What series do you want so badly you would be willing to pay a premium price? (1 Viewer)

[cineMANIAC]

My current "holy grail" release is an entire series run of Benson. I doubt Sony would charge a hundred bucks+ for this, though. I caught this series mostly through syndicated runs on free TV back through the mid 80's and I always got the jokes even though I was only 10 or 11. Very funny show.

 

[Bryan^H]

I love Benson, and would buy a complete series.

 

[Malcolm R]

Ditto on Benson.

I'd also like a decent version of Due South. The only available releases were highly-compressed DVD's from 15+ years ago either from Alliance in Canada, or Echo Bridge in US.

Also the David E. Kelley shows, Picket Fences and Boston Public. I have the DVD series set of PF from Australia (only season one was released in US), but would love it on blu-ray. I don't think BP has ever been released in any format.

 

[Walter Kittel]

Minus the remastered FX, there is every reason to believe that the HD versions of B5 currently on HBO MAX will come to blu-ray. Warner has been very good about releasing their shows on disc.

Oh yeah, I know. This is sort of a wish list thread, and new FX to take advantage of a BD presentation would be the icing on the cake, and the aspect of a release that would justify a premium price. I've watched some of the episodes on HBO Max and the FX sequences are badly in need of a major revision, at least IMHO.

The Odd Couple (fixed)
Burke's Law, S2
The Love Boat (complete and fully remastered. The last two season releases were old transfers and music edited)
Fantasy Island (complete)
Sheena, Queen of The Jungle (complete and remastered from 35mm source elements)
Switch
Ellery Queen (needs a redo to fix the goof on the pilot movie credits)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Alfred Hitchock Hour (complete; earlier seasons need to replace the overseas versions used on some episodes that don't have Hitch endings or sponsor gag references)

Some titles I might have listed in the past like Jack Benny and Burns and Allen I've assembled enough of.

 

[HubbaBubbaKid]

i would pay a premium for (on dvd / blu ray) :

Kung Fu in HD w/ season one fixed back to 4:3

Hawaii Five-O in HD

the remaining seasons of Petticoat Junction and Love American Style (remastered at least )

Room 222 Complete series (remastered)

the Farmers Daughter (remastered)—can’t have enough Inger Stevens

You can buy Hawaii Five-O in HD on Amazon and very good the quality is too.

My holy grail series would be The Name of The Game.

thanks for the heads up but i prefer physical media as of now , maybe i’ll get into buying digital in the future , who knows? its ironic bc i was a streaming only guy until i started collecting TV on dvd/blu ray .

never say never (just ask sean connery) . i hope the IDOJ blu ray set sells well so that starts the ball rolling on physical HD releases of more catalog titles (that don’t have a movie tie-in) . i hope they don’t just want to repackage existing sets like the new megapak Fugitive and Emergency! sets . i’m really suprised IDOJ came before Bewitched . maybe it was a cost thing for Mill Creek , i’d love to know the backstory on how they acquired it .

While we're on the subject of TV movies -- why haven't more TV movies been released on DVD and Blu-ray over the years? Besides Ben's great list, there's 1974's "A Case of Rape" (Elizabeth Montgomery), and many others that SHOULD be released.

I did forget among the Hanna-Barbera stuff, these:
Touche Turtle and Dum Dum
Yogi's Treasure Hunt
The New Yogi Bear Show
(I can live without Yo! Yogi, though)

And these TV movies from Paramount Television:
The New Healers (1972) -- was a pilot episode for the never-aired series Med-Ex
Law and Order (1976)
Escape from Bogen County (1977)
Red Alert (1977)
Delta County, U.S.A. (1977)
Mary Jane Harper Cried Last Night (1977)
Flesh and Blood (1979)
Letters from Frank (1979)
The Gift (1979)
The Top of the Hill (1980)
The Girl, the Gold Watch and Everything (1980)
The Girl, the Gold Watch and Dynamite (1981)
Roman Holiday (1987)
Shooter (1988)

Fury, the old TV series with Peter Graves. I have the best-of disc, and season one, but it's not out in the states. Years ago it was released across the pond, but I didn't find out until too late, and now even those season sets are not available. It's the one big hole in my collection.

Sure it is, in just as poor quality as the release that you and I own. I love the show.

Fury - Die Abenteuer eines Pferdes - Gesamtedition

I contacted Pidax. They emailed back to confirm it has an English soundtrack.

 

[Montytc]

A few that come to mind:
77 Sunset Strip
Hawaiian Eye
Burkes Law Season 2
My Three Sons - the rest
Brackens World - obscure show from 1969-1970

 

[Josh Steinberg]

$#*! My Dad Says, with William Shatner. It’s not an all time great show but it makes me laugh. Only 18 episodes before it got canned. I’ve still got copies from when it aired but I’d like something official in better shape.

 

[Bryan^H]

I'd love some classic Westerns in HD. There are a ton right now...just not available, not even digital purchases, just streaming. Weird situation. They look amazing, but I cannot buy them.

Laramie
Death Valley Days
The Virginian

 

[ian McLachlan]

Mine would be - 1. The Defenders seasons 2 -4 2. My World and Welcome to It 3. Run for Your Life 4. Cowboy in Africa 5. He and She. 6. Mr, Novak Series 2 7. Nanny and the Professor 8. The Third Man 9. The Bill Dana Show 10. Jeff's Collie.

 

[MatthewA]

I will pay up to $500 for a restored/remastered truly uncut St. Elsewhere complete series set.*

And I'll pay $227 for the entirety of 227.

*I'll pay a little more if I have to to get it used and circumvent the mouse.
