Most requested "stalled" show?

This is tough choice due to the fact other people will have different opinions. I would say the following are top of my list

1. Night Gallery

2. WKRP

3. SWAT

4. Early Edition

5. Charlie's Angels

6. Melrose Place

7. Fall Guy

8. Family Ties

9. Knots Landing

10. Cannon

Judging from what I've heard I would say Green Acres.

As for me personally I would say Barnaby Jones.

Green Acres or The Bob Newhart Show.

I say GREEN ACRES and I'm wondering if we'll ever see that TV series completed

The Adventures of Pete & Pete. It needs one more season. It was supposed to come out in '06, but was cancelled at the last minute.

Also King of the Hill.

Highway To Heaven

Just FYI: The folks at A&E are re-releasing S1, S2 and S3 of Highway to Heaven (in thinner packaging than was used with the original 2004-2006 releases, but otherwise 100% the same content).  I asked if this means the unreleased seasons would come out.  The answer was "No"; there are no plans to make the rest on DVD.

No, they didn't give me a reason.

As for the original question James posed, I would agree that Green Acres is asked about VERY often.  WKRP gets asked about quite a bit.  Murphy Brown.  Jem and the Holograms.  Knots Landing.  CHiPs.  Peyton Place.  Diff'rent Strokes.

Two names that I can't bring myself to include on this list: you might be surprised about how few people seem ask about King of the Hill and Superboy.  In my experience, the same small-ish group of people ask for those again and again, and ask for them rather insistently.  But it's not widespread, as far as I can tell.

Hart to Hart

NYPD Blue

HART TO HART

My most wanted is:

Hill St. Blues

Doug

My list is short: "Hill Street Blues" and "St. Elsewhere."

What?  No RAWHIDE on the list?  But I mention that one every single time there's a thread about stalled shows?  How can it not be at the top of the list? 

Gary "others might not care about it, but in all seriousness it really is at the top of my stalled list" O.

P.S.  My crystal ball is reminding me to keep my fingers crossed because this one might be moved off the "stalled" list by this summer.

I sure hope your crystal ball's working ;).  A summer roundup sounds great.

If I had to choose only one stalled series, it would be either this one or Big Valley.
 

Glad to read two of my personal most wanted, Knots Landing and Peyton Place, are among those most asked about. Mentioning the other titles in my signature would be redundant but here are a couple more shows I would like to see further releases of: The Practice, Life Goes On, Who's the Boss?, Diff'rent Strokes.

If I didn't have The Big Valley via Encore Westerns from a few years ago the choice would definitely be tougher for me as well, Jeff.  But since I do Rawhide tops the list for me.  Having said that, there are some other mentioned here that I'd like to see get started up again.  Barnaby Jones and one more season of Chips would merit my attention.  Having said that, I'd add Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Quincy, Mr. Peepers, The Untouchables, etc. to the very, very, very long list of stalled series.

Gary "if things are OK we should get an announcement for Perry Mason pretty soon - surely that one hasn't fallen off the annual schedule for CBS...?" O.

It is frightening that we are at February 6, 2011 and it does appear that releases in 2011 are really going to drop off from even last year. The news announcement have been few and far between. I just hope that Hawaii Five-O is completed this year and that would make my year. I like to see Adam-12 completed along with Charlie's Angels/SWAT.

I have been turing my focus on to completed series, like Mission Impossible, Brady Bunch, etc. I will look at these shows when my budget dollars become available. I will also look at WB on demand for cartoons when they become available on my supplier site.

The Muppet Show is another disconcerting case. What the hell, Disney? What the hell?

And unlike the others, Season 4 of TMS was announced for a 2010 release. Even no news is better than this cruel tease.

There's one show that's been a one and done for over 4 years now that I'm hearing is about to come off the stalled list. Unfortunately, my sources have sworn me to secrecy so I can't say. But now that a certain company has finally agreed to license its shows out and another company has been shouting above the rest, you will be getting cleaned up after soon.

As most mentioned, it does appear like Hill Street Blue's is close to the top and one I would like to see finished as well. One can only hope that with all these inexpensive two season packages they've been pushing for a while to move stock, that it might actual prompt later releases. While it may have taken a few years to do it, that's potentially a lot of season 1 and 2's that finally made it out there to people that might just be willing to purchase more if available. One can at least hope.

Like you Gary, I'm comfortable with what I have with Big Valley, and I can't see Rawhide staying away forever (although it is hard to say how many season we will get, but then there is Encore again). I'd like to see Untouchables get finished and I would think with only one season to go it will eventually. Now Petticoat Junction is another story, I can see it possibly never coming back. But you would think they would want to get to the color episodes that most are familiar with. Maybe that will be enough incentive for someone else to give it a try.

One that I doubt is highly requested that I would really like to see get another chance is Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. It was completely new to me when I picked up season 1 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Season 2 has been an "almost" release a few times but just hasn't gotten out the door. And while there are a few "best of" sets, it is not the same when he is only in a town for a few episodes before moving on.

I can't speak for "most-requested", but I know I'm still bummed that Dream On and Whose Line Is It Anyway (UK) never got past their initial Seasons 1-2 releases. Oh, and for a UK-only show, thought it totally sucked that Universal only released Season Four of Armstrong and Miller. Yes, you heard right: they started with the final (and many fans feel, the weakest) of the four seasons of that show. Add to that their initial really high price for the set, and that has so far made sure that no others have come out.

I think it's more a hint as to what show he means-think show about a maid

When you say "getting cleaned up" do you mean taken to the bank by all the releases? That there will be so many unstalled releases that they will be as bountiful  as the rain.

I can't say WKRP because of the butcher job on the first season.

If it's Hazel, I'd note that Sony has not dragged its feet on licensing titles in the past, which is the implication of the other part of the hidden announcement.   CBS/Paramount and Warner are the two who fall into that category.

A while back on the Shout! forums, I pointed out many similarities between "Dennis the Menace" and "Hazel" -- both based on single-panel comic strips, both owned now by Sony, both the top-rated new sitcoms of their seasons, etc.  (And I can now add they've both returned on the new channel "Antenna TV.")

I pointed out that to continue the similarities, it would be nice if Shout! could license them from Sony.

Brian Ward responded with, "I think you're onto something there ..."

It wasn't very long after that that Shout! announced "Dennis the Menace - Season 1."

As for "Hazel," we're now getting that tantalizing reference in this thread.

I wouldn't be surprised if 2011 brings us an announcement of "Hazel - Season 2" from Shout!

Both of mine are one-and-done:

Night Gallery

Amazing Stories

Plus I wish the two Wild Wild West television movies (The Wild Wild West Revisited and More Wild Wild West) would be released separetely from the Complete Series release for those of us who faitfully purchased the season sets as they were released.

I was hoping for Who's The Boss, but Hazel makes more sense.
