I'd like to see Batman, Green Hornet, Please Don't eat the Daisies, Ghost & Mrs. Muir, He & She and The Practice (with Danny Thomas). I'd like more of Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, Maude and Ironside.

 

[Richard V]

The High Chaparral
He & She
Love on a Rooftop
Cimarron Strip
Cade's County
NYPD
Hawk
Dan August
Then Came Bronson
The Green Hornet
Batman
Run for Your Life
The Immortal
T.H.E. Cat
Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law
Judd, for the Defense

 

[HenryDuBrow]

Paul, in these Janssen times it would indeed be good to see O'Hara get a DVD release, it really wasn't that bad a Universal show even if the budget and production values seemed smaller. I like it quite a bit and maybe now that Timeless and Shout have gone together it could happen, provided the material is in good enough shape and not harmed in that vault fire, etc. Along with other cool Uni titles like Hec Ramsey, Name of the Game and Owen Marshall.

[Peter M Fitzgerald]

Debuts:
1.) T.H.E. CAT
2.) CORONET BLUE
3.) BATMAN
4.) THE IMMORTAL
5.) THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
6.) JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN
7.) BLUE LIGHT
8.) NYPD
9.) HARRY O
10.) THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS
11.) LONGSTREET
12.) THE GREEN HORNET
13.) DIANA
14.) CAPTAIN NICE
Unstalled:
1.) WKRP IN CINCINNATI (done properly, starting with a re-do of season 1)
2.) SCTV (the rest of the Early Years and the final 'Cinemax' season)
3.) THE BOB NEWHART SHOW
4.) ZATOICHI (Japanese import, season 1 (of 4) was released years ago by Media Blasters)
5.) LUPIN THE THIRD (1970s anime series that Funimation dropped halfway through)
--anything else I'd have to sample through streaming or other methods.

From my original list above, we've since gotten Coronet Blue, Batman (on both DVD and Blu-ray), The Immortal, The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (on Warner Archives MOD DVD-R), Harry O (ditto), Longstreet, Captain Nice (severely edited episodes as a bonus feature on the German (Region 2 Pal) DVD release of Mr. Terrific), WKRP in Cincinnati, The Bob Newhart Show and Lupin the Third (picked-up and re-released/completed by Discotek).

Blue Light got a release as the cobbled-together-from-a-few-episodes "fake" TV-movie, I Deal in Danger, from Fox, pre-Di$ney. Better than nothing, I guess.

My updated list would be:

1.) T.H.E. Cat (1966-67) - CBS/Paramount
2.) Journey to the Unknown (1968-69) - Disney (via Fox)
3.) Blue Light (1966) - Disney (via Fox)
4.) N.Y.P.D. (1967-69) - CBS/Paramount
5.) The Man Who Never Was (1966-67) - Disney (via Fox)
6.) Hawk (1966) - Sony
7.) The Outsider (1968-69) - Universal
8.) The Green Hornet (1966-67) - Disney (via Fox)
9.) Diana (1973-74) - Warner Bros (via Talent Associates/HBO Video)
10.) The Greatest Show on Earth (1963-64) - CBS/Paramount
11.) Cliffhangers! (1979) - Universal
12.) Captain Nice (1967, a proper release in R1) - CBS/Paramount

 

[RBailey]

For me, I'd like T.H.E. CAT plus THE FELONY SQUAD from Fox (Disney). I was able to record most of FELONY when it was airing a few years back on the GetTV digital channel.

Small correction; Harry O was originally glass mastered (both seasons). Once the original run was sold out, it went to MOD.

THE SILENT FORCE

 

[Wiseguy]

Now that this thread is 10 years old, I'm curious as to how many of the above-mentioned series have since made it to disc... I'm particularly interested in where things currently stand regarding the following three series:
Project UFO, The Green Hornet, Doc

As many people know, ViaVision has released Seasons 5-8 of Ironside in a box sets (also Seasons 1-4, but I already had those). I bought mine through Amazon (saved a few bucks for under $100). Since they are "partners" with Universal I emailed them about the possible of acquiring Switch from Universal (also unreleased in USA.) I would suggest anyone wanting to see Switch would also email them about it from their website. Many a snowball can get rolling here.

For me, I'd like T.H.E. CAT plus THE FELONY SQUAD from Fox (Disney). I was able to record most of FELONY when it was airing a few years back on the GetTV digital channel.

I'd like one of The American Girls from Sony (that being a short-lived 1978 CBS action/adventure series that was from Bennett/Katleman and CPT). It might just be a one-disc go, but I'd still like to see it.

 

[Jack P]

With all the attention given to B/W shows on DVD, I feel compelled to note that for the classic era of color TV, which IMO spans from 1965 to 1979 (the cutoff year for a show's debut), there remains a great deal of stuff untapped for DVD that would be just as great to see.
So from this era, my biggest wants among stalled titles:
1-The Big Valley
2-The Bob Newart Show
3-Hart To Hart
4-The Love Boat
5-Barnaby Jones
6-McCloud
7-Ironside
8-Marcus Welby, MD
9-The Joey Bishop Show (a case where we need both color and B/W seasons released!)
10-Quincy, ME
We also have three titles that just need one more season to be finished. Charlie's Angels, Baa Baa Black Sheep and Hardy Boys.
For the unreleased
1-Operation Petticoat
2-CPO Sharkey
3-The Ghost And Mrs. Muir
4-Project UFO
5-The D.A.
6-Switch
7-Phyllis
8-Cliffhangers
And I know a lot more from this era I'd be willing to give the same blind buy treatment I'm giving many of the classic B/W shows too!

I'd forgotten about this thread. A decade later, I find that in Category #1, the stalled titles, I did see resolution with half of them ("Big Valley", "Bob Newhart Show", "Hart To Hart", "Barnaby Jones", "McCloud"). Two more titles were completed "Quincy" and "Joey Bishop" but in a sign of changing tastes on my part, I did NOT complete them. I only got Quincy S3 (at the time I wrote that it still had just one release) because I'd forgotten how increasingly unwatchable the show is as it goes on, and "Joey Bishop" I didn't get because they released the episodes in a compromised condition as I recall.

"Love Boat" got a couple more seasons released but had cut episodes and "Ironside" I had to rely on a boot set to complete. Never was anything further on "Marcus Welby." I think at the time I did this list, "Fantasy Island" had been unstalled by Shout! and I was expecting it to reach conclusion, but it alas stalled out again and I would have preferred seeing that finished to Bishop.

From the unreleased category, just one on that list "CPO Sharkey" made it.

Which is why I haven't gotten any of it-- I didn't want a show that's drifted so far into VSE territory (the VSEs, IMO, really were the bane of it, because the character didn't live up to his title when he did them).

VSE?
