EW has a list of 23 shows that should be on DVD:

http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20398646,00.html

Having seen the list, I can honestly say:

(Yawn)

I knew there was a reason I don't read Entertainment Weekly!

Aside from the rubbish Suddenly Susan and Veronica's Closet, and those two or three I don't know, all should get the treatment though there should have been some more 60s older shows on the list and I didn't see and 50s or 70s.

"Batman"  was the only show on that list worth being on it.    Maybe "Eight Is Enough" but the rest are ones I have zero interest in for all time.

Well not on my top ten but I certainly would buy Batman, China Beach, Homefront, Wonder Years, Now & Again, Just the 10 of Us, "Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place," Remember WENN, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, Brooklyn Bridge, and I think Eight is Enough, Chicago Hope, I'll fly Away, LA Law and Sisters deserve releases too and I might would buy them, I know many would. These are some highly demanded shows, many of which I think are being held up due to legal problems.

My top 10, well, no order but

Batman (60s)

Maverick

The Jack Benny Program

The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show

New Wave Theatre

The Charmings

Head of the Class

The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

Rags to Riches

Amen

Going back 8 or 10 years, I had quite a long list of shows I wanted to see on DVD. Now there are only 6: Batman (1966), The Green Hornet, the Beatles cartoon show, Not Necessarily the News, the Marvel cartoons of the 60s, and the rest of the DC FIlmation cartoons of the 60s. Everything else has been released (perhaps not completed, but released).

Other stuff I would like to see completed: NYPD Blue, Alf (non-syndicated episodes), the Fugitive (I have to believe season 4 is coming), the Muppet Show (ditto seasons 4 and 5).

I didn't include the Six Million Dollar Man, because it is said to be coming this year.

Also, and I think this is important, many shows from the 80s and 90s need to be upgraded for Blu-Ray. The video for shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, among others, are just not up to the standards of today, and certainly not the standards of tomorrow. Even on DVDs from 2002-2004, these look muddy and soft on modern screens and with upconverted players. If the studios want to keep these shows alive, they have to invest the time and money (and it's not going to be cheap to re-do effects for all those episodes) to keep them fresh. Paramount did a good job with the original Star Trek; they should take the plunge again.

Leave it to Beaver (the remaining 4 seasons)
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet
Wonder Years (all music intact, of course)
Six Million Dollar Man
Dennis the Menace
Hawaiian Eye
Highway Patrol
Wide Country
Fury
Fireside Theater

Since I now own, or will own in the near future, complete season sets of LITB, Fury (R2), The Six Million Dollar Man (supposedly coming soon), along with the 1st season of Highway Patrol (again, supposedly coming soon) here's my updated Top 10 list of shows with no season set releases as of right now:

1) Ozzie and Harriet Season sets (truly impossible from all I know about the uncut masters, or lack thereof, but still on my list)

2) Wonder Years (another impossibility as far as I'm concerned because of the music)

3) Dennis the Menace (hopefully not too "pie in the sky")

4) Dr. Kildare (at least S1 so I can get the fabulous Christmas episode clean & uncut)

5) Wide Country (Timeless, maybe?)

6) Fireside Theater (even just one season set would be nice)

7) In the Heat of the Night (I enjoy the location shots so much with this one)

8) Tarzan (Ron Ely)

9) Father Dowling Mysteries (ok, so it's a personal guilty pleasure - sue me)

10) just anything else from the 50's and/or early to mid 60's that's yet to be released

Gary "Hawaiian Eye has slipped down after seeing a few episodes recently" O. 

The two I'd buy are I'll Fly Away and The Wonder Years. 

I was taken back that Batman wasn't out on DVD though.

1. Family Ties

2. The Wonder Years

3. Family Ties

4. The Wonder Years

5. Family Ties

6. The Wonder Years

7. Family Ties

8. The Wonder Years

9. The Family Years

10. Wonder Ties.

Any Questions?

I'd completely forgot about the sadly one season only series Now and Again.

I had posted in this post about Once and Again, asking if it's just the third season which has not been released on DVD yet. Since then, I've checked on TVShowsOnDVD, and found that only the first and second seasons have been released on DVD so far. So I've deleted the question from what is now the first paragraph of this post (it was after the sentence about Now and Again).

1. Eyes

2. Touching Evil (US)

3. Second Noah

4. Summerland

5. Threat Matrix

6. The Nine

7. Vertias the Quest

8. Line of Fire

9. Step by Step season sets

10. Titans

11.  Boston Public

12. Karen Sisco

13. Young Americans

Continue

Final season of Once and Again

Growing Pains

The Practice

Pickett Fences
 

Couldn't just pick 10 but I do have some episodes that I converted to dvd-r

I can't believe 70's cop drama POLICE STORY isn't on dvd yet!
