List of Classic TV Series Near Completion

For those interested, I have compiled a list of series that are near completion- those with only 1 or 2 seasons left to be completed.  Most of these are so-called 'stalled' shows, where it has been a while since the last release.

**This list is for all series from 50s - 90s**

Thanks for the info guys, I have updated the list with the new additions.

WOW?!

That is truly pathetic!

I was actually wondering when some studio was going to do this, I didn't know someone already had?!  I was not aware other studios (aside from Paramount) actually put out these crappy volume releases where they split a season into two.  I think this ranks at the top- abandoning a show half way through a release- I wonder why they decided not to release the 2nd half of the season?!  Another series that is in the same category is Bonanza- Paramount released S2, V1 last December and have yet to release volume 2?!  In my view the only justification for splitting a season in two is for the older series that tend to have more episodes per season, I think Paramount just does it to get more money from the consumer?!

I know this has already been released in its entirety by Anchor Bay as well as a complete series set from Mill Creek but I thought I would throw it in (as well as 21 Jump Street) since they appear to be continuing with the season set releases.  To be honest, I am not sure why Mill Creek even bothered with the season sets since their complete series sets are quite cheap so I would think those interested would just take the plunge and buy the complete series?!

Regarding the releases from the indie studios, do you know if these companies still have the rights to these series?!  Naked City appears to be out of print from what I found online, which is why I did not include it.

If anyone else comes up with others, just post the info and I will update the table.  I cannot believe how many series there are that are close to being completed and are now stalled?!  I hope this list will eventually start getting smaller, meaning these final releases start coming out.

Updated list,

ER has been removed as the final season will be released on July 12.

Also, Melrose Place Season 6, volume 2 will be released on July 19, that leaves one season still to be released.  I guess that means it will join the others on the stalled list as Paramount likes to stall shows just as they are about to be completed.

It is currently listed on Amazon.ca with a July release date, however the listing is wrong as Universal has pushed back the release into the latter part of the year.  Here is the update from TVShowsonDVD.com: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Murder-Wrote-tv-movies-coming/15431

Updated list,

Everwood has been removed as the final season was released on Aug. 2

Spin City Season 5 will be released on Aug. 16, this leaves one season left to be released.

Also, no official confirmation yet but it appears that the final two seasons of The Bob Newhart Show will FINALLY be released soon!

My list is only for North America, not Global.  I was not aware that this site discusses releases for other regions, I thought it was only for North America?!

No it still has not been released, I would have thought that this would have been completed by now since The Rockford Files was a very popular series?!  I don't understand why they split the movies into two collections- there are only 8 of them so what was the point of splitting them into two?!

Updated list,

Hawaii Five-O Season 11 was released on September 20, this leaves one season still to be released (S12 will most likely be released in 2012)

The Bionic Woman Season 3 will be released on October 4 (I forgot to include this show on my list, however this is the final season so this series will now be complete)
