Great thread by the way...

1. re-release GI Joe
2. '' " Transformers G1
3. Mr. Belvedere
4. The Hogan Family
5. Malcolm in the Middle...more than Season 1 this time.
6. You Can't Do That On Television
7. Salute Your Shorts
8. Ed
9. Ghostbusters
10. More of Heathcliff & Inspector Gagdet

 

[JasonJason]

Great list Matt, you've definitely got some of the ones that I'd name, but here's my official list:

Some Nickelodeon shows first off:

1. You Can't Do That On Television (once announced, but then removed)
2. Salute Your Shorts
3. Dennis the Menace (not technically Nick, but it's where I discovered it)

And others:

4. Ally McBeal
5. Ed
6. War Next Door (short lived series by the creators of Pete and Pete, which by the way is still missing Season Three...)
7. Tales From The Darkside
8. Freddy's Nightmares
9. Exit 57 (Comedy Central)
10. Beavis and Butthead (in proper season sets)

A few runners up:
Monsters, Hey Arnold, The Hollow Men, Viva Variety, Fernwood 2 Nite, Mr. Wizard's World, The Tracy Ullman Show, The State (it's been said that it's coming, but the website says unsure), Friday the 13th, Trailer Park Boys (US release)...

 

[FallGuy]

Good thread.

My big ones are mostly continuations:

1. One Day At A Time
2. NYPD Blue
3. Hill Street Blues
4. The Fall Guy
5. Cheers

Then:

6. Grand (someone else mentioned it - lovely show while it lasted)
7. I'll Fly Away

Beyond that, I'm happy. Most of the rest of what I want is newer stuff, which seems to get regular issue on DVD.

 

[Rob P S]

Alice
All in the Family (7-9)
American Dreams (2-3)
American High
King of the Hill (7+)
Mr. Belvedere
NYPD Blue (5-12)
Siskel & Ebert
Taxi (4-5)
WKRP in Cincinnati (original network versions)

 

[Gary OS]

I'm going to assume shows like THE FUGITIVE, RAWHIDE, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, PERRY MASON, ROUTE 66, FLIPPER and the newly announced FATHER KNOWS BEST will continue to be released so I'm not wasting one of my ten picks on shows that should be coming this year anyhow. Having given that caveat, here are my 10:

LEAVE IT TO BEAVER S3-6 (since this one is really dead, and not just between releases).
DONNA REED SHOW
HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL S4-6 (since this too really is dead, and not just between releases)
MY THREE SONS
MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (Complete episodes, not chopped up syndicated ones)
SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN
FOLLOW THE SUN
WIDE COUNTRY
TARZAN (Ron Ely series)
HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS (original H/B series from early 70's)

Gary "man, it's always so hard to limit myself to 10 - 50 would be more like it" O.

 

[Tory]

I never thought of that. Could this be released? I imagine a rights nightmare unless each studio released collections of their reviews for their films.

 

[Yee-Ming]

Not many I can think of, mainly Spenser For Hire, maybe Vega$ though I'm less keen on the latter.

Of the new shows, Journeyman.

 

[Robert13]

1. Hart to Hart - Season 3
2. Cagney & Lacey - Seasons 3 & 4
3. Gimme a Break! - Season 3
4. The Lucy Show - Season 1
5. All in the Family - Season 7
6. Mama's Family - Season 2
7. The Facts Of Life - Season 4
8. Kate & Allie - Season 5 & 6
9. What's Happening Now!! - Season 2
10. The Patty Duke Show - Season 1

 

[Jason_V]

As long as it's the complete, unedited season, I agree.

 

[whisperintherain]

Here's my contribution:

1)Knots Landing - Seasons 2+
2)Everwood - Seasons 2+
3)Picket Fences - Seasons 2+
4)The Practice - Volumes 2+
5)Party of Five - Seasons 4+
6)Life Goes On - Seasons 2+
7)The Nanny - Seasons 3+
8)Who's The Boss? - Seasons 2+
9)Diff'rent Strokes - Seasons 3+
10)Peyton Place - Collection 1 (since the first season has 114 episodes, it's unlikely to come out as a complete season set)

 

[michael_ks]

For unrelesed series:

1. The Invaders
2. T.H.E. Cat
3. The Defenders
4. The Rebel
5. The Green Hornet
6. The Loner
7. Wagon Train
8. Thriller
9. Sea Hunt
10. Stoney Burke

Foremost I'd like to see the continuation/completion of:

1. The Fugitive
2. Rawhide
3. Have Gun Will Travel
4. Night Gallery
5. The Rifleman
6. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
7. Route 66
8. The Untouchables
9. Alfred Hitchcock Presents
10. Alias Smith & Jones

While most from the immediately above list seem likely to get completed, 2-5 and 10 seem very iffy.

 

[Doug^Ch]

With Have Gun Will Travel, I finally had to do something that I have never done before. I so much wanted to see the continuation of the series, I had to seek out bootleg copies for seasons 4-6. Condemn me if you must, but I saw no other way to see the rest of a series that I fell in love with on dvd.

12 O'Clock High
The Rifleman - all episodes in order
