Wonder Years is the one that probably saddens me most. one of the greatest shows in the history of TV about the pains of adolescence - but far too many music rights issues to every get it released for less than $150 a season.

HistoryProf

I also don't understand why Crossing Jordan only had the first season released and then nothing else.

I think we need to change the name of the threads in order to add shows that we will never see a complete series release on DVD.
I'm disappointed that I might never see the rest of the following series:
Family Ties
Murphy Brown
Everwood

There may be others but I don't remember them right now.

tellybox

I highly doubt the Dynasty spinoff, The Colbys, will ever see the light of day.

On top of that, it's unlikely we'll see any of the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman spinoffs. Fernwood 2Nite anyone?

SterlingBen

Invisible Man season 2

Undeadcow

M.A.S.K. (80s action cartoon)
Wildcats: The Animated Series (OOP, but likely will never be re-printed)

I refuse to accept Dino-Riders will never see release...

Maybe not in Region 1, but it HAS already made it to DVD in many other parts of the globe:

Get yourself a region free player and relive the 80's goodness!

adrenaline78

I'm sure it's been mentioned.. but a few that i don't know why we would never see a release for.

Without a trace after season 2
Cold Case
Crossing Jordan after season 1

Apparently, I'm the only person who ever watched this show as no one ever mentions it in these threads:

"Guns of Paradise" starring Lee Horseley. Sadly, I doubt it will ever be released.

VR.5 (short-lived FOX series from 1995 starring Lori Singer)

One of my most-wanted!

And one of the forgotton gems from 1984, pre-dating the hit series with virtually the same name (and also with George Clooney):

E/R -
Chicago's Clark Street Hospital was the setting for this comedy about the staff and patients of the hospital's emergency room. Howard Sheinfeld (Elliott Gould) was the sarcastic, talkative doctor who oversaw most of the emergency room treatment. An ear-nose-and-throat specialist, he moonlighted at the hospital doing 48-hour shifts to help him keep up with alimony payments to two ex-wives.

Dr. Eve Sheridan (Marcia Strassman in the pilot than played by (Mary McDonnell), his no-nonsense boss at the hospital, wished he would take things a little more seriously and not work such long shifts. Harold Stickley (Jason Alexander) was the hospital administrator, George Clooney as Mark "Ace" Kolmar, the med tech, Joan Thor(Conchata Ferrell), was the head nurse and Lynne Moody as Nurse Julie Williams.

The series was based off of a popular stage production of the time. It featured the the hit "I've Got a Real Emergency, Here" (sung by Lou Rawls, written by Jimmy Webb) as its theme song.

Music Rights. There is so much Popular Music in this show it would probably cost $200.00 A SEASON if the Studios got their Royalties from it. Needless to say at this price only a handful could afford to buy it, certainly not enough for the Studio that produced it (Warner Bros) to make a profit.

Along that theme...Police Woman, S2 thru S4. Season one came out 4 years ago now...
McCloud Seasons 3 thru 7....over 5 years for this show. Something Shout! ought to look into.
McMillan and Wife 2 Thru 6 ( I guess S6 is just McMillan) It came out the same time as McCloud as well.
Just Shoot Me took forever(5 years) to get it's 3rd season released. Another 5 for season 4???
Newhart. Almost 3 years since season 1 came out.

Speaking of Bob Newhart... Somehow if they can't finish off the 2 most popular shows of his, what are the odds of Bob, or George & Leo seeing the light of day????

berigan

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but why is it some shows (Like Miami Vice) were able to work things out, while WKRP, and others ruin their shows taking the music out, or don't even bother releasing their shows??? Does it depend on which rightsholders are involved??? Miami Vice used the more affordable songs????

adrenaline78

CSI has a ton of music in each episode too.. I can't believe this would be the reason.

FantasticVSDoom

I completely forgot about this show... Wow, thanks for refreshing my memory on this one. Damn now I want this one as well!

berigan

What's really funny is I just saw the 3rd post on this thread back in 2005, and thought someone was being funny, now I realize this was real, different show from 1984!

Vlyger

Also want to add these two:

Brimstone (another short-lived FOX series from 1998 starring Peter Horton)

The Highwayman (yet another short-lived NBC series from 1987 starring Sam Jones)

At least Max Headroom finally came out last year.

comanche_doyle

I hold out hope for the continuation of:

Family Ties
Weird Science
Dharma and Greg

jrsl76

I'd like and have no hope for:

The Wonder Years
The Adventures of Pete & Pete S3
Dream On S3 - 6
