELD.

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

[Draft Dodger]

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

[MikeVic]

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]

Undeclared.

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

[sabotai]

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]

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]

First season of Seinfeld is coming out next winter.

[MikeVic]

The Tick would be wonderful.

They show the episodes on Teletoon in Canada sometimes. :)

[sterlingice]

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*

[Groundhog]

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

[BigJohn&TheLions]

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]

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

[sabotai]

dola,

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

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C9JFQ/qid=1075170252//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl74/103-7485066-7109404?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846

[Nyarlahotep]

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.


The first season has been out since before Christmas.

[kcchief19]

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]

The Greatest American Hero


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

[k0ruptr]

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

[judicial clerk]

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

[cthomer5000]

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

"Welcome to the fist of many deluxe overpriced DVD sets of the Simpsons. With 280-odd shows in the can and no end in sight, you might be able to complete your Simpsons DVD collection just before the next format comes along. Thanks for buying!"

(--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.

[Maple Leafs]

dola,
According to the site BigJohn linked to, Married With Children is out in season box sets. I'll be damned...

[sterlingice]

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

[MJ4H]

Wonder if we can get the Hot Chick Survivor thread on DVD?

[Easy Mac]

sifl n olly
the state

[FBPro]

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

Yes, great show...sadly replaced by "another" stinking "lawyer" show.

[Craptacular]

Undeclared.


I forgot about that show ... it was pretty damn good. Night Court is one of my all-time favorites, and I'd love to see it out on DVD.

[CamEdwards]

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

[Easy Mac]

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

[Peregrine]

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.

[sterlingice]

This is true of most any show.

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids

we got them in french since 2001 : http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000520EJ/402-9472373-5507332, bad thing, no english subtitles, but you might get them someday.

That's great news! I'll have to investigate this closer... thanks!

[panerd]

Newsradio's middle seasons are some of the funniest sitcom episodes of all time. Phil Hartman, Steven Root, Dave Foley, and Joe Rogan just clicked. I even enjoyed Andy Dick during that run. I never have re-watched an epiosde after Jon Lovitz became full time.

I would also love to see the middle seasons of Wings and any C.H.I.P.S.

The Seinfeld thing kind of bums me out. Will it be like the Simpsons slow release? I could care less about the Stock Tip, and George's heart attack, or the Chinesse Restaurant. Start in season #3 where the show was actually hilarious.

[timmae]

I'd have to say the Mission Impossible series from the late 80's/early 90's (I think). Not the first one, but the second...

[sterlingice]

Airwolf, Knight Rider, and A-Team
Those were 3 shows I loved as a kid :)

And Cheers is out on DVD. The second season just came out, I think.

Newsradio will be awesome. Like someone said, it'll be out this spring -- but it was supposed to be out next week until the creator heard that it was going to be bare bones and offered to add some extras. So hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

Wings is another good one; actually it's on Nick at Nite right now at like 3 am, so I just started taping it since I'm sure it won't last even at that time slot since The Cosby Show and Full House have taken over that network.

No mention of Andy Richter Controls the Universe? That was one of the best shows ever created!

[Ksyrup]

I haven't seen this one mentioned, and I'm not sure when this actually went on sale, but now that I know it IS on sale, I might be ordering:


hxxp://store.kidsinthehallondvd.com/kidsinhalldvds.html (http://store.kidsinthehallondvd.com/kidsinhalldvds.html)

[sabotai]

Yeah, Kids In The Hall came out on DVD recently. Seeing the Comedy Central commercial for it is what gave me the idea to start up this convo, since I've been waiting for that one to come out on DVD for awhile as well.

[cincyreds]

I agree with Early Edition....I really enjoyed that show.

Seinfield...YES!

[cincyreds]

Hot Chick Survivor....I would like to see that one for sure.

oops! that's a thread....sorry.

but just imagine!

Alf maybe?

Sandford and son are out on dvd.. i've seen them.. season 1 and 2

[Ksyrup]

Fresh Prince (season 1 and 2 were funny.. the rest... blah)
This would only be good for the Unintentional Comedy aspects of it. Not that's he's a great actor now, but those first few years, he was as close as an "actor" can get to having the words whispered in his ear during filming. It was painful, yet funny, to watch. So for that quality, I guess I agree. Otherwise, you've got to be kidding!

80s TV Shows that will never see the light again but I'd love to have on DVD...

Anyone who's really into DVDs, Home Theater or TV Shows on DVD should really check out the site hxxp://www.tvshowsondvd.com (remove the xx).

Actually, Will Smith was very good at memorizing the script. Too good, really, because he would memorize the entire script. If you watch the early episodes, you'll see him mouth the lines of the other actors as they speak. Now that's funny to watch. :)

I am glad I am not the only one that wants this!

[AZSpeechCoach]

The Weird Al Show - CBS Saturday mornings from 96-97. There were only 13 episodes, but it was some of the strangest, most surreal shit you could imagine...and it had Judy Tenuta as a fortune teller. It doesn't get better than that.

[lcjjdnh]

Another show I just thought of because I was thinking about an incident in a particular episode(The owner trading the Breakers' Number 1 pick(presumably Keyshawn) to the Cowboys for some oil fields and a date with Jerry Jones)

[Pyser]

holy mega-bump. i wonder how many shows listed in this thread have come out or are scheduled to, in the year since the conversation started. (aka - ill let someone else do it).

[jbmagic]

so far these came out that people wanted here..

ALF
Knight Rider
Cheers
Dallas
Sledge Hammer!
Seinfield
A-Team
The Dukes of Hazzard

Newsradio, Cheers, and Ed.

[Karlifornia]

Trigger Happy TV
Tales From The Crypt
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
My Big Fat Greek Life
Jake and the Fatman
Blossom

Ok, those last three are just so I can laugh at those who buy them.

On San Jose public access, they sometimes have this program called "Medical Marijuana Update". It's two middle-aged women who start out talking about medical marijuana, but then they start getting high and it depreciates into them laughing non-stop and talking about--well...I'm not really sure. I would buy the DVD.

[sabotai]

so far these came out that people wanted here..

But sadly, still no Nightstand.... :(

[AZSpeechCoach]

Greg the Bunny is out on DVD. The wife and I picked it up. I had forgotten how weird that was. The special features are priceless.

[kcchief19]

Newsradio, Cheers, and Ed.Cheers is already out too -- the fourth season comes out early next year. Newsradio is supposed to be coming out but keeps getting pushed back for undisclosed reasons. Ed -- I'm completely on board with. I'd love to have that out. I think WKRP is now top on my list.

[Klinglerware]

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

The complete series is already out (including a couple of unaired episodes). I should know, since it's currently in my DVD player. It's absolutely hilarious, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't get the concept...

Still waiting for Aliens in the Family and Blossom...

Whoa, there was a Silver Surfer tv show? What year was this?

It was a cartoon about five years ago or so. The show was canceed after one season despite decent ratings, first rate scripts, and a classic character. Marvel was having serious financial troubles at the time, if I recall, even though they had done storyboards for the second season,

It features classics like Thanos, Galactus, Adam Warlock and The Watchers.

[bossfan2000]

I would like to see these...(most have been mentioned)

Ed
WKRP In Cincinnati

Newsradio ( i really want the episode when they say goodbye to Phils character..was that not one of the most emotional 30 minutes of tv? You could tell the characters were not acting, and were really trying to say goodbye and deal with his death. I still miss him)

Stingray
Brooklyn Bridge (anyone other than me remember this show?)

Silk Stalkings ( thought the 2 main (original) characters had great chemistry..esp near the end of the show)

[Karim]

The first season of Silk Stalkings is out...

Season one of Miami Vice will be coming out in February...

[lurker]

Newsradio is supposed to be coming out but keeps getting pushed back for undisclosed reasons.

I ordered Newsradio last year when it was supposed to be released in three months (February of this year). Now whenever I go to Amazon, it says "Your December 8, 2003 order is being processed and prepared for shipment." If I didn't know that they're still putting together the extras I'd really be impressed with how carefully Amazon packages things. :)

[G-Man]

Falcon Crest. :)

Did you watch Dallas as well? BTW, how does one get the Soap Network Channel?

[Surtt]

How about "Remote Control - the Kari season"

[DolphinFan1]

How about Quantum Leap? I used to love that show :)

This is already out. Season one is I mean. I already have it.
Season two comes out on Dec. 14th I believe.
