Most disappointing abandoned dvd series (1 Viewer)

I never realized just how many shows that I really love have been abandoned or stalled. It's a much bigger list than I would have thought. Here are my top 10+ most disappointing abandonments:

1) LEAVE IT TO BEAVER (no doubt this one hurts the most)
2) HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL (halfway finished, what happened?)
3) BIG VALLEY (cut off right in the middle of a season - ridiculous)
4) VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (1 Season short of finishing and they up and quit?!!!)
5) DANIEL BOONE (this one is stalled because of distribution problems - ughhh)
6) HAZEL
7) GREEN ACRES
8) PARTRIDGE FAMILY
9) THAT GIRL
10) QUINCY
11) MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW
12) BEVERLY HILLBILLIES
13) PETTICOAT JUNCTION
14) KOJAK
15) DISNEY TREASURES - SWAMP FOX & ELFAGO BACA
16) FLIPPER

And I could probably add "THE LONE RANGER" to the list because only one season was ever released (the 5th season) several years ago. But never any follow up. There are probably a few other 70's shows I could have added, but I've already listed far more than I expected when I started this reply. It's really shocking that there are so many abandoned shows out there.

Gary "crazy stuff when you think about it" O.

Back in December B Ward at Shout Factory said they haven't canceled That Girl.

Right. I was aware of that because I monitor Brian's posts at the Shout! boards. But since he couldn't give a definitive date I felt I could place it here. It may not be officially "abandoned", but it is definitely sitting in limbo. And those type releases should be included.

Gary "but thanks for the info" O.

Adventures Of Sinbad

For me, the biggest one will always be The Larry Sanders Show. Another heartbreaker is Leave It To Beaver.

Unquestionably for me it's THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW.

King of the Hill is the most crushing for me. I'd also have to say Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (if it has been abandoned for sure) and Malcolm in the Middle

Leave It To Beaver and King of the Hill for me.
Larry Sanders not far behind.

Highway to Heaven, Charlie's Angels and Touched by an Angel. :frowning:

Boomtown
Poltergeist: The Legacy

All In the Family
Once & Again
Adventures Of Pete & Pete
Clarissa Explains It All
Secret World Of Alex Mack
Boy Meets World
Malcolm In the Middle
8 Simple Rules
Adam-12

For me it's the Mary Tyler Moore Show, followed closely by the Bob Newhart Show (I would've included Barney Miller, but it looks like Sony is giving it another shot). I'm also really disappointed that there won't be future DVD releases of This Is Wonderland or Made in Canada, but at least I have both series on DVD-R.

Limbo should not be considered the same as "abandoned." Until Marlo Thomas complains that the show was abandoned by Shout Factory;
I wouldn't make it sound like fact that this series is dead at three.

They haven't completely given up on the series since they are floating the first DVD of the first boxset on May 6 as a solo release.

although if people want to beef up the sales, amazon has all three seasons for $22.99 each

Some more:

SWAT
Baretta
Ironside?
The Bill Cosby Show
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Dream On
Here Come the Brides
Family
Green Acres
Happy Days (pretty sure it's done)
Taxi
Joey Bishop Show
Naked City
Archie Bunker's Place
The Rookies

For me it's
MARY TYLER MOORE
NIGHT COURT
-and-
MAVERICK (Only a three episode "sampler" was ever released.)

MARY TYLER MOORE
THE BOB NEWHART SHOW
THE FLYING NUN
ALL IN THE FAMILY
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY

Cheyenne, another show been abandoned? Well there is no info on Season 2 coming out.

Hill Street Blues

Dragnet (1960s version)
Adam-12
Kojak
Leave it to Beaver

Dragnet (1960's)
Adam-12
SWAT(they couldn't finish it up?)
AND-if they truly are abandoned-The Rookies, and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.
