[Joseph Bolus]

I need the following:

Star Trek Animateds
Columbo
Magnum PI (Why isn't this out yet??)
The Rockford Files
Maverick (Just the James Garner years.)

 

[John Mansor]

Does anyone think there is any chance we could see Dobie Gillis? I also would love to see Northern Exposure.

 

[Jim-M]

So my boys could enjoy them as much as I did:

Leave It To Beaver
Daniel Boone

 

[Steve Sung]

I would add:

Combat

It's been available in Japan for sometime.

 

[Chuck L]

Someone posted in the forum on KnotsLanding.net that the series was set for release in Germany this forthcoming year...if this is so, why of all places Germany?

 

[Joey Gunz]

1) The Colgate Comedy Hour (particularly the shows hosted by Martin & Lewis and Abbott & Costello)

2) Northern Exposure

3) Leave it to Beaver

4) The Kids from C.A.P.E.R. - This was a short-lived childrens show that ran on Saturday morning in the late 1970's. It was sort of like "The Monkees".

5) The Brady Bunch

6) Freaky Links

7) The Lone Gunmen - Ok, its too new to be a classic. But it was damn funny and I want it.

 

[todd s]

Chuck,

Knot's Landing is my wife's favorite show. And would be the only show she would want on dvd. I hope we get it here in the States.

I second the DRAGNET series...really both the early ones and the later color ones.
Also, I would add:
SEA HUNT
HIGHWAY PATROL
SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE
THRILLER
