80s Sitcoms Completed on DVD

The Family Ties thread reminded me of this, what 80s sitcoms have we gotten the full runs of on DVD? Thinking about it I could think of many off the top of my head, so I'm thinking I'm missing some:

Cosby Show
Cheers
Gimme A Break (Canada)
Kate & Allie (Canada)
Family Ties (with the release of the final season in August)
Punky Brewster (including the animated series)
(editing to add some listed in the thread)
Alf
It's Gary Shandling's Show
Golden Girls
Roseanne
Married..with Children
Taxi
Three's Company
Square Pegs
Charles in Charge
Doogie Howser M.D.


Is that it? There's been a lot that have had a single season released, or maybe even two seasons, and some that are close to being complete (I think Night Court has only one season left).

So more than I thought. Which ones are we still waiting on?
Diff'rent Strokes
Webster
Facts of Life
Growing Pains
Silver Spoons

Those all had some releases but are not complete

(I won't get into shows that have no releases at all, but we'd like to see, like Just the Ten of Us)

Re: 80s Sitcoms Completed on DVD

Not sure if they count since only part of their run was in the 80s

Married With Children (started in 87)

Three's Company (ran until 84)


edit:

ALF (86-90)

Taxi (78-83)

The Golden Girls (85-92)

and more of a 90s show:

Roseanne (88 - 97)

Personally I don't count it as Seasons 4 & 5 were MOD only. I respect those who feel differently.

Doogie Howser, MD began in the 80's and all 4 Seasons of that were released.

The episode of "The Shoe Must Go On" of the animated It's Punky Brewster was not released.

Plus weren't there issues with the syndicated versions of that series being the ones used for the DVD?
