Happy Days 7-11
SNL
Marcus Selby, M.D.
Love, American Style

I never give up hope for anything but sometimes I do get tired of waiting.

Basically, I haven't given up on the below shows, I've just gotten tired of waiting and went in search of "homemade sets"...

Mr. Belvedere: seasons 5 & 6 (thanks MRPITT)
Small Wonder: seasons 3 & 4
Green Acres: seasons 4, 5, & 6
Murphy Brown: seasons 2-10
Diff'rent Strokes: seasons 5-8
A Different World: seasons 2-6
227: seasons 2-5
Perfect Strangers: seasons 3-8
Blossom: seasons 3-5
Amen
Odd Man Out
The Ropers
Three's a Crowd
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper
Baywatch
Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place
Brotherly Love
The Golden Palace
The Torkelsons
Step by Step
One Day at a Time

I don't own these on "homemade sets" but I'm always in search of them in great quality:
Empty Nest
Chico and the Man
Too Close for Comfort
Major Dad
Thea
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Sanford & Sanford Arms
The Drew Carey Show (remaining seasons)
Benson (remaining seasons)
Archie Bunker's Place (remaining seasons)
Who's the Boss? (remaining seasons)
Alice (remaining seasons)

^ I understand but here are some shows I really got tired of waiting for so I would buy bootleg sets/make my own sets of these:
Small Wonder: Seasons 3-4
Mr. Belvedere: Seasons 5-6
My Two Dads: Season 3
Murphy Brown: Seasons 2-10
My Three Sons: Seasons 3-12
Too Close for Comfort
It's About Time
The Ropers
Three's a Crowd
Happy Days: Seasons 7-11
Love, American Style: Seasons 2-5
One Day at a Time: Seasons 2-9
Archie Bunker's Place: Seasons 2-4
Perfect Strangers: Seasons 3-8
Blossom: Seasons 3-5
The Love Boat: Seasons 3-9
Werewolf
Head of the Class
It's a Living
Julia
Marcus Welby, M.D.: Seasons 3-7
The Paper Chase: Seasons 3-4
^ I haven't given up hope for any of the above, I'd just buy bootlegs until they were officially released.

I really want a DVD recorder so I can burn

From Antenna TV: "Johnny Carson", Seasons 3-4 of "Small Wonder", Seasons 5-6 of "Mr. Belvedere", Seasons 2-9 of "One Day at a Time", Seasons 6-8 of "Newhart" (although things seem to be looking pretty good for "Newhart" on DVD), "Dear John" & "The Burns and Allen Show", "Too Close for Comfort", "The Ropers", "Three's a Crowd" & "It's About Time"

From Me-TV: "Svengoolie" and Seasons 7-11 of "Happy Days"

I wish Laff (I get Laff) would pick up "Murphy Brown", "Perfect Strangers", & "Blossom".

I also wish Antenna TV would pick up "Room 222" and "Julia" so I record my own sets of these. I wish Me-TV would bring back "Rhoda" so I could record Season 5 (I think these are unedited on their network.) I wish SOMEBODY would pick up "St. Elsewhere" (hopefully Me-TV soon!) so I could record my own set hopefully UNEDITED. I'm getting really tired of waiting for the remaining seasons of "St. Elsewhere".

I also wish Cozi TV would bring back "Marcus Welby, M.D." & pick up "The Paper Chase" & "Werewolf". I also think "Alice", "Chico & the Man" and "It's a Living" would make neat fits for Me-TV's comedy lineup.

Also, this is HYPOTHETICALLY if I had a DVD recorder which hopefully I will soon.

Who's The Boss
Silver Spoons
Whiz Kids
Edison Twins
Misfits of Science

I have given up on:
It's a Living
Just the Ten of Us
The Hogan Family
The Donna Reed Show (S6-8)

I just wish a cable outlet would start running these (uncut but highly doubtful) so someone can make decent hi-quality sets.

^ I think "It's a Living" still has a chance, as well as "Donna Reed". Shout! seems to be working with WB and Sony, so SOMETHING has to come out of those relationships, so why not those two shows? I know "It's a Living" has music clearance issues, but "WKRP" must have been worse and it came out, so don't lose all hope yet!

I'm surprised WB didn't release a "best of" release of "It's a Living" at the very least.

Who's The Boss
Silver Spoons
Whiz Kids
Edison Twins
Misfits of Science

We did get a release of Automan which I thought would never get released, so maybe there is hope for shows like Whiz Kids and Misfits Of Science.

Chico and the Man

Hanging with Mr. Cooper

Head of the Class

Charlie and Company

Hello Larry



Now I will say I had given up hope on the shows below but they come on DVD out of nowhere

CPO SHarkey

Jeffersons, seasons 7 to 11

Who's The Boss
Silver Spoons
Whiz Kids
Edison Twins
Misfits of Science

Forgot how much I loved Who's the Boss. Last time I seen it it was in local syndication in 1992 here in philly.

bootlegg?

I don't think so

Yes, it is a bootleg

Don't get me wrong, I really want HOTC on DVD but I am not sure if it will happen. Here's hoping! The pilot is already on DVD anyway.

Well, "Sisters" made it to DVD so why not HOTC?

Those Too Close for Comfort sets have long been out of print and are super high.

About 1/3 of the TV series in my massive collection consists of TV shows I gave up of ever being released. If this is what it takes to get something you want then so be it.

Julia
Marcus Welby, M.D.: Seasons 3-7

Step by Step

I am NOT giving up hope for complete series sets of "Diff'rent Strokes", "Rhoda", "One Day at a Time", "The Love Boat" and "St. Elsewhere" though! Or a complete series set for "Mr. Belvedere".

^Add "Step by Step" to that list.

Here's some obscure shows we may NEVER see a DVD release of:

The Life Of Riley
77 Sunset Strip
The Real McCoys
Please Don't Eat The Daisies
The Jack Benny Program (Full Season Releases)
The George Burns And Gracie Allen Show (Full Season Releases)
The Danny Thomas Show (Complete Season Dvds)

With Shout Factory and Mill Creek, I haven't given up on ANY shows. Yes, a bunch are a long shot but not impossible.

All 6 seasons of "The Real McCoys" have been released.

It was hinted at a while back that "Please---Daisies" was coming but it hasn't happened yet.

Yeah and WAC said they are working to get 77 Sunset Strip on DVD.

Not the Uncut 26 minute network versions.

All 6 seasons of "The Real McCoys" have been released.

It was hinted at a while back that "Please---Daisies" was coming but it hasn't happened yet.

That is sad that they aren't the unedited copies and are all syndicated.

The owner says the originals need restoration.

That is sad that they aren't the unedited copies and are all syndicated.

Then they should restore them

They are looking for someone else to foot the bill of $2,000 an episode.

Then they should restore them

How do you know?

The owner told me.

How do you know?

K then

Need to get the community and fans together to fund the restoration.

K then

I am thinking about buying these homemade sets (thanks to MRPITT)
Small Wonder: Seasons 3-4
Mr. Belvedere: Seasons 5-6
Diff'rent Strokes: Seasons 5-8

Where is there a homemade set of Mr. Belvedere? I haven't seen one on ioffer.

^I traded for a set of seasons 5-6 of "Mr. Belvedere" from Sitcoms Online member MRPITT. It's a great set!

From MRPITT

^I traded for a set of seasons 5-6 of "Mr. Belvedere" from Sitcoms Online member MRPITT. It's a great set!

Was it recorded off Antenna TV ins February-March 2015 before they started credit crunching?

Yeah I would think so. He said they didn't have any credit crunching.

^The "Mr. Belvedere" seasons 5-6 set that I got from MRPITT does not have any credit crunching. It's a great set!

I want his homemade sets but with all the DVDs I am buying now it might be best to buy only a few at a Time. I am also interested in his mostly unedited "One Day at a Time" set.

Shows I've recently given up hope for:
The Ropers

It's weird that the Ropers and TAC is not on DVD since the parent show is complete but FLO is on DVD and Alice is not complete:crazy:

I loved Room 222. Great show and the best show set in a high school.

I thought about buying Alice on DVD, the seasons with Flo are the funniest, but overall I don't think I like the show enough to want it on DVD. :lol:

Shout Factory abandoned Marcus Welby and Room 222 after two seasons because of poor sales, so I agree I doubt we'll see any more.

I never liked The Paper Chase, I can do without that show.

Julia can currently be seen on the Aspire network. I've DVR'd a few episodes, it's a fairly good show but I'm not sure if I'd buy it on DVD.

^ Did they say it was poor sales for Marcus Welby? I know about Room 222 and Paper Chase, but I was wondering about that

Father Knows Best DVD's were successful, so Shout Factory greenlighted Marcus Welby. But the gamble didn't pay off like they hoped it would. Marcus Welby isn't near as fondly remembered a show like Father Knows Best is. Also, releasing medical shows on DVD is risky. Some shows sell well, while others do not.

Picket Fences seasons 2-4 (Season 1 was released way back in 2007)

I just asked Shout on Facebook about Diff'rent Strokes and they said they don't have any plans to release anymore right now.

Seconded, even though I managed to a procure the entire series from a "Trader" from S*\\.com

I never give up hope for anything but sometimes I do get tired of waiting.

I think some other company should've released Marcus Welby.

I don't think another company releasing it would make much difference, there would still be low sales. Marcus Welby just isn't that popular a show. If it sold below expectations for Shout Factory, sales are doubtful to improve with another company. But the way things are these days in the DVD market, there's always a possibility it could someday be released as a complete series.

I am really hoping but that hope is slowly fading that they'll release "The Powers That Be" On DVD. It was on Youtube (the whole series) for the longest time and now they've all been pulled.

I think this show would be a good candidate for Warner Archive to release. It is not that old and still has a recognizable cast. I loved it! Same goes for IT TAKES TWO. I am speaking of the 1982-83 Patty Duke, Richard Crenna, Anthony Edwards, Helen Hunt ABC sitcom, NOT the show starring those dreaded Olsen twins.

I really want a DVD recorder so I can burn

I'm not sure if you received it, but there was a period a couple years ago in which Aspire (when it first launched) was airing all of the episodes of Julia.

I would love for the Mark Goodson / Bill Todman library of game shows to be released on DVD.

But alas, it'll probably never happen (especially The Price is Right).

I'm not sure if you received it, but there was a period a couple years ago in which Aspire (when it first launched) was airing all of the episodes of Julia.

I do not get it nor did I ever.

Aspire is still airing Julia. My provider just picked up the network a month or so ago. The episodes look clean and are fun to watch since I had only seen a couple episodes. However, they are cutting about 5 minutes out of each episode, and are running them in a crazy order, repeating some episodes multiple times, and skipping over others.
That channel does the same thing with Room 222 and the half-hour edits of The Flip Wilson Show.

Once and Again Season 3...If anybody has this available PLEASE let me know.

I STILL believe THESE will happen, but I have lost hope for some shows to get fully released.

Diff'rent Strokes: Seasons 5-8
Rhoda: Season 5
One Day at a Time: Seasons 2-9
The Love Boat: Seasons 3-9
St. Elsewhere: Seasons 2-6
Murphy Brown: Seasons 2-10

Newhart: Seasons 6-8
Mr. Belvedere: Seasons 5-6
Small Wonder: Seasons 3-4
Benson: Seasons 3-7
Perfect Strangers: Seasons 3-8
Shining Time Station: Seasons 1-3
Happy Days: Seasons 7-11
Dear John: Seasons 1-4
Archie Bunker's Place: Seasons 2-4

With Shout Factory and Mill Creek, I haven't given up on ANY shows. Yes, a bunch are a long shot but not impossible.

Words to live by!

I know some people had probably given up hope on "Batman", "WKRP" and "The Wonder Years" but they got released. Who's to say that won't continue happening? "Lou Grant" is finally getting released, dumb "CPO Sharkey" got released, etc.

And WKRP got a much-improved full-series release from Shout! as compared to the original Fox first-season release, music-wise!

Marcus Welby isn't near as fondly remembered a show like Father Knows Best is. Also, releasing medical shows on DVD is risky. Some shows sell well, while others do not.


All 6 seasons of Medical Center have been released so far. All we need is a final season and I will have it complete.
