List of short-lived/canceled series on DVD ? (1 Viewer)

[MikeAB]

2 of my favorites that haven't been mentioned are the Clerks animated series (6 episodes) and the 2003 MTV Spider-man (13 episodes). I haven't heard anything about bringing back spider-man, but I would love to see it again after the next movie.

I want THE EDGE the 92 short lived sketch show with Wayne Knight & Jennifer Aniston. I mean come on if they can release other short lived Fox shows like The Ben Stiller Show (another show I liked) & Greg The Bunny (never saw) they can release on of my favorites THE EDGE. If it comes I will certainly buy it.

I'd also buy and purchase the following:

Now and Again
Timecop
Time Trax
The Flash

 

[GuruAskew]

Tenacious D only lasted 3 episodes (some would say six but each 30 minute episode was comprised of two mini-eps), all of which are on the "Complete Masterworks" DVD.

 

[Ric Easton]

I said it before and I'll say it again...

I WANT MAX HEADROOM!

I'd also like to see Buffalo Bill. I think that was a season and a half.

Run Buddy Run
Double Life of Henry Phyfe
Hank

Another short lived series that I don't think I've seen mentioned in this thread yet is Sports Night, although I suppose that did have a satisfactory conclusion.

Also put me down for Andy Rickter Controls the Universe, a very funny show.

I also would like Down the Shore that ran on Fox for 2 seasons.

I agree with those that have said that it is unfair for someone to say our lives in terms of TV viewing started 6 years ago. How can I mention older shows that I've never seen, because they didn't last long enough to hit sindication? Newer short lived shows are fresher in our minds, because of the fact that they're newer.
Plus, a lot of the people that were around when these shows did originally aired have forgotten about them because of the passage of time, and so even among older viewers who might buy a title, one must get them to remember the show first, not everyone is a hard core collector that would remember those shows from long ago, which hurts the ease with which they could generate sales.

Of course, we've been down this road before...

I'd love to see Andy Richter, as well as two UPN shows I remember liking a lot, Platinum and Shasta McNasty... and the time, I liked both, although have heard nothing good from anyone else.:frowning:

Regarding Roy Rogers dvd ... Thanks for the tip, Tory! Didn't know about this. Nor did I ever know that Dale Evans had an unsold pilot show all to her own!

 

[Lynda-Marie]

One series that came out that I am glad I snagged as quickly I as could when I saw it was Kindred the Embraced. For all that it was an Aaron Spelling production, it was actually quite a good show on vampires. It helped that I was a big fan of the Vampire RPG at the time.

It only lasted 6 episodes. What a pity :frowning:

Michael_CPC,

I'd put down money for "Bette," so I have no right to criticize you for Shasta McNasty.

 

[Alan Lee UK]

How about "Mary" (13 episodes), or New York News (also 13, but 5 unaired). Fat chance, as we know that nobody buys MTM on DVD!

"Foley Square" is a series that I that enjoyed watching when it was shown on the BBC - I'm surprised to find out that there were only 14 episodes.

Rita Rudner did a sketch show for the BBC in 1990, of which there are only 6 episodes, which I'd like to have on DVD.

Edit: this should probably have been posted to the other thread (obscure TV product). Sorry.

 

[David_Blackwell]

Lynda-Marie, Kindred lasted for 8 episodes.

Shows I would love see it make it to DVD:
Jake 2.0 (4 unaired episodes)
C-16 (lasted fro 13 episodes, starred Eric Roberts, Angie Harmon, and D.B. Sweeny)
Michael Hayes (22 episodes, Columbia could cash in on Caruso's fame on CSI Miami)
EZ Streets (9 eppisodes)
Freakylinks
The Others (13 episodes)
Sleepwalkers (9 episodes- many people never saw 7 of the episodes while almost all (in North America because I have no clue if any Canadian station ever aired the last 2 episodes) never seen the last 2).

 

[Randy Gray]

I Married Dora (I think late '80's or early '90's)
Double Trouble (one or two seasons in the '80's)
THROB (another '80's series)

Millennium - One season released, 2 to go.

Half Nelson - Joe Pesci's series
