DVD's you are shocked that ARE available - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have you ever been in a store browsing the DVD's and you see something that is available on DVD? Whether it is a movie, tv show, etc. This happened the other day as I was browsing FRY'S. I seen a DVD for the kids show MIGHTY ISIS. This was a show that came on Saturday mornings right after SHAZAM in the 70's. I was shocked, especially when I think of things that I'd rather see on DVD and they haven't been released YET! Still, I might end up one day buying that ISIS DVD merely for nostalgia.

I was browsing Best Buy a couple months ago, and I came across a DVD that had a nothing but a bunch of old classic TV commercials on it. It was 2-discs I believe, and was only like $10, full of old commercials. I didn't buy it, but now that I'm writing this, I think I might go back there and see if it's still abailable.

I used to watch ISIS and SHAZAM.

They should come out with a whole bunch of those Saturday morning shows. I'd love to see The Kroft Supershow.

I was surprised that The Hardy Boys 13-episode series exists on DVD (the one from 1995). I actually used to watch it on tv around 2000 and bought the set

I picked that up and glad I did. It didnt get a lot of the classic commericals but there are some goodies in there. Only is it had too many 70's commericals for my taste.

TeeVeeCloset · 07-22-2008, 07:23 PM

For me it's the real oddball stuff like.......

Tabitha.....a terrible one season wonder, but was very surprised it was released.

The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein.....the 1970's Canadian produced childrens show.....A one volume dvd release in the US but a boxset was issued in Canada.

This Is Tom Jones.....and other variety shows that haven't been on since their original airings.

Lotsa Luck...one season nbc dom deluise series

Good Morning World.....one season ronnie shell series...very much like dick van dyke in color, from the same creators and writers.

but for me the most shocking was a recent release.....

The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show....the 1970's Saturday morning series that I would have bet I would have never seen again!

Ireneparalegal · 07-22-2008, 08:00 PM

Tabitha is on DVD???? Wow!

I agree Sonny, it would be awesome to see those Saturday kids' shows in one big set.

What memories that would bring back.

I did see LAND OF THE LOST on DVD as well. That was a show I always looked forward to watching on Saturdays. I seen come clips on Youtube and think "How darn corny that show was."

Oh so you seen it too on DVD?

Wow, I guess there is a market for this particular show.

Well, I looked out my window and checked for flying pigs when I first heard Route 66 was getting a release.

Yep--released at the time the Bewitched movie was in theaters and the first BW dvd sets were also being put out.

Lisa Hartman--mmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm..... best ____ on TV!

Ireneparalegal · 07-23-2008, 12:11 AM

I once read that Joanna Cameron was in the Guinness Book of World Records. Or that she held the record for most tv appearances as far as commercials are concerned. I can't remember, something like that.

I am seriously wanting to buy the DVD.

Jude The Obscure · 07-23-2008, 12:16 AM

And to see the actors on Isis--the guy who played Alderman Davis on GT, as well as Ronalda Douglas, the second T.C. on GT. The lead guy and Joanna Cameron's teacher persona, Andrea--wow-if the show wasn't on Saturday morning, you could hear "Let's Get it On" for those two characters!
