Key word being being realistic. I gleaned this list not from just arbitrary titles but titles that have been on numerous threads discussing positive liklihood of releases at some point. Some of the shows on this list I don't care for personally, but these are ones that quite a few have been discussing the past few years. Is 2015 finally the year for?

1) 77 Sunset Strip

2) Hawaiian Eye

3) Lawman

4) Ozzie and Harriet

5) Chico and The Man

6) The Dakotas

7) Midnight Caller

8) Enos

9) High Chapparal (USA)

10) Make Room For Daddy - Only sanctioned series sets

11) Peyton Place - Seasons 3+

Any Warner controlled title I think is always a realistic possibility since we can't tell how far along the music clearance issue is for a given title. Fox will need to do more than just the Daniel Boone thing to provide any further indications of what their release pattern is going to be to make a title of theirs "realistic".

I think if the rights issues get cleared up, I could see Warner releasing Chico and the Man in season sets.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but I could swear I saw a post on this forum saying that Warner Archives were either "working on" or "looking at" Enos. Unless there's some music-rights problem, I see no reason why they can't do this one in 2015. After all, if they're willing to do Flo, then there's really no reason not to expect Enos.

I asked them on Facebook either earlier this year or last year about Enos. They said it might be something they looked at in the future and to not count it out. They also mentioned they would be going back to the original elements to transfer it. I don't know if they're planning something beyond a MOD release but considering CMT has picked up The Dukes of Hazzard in hi-def now, perhaps they're planning on something similar with Enos?

If they're talking of going back to the original elements (i.e. 35mm film), then it could take awhile (or not get done at all, depending on the state of the films and limited appeal of the show).

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing reruns of the show on cable TV in the mid '80s or early '90s. If my memory isn't cheating, then there are probably NTSC tape copies of the episodes they could use if they're deemed 'good enough'.
