As you already well know if you’ve stepped into a DVD retailer recently, the “Television” section of such stores has been growing by leaps and bounds. To look at the sprawling rows of full-season sets, you might think that there couldn’t possibly be any TV series that hasn’t yet made it to DVD…but, dude, seriously, if you really think that, you’re a naïve fool. (Sorry, nothing personal.) While it’s one thing for a show to be cancelled after less than a season and then simply vanish into the mists of time – although more and more networks are trying to cut their losses by marketing “complete series” sets of such series – how about a show that lasted, say, 10 years? Anything that popular is surely available, right? Wrong, pally. Bullz-Eye has compiled a list of our top 15 shows that remain unavailable on DVD but ought to be, as well as a few additions that we’d like to see come out…even if we aren’t exactly holding our breath.
Check out the list here.
And, hey, what shows are you still waiting to see on DVD? Leave your comments below and let us know!
The Wonder Years and Ally have to top my list, along with the Michael Richards clips from Fridays. I can’t believe he has approval rights in his contract.
Tales of the Golden Monkey
An action adventure show set in the 30’s that was early 80’s TV’s answer to Indiana Jones. It had a great cast of characters and even included a one-eyed dog. And it had a Grumman Goose flying boat that the main character Jake Cutter flew them around in.
Also Misfits of Science
An awesome comedy show that also came out in the early 80’s that featured a young Courtney Cox and the late Dean Paul Martin son of Dean Martin. It was centered around a group of teenagers with exceptional powers sort of like a satire of the X-Men meets the X-Files.
I’m all about both those shows. I remember Stephen Collins, fresh from playing Decker in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” was the lead in “Monkey.” And I was so excited about the idea of “Misfits of Science,” but I remember being woefully disappointed with the special effects…which, even in the early ’80s, should’ve been better than THAT.
When are we going to see Newhart
i found a fan made FRIDAY’S 7 DVD set! on a webpage; classics2dvd.com
I’d love to see the Heights come out on DVD.
