I'd give an obscene amount of money to have Jack & Bobby released on DVD. I have a bootleg release, but I'd love to have this incredible and gone-too-soon series released properly on DVD.

Yeah, that is a show that I thought should have run much longer than it did. I really wouldn't mind revisiting this series and a nice DVD or Blu-Ray release would be just the ticket. Checked amazon and it looks like at one time, there was a Standard Definition version for sale (streaming) but it is not currently available.

After seeing this post I decided to pull a couple of episodes off the shelf to watch and it wasn't a bad show. Too bad it was only a spring tryout.

And all the more reason why I wanted to see what it was about!

I watched Jennifer Slept Here first run when I was in high school. I liked it at the time but I have a feeling if I saw it today, it would be pretty bad. I would buy it anyway for nostalgia sake... as an aside, I think it was on Friday Night. Not real sure why I remember that

I have a set and yes it is bad and does not hold up. Ann Jillian was wasted in this dreck. The only bright spot is the episode where Gail Edwards shows up as another ghost who tries to take over Jennifer's territory. Gail looked absolutely gorgeous in this show, much more so than she did on It's a Living. The screen caps do not do her justice.

Not to leave out of course that I saw the title sequence thereof and heard the title track, and quite honestly have enjoyed both:

People's Choice, Happy, The Third Man, It's About TIme and Run For Your Life.
People's Choice is my number one "grail show" right now . I also love Happy which is patterned after the concept of People's Choice.
Many of my favorites are mentioned in previous lists like Mr Fitzgerald's .
I'd like to mention some short lived westerns :
The Americans
The Gray Ghost ,
Casey Jones ,
Trackdown ,
Johnny Ringo
Hotel DiParee,
I'd love to buy complete runs of any of these shows .

$#*! My Dad Says (the William Shatner sitcom from 2010) - it didn't even get to finish out a full season, but I was thinking about it the other day and felt like watching it again. I wasn't surprised to find that it wasn't on DVD/BD, but I was surprised that it wasn't available on any of the streaming services.
