The shows that should totally be on DVD (or, Studios are fucking bastards!)

[Mike McC]

The advent of the DVD brought about somthing magical and wonderful: Entire seasons and series of television shows archived and sold in a nice, compat format, free of commercial interruptions! And we all rejoice over such a brilliant innovation in marketing, because we love our TV. Love it like a family member, our favorite family member. But, what's this! Some of our favorite stories and jokes from our most favorite familial entity have gone missing! It is truly a travesty, and it must be righted!

So, yeah, come in here to bitch, whine, moan, and rant about how some of your favorite shows seem conspicuosly absent on the shelves at the local Best Buy.

Oh, you want my input too? Well, of course I am going to share it. God forbid I withhold my sparkling opinions which are most assuredly just and right from you, the masses of the internet. It would be a crime not to.

Night Court. Yes, I realize that the first season didn't sell so hot, Warner Home Video, but damnit, Warner Home Video, that's not the best season to gauge it's popularity with! Primarily because the cast was incomplete then! The cast everyone knows and loves didn't finish filling out until the third, fourth season! Come on, you know we want the real Night Court, so stop dicking us around!

Parker Lewis Can't Lose. There is no goddamned reason this shouldn't be oh so lovingly embraced by my DVD rack already.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe. I really enjoyed this while it was on. Shame on you, Fox, shame on you.

Also, as a special side note, WKRP in Cincinatti. Yes, I do realize that there probably isn't enough demand to offset the crazy liscensing fees, but it may very well be better to not release them than it is to severly edit and cripple them.


Oh, yes, I almost forgot. If you want to jolt your memory, as well as vote on the shows you most desire released, then aim your address bar at TV Shows on DVD (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/), and fire at will.

[Satan's Onion]

Freakazoid!
Duckman
Rocko's Modern Life

Just off the top of my head, those. Give me time and I'll think of some more.

[RickZarber]

1960s Batman with Adam West needs to use its lawyer-repellent bat-spray and get itself out of its copyright issues.

Also, agreed on Andy Richter. Remember the episode with Conan O’Brien? "There's going to be a wedding! Cover your genitalia and run!"

And I think we're supposed to get Freakazoid sometime this year!

EDIT: Yeah, TVshowsondvd is one of the regular sites I check daily. I even sent them a tip on a story once for which they credited me by name and I felt special! XD

[Lumenskir]

Duckman
Man, when I was in sixth grade I woke up early every morning to watch this show. I remember it simply as the funniest thing I had ever seen. I'd like to see this on DVD, if only to make sure I actually liked a funny show, or if it was just the, ya-know, effects that a bounty of big-breasted characters can have on a mind at that age.

[Kroze Gamegod]

Gargoyles Season 2 part 2 plz Disney...
Especially after how good the comic is doing. I need to complete the fucking season!

[Sky Warrior Bob]

Brimstone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimstone_(TV_series)). I'd also suggest The Invisible Man (http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Man-Season-One/dp/B0011FLH00/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1206440721&sr=8-3), but apparently season 1 is due out this month.

So yeah for that.

SWB
- I would've also mentioned the animated Sam & Max (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/snmanimated-dvd), but that's out now as well.

[Mike McC]

Nickelodeon needs to get off it's hump and release season 3 of The Adventures of Pete and Pete. Well, Paramount actually, they're the one handling the DVDs. And while they're at it, they should throw Salute Your Shorts on DVD too.

[Aerozord]

is it so much to ask for Megas XLR to be on DVD?

In fact while they are at it, I wouldn't mind Earthworm Jim either

[Mirai Gen]

Damn it where's my Earthworm Jim?

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

Freakazoid!

Dammit, you beat me to it! Yes, Aerozord! Yes! I completely forgot about Megas XLR, shame on me!

[Selfish Philanthropic]

I invested a great deal of thought into this last night, as I was feverishly attempting to go to sleep. Four words: Courage the Cowardly Dog. Easily the best cartoon series ever created.

[Mike McC]

Nah, greatest cartoon series ever goes to The Real Ghostbusters. Which we really need boxsets for at least the first two seasons, before they kiddyized it. That still covers 78 episodes (The second episode, which was a package sold directly into syndication, contains 65 episodes). Might as well throw Extreme Ghostbusters in there, too.

There is hope there, some movement and creation of new Ghostbusters media (most notably a video game) is coming around, and they might pimp these out as means of making more scratch off the revival.

[Satan's Onion]

What about Aaahh! Real Monsters and The Angry Beavers? I'd like to see those released (if they haven't been already. But I have a suspicion they haven't).

[Blues]

Definately Freakazoid.

Also, Exosquad. Reboot needs to be reprinted as well.

Seems like I'm missing a few shows. Was the old Battletech cartoon any good? I usually missed it so I can't remember.

[Fifthfiend]

Courage the Cowardly Dog suffered from a lot of Garfield syndrome, IE it would have been really funny if Courage would have ever just shut the fuck up.

[Doc ock rokc]

Damn it where's my Earthworm Jim?
I Support!
that and Tick season 2

[The Wandering God]

Tick season 2
That's already out.

Also, my friends keep saying Sifl and Olly, so I'll throw that out there.

The Wandering God

[Mike McC]

I think he meant Season 3, which has not been released.

[RickZarber]

And the Tick Season 3 set better have those two missing episodes from seasons 1 and 2.

[Masked Jedi]

Courage the Cowardly Dog suffered from a lot of Garfield syndrome, IE it would have been really funny if Courage would have ever just shut the fuck up.

I was just wacthing an episode, and the first thought I had after "COURAGE! YES!" was "Ya know, this'd be a lot better if he only did the barking thing and didn't actually talk."

Still, I want it on DVD. Freakazoid has been mentioned, so I don't need to remention it (even though I just did). Also, SNL needs more complete season collections. Kids Next Door needs them too (I don't think it has any).

Finally, I really, really, REALLY want to watch Spaced, so that needs DVD.

[Demetrius]

Alf
The A Team
Night Rider
Quantum Leap

If any of those are on DVD, I would really like to know.

[Mike McC]

Alf (http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=Alf&), The A Team (http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=The%20A%20Team&), Knight Rider (http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=Knight%20Rider&), and Quantum Leap (http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=Quantum%20Leap&) are not only out on DVD, but all the seasons have been released on DVD. Really, it's not that hard to search Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) or Deep Discount (http://www.deepdiscount.com/), or a multitude of other sites, to see if a show is out.

[Lumenskir]

Now that I think about it, why isn't Top Chef on DVD? I'm sure more people are more likely to recreate the dishes in the show than, say, make a dress (http://www.amazon.com/Project-Runway-Complete-First-Season/dp/B000ATQYSS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1206979895&sr=1-6).

I was just watching an episode, and the first thought I had after "COURAGE! YES!" was "Ya know, this'd be a lot better if he only did the barking thing and didn't actually talk."
This is certainly a legitimate complaint. Can you think of any specific examples, though? I don't remember a single episode that hinged on Courage's dialogue for a punchline/plot movement. If you're referring to his random comments, such as "These things shouldn't happen to a dog," then, yeah, they were somewhat unnecessary.
