I don't think we'll ever see Fastlane on dvd. It had too much music integrated with the editing of the show, and it wasn't big enough to warrant all the money they would have to pay for the rights to all that music.

Another vote that Dark Shadows ala' Ben Cross won't get a release. At this point neither of the theatrical movies have found their way to DVD.

Also-

The Good Guys (Herb Edelman and Bob Denver)
The Immortal (Christopher George)

I would like to see the tv series "The Roaring 20s" (1960-62) & "My Sister Eileen" (1960-61) released on DVD, but I don't think it will ever happen.

I think we will see Fastlane come to DVD.

I don't think we will see UPN's complete series of The Running Man. Although I can see Picket Fences coming out before these two.

I can honestly say, although I would love to see it happen, we will never see Austin Stories appear on DVD. Or, say, Capitol Critters. Or Homeboys in Outer Space. Or Herman's Head. Or, sadly, Dinosaurs.

Music rights issues. I really *really* hope I'm wrong.

I could see Herman's Head on DVD... it lasted 3 seasons and the show does have its fans.

That one would be nice, but what would make it really nice is if had the following season. This show was left with a huge cliff hanger.

One I am not sure that will never come out is George Lopez. Although I am sure it is a matter of time.

I agree and it is a damn shame, particularly in the case of WKRP.

Double Trouble (starring Jean and Liz Sagal - twins from Grease 2, younger sisters of Katey Sagal, Peg from Married with Children)
Partners in Crime (starring Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson)
Pasadena (spooky show - I really liked it, but I liked Point Pleasant, too )
Jake 2.0 (I think I'm the only one who watched it)
Odyssey 5 (to spite me)

I would love to see several of those. I don't remember Maverick but everything else was great.
