Longest wait between seasons on DVD (1 Viewer)

[The Obsolete Man]

Looking back at all the starts and stops some series have gone through, I was wondering what the longest wait between releases for shows have been.


Surely, King of the Hill wins so far, with 8 years between seasons 6 and 7. Of course, The Bob Newhart Show also had an 8 year wait between season 4 and the complete series set in 2014.


WKRP took 7 years between the horrible Fox season 1 and the full series release/season 2. Welcome Back, Kotter also took over 7 years between seasons 1 and 2.


What else took too long to get un-stalled? And has anything beaten KOTH and Bob's 8 year gap?

SWAT-Season 1, released June 2003
SWAT-Season 2, released May 2012

8 years 11 months there!

Hill St. Blues, Seasons 1&2 released in 2006, Complete set 2014. I believe that ties KOTH and Bob Newhart.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Looks like Maude was another 8 year gap show.


The Jeffersons had over 7 years between S6 and the complete series/S7.

We had an 8-year dry spell on Hart to Hart, between Sony's second-season release in 2006 and Shout!'s third-season release in 2014 (Shout! finished the series, of course).
