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

I'm really surprised that "thirtysomething" hasn't made its way to DVD yet, especially with the exposure that Patricia Wettig and Ken Olin have gotten on "Brothers & Sisters", as well as Timothy Busfield on "West Wing," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and directing on "Lipstick Jungle."

I haven't seen "thirtysomething" since it's original run, but would love to see it again.

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

Only 1 made it to dvd in 2008 from my list and that is "Kate & Allie: Season 5".

So here is my revised list for 2009...I will begin by reiterating one that seems to be very popular on people's lists.

1) The Lucy Show: Season 1
2) Gimme a Break!: Season 3
3) Kate & Allie: Season 6
4) Hart to Hart: Season 3
5) One in a Million (one season wonder w/Shirley Hemphill)
6) The Facts Of Life: Season 4
7) Laverne & Shirley: Season 5
8) It's A Living: Season 1
9) All in the Family: Season 7
10) Hazel: Season 2

Forgot to included "What's Happening Now!!" Season 2 which is at the top of my list.

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.


Well, as everyone can see my list didn't turn out too well. First of all I assumed my favorite show of all time - THE FUGITIVE - would continue to be released and we all know how that turned out. I also assumed we'd finish VTTBOTS and that didn't happen. Fortunately, it looks like we will see it completed this year. And of course I bombed on assuming we'd see more FLIPPER released.

As for my actual 10 wish list releases for last year, I only saw 2 come to fruition, and one of those was mangled by CBS/Paramount (MY THREE SONS). So that leaves me with a grand total of one show - THE DONNA REED SHOW. I'm grateful for that one, but boy I thought I'd see a better percentage than that. Oh well, so much for my skills of prognostication.

Not that I wouldn't want to see all the shows I originally listed. I would. But there are certainly others that should have been ranked ahead of some. So here's my new list for the remainder of the year (even though we've only got December left for most announcements).

1) THE FUGITIVE (S 2-4 with original musical score)
2) LEAVE IT TO BEAVER (S 3-6)
3) SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN
4) PATTY DUKE SHOW
5) THE LUCY SHOW
6) VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (S 4)
7) NAKED CITY (S 1 in particular)
8) MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (original uncut hour version)
9) RIFLEMAN (keeping fingers crossed that it really is coming in big set)
10) LASSIE (full run up through black & white Ranger eps)

I didn't even list THE WONDER YEARS because that's the one show I'm firmly convinced is never coming. At least never coming uncut - which is the only way I'd buy it.

Yikes! I didn't even realize I had updated my list. It's even worse than the first one!!!

Gary "wow, I really bombed out big time" O.
