There's a lot of shows here I haven't thought of in ages! Personally, I'd give anything for Brooklyn Bridge! I'd also love to see Witchblade (two seasons, but only 23 episodes total, I think). And I'm really looking forward to seeing the Young Indiana Jones series, but thankfully it's in production.
Whenever series like many of those being mentioned in this thread are released in anything less than deluxe editions, the fans seem to lash out ruthlessly. I must admit, as much as the sort of treatment which something like Freaks and Geeks received would be wonderful, I also understand that many of these titles have small audiences compared to a major film release or Lost. Honestly, if they simply receive competent transfers (preferably no double-sided discs, DVD-18s, etc), I'd be very happy and the studios would not have to make huge investments in admitedly not-quite-mainstream products.

They just released "All-American Girl" with Margaret Cho, so definitely, anything is possible. I thought this series would never come out.

Yes, I did buy this set.

James at 15 (quality show, so there is hope a Shout Factory or someone will pick it up)

Battle of the Network Stars (a no brainer given all of the celebrity reality-cooking-dancing-boxing-etc shows taking over prime time these days)

Bob (this would be great. Had forgotten about it)

Count me in for Quark and Cop Rock. The Magician was pretty good, too.

I watched Married...with Children all the time, and the Top of the Heap spinoff was terrible. But I don't remember "Vinnie & Bobby". Are you sure that even exists?

It exists and starred a pre-"Friends" Matt LeBlanc. Check your usual sources.

How about Jennifer Slept Here? Yes? Nah...

Seriously, I just read that "Surface" is coming to dvd in August. This is a very positive thing...I think Surface was very overlooked this season, because it's sci-fi and I think "Invasion" and "Threshold" stole Surface's thunder.

I've added my wants to a couple of other threads along this line, might as well add them here...

Fantastic Journey

The Immortal

It Takes a Thief

Man from Atlantis

Phoenix

Prey

Primus

The Quest

The Starlost

Switch (which actually last three seasons with Eddie Albert and Robert Wagner)

Some of the shows listed by others bring back memories and I would likely be among those buying if they ever showed up.
