Still waiting to finish 'Charlie's Angels' - just one more season to go. Also would like to see the remaining two seasons of 'The Bob Newhart Show'.

I have S1-S3 of Charlie's Angels and would love to complete this series. I have held off on S4, because that is time when Kate Jackson left and Shelley Hack joined. However, i may picked it up in the new year or maybe january if there is sale on for this season.

 

On a side note: i remember the Charlie's Angel trading cards. I remember the puzzle on the back when i was younger. I had a crush on Jacklyn Smith. I still love brunnettes today. My significant other is a brunnette, lol

CBS/Paramount releasing seasons 1 and 2 of The Lucy Show in a one-year interval. (They were much quicker with I Love Lucy - four seasons in a year! and with lesser-known shows such as Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. - two seasons per year.).

You make valid points around some of releases. I remember shows like Mork & Mindy, Happy Days and Laverne and shirley. However, i am not very interested in those shows on dvd, because that is not where my interest lies. I am more into sci-fi, mystery, crime drama and a few sitcoms. I much prefer to see shows like the following released

 

1. Logan's Run

 

2. SWAT (S2)

 

3. Three's a Crowd

 

4. Ropers

 

5. The Hogan Family

 

6. Family Ties (the last few seasons)

 

7. Get a Life!

 

8. Mod Squad

 

9. Harry O

 

10. Sierra

 

 

I am not a big supporter of MOD and prefer to use amazon. However, that is my preference.

[COLOR= black]Lack of Blu-ray releases for Burn Notice: Season Three and Flashpoint: The Complete Second Season, NBC/Universal's continued DVD mistreatment of Friday Night Lights, and I was really hoping for Danger Bay and the Jeff Goldblum TV adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow would finally make it on the schedule, maybe we'll see both in 2011. I've been pushing rather hard for the former and did get two independents interested; one of them even passed the suggestion on for the latter. I just today fired off an e-mail to ALN who recently acquired "The Beachcombers", which I know many are clamoring for; to return “Danger Bay” back on American television after a two decade absence, so to further drum up an audience for a DVD release.[/COLOR]

 

[COLOR= black]On the upside, what I wanted to see most in 2010 got a release: MacGyver: The TV Movies. I'm set for the rest of the year, if nothing else.[/COLOR]

One Step Beyond. This gem stalled, too, after one season?

 

[Ethan Riley]

I don't consider this to be a "disappointing" year by any means, simply because of the fact that the studios are beginning to get smart enough to release stuff either in complete series boxes from the get-go "Ally McBeal" and "Six Million Dollar Man," or by releasing stuff exclusively online. Either way, it seems to be working out, and more and more titles are being announced...stuff that probably never would have seen the light of day at Walmart.

 

However, Paramount continues to disappoint, over and over again. They managed to trickle out all of 90210 finally, but where's the rest of Melrose Place and Dynasty? And the Love Boat and Happy Days and god knows what else? We should have had all this stuff completed on dvd years ago, yet Paramount doesn't seem to think we mind waiting 2 or 3 years between seasons. I'm losing interest, and hopefully they'll join the online exclusive bandwagon (THANK YOU, WARNER BROS!!!) and get this stuff into our hands where it belongs!!!

And might I add that I say all this from a collector's standpoint. Collectors DO NOT WANT digital downloads. This is not about the many ways of tv show distribution these days; this is about physical media! We do not want to view these shows on demand or online. We want them on dvd, where we can store them on a shelf and play them whenever we want, or just let them sit there and collect dust. That's what collectors do...!

Well, I can't speak for all collectors of course, but I do agree with you 100% on wanting the physical DVDs. I don't want demand or shows online either. For me, it's somewhat akin to reading a book online. Yes, I can do it, but it's not the same thing as having the physical book in the hand.

Ethan, "Bravo"....you've said what many feel about this issue. If the day comes where I have to buy a set top "box" to stream, download, etc, I'll look at the specifics of the issue at that time. I'll be interested in "protection" aspects, as in, can the private renter or buyer make a copy of the content for their own library. Without that option, I'm not interested in seeing this format progress anytime soon.

 

I hope it's a ways off before we see widespread adoption of those formats. I do know that, if this format is dependent on high speed 'net access, there's a lot of people that don't have access to that. I'm fortunate to have very good 'net speeds but many are still waiting for that service in their area.
