TV Shows that aren't on DVD (but should be).

[quote name='ryanbph']Third Watch, great show[/QUOTE]

Yes, I agree. I found this show in reruns. Unfortunately, I read due to all the licensed music aired on the TV show, the DVD release is unlikely because of licensing fees. Either that or they would have to put in sound-alike songs.

It would be nice if they could straighten it all out with the original music. They did with Miami Vice, and that has tons of licensed music.
 
[quote name='AngellicLulu']I agree on Daria.
Brisco County Jr. is my nomination. I miss that show ; ;[/QUOTE]

I actually never watched it, but I'd pick it up on DVD.
 
Tripping the fucking Rift already. Been waiting for what seems like forever. At least is said to be in the works and supposed to be coming out on October 23 though, but we'll see if it comes to fruition though.
 
Does anyone remember that show that used to come on NBC really early in the morning before Mr. Bogus and Captain N? It was a really, really bad Wayne's World ripoff, and the two guys would hop in their TV set and turn into animated bulldogs on surfboards until some eyeball thing would chase them out. I think they also had some comedic live-action segments in between...like some guy dressed up as a vampire or something. Anyway...it was a really wacked out show, but fairly entertaining.
 
The State
Cartoon Planet (A variety show with Space Ghost, Brak, and Zorak...it was great)
MTV's Oddities (It was the one with that dude and the bighead, aired usually with...)
The Maxx
Freakazoid
Pinky and the Brain
I'd also kill for season sets of Saturday Night Live, instead of these stupid best of volumes.

Coach


Someone also mentioned Fraggle Rock, which is out on 3 volumes, with the 1st season due on September 6th.
 
Grounded for life and rude awakening. Rude awakening is one of my all time favorite shows, starring sherilyn fenn as a struggling alcoholic. Wicked funny. I only taped like 5 episodes though, and have got about 6 or 7 more from emmy consideration tapes I bought off ebay. I've tried trying to find more, but no one seems to be selling them (other than the pre-recorded emmy tapes) on any tv show message boards or anything.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)
[/QUOTE]

He-Man & the MOTU (2002) will be released along with the classic series sometime in the near future.

[quote name='rawer']Batman (60's)
Six Million Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman[/QUOTE]

Six Million and Bionic Woman DVD sets are in the works. Batman will likely never be released due to rights issues.

[quote name='Jobbercho']The Wonder Years[/QUOTE]

This will likely never be released on DVD. If it is, expect 90% of the music to be changed. It's too costly to release this series on DVD since it used a lot of classic/popular music.

[quote name='Ozzkev55']Thunder In Paradise

Yes the show with Hulk Hogan, and Curt Lemmon. Me, and my dad were regular watchers of the show, and I loved it. I would gladly pay good money to get it on DVD[/QUOTE]

I remember this series. It was actually pretty decent. I'd like to see it on DVD.

[quote name='ajh2298']Brisco County Jr
The State
The Flash
and Parker Lewis Cant Lose[/QUOTE]

I've never seen Brisco County, but I know dozens of people that swear by it. I'd have to check it out if it came out on DVD.

I still haven't seen my DVDs of The State, but I'm sure that it's awesome. With all the talented people in it, how can it not be? Anyway, at least they are working on getting this out, and aren't doing a half-assed job. They said they won't release it until they get all the rights to all the music in the show.

By "The Flash," do you mean the comic adaptation that was on CBS in the early nineties. I remember that show; it was pretty good. "If you ever need me... I'll be there in a flash."

Parker Lewis... I remember watching that when they showed it on USA. Wasn't it originally on Fox?

twilight zone (in a reasonable set, not 80 volumes)
[/QUOTE]

What, the 5 Definitive Edition Season Sets that are slowly coming out aren't good enough?

[quote name='punqsux']
thunder cats
he man and the masters of the universe
[/QUOTE]

Those are slowly coming out as well. Thundercats just started coming out (Although there are some issues with the set). He-Man season sets are coming starting in Oct.

I agree with a lot of your other picks, though... Gotta love my shiny new X-Men season 1 disc, though. :)
 
[quote name='punqsux']holy crap i never knew about those TZ sets! thanks![/QUOTE]

Happy to spread the word. Twilight Zone is probably the greatest TV show of all time, so the more people that can pick these up, the better. The first season even comes with a shrunk down version of "The Twilight Zone Companion".
 
[quote name='punqsux']there are, of course, always alternatives..
https://www.dvdavenue.tv/products.php?iProductID=325&iCollectionID=79[/QUOTE]

Never seen that website before. Thanks. Some of the prices are outrageous, though, especially for things so recent that will be released on DVD ($80 for Desperate Housewives Season 1?! Come on!). Still, it's cool that there are people out there who have collected classic TV series for other TV lovers.

X-Men Season 1? Which X-Men, the animated series from the early 90s? Did you happen to obtain this disc from a certain website named after an organ located near the stomach? A friend of mine gave me that disc and it's pretty kickass.
 
I want Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude!. And Welcome Freshmen. I miss those shows.
I saw something promising at Hot Topic the other day while looking for the Death Jr figures though, Hey Dude logo and Camp Anawana t-shirts, with the Nick Rewind logo on the tags... could this be a good sign? I hope so.

Supposedly Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts DVDs are in the works, but there is no release date set for them. It looks like they are concentrating more on the Clarissa and Pete & Pete sets that they have started.

That would be the exact disc I'm talking about. :)
 
[quote name='punqsux']
F Troop
wacky races
johnny quest (60's)
sgt. bilko
hogans heroes (is this out?)
[/quote]

All of these came out on DVD as well. Although, of these, I believe only Wacky Races has been completely released. The others only have only season 1 out, or a "Best Of" collection.
 
[quote name='rawer']Batman (60's)
Six Million Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman[/QUOTE]

Here here for Batman. I've been dying for that since they did such a great job with the 1966 movie on DVD.

[quote name='punqsux']holy crap i never knew about those TZ sets! thanks![/QUOTE]

Yeah the new definitive edition DVDs are awesome - When I heard they were first coming out I dumped the old sets on eBay and have bought all of the new ones as they came out and it is totally worth it.

I'd love to see an actual season-by-season release of SNL. Also Unsolved Mysteries.
 
"It's Your Move" - that was jason Bateman's spin-off from silver spoons. You can say he was the original parker lewis.

"Batman Beyond"

yeah i agree some of those prices are insane, but all things considered (as long as the quality is good) the batman set is fairly reasonable since there are close to 200 episodes anyways.

and yes thats the website ^^ season 2's expected release date is actully sept 1st, i dont think it will be that soon but the guy scripting the dvd does, so im just going by what i hear ^^ expect all 5 seasons by years end ^^

i thought i saw hogan's box sets but wasnt sure (and was too lazy to look ^^)the thing that bugs me about how old shows are released is often they just do the first season to test the waters and sometimes stop, that bugs the hell out of me!! SOMEHOW (thankfully) green acres got its 2nd season out! (now just 6 more to go...wishful thinking ^^)

ill look into those series' and see whats around, especially the wacky races one, i love that show!
 
[quote name='Supernothing']

My pick, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis[/QUOTE]
thank you! the sheer absurdity and amazing characters make me love this show, especially dobies ultra violent father

Yeah, Batman had a ridiculous amount of episodes. It would be a chore to get those on DVD.

That guy did an excellent job on the X-Men Season 1 DVD. Lots of great info, and the quality of the episodes was pretty good.

pfft on you two for having just one season, i have all five seasons.. i just want a real DVD of them and not have the foxkids logo plastered on them!

Hey, it was free and I didn't have to download anything (friend gave me a copy), so what can I say? As for the logo, doesn't bother me. It's a tiny space on the big picture, so I just don't look at it.

What other goodies from the past are you currently getting, Scorch?
 
1) Tales From the Darkside

Produced by George Romero and Richard Rubenstein, the same team that did Dawn of the Dead and most of Romero's other films, this is my favorite series of all time. This was like a more intelligent (and demonic) Tales From the Crypt. I already have all the episodes on a bootleg dvd, but this needs an actual decent treatment (at least as well as Ray Bradbury Theater got).

2) Birds of Prey

This show is cheezy as hell, and it's pretty far out (infinite earth-esque take on the Batman universe), but I enjoyed for some sick reason. Three hot chicks, Batman villians... How can you really go wrong?

3) Today's Special, You Can't Do that on Television, and Turkey Television

These were on Nickelodeon when I was like 5 and I can't remember if they were actually good or if I was too young to notice. I'm pretty sure all were Canadian imports in a much better time when Nickelodeon wasn't a mass-market media and toy giant. Oh yeah, and it went off the air at like 5 or 6 pm and A&E came on in the evenings then. I'd just like to see a "Best of the early 80's Nickelodeon" DVD with a sample of all of those old shows.
 
[quote name='RiCeBo1']Rocko's Modern Life[/QUOTE]

Most definately, I said that earlier. I would buy that in a heartbeat. I have a VHS of like 5 episodes, I believe.

I would like to see Fairly Oddparnets, actually. (Don't hurt me)
