Finished on DVD-

Barney Miller
Route 66 (from original elements)
Here Come the Brides

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

In random order:

1. The Green Hornet (Excellent series which introduced Bruce Lee to the American public. This show seriously deserves the DVD treatment.)

2. Batman Adam West (The fans have been waiting way too long. Here's my advice to 20th Century Fox: Fork over the dough that Debra Dozier wants so Batman can finally see the light of day on DVD!)

3. Superboy Season 2+ (The fans were given Season 1, which is great, but we DEMAND the much-superior second season. Release the rest of this great series, WB! )

4. Marvel Action Hour Iron Man series (It would make a perfect tie-in with the Iron Man movie.)

5. Captain Midnight (A show that my dad wants to come to DVD.)

6. All seasons of Power Rangers (These sets would make Disney a TON of money. So, why no action Disney?)

7. VR Troopers (A copy-cat Power Rangers series and a darn great one.)

8. M.A.N.T.I.S. It's been confirmed! M.A.N.T.I.S. is coming to DVD on June 10th! :-D

9. More Toku series DVDs from the company that released Ultraman Series One: Volumes 1 & 2 (Give us some Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series, why don't ya?)

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

Great list Matt, you've definitely got some of the ones that I'd name, but here's my official list:

Some Nickelodeon shows first off:

1. You Can't Do That On Television (once announced, but then removed)
2. Salute Your Shorts
3. Dennis the Menace (not technically Nick, but it's where I discovered it)

And others:

4. Ally McBeal
5. Ed
6. War Next Door (short lived series by the creators of Pete and Pete, which by the way is still missing Season Three...)
7. Tales From The Darkside
8. Freddy's Nightmares
9. Exit 57 (Comedy Central)
10. Beavis and Butthead (in proper season sets)

A few runners up:
Monsters, Hey Arnold, The Hollow Men, Viva Variety, Fernwood 2 Nite, Mr. Wizard's World, The Tracy Ullman Show, The State (it's been said that it's coming, but the website says unsure), Friday the 13th, Trailer Park Boys (US release)...

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

Good thread.

My big ones are mostly continuations:

1. One Day At A Time
2. NYPD Blue
3. Hill Street Blues
4. The Fall Guy
5. Cheers

Then:

6. Grand (someone else mentioned it - lovely show while it lasted)
7. I'll Fly Away

Beyond that, I'm happy. Most of the rest of what I want is newer stuff, which seems to get regular issue on DVD.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

Alice
All in the Family (7-9)
American Dreams (2-3)
American High
King of the Hill (7+)
Mr. Belvedere
NYPD Blue (5-12)
Siskel & Ebert
Taxi (4-5)
WKRP in Cincinnati (original network versions)

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

I'm going to assume shows like THE FUGITIVE, RAWHIDE, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, PERRY MASON, ROUTE 66, FLIPPER and the newly announced FATHER KNOWS BEST will continue to be released so I'm not wasting one of my ten picks on shows that should be coming this year anyhow. Having given that caveat, here are my 10:

LEAVE IT TO BEAVER S3-6 (since this one is really dead, and not just between releases).
DONNA REED SHOW
HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL S4-6 (since this too really is dead, and not just between releases)
MY THREE SONS
MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (Complete episodes, not chopped up syndicated ones)
SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN
FOLLOW THE SUN
WIDE COUNTRY
TARZAN (Ron Ely series)
HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS (original H/B series from early 70's)

Gary "man, it's always so hard to limit myself to 10 - 50 would be more like it" O.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

I never thought of that. Could this be released? I imagine a rights nightmare unless each studio released collections of their reviews for their films.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

Not many I can think of, mainly Spenser For Hire, maybe Vega$ though I'm less keen on the latter.

Of the new shows, Journeyman.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

1. Hart to Hart - Season 3
2. Cagney & Lacey - Seasons 3 & 4
3. Gimme a Break! - Season 3
4. The Lucy Show - Season 1
5. All in the Family - Season 7
6. Mama's Family - Season 2
7. The Facts Of Life - Season 4
8. Kate & Allie - Season 5 & 6
9. What's Happening Now!! - Season 2
10. The Patty Duke Show - Season 1

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

As long as it's the complete, unedited season, I agree.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

Here's my contribution:

1)Knots Landing - Seasons 2+
2)Everwood - Seasons 2+
3)Picket Fences - Seasons 2+
4)The Practice - Volumes 2+
5)Party of Five - Seasons 4+
6)Life Goes On - Seasons 2+
7)The Nanny - Seasons 3+
8)Who's The Boss? - Seasons 2+
9)Diff'rent Strokes - Seasons 3+
10)Peyton Place - Collection 1 (since the first season has 114 episodes, it's unlikely to come out as a complete season set)

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

For unrelesed series:

1. The Invaders
2. T.H.E. Cat
3. The Defenders
4. The Rebel
5. The Green Hornet
6. The Loner
7. Wagon Train
8. Thriller
9. Sea Hunt
10. Stoney Burke

Foremost I'd like to see the continuation/completion of:

1. The Fugitive
2. Rawhide
3. Have Gun Will Travel
4. Night Gallery
5. The Rifleman
6. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
7. Route 66
8. The Untouchables
9. Alfred Hitchcock Presents
10. Alias Smith & Jones

While most from the immediately above list seem likely to get completed, 2-5 and 10 seem very iffy.

Re: If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

With Have Gun Will Travel, I finally had to do something that I have never done before. I so much wanted to see the continuation of the series, I had to seek out bootleg copies for seasons 4-6. Condemn me if you must, but I saw no other way to see the rest of a series that I fell in love with on dvd.
