Re: Top 10 shows that need to be on DVD

There are probably more, but the first five that came to mind...

5. Wait Till Your Father Gets Home - Cartoon Network used to air this every once in a while (probably more than a decade ago) and I loved it. Wish I had taped a few episodes. I'm not sure if this was a HB show; if it is then there's at least a chance of seeing it released.

4. The Amazing Race 2-6, 8+ - I've got no idea what's going on with this show. There hasn't been a release or any news in almost a year, but the producer has said (in July or August IIRC) that they intend to release them all. I'd even buy the Family Edition.

3. The Beatles - I don't know about most Beatles fans, but I'd rather see the 1965 cartoon series (complete, with even the "un-PC" parts included) than a Cirque de Soleil show.

2. The Wonder Years - It's safe to say that we'll never get it with all the original music, but as long as it isn't completely bastardized, I'd love to own this.

1. Survivor: Africa, Marquesas, Thailand, and Amazon - It's bad enough that they aren't releasing them in order. It's awful when you realize that Vanuatu is being released before all of these.

Re: Top 10 shows that need to be on DVD

"Needs to be" is not quite the way I would put it but the 10 shows that really should be on DVD (and limiting it to 10 is difficult)

The Fugitive
The Untouchables
Hawaii Five-O
The Invaders
Dobie Gillis
Burns and Allen
The Defenders
Ben Casey
Route 66
Dr. Kildare

I forgot all about Undressed, that was a pretty fun show, and I imagine it would sell decently if they priced it right!
