For whatever reason (music rights, exposure, etc) which TV shows would fit this category?

I would say Love Monkey because only the 1st three or four eps were shown on cbs then got yanked and the rest of the produced 8 episodes were shown on vh1. Plus, the music rights would be a pita. Also the dvd rights are owned by Sony.

I HOPE THE BRADY BRIDES COMES TO DVD, THERE WERE ONLY 10 EPISODES
SO I DOSEN'T LOOK TOO GOOD. I THOUGHT SINCE THE BRADY BUNCH DONE SO WELL THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER RELEASING THE BRADY BRIDES.
AFTER ALL TABITHA HAD ONLY 13 EPISODES & IT WAS RELEASED.
SO WHO KNOWS

I'd say the biggest one of all is The Wonder Years. The show had like 5 pieces of music per episode, so it's just about impossble to see the show on DVD with all the original music.

I think the Wonder Years COULD come to DVD with MOST of the original music if Fox would wake up and let Shout Factory handle this. Shout Factory! has said that they wanted to release this and have tried to license it but Fox wants to handle it on their own. Shout even said they would try to get as much of the original music as possible and could get it cheaper than Fox could (they are also a record company). Fox needs to take a lesson from the diaster it created with WKRP. I doubt even Shout would get ALL of the music for the Wonder Years, but I'd be much happier with say 80% of the original music than with say 20% if Fox released it. Wasn't it like 0-10% with WKRP? I'm not a fan of music replacement at all but with some shows it's inevitable. It just makes a difference when the releasing company puts forth a serious effort to get as much music as possible.

There are some fans who would not put up with any music replacement of any kind on this type of show.

What's the hold up with Batman (1966)? Doesn't it have something to do with who licences it? And with shows like The Wonder Years and WKRP the companies have to decide whether to release them cut up and w/ music replacements or not release them at all. Even though seaon 1 of WKRP was released I'm sure sales were low due to the boycott by most fans b/c of the edits/replacements.

There are also a TON of series that ran for like 13 episodes that we will probably never see on DVD unless they star someone famous.

THERE'S STILL A DISPUTE OVER THE RIGHTS WITH BATMAN (1966)
BUT THEY ARE TRY TO SETTLE IT.

Ironically, isn't the hold up with Batman due to the theme song rights? Anyway, here is my list of shows that I feel will never see the light of day:

Patty Duke
My Three Sons
Dobie Gillis
Love Sidney (probably not much demand for this one but I liked it quite a bit)
Newhart (due to Fox cancelling The Bob Newhart Show)
Rhoda (due to Fox cancelling The Mary Tyler Moore Show)

DC Comics and FOX have been trying to settle this for several years with no resolution in sight. I'm guessing that greed between the 2 has alot to do with it. :rolleyes:

I doubt very much that Amos 'N Andy will ever be released. A represenative from Columbia House told me several years ago that they were in talks with CBS about releasing it on VHS as part of their Collector's Edition packages but nothing became of it.

It's already been said that some music for The Wonder Years is absolutely unclearble, so if fans are gonna wzant to buy the DVD, they're going to have to put up with SOME music replacement.

i don't see these shows ever being on DVD

the real ghostbusters

I am glad ioffer.com exists. Now I have my 4 holy grails My 3 Sons, Car 54, where are you?, Patty Duke Show and Route 66. For the fun of it I got six million dollar man-bionic woman, Dennis The menace and Amazing Spider-man 70s tv show

Yeah, I doubt Car 54 will ever see the light of day. Some would argue that WKRP never HAS been released on DVD, due to the way the music permissions issue was botched....
