Cimarron Strip - great 90 minute western that only lasted one season but had some great plots and terrific guest stars, as well as one of the best themes of any TV show ever. Stuart Whitman owns the rights and he's sitting on them, unforunately.
Thriller-the Boris Karloff anthology, a few of them have been released on VHS but no word on a DVD.
Ellery Queen-also a one season wonder with Jim Hutton and lots of Murder She Wrote style guest stars.
Judd for the Defense-Carl Betz, Mr. Donna Reed, as a high powered Texas attorney, another one with a great theme song.
The Invaders-If Time Tunnel can make it to video, why can't this.
The FBI-one of the best police procedurals ever made.
Police Story-If they can release Police Woman, these are much, much better.
Harry O- David Janssen's followup to the Fugitive and and a very classy private eye eye series that was a good precursor to Rockford Files.
The Six Million Dollar Man/The Bionic Woman-There's got to be a tiein with the new series with these shows, hokey slo mo but lots of fun.
The Defenders-The cutting edge legal issues series ever made... bonus if they release the pilot movie with Steve McQueen (ironically, they used clips from the pilot sans McQueen in an episode of the Practice last season, since Ralph Bellamy and William Shatner played the roles E.G. Marshall and Robert Reed wound up with).

A "chat" with a rep gave the answer " our manufacturer have a right to produce our dvds" which is less than reassuring. Probably best avoided.

So you can have these, unless you're one of those die-hards who won't go multi-region or shop outside your own country...

Interesting to bring back up this thread and see what actually did come out of all the listed shows. The thread, basically, turned into a share-the-pain-of-an-unreleased-fav, but nonetheless..
I've read the whole thread, can't guarantee that I've pulled out everything that was actualy put on DVD, since most of the shows you all listed, hmm, how do I say it... are real crap and I'd be thankful if they DONT get a release. Heh.
So I've quoted only those I know about, like and/or was interested myself in.
That one did, for example.
Looks like this one is gona come out after all. Not sure if they're going to keep the music, though.
Would like to see Jake 2.0 also, but Odyssey 5 is already out in all regions.
I got all 4 seasons, they were released in Germany in nice digipacks for about 20-25 euros each.
Already released
All are out.
Have it since the end of last year. Available in Australia and UK on 6 DVDs, complete series.
All 3 seasons were released!
Oh, damn, yeah! I was thinking the exact same thing. One of the more terrible and painful issues. It's like a tease without payoff. But we TV show fans got used to far worst scenarios. Literally. Without ending, with a madenning cliffhanger, and all that crap. At least we got those 18...
Me too! Excellent show!
Besides that, I'd add those that are still, at the beginning of 2008, not out or even announced:
Now and Again
Strange World
Jeremiah Season 2
Robbery Homicide Division
Witchblade
Birds of Prey
Veritas: The Quest
and Tremors: The Series, goddamnit!

I believe season 1 was only 18 episodes, so that would have been only 24 episodes total, which is normal for TV on DVD sets. Season 2 was short, but had some really compelling stories and I really liked the addition of Vanessa Williams as a new Detective.

James Garner has often said this was his favorite TV show to perform on.

Re: Which TV series will NEVER make it to DVD?
I figured I'd give this thread a bump, as I really enjoyed reading through it.
What the heck is the deal with Valerie/The Hogan Family? I'm surprised they haven't tried to tie a release of this series around any of the recent Jason Bateman flicks.
Also, thanks to ukywyldcat for bringin this thread to my attention

I only wish more of the pictures were still viewable.

Re: Which TV series will NEVER make it to DVD?
Seeing as since the last time I posted in this thread (4 posts ago) Parker Lewis is now out on DVD, I'll add another to my list:
The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd
Seeing Blair Brown on Fringe and having the complete Ally McBeal in my hands (a spiritual successor) has got me thinking of this show again.
