Since sitcoms seem to be the most popular genre for DVD releases (I prefer dramas myself), I thought it might be interesting to take a look at what popular sitcoms (those that ran at least 2 full seasons or more) have not seen a decent release on DVD. I don't count a few episodes on crappy PD releases nor Warner's "Fan Favorites" as decent. I also left out shows that were done predominantly live, such as Mama, which ran for years but only had the final 26 filmed. The list is from the 50s thru the 80s. Beyond that, I'll let someone else with better knowledge of the last 20 years take over. Here we go, broken down by ownership, to the best of my knowledge:

Sony: Burns and Allen, Farmer's Daughter, Dennis the Menace, Pete and Gladys, Temperatures Rising, Carter Country
Fox: Life of Riley, Ann Sothern Show, Private Secretary, Dobie Gillis, Ghost and Mrs, Muir, Nanny and the Professor, Arnie, Phyllis, The Tony Randall Show, 9 to 5, The Wonder Years
Warner: Mayberry RFD, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Little People, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Private Benjamin, Love, Sidney, It's A Living, Valerie (Hogan Family), My Sister Sam, Chico and the Man, Alice, Head of the Class, Just the Ten of Us
CBS/Paramount: The People's Choice, To Rome with Love, Amos and Andy (which we'll never see in our lifetime), Our Miss Brooks, December Bride, How to Marry a Millionaire, Car 54 Where Are You, Webster, Duet, Dear John
ABC/Touchstone: Empty Nest
