I'm so glad to here that Nero Wolfe is finally going to be released but it made me start thinking about the missing shows from my favorite two 80's seasons, 81-82 and 82-83. Quite a lot has actually come out from those two years but here's a list of ones missing from my collection to this point. Most of this stuff will surely never see the light of day, but here is my want list anyway:
81-82
Ongoing Shows:
Benson - Season 3 (Released but stalled. Twice!)
One Day At A Time - Season 7 (Released Season 1 but stalled...asked Shout about it, they said, No Plans)
Alice - Season 6 - (Stalled at Warner Archive for several years after Season 4)
Trapper John MD - Season 3 ( Fox - No Way, No Chance)
One Season "Wonders":
Todays FBI - Love to see this Conners show again
Strike Force - Ditto with this Stack 80's entry
McClain's Law - Been streaming for awhile on Warner's site, but no release for some reason
Enos - When will WA finally get off their butts and put out this much requested show? Don't recall much music in it holding it back.
The Two of Us - Peter Cook show I really loved. Haven't seen it since.
And My Two Grail Shows from that Season:
Best Of The West - Great one season show. Not sure on ownership.
Open All Night - I loved this series as a teen. Not many eps floating around in any form. Not sure who is charge of distribution.
82-83
Ongoing Shows:
ODAAT - Season 8 - See above
Alice - Season 7 - See Above
Benson - Season 4 - See Above
Trapper John - Season 4 - See Above
Fall Guy - Season 2 (Season 1 released years ago and stalled. Season 2 available overseas)
One Season "Wonders":
It Takes Two - Great Crenna/Astin show
Devlin Connection - Very Surprised there never has been interest in releasing a show starring Rock Hudson.
Bring Em Back Alive - Gold Monkey came out, not sure why no interest here. Was actually a really good show.
Chances on these folks?
