"Route 66" (1960-1964) I was turned on to this show from Nick at Night. The writing on this show was classic.

"In Search of..." (1976-1982) That creepy intro music and the bigfoot episode messed me up as a kid.

"The Lazarus Man" (1996) Western...one season...will never make it.

I dropped $80 for the set, but its every season so it was worth it(to me atleast).


I'd buy the retail set if it wasn't to butchered.

There's no such thing as "legal bootlegs." Buying bootlegs is supporting piracy, and you're putting money in the pockets of people that don't deserve any of the money.

Action, starring Jay Mohr, will never make it to DVD because it's too good.

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree. What if the studio is working on the release right now, but they have to jump through the legal hoops to license the music and do the release properly, and that's what is holding up the release? The jackass that burns these pirated sets is breaking multiple laws creating these sets, and his only obstacle is the speed of his DVD burner. He has NO legal right to create those DVDs. The people that own the show, worked on the show, and licensed music to the show aren't being paid. The bootlegger isn't preserving anything, he's making money off something he has no legal right to make money from.

You seem to think the studio owes you something, and if they don't release it then you'll support the people that do. That's a pretty poor attitude.

By the sounds of the DVDTalk Radio interview with Bruce Campbell, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. doesn't seem to have a very bright future. :(

I'm sure the same is true for Jack of All Trades as well.

Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback ... NOT!!!!

HBO will definitely release it though ... Hopefully the price tag will be high enough that anyone even remotely thinking of getting it, won't.

Match Game PM, 75, 76, 77.

Here's hoping for some kind of 'Best Of'.

Everyone that worked on the show was paid via advertising and syndication fees. The delays now are caused by deciding on how to divy up the dvd sales pie.

10 pages of this thread and nobody has mentioned The Man From Atlantis! :eek:

I'd kill for that, Quark, Otherworld, VR.5, It's Your Move, The Fantastic Journey, Salvage I, Paper Chase, Brothers, Dungeons & Dragons (don't give up hope yet on that one!), Logan's Run, Batman '66, Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home, The Tick, Jake 2.0, The Ropers, Three's A Crowd, Hermans Head, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, and In Search Of...

I'd also want WKRP and Wonder Years, but yep...I've given up hope on those for music rights. Same for Ally McBeal, which I'm shocked that noone mentioned.


After being given false hope from Paramount, Family Ties disappeared into a black hole, and I don't know what the status is. Same for Bosom Buddies. In a report at Sitcoms Online, Erin Gray's manager states that Sony has stopped work on Silver Spoons for some reason; it won't make it to DVD for the time being. Noone mentioned Voltron, but it's also in a black hole right now, presumably waiting to tie in with the new live-action film being made for a couple of years from now.


Consumers got some single-disc best-of's for Kotter and for Maverick...it's a start. Show some support and Warner may do better.

By now I take it that everyone knows we're getting DVDs for American Gothic, Get Smart, I Dream of Jeannie, Fantasy Island, Growing Pains, Gunsmoke, Point Pleasant, Ned & Stacey, Profit, Space: Above & Beyond, Wild Palms, Beavis & Butthead (with some music videos!), Wings, Nowhere Man, Hart To Hart, Rockford Files, Dark Shadows Revival, SeaQuest DSV, and The Office (US version). If you haven't heard the news about these shows, then <a href="http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsbyshow.cfm" target="tsod">click here</a> and use the appropriate look-up function to find that news.


dougb222: check TVShowsOnDVD's front page news early next week, it will please you. :D

how about the real HOLLYWOOD SQUARES with Paul Lynde?

G vs. E.

Which sucks hardcore - because I loved that show (but never recorded it). :(

onebyone 10-08-05 07:49 PM

I am beginning to think Cold Case is never going to be released due to music issues. At least, they are saying music issues are preventing it from coming out now, which sucks. It is a new enough show that they should have taken care of that from the start.
