TV Show's you STILL!!!!!!! Can't get on DVD

[yoda313]

I've also wondered about shows like "Amen" and "222"

Actually its 227

And yes it is now on dvd:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=br_ss_hs/002-9469076-0039224?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dd...d&keywords=227

Its also on TVLAND weekdays at 12 or 1230 I think.

I don't know about AMEN though. That was a cute show.

[Conquest10]

Amen still airs on TVONE. Great show. I watched that way before I knew of the Jeffersons.

[Noahtuck]

Kolchak, The night Stalker. I have the two telemovie pilots, but the series still hasn't been released.

It has been released in the US.

Yep, i have both the original series & the remake series on dvd!!
I wish the remake would have lasted longer before getting cancelled!!

[Noahtuck]

The copyright owners either want too much for the rights (your basic TV movie costs $10,000 AU$ upwards for DVD rights), there are copyright issues with the content (often the soundtrack)

yep, is'nt that why they never released or were having problems with WKRP in cincinatti ?

Also, i'd have to go look to make sure, but after season 1 or 2 of "Married With Children" they took off the opening song sung by frank sinatra and replaced it with some crappy ass musical composition sounds like total shite!!!!!!!! I was so pissed off when i heard that watching the dvd's!!!
You know they did it to keep from paying out any royalties and putting more $$$ into their own pockets!!
That opening song with him singing is as classic as the show itself!!
I know quite a few people that watched that show all the time and had no clue it was him singing it

They would have been better off leaving out the music instead of the crap they chose. I didn't get to watch the new Night Stalker because it was cancelled before I knew it was on. I'm still waiting for Batman and the Addams Family to come out.

Thanks for the correction...I knew it was 22-something

[vhelp]

How about, Family. ( remember Kristy McNichols, as "Buddy" ? )
Probably had the longest crush on her, growing up.

Our family used to watch it a looooooong time ago.

Yep, they sure screwed it up with that crappy synthashit they put on it!!

And they came out with the new nightstalker on dvd about maybe a month ago ?
There are acouple of episodes i don't think they actually aired, at least i missed them
But it was definately looking like it was going in a cool direction and it would have been nice to see it run longer

[Doramius]

There was a mini-series called 'The Secret World of OG' and it's rare on VHS, let alone not released on DVD. It was by Hanna-Barbara of Australia, but was a Canadian author storybook and was primarily aired in US & Canada. Great show though. Maybe someday it'llbe available on DVD.

[BJ_M]

lots of people want that one -- http://www.kempa.com/blog/archives/000132.html

[Doramius]

I figured you'd chime in on that one BJ_M. Isn't that book a major literary work in Canada these days? I met the author in Toronto Years ago. Pierre somthing? I have an autographed copy of the book somewhere at my parent's house. It was his only childrens' story he ever wrote, and the names of the characters came from his kids. Very good book and show.

BTW - I've been a member of that MSN group for 4 years now.

[BJ_M]

first time i heard of it actually - but seems to have a big cult following

[Doramius]

Check it out sometime if you can. I managed to get a copy and converted it to DVD The book is really good, too. I recommend both. I mention about it being a major Canadian literary work because some friends from back east teach at various schools around Ontario and it seems to be a popular book in childrens' reading classes. Maybe it's a newer preferred literary work. :/

My favorite TV show that has yet to make it to "legal" DVDs is "The Millionaire," the 1955-1960 series (206 episodes) as opposed to the gnarly 1978 series remake debacle.

Even now, a tax-free check for $1,000,000 - properly invested - could last most people a lifetime. But imagine receiving one in 1960.

I see an occasional offer of 4 DVDs (4 episodes each) on eBay ... but no one offering the complete series. FWIW, I sent an email to procopy.com to see if they have it on tap.

[Dv8ted2]

I would like for Webster(Emmanuel Lewis) to be on dvd, also Mr. Belvedere to be on dvd, and Head of the Class on dvd.

[Doramius]

Webster was a good show. I always wanted a secret passage clock of my own.

[Conquest10]

Tiny Toons. Even the movie How I Spent My Summer Vacation is not on DVD.

[Doramius]

What about Silver Spoons and Growing Pains. Are they on DVD yet? Heck, what about Family Ties?

[3Simon7]

Hawaii Five-O
Gomer Pyle

Both of these are supposed to be released on DVD this year!

[sitlet]
