Predictions for 2018 (1 Viewer)

[JamesSmith]

My guesses. First for Warner Brothers Archives:

A Man Called Shenandoah
The Rounders
Temple Houston
Adventures of Gulliver (HB)
Goldie Gold and Action Jack
Fangface
Suddenly Susan
Enos

Possibly from Kino/Wal Mart?
Trackdown
Hec Ramsey
Doctor Doolittle (Depatie Freling)

VEI
Evening Shade (complete series)
Promised Land
Project UFO
Jake 2.0
John Doe

Confirmed releases:
Mr. Novak
Blue Knight
Perfect Strangers (continuing on from season 2)


As per last year's guesses, I did get one out of twenty, that being The Magician. So keep that in mind when it comes to my predictions. We had about twenty-five to thirty unreleased series coming out this year; so I think it's premature to call TVDVD dead just yet. And I think it will be reasonable to assume we will be getting something from WB Archives, Kino, Shout, and VEI. Biggest surprises for 2017 were Coronet Blue and It's About Time, so I wouldn't any series out. Various series from WB Archives such as Alice, Jamie Foxx, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Living Single, What I Like About You, and the Wayun Brothers will continue on and be completed.

Other observations?

I'm long past the point trying to make predictions because of the diminishing returns but I'd sure like to know why Warner Archive still can't get the final season "The Eleventh Hour" out.

 

[Ron1973]

Being the eternal optimist, I'll point out CBS is still plugging away at The Beverly Hillbillies on their official page. Anything's better than nothing, I suppose, but can't we get the whole series out by now instead of piece by piece?

 

[rmw650]

I just want to see Empty Nest as a complete series DVD set come out for next year.

 

[GMBurns]

Decoy was a very pleasant surprise in 2017. In 2018 it would be nice if some small independent like FilmChest would give a few more classic b&w series like Decoy such nice care in a release. I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year.

I'm sorry about the diminishing returns, but we're just hoping for the best . . . and shooting for the stars. Hope your Eleventh Hour season 2 comes out.

Call me full of shit, but I see 77 sunset strip coming out within the year, as for anything else; we'll just have to see what happens

You mean 2017 or 2018? And I hope you get what you want?

[Regulus]

Two or three "Grail" shows, along with my two "Bucket List" shows Hot Wheels & Skyhawks.

 

[Darby67]

With ABC planning a remake (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/live-feed/get-christie-love-reboot-works-at-abc-1042966), I would love to see the 1974 single-season tv series Get Christie Love! (https://metv.com/lists/5-reasons-get-christie-love-was-the-coolest-show-of-the-1970s) get a complete series release from an outfit like Shout or VEI.

Police Woman: Season 4

I think that the final one (1977-78) of that NBC detective series w/Angie Dickinson will be out in 2018.

 

[shoeshineboy]

What? Not one olive branch for the Green Hornet? Let me cast the first hope that way...
Also:
Eischied
Judd for the Defence
Dirty Sally
Felony Squad
and Supertrain!
as well as another season of Zane Grey Theatre, Police Story and Beverly Hillbillies...

 

[Kyrsten Brad]

My 2018 Holy Grail List:

Jeannie (1973 Animated): Mark Hamill's recent rise in visibility (Star Wars, The Last Jedi) might complicate any possible release of Jeannie as getting his OK, if required would prove expensive. But that might cut both ways as Sony/Columbia could see a marketing opportunity to release this as a early work of Mark's if he approved. I'd say why not but I'm betting other issues at Columbia are holding Jeannie up.

Partridge Family 2200 AD (1973, Animated): Another HB toon now owned by Sony/Columbia Pictures Industries and another one in some sort of Columbia limbo.

Captain Nice (1967).

Mr. Terrific (1967).

Quark (1978): Available on DVD but would love a remastered Blu.

Ruff And Reddy (1950s, Complete series).

Forgot about Supertrain. A true classic

Colt .45
Temple Houston
A Man Called Shenandoah
Mister Roberts (TV Series)
National Velvet (TV Series)
Chicago Teddy Bears

I've never watched Chicago Teddy Bears, but I think it would be an immediate blind buy!

 

[Ian K McLachlan]

I would really like to see seasons 2 - 4 of The Defenders more than anything else. Other series I would love to see put out on DVD are - Fantastic Journey - one of the few SF series which hasn't been released.
My World and Welcome to It A fascinating series I have always wondered why it has not been released.
He and She Another interesting comedy series.
The Debbie Reynolds Show. One that I enjoyed watching at the time.
It's The Wolf The Hana Barbera cartoon series.
The Paul Lynde Show I have never seen it but Paul Lynde always makes me laugh.
Ben Casey One of the great drama series yet to be released.
Cowboy in Africa Most of the other Ivan Tors productions have been released.

All of these are sadly probably unlikely

 

[David Weicker]

Hoping for season 2 Of Paradise.

Followed quickly by season 3 (Guns Of Paradise).
