I am waiting in vain for "Picket Fences" and "Boston Public" to come out on DVD. Can't have any thoughtful programs distributed en masse, though!

3. I know you're all going to laugh at me ...
But I'm still waiting for Falcon Crest! :P

I loved that show! It was (in my humble opinion) the best of the 80s prime time soaps because the acting was top notch and the writing was clever - they always had little inside jokes and the show had a wonderful ability to laugh at itself, which is something the other shows never did. Besides, Jane Wyman was a hoot! B-)

I want to see that on DVD. I would buy it and I know others that would too.

Just how timely would some of the subjects that they covered on that show be now? Very timely I think.

12. Most of my favorites have been released.
Out of all the ones I was clamoring for, I finally got The Lone Gunmen and NewsRadio is coming in a month. Arrested Development was also quick to come out to DVD, so no complaints now.

Right now, all that's left that I'm really clamoring for is Perfect Strangers. I love me some Larry Appleton and Balki Bartokmous hijinx.

20. I rarely feel safe enough to admit that I loved that show
But I did. I'm a huge sucker for physical comedy and they did some unbelievably funny physical bits on that show.

25. "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
My local Blockbuster is now carrying the second two seasons on DVD, but not the first. I saw all but two of those episodes. Not worth renting. HBO shows almost enough re-runs.

I want to see the first season, dammit!!! I missed it on HBO!

28. Yuppers!
I'm anxious to see if my husband likes this show. I think he's seen a bit of it and laughed, but I'm afraid he'll compare it to "Seinfeld" and let some of the humor go over his head. He's tough to please in this area sometimes.

35. Alright, please don't laugh at me...
I would love to see "The Brady Bunch" and "The Wonder Years" on DVD. I know it would be a lot of money to buy all the seasons but they are a couple of my all-time favorite shows. I was quite surprised and very excited when they released "Freaks and Geeks" last year.

Edited on Fri Apr-29-05 02:40 AM by Jamastiene
seeing "Dark Shadows" on DVD would kick ass. Also, "Andy Warhol's 15 Minutes", especially the episodes with Courtney Love and Deborah Harry and Chris Stein... Also, "Friday The Thirteenth - The Series". And "Captain Kangaroo" and most importantly, "Mr. Wizard's World". That one would be the ultimate.

They may have a problem securing all the music rights--that's the only reason I can think of why they haven't gotten off their asses and released this yet.

And because it was wacky and surreal, Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

Plus--a weird Canadian show called "Twitch City" than ran on Bravo briefly--bleeped & mangled. It was witty & TV-centric--would make a GREAT DVD!
