Night Court - it ran nine seasons and was part of the groundbreaking NBC Thursday schedule in the 1980's and has done fairly well on TV Land. I never expected it to sell as well as Cheers (which ran roughly the same seasons) but you'd think if Cheers was already up to season 8 on DVD, that Night Court would at least be moving up as well, instead of being grounded with season 1.

Mad About You - it had crossovers with both Seinfeld and Friends... yet where's the devoted fanbase for this show?

Charlie's Angels - Wonder Woman (which started around the same time and never got the ratings CA got) got its entire run out in a year, it's been 3 years and we're still waiting for season 3, and CA was a top 10 smash in it's prime and spawned two $100+ million grossing movies, yet season 3 is still being dangled like "it might come, it might not" carrot

Without A Trace - currently it's kicking ER's butt in the ratings on Thursdays at 10, but ER is actually progressing further on DVD, Warner has grounded Without A Trace at season 1

Everwood - it's a WB series and yet Warner is treating it like garbage on DVD when they usually are so great with shows on the (soon to be late) WB

others?
