The Wonder Years

Anyone remember Rocko's Modern Life? This show was on Nickelodeon a while back when I was a kid. Funny as hell, i still watch all my recorded tapes, since they dont air for some reason now. I would love to see this show in its entirety.

My number one choice would be the greatest televison drama of all time: "St. Elsewhere".

Others: "Seinfeld", "The Wonder Years", "Northern Exposure", "Freaks & Geeks", "The Bob Newhart Show"

Anyone remember Rocko's Modern Life?

yes, and i also remember the $50 bucks a friend and i forked over for all the episodes on ebay, and how crappy all the tapes looked...bastard. i would love to see these underrated episodes in crisp dvd.

i also agree with the wonder years(which is my most realistic request).

Max Headroom

Yes please! Release all 13 episodes in a multi-disc set, and include the original British TV movie on an additional disc. Any outtakes, commentary, making of specials, etc, would also be appreciated. The could even include some of the commercials (for Pepsi, I believe?) that featured Max Headroom, although perhaps that might be difficult for legal reasons.

A highly under-appreciated series... and unfortunately short lived.

Red Dwarf (which is coming, yay!)

Unfortunately, this will probably be the "remastered" versions where they messed around with the lighting and effects? Is any information available about this?

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

Northern Exposure tops my list.

Others I'd like to see include The Waltons (that time compressed TNN version drives me nuts!), Eight is Enough, James at 15/16, This Old House...

Alias. It would probably be the only show I could convince my wife that full season sets would be worth the money.

The Golden Girls
There's a reason why Lifetime is still in operation, and this series is why. Make no mistake about it.

The copyright for Way Out apparently rests with Andrew Susskind's company "Pamandisam". I've yet to ever get a response from him(/them) when I queried about the program.

Gunsmoke. All 633 episodes from 1955 to 1975, or at least as many as still exist. Plus all the episodes of the shortlived Dirty Sally spinoff series as a bonus.

That's a lot of DVDs. Perhaps I can wait until HD-DVD makes it possible to store about 12 hours of DVD-quality video on one disc. That way the whole series would take only one entire row of a storage shelf instead of taking a whole storage shelf unit unto itself.

 

[David Von Pein]

Gunsmoke. All 633 episodes

Between 79 and 105 discs. That's a lot of Dillon!

 

[Craig_T]

Seinfeld
The Wonder Years

ER is *SCREAMING* for Region 1 release. I'm close to just getting the Japan DVDs, but I'd really rather be able to get R1 releases. With Friends selling successfully, I hope Warner will give their #1 drama season box set releases...soon.
Others that I *REALLY* want, and would buy w/o hesitation: Home Improvement, Wonder Years, Boy Meets World, NewsRadio
A lot others if released would get my attention and probably my money, but the 5 I've mentioned are what's screaming to me.

Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm", which is getting more and more brilliant as it rolls along. In the third season now, it actually puts me on the floor with laughter on a regular basis. Far and away my favorite show on the air right now. Even "The Sopranos", which I still enjoy and look forward to, is becoming little more than a warm-up for Larry David time!
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" has always gotten rave reviews, and this year even the Emmys noticed it with some high-profile nominations. So how 'bout it, HBO? A couple nice complete season sets would make me as happy as Larry David is miserable and petty.
That and the rest of "Mr. Show" and "The Larry Sanders Show" A.S.A.P., please.
