LOL - I was coming here to post the same thing...just, uh, two months after you found it.

Guess I'd better book mark that tvshowsondvd.com website.....

At last, Lola Heatherton will be mine!

And what everyone's been waiting for...


Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman Season One in June.

 

[Ghostwind]

1. I'd really like to see the remaining seasons of Mad About You released. So far only the first two seasons are out.
2. The entire run of the 60's cartoon Herculoids.
3. Ditto for the original Space Ghost.
4. The original Captain Kangaroo.
5. Filmation's Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle and Flash Gordon. -- Hey, the same guy did the lead voice, so why not put them together in one package?
6. Dr. Who season by season collection.
7. Hopalong Cassidy - how many of you remember him??
8. Spenser for Hire - who didn't love this series?
9. Johnny Quest (the original) - was light years ahead of its time.
10. Hong Kong Phooie - 'nuff said...

I can't believe no one has said Miami Vice !

Surely I'm not the only one that grew up in the 80's wearing slacks and loafers with no socks!

(And whoever said Airwolf is right on!)

Johnny Quest Season One --- May 11 2004

I swear I remember something about Space Ghost, and it wasn't the Space Ghost Coast to Coast show, which is coming out (Season Two on DVD this fall sometime). Can't remember where I saw it, though.

From tvshowsondvd.com....

Michael Denzel from Universal Entertainment sent Miami-Vice.org a note through that site's owner, Randolph Beekman, explaining about the reasons why Miami Vice DVDs will not be forthcoming. Here are the pertinent portions of that note:


"We understand your want and need for the release of Miami Vice on DVD format. However, as we have been attempting to make this possible, it has become nearly impossible due to music clearance/royalties involved in satisfying the artists/musicians. This issue was a MAJOR contingency for the production of consumer DVD boxed sets from other popular shows as you may have noticed in your local retail stores right now. Although Miami Vice was very popular in the early to mid 1980s, there were MANY songs from various artists utilized in the production of the series as every one of you should know. Unfortunately, at this moment there are NO plans of releasing Miami Vice on DVD. We are very sorry...we have NO intention of releasing Miami Vice onto DVD at anytime in the near future."

Sad. I'm sure other shows are in the same boat, as he mentioned. This is the same thing that, as I understand it, kept the Heavy Metal movie out of circulation for such a long time.

Star Trek- The Original Series boxed set

Friday the 13th the Series

Friday the 13th the Series

That was a fun show. Cheesy, but fun. And what I like about the thought of buying it on DVD is that it didn't run forever. Sometimes I wonder why I even bothered to start buying "The Simpons" on DVD.

And as I browsed tvshowondvd.com, I realized that the only TV shows my wife and I buy (or will buy) on DVD all start with the letter "S":

South Park
Strangers With Candy
Sopranos
Sex in the City
Simpsons
SCTV

Gee, I can't wait for them to release the original 1960's SBatman! (Or at least the episodes with Julie Newmar. Meow!)

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Ren & Stimpy yet! I want to see the show released season by season, and unedited (unlike the really poor DVDs that TimeLife released a year or so ago).

Yippee, good news.

Warner Bros has announced Batman: The Animated Series Volume 1 for release on July 6th. This 4 disc set will contain roughly half the episodes from the first season of the series, as well as some exciting bonus material:

• Commentary on select episodes
• The Dark Knight's First Night - featurette
• Batman: The Legacy Continues - featurette
• Tour of the Batcave
• Trailers - Challenge of the Superfriends, Justice League: Star Crossed, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman

Suggested retail price is $44.98 US

Also, Land of the Lost disc one debuts sometime in the summer -- saw this in Previews. It seems to only have about 4 episodes on the disc, and no mention of a 'season one' boxed set.
