I came across this show today, I liked it when it was on. It had 3 seasons, Veronica's Closet. It appears to have a Cult following.

Yes, both would be great to have but would require mastering as neither has ever been transferred to tape. Don't know what was used for the Bridget Loves Bernie release but tape elements existed from the run on HA! in the early 90s. I wouldn't mind getting a nice set of Occasional Wife as well since the HA! airings were sped up.

Yes, Occasional Wife would also be nice to see again. i have the MOD release of Bridgette Loves Bernie and the episodes are complete with excellent picture quality and sound . I didn't see much of that show during it's original run , but I'm enjoying it now !

Owned by Warner so at least there is some chance, depending on what the underlying rights are since it was based on a movie.
So there's a glimmer of hope there for Father Of The Bride , although there hasn't been much news lately from WBA.

Vallerie Mahaffey
Eve Gordon
David Hyde Pierce
Joseph Gordon Levitt

APPLE PIE

*I saw the two that aired on TV, plus three tapings that were not aired.
Mae Questal (voice of Betty Boop) was a guest in one of those episodes.

I would love to see Convoy (1965-66, 13 episodes), the one-hour war drama series starring John Gavin. Could have been the naval equivalent of 12 O'clock High (Air Force) and Combat! (Army), and from that same era. For some reason I remember watching it in Spanish here in Puerto Rico decades ago, when I was a child, and liking it a lot.

The Americans
The Gray Ghost ,
Casey Jones ,
Trackdown ,
Johnny Ringo
Hotel DiParee,
I'd love to buy complete runs of any of these shows .

The crystal ball shows that you may be very Happy soon!

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned these before...

Smith (2006) - Kind of the anti-procedural in some ways as it followed the lives and activities of a group of professional criminals. The show had a strong cast and I liked the skewed perspective the show brought to the crime genre.

Love Monkey (2006) - Another short lived CBS show from 2006. Really enjoyed Tom Cavanagh in his role on this show.

On The Air (1992) - Short lived comedy from Mark Frost and David Lynch.

- Walter.

MEN INTO SPACE (1959-1960), a 38 episode ZIV series with William Lundigan would be a good one. It currently airs on the COMET TV channel and the prints look to be in good shape.

I'd be in for TWO FACES WEST (Syndicated 1960-61) starring Charles Bateman as twin brothers Ben and Rick January, one a doctor, and the other a gunfighter. Originally from Screen Gems, it is owned by Sony, why I suggested this series to Get TV in an e-mail, but they haven't replied back!

Jack & Bobby!! I have a bootleg DVD, and there are some out there, because it's a true shame this has not been released officially.
