On WAC's Facebook page, they were once asked about the Abbott & Costello animated series from the late 60s. Their response was "They need to be remastered, so no ETA, as there are 165 5-minute cartoons to deal with....but they are on the radar." That was back in 2016, so I have no idea if they ever started the remastering process. Probably not.

I had asked Archive on Facebook a couple of years ago about the Blue Knight. They replied that they had both the miniseries and the regular series and planned to release them. The miniseries has a terrific bluray release. But no sign of the regular series. They’re classic tv releases seem to have dried up. Hopefully 2020 changes course. I would buy about half the titles on that list.

 

[Dave Lawrence]

There's also Rafferty, a 1977 medical drama starring Patrick McGoohan. With only 13 episodes, it would make a nice one-and-done release which I would gladly purchase.

 

[Mysto]

Many of these will probably never see the light of day because of music rights. 77 SS and it's offspring are casualties of this problem.

 

[StarDestroyer52]

I hope they allow WAC to release Josie and the Pussycats+Outer Space since next year will be the 50th anniversary. Also be nice if WAC could release some of the older Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies stuff. Wonder Woman will probably come out to tie in with Wonder Woman 1984 but that will surely be Warner Home Video not WAC.

 

[Peter M Fitzgerald]

I'd add:

G.E. True (1962-63, Warner Bros Television)
Diana (1973, via Warner/HBO acquiring a portion of the Talent Associates-Norton Simon library)

 

[JamesSmith]

How about:
The Cowboys (movie spin off)
Chicago Teddy Bears.

They're two short lived series, but I want to see them.

I’d love the New Dick Van Dyke show but they were non-committal when I asked about it a couple years ago, so I figure that’s a big fat “nope!”

I agree. It's among my most wanted still unreleased series, but I have a feeling that since there's been not even a hint of a possibility by now, it's unfortunately not going to happen. Same for Chico and the Man, although at least it got a "Television Favorites" disc of 6 episodes over a decade ago.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Although it’s newer than the decades listed for this post, I’d also love a copy of the single season sitcom $#*! My Dad Says with William Shatner. It wasn’t a great show but I got a great show’s worth of enjoyment out of it.

Doc Elliot
Hunter

Count me in for these two James Franciscus series, especially the espionage-oriented Hunter.
Both were originally by Lorimar Productions.


“Good evening, Baker.”

I thought Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space was available via WB Archives.

I picked that show up in a trade with someone who recorded it in one of the Scandinavian countries. Amazing what shows which have never re-aired in the U.S. that you can find that have run in other parts of the world. Just off the top of my head, I can think of The Partners, Project UFO, Funny Face, The Smith Family, The Debbie Reynolds Show. That's not even including the ones which ran years ago on Armed Forces Network, like The Manhunter.

 

[Ron1973]

Let's add Enos in. I'm really surprised that one hasn't made it out. Someone on YouTube has a couple of episodes posted that came from Betamax transfers that were in Sonny Shroyer's possession that were recorded during the network run. They said they were going to upload the rest of the episodes, but I don't know if they ever got around to it.

I'm surprised Shout! didn't try to get that along with Welcome Back, Kotter which got a complete series set.

Another one I'd be surprised to see: The Fitzpatricks, a CBS/Warner Bros. family drama from 1977-1978 that ran half a season.* This was supposed to do for Jimmy McNichol what Family did for Kristy McNichol. It didn't, yet it gave Helen Hunt one of the first regular roles of her career. It also has Clark Brandon (Eddie from The Facts of Life) and Sean Marshall (the original Pete from Pete's Dragon).

*It still outran Richard Pryor's eponymous NBC show in the same time slot. That was gone in a month!

How about
A Man Called Hawk with Avery Brooks
Time Express
Goodnight, Beantown

Just remembered them.

I loved Goodnight, Beantown. I think a couple of episodes are available on YouTube. I remember watching it when I was a kid primarily because of Bill Bixby. I was a fan of My Favorite Martian and The Incredible Hulk.

I would like Enos. Unfortunately Warner probably won’t release it due to its relationship to Dukes of Hazzard. IMO that’s truly unfortunate
Mayberry RFD otoh is one I’m hoping for as well. However I doubt it will come due to the Music rights issues in court by the Hagan estate lawsuit over the Andy Griffith theme
