Here's one that's almost guaranteed to never get a release anywhere in the world. It's a British series, but no one ever said this thread was limited to US shows:
From the BBC's Comedy Guide
Heil, Honey, I'm Home!: Situation Comedy. Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva live somewhere in 1930s American suburbia, next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein, and their dour niece, Ruth.
This most infamous of all British sitcoms attracted controversy out of all proportion to the number of people who saw it. Naturally, the hullabaloo was built on the shocking notion that anyone would mount a comedy about Hitler and the Jews - seemingly the definition of poor taste. In reality, the show was no more than a spoof - and not of 1930s Germany but of the kind of 1960s/1970s American sitcoms that would embrace any idea, no matter how stupid.
Eight episodes were produced but only one was shown.

First of all let me address the Dungeons and Dragons (80s Cartoon) that has been mentioned a few times. If you are lucky enough to live in England....or have a multi region player in the US and know someone across the pond, then you can already get the complete series of Dungeons and Dragons. I got it myself about 18 months ago from HMV. It comes on 4 DVDs and the box is really fantastic. The cartoon is as good as i remember. Check HMV.co.uk or Amazon.co.uk and you can check it out.
As for my list. I would love to see the following released on DVD....but i am sure it won't be any time soon:
In Bed with Medinner & Still In Bed With Medinner (Really funny late night comedy clip show with Bob Mills shown in the UK)
The Harry Enfield Show/Harry Enfield & Chums (Another UK comedy show that i loved).
Saturday/Friday Night Live (UK Version with classic cast including Rik Mayal, Ade Edmondson, Hughe Laurie, Stephen Fry, Ben Elton, Harry Enfield amongst many others.)
The Adventure Game (UK Sci-Fi gameshow with celebs as the contestants. Any show that has a talking plant whom you have to give a gift to is pretty cool. Plus the one on one game at the end against the Vortex where celebs would be atomized was always good for a laugh. You were safe if you had a spare sandwich in your pocket).
Police Squad
Spiderman and His Amazing Friends (I am hoping thta this gets released close to Spidey 3 next year).
Spiderman/X-men/Hulk et al from the 90's (I loved all these Marvel cartoon shows)
The Centurions (Another classic 80s cartoon.....POWER EXTREME)
Space Sentinels (I think this was either late 70s or early 80s cartoon. The one where there is a guy who is really strong, a guy who can run really fast and a woman who can change into different animals. They are based in a spaceship in a volcano as i remember with a robot with long arms as the comedy foil).
If anyone has any info on any of these i would love to hear about them.

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

I like how it says the complete ONLY Season.
I for one am glad. Looking forward to visiting Valerie again. Thought it was a good show, and rewarded those of us who stuck with it til the satisfying Series Finale.

I would be utterly shocked if the Nickelodeon versions of "Today's Special" were released on DVD.
I would be even more shocked if they released the uncut versions that originally aired on Canadian Television.

A few shows I would like didn't do so well -
Men behaving badly - the american verison
Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place
Can't be sure of the title - came out about 95 - maybury PD - chief of police couldn't make up his mind about anything - time for lunch, raise or lowe shades etc.
