I had no choices for the Family and Animated categories.

For me it would be the first two seasons of SCTV. Shout Factory really screwed fans when they announced that they would be releasing the show in it's entirety and then decided to pull the plug when the ridiculously expensive sets they created didn't sell very well. The sad thing is they even released the awful Cinemax stuff and a very weak 'early years' compilation featuring stuff that had already been released plus a few really weak bits and pieces from season 3 when John Candy and Catherine Ohara had temporarily left the show. So no Moe Green, no John Fistinyourface fix-it show, just a lot of fun stuff that never has been, and according to Shout Factory, never will be, released on DVD. Sucks!

There are only TWO "Reality" Shows I'd get if they were on DVD.

1. Real People

2. That's Incredible!

BTW All three Lassie Series were actually ONE Show. When it was syndicated it was divied up into three. Many Stations never aired the "Transition" Episodes that "Linked' them. (They occurded during the Fourth and Eleventh Seasons). Only recently was I able to see the "Missing' episodes and put the pieces together!

Sitcom – Pruitt's Of Southampton, Paul Lynde Show, Maybe It's Me

 
Britcoms -  Upper Hand. Murder Most Horrid, 

Family – Shirley (with Shirley Jones), Second Noah, Peaceable Kingdom

 

Western – The Monroes,

Drama – Flamingo Road, A Year In The Life, 

 

Adventure – Tarzan (Ron Ely), Cliffhangers

Mystery – The Snoop Sisters, Mrs. Columbo, Devlin Connection

Crime Drama – Jessie, One West Waikiki, Hunter (with James Franciscus, Linda Evans)

 

Daytime Soap - Another World, Home & Away(Australian), Paradise Beach(Australian)

Legal - L.A. Law

 

 

Daytime Soap - All My Children are patients at General Hospital, where The Doctors are rumored to have come from Another World!

Sorry, I Couldn't resist!

Still so much out there that hasn't been released. The only thing in this thread that's coming out at the moment is Boris Karloff's Thriller. I think the only chance 99% of these shows have is MODs and the occasional direct sales titles from Shout. But I'd like to see each and every one of these shows released within the next decade, and many more besides!

      You can also add Hec Ramsey to the list as that will be coming out this year as well.
     

Far too many to list, but thanks to alternate sets out there, I have managed to fulfill a lot of my want list and, in some cases, discovered that some of them weren't worth being on the list in the first place, haha. 

Still though, lots of stuff from Gary and Neil's lists that I too would like to see and are tough to find.  Here's some I would add:
