Title: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Merusk on June 09, 2005, 09:25:32 AM So when I opened-up my browser for my usual lunch session, an image of Adam West as Batman caught my eye on MSN. The Article in question (http://tv.msn.com/tv/notyetondvd?GT1=6577) was a top-10 list of TV shows they wanted to see on DVD but hadden't yet been announced. So it got me to wondering, what does everyone else want to see that's not out there yet?
Myself, most of the big shows from the past that I'd want to rent/ own are out there. The ones that aren't are actually on that list, Batman, and W.K.R.P (or at least a 'best of' with the Thanksgiving episode) Also, they need to be stabbed for including 90210 and Melrose Place.

I also want the whole MST3K catalogue to come out instead of these 4 volume sets they dribble out (although there is good stuff on them). Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Samwise on June 09, 2005, 10:29:33 AM Have all y'all seen the thing on Amazon where you can "vote" to have a TV series put on DVD? Not sure how much good it does, but they do send you an email if it ends up happening. And I have had one series that I voted for (Scrubs) actually come out about a year thereafter, so maybe those votes do get counted by someone.

It's basically a foregone conclusion that any modern show with any sort of following is going to have a DVD come out for it.

I would pay to see Briscoe County on DVD though. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: HaemishM on June 09, 2005, 11:55:28 AM I'd second the WKRP recommendation. I loved that show.
I'd like to see some of the not-so successful '70's sci-fi shows come out. There was one, called The Phoenix that I loved, but lasted like no time. I think this is the IMDB entry (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082901/). Things like Isis and Shazam from the '70's, or the Super 7 cartoon. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

There actually is quite the dearth of cooking shows on DVD (Good Eats has 'em, though. Yay.) Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Llava on June 09, 2005, 12:57:26 PM More seasons of Home Movies.
Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Viin on June 09, 2005, 12:59:47 PM Speaking of TV shows in DVD.. has anyone had a chance to watch Wonderfalls (http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70020497&trkid=181026)?
I caught a few episodes when a friend watched the DVDs and thought it was pretty good. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

I caught a few episodes when a friend watched the DVDs and thought it was pretty good. Front to back it's one of the strongest first seasons for any show I've ever seen. The DVDs are great because I believe they only aired about 4 episodes before they canceled it. It ends really strong, there are a few filler episodes though that I could have done without. Another season or 4 would have been terrific, but as it stands, it's not left completely wide open like Firefly was. There is some closure. It's quirky funny, well written, and well acted. Another show that died to Fox's timeslot of death. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

There was something else that got canceled during the great purge of 03-04. Somewhere between Veritas, Wonderfalls, Miracles and well, the 4th is the title I can't think of.

Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Miguel on June 09, 2005, 04:12:15 PM I remember a TV series (or perhaps a movie) that came out back in the early 80's. It featured a bunch of kids that all had special powers. I remember one kid could make lightning or control lightning, another had telekenesis, etc, etc. I can't remember the name of the show, I just remember watching it when I was young (like 10 years old or so).
Anyone have any idea what I am talking about? I may have dreamt the whole thing...who knows. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

Deadwood Season 2 I was going to say 'Tour of Duty', 'MacGyver', and 'Quantum Leap' but I just did a doublecheck on Amazon and holy shit! They're cranking them out these days. They even have Airwolf. Jesus Christ. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Trippy on June 09, 2005, 05:00:08 PM Wonderfalls was a great show -- "Did you see the thing with the feathers?" "Oh thank god I thought that was just me" (not exact quote). I watched the two episodes that were broadcast and have the DVDs as well (and the later episodes are even funnier, fricking FOX douchebags!). Off the top of my head other TV shows I'd like to see on DVD are: 6 Million Dollar Man and Iron Chef (the original Japanese series). As for Misfits of Science, Courtney Cox was such a cutie back then. That was right after she was discovered in the Bruce Springsteen "Dancing in the Dark" video (she's the girl that dances with him at the end).
Quote from: Rasix It's basically a foregone conclusion that any modern show with any sort of following is going to have a DVD come out for it. It's a thing of beauty that I can cherish my season one DVDs of Fox shows before their now canceled corpse has even cooled. Yeah but the problem is for a lot of the older shows, they never secured the rights to the original music for redistribution on alternate media. So some shows may never see the light of day on DVD, others that are on DVD have had their original music stripped out and substituted with generic filler, and others have been delayed as people wrangle over the music rights. It's the reason, for example, why Moonlighting is only now coming out on DVD (finally got the music rights squared away).Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Merusk on June 09, 2005, 07:40:25 PM I also want the whole MST3K catalogue to come out instead of these 4 volume sets they dribble out (although there is good stuff on them). I just remembered that I forgot to comment on this while reading Trippy's comments about redist of old shows. . My local radio station talked to the voice of Tom Servo a few months back when the "Mannos/ Santa conquers Mars" DvD came out. He explained that there's a LOT of calls to bring out the whole series on DVD, and they'd love to do that, but there's one snafu. The contracts signed with the producers of the movies when MST3k originally obtained the rights only allowed for TV broadcast. Buying TV series back in the 90s wasn't even something people considered so redistribution rights weren't included. As a result, they have to renegotiate contracts for DVD/ VHS distro of each and every episode. Some people they just plain can't find again, and others are a bit touchy that their hard work was ripped to shreds and don't want to sign. So, we get the dribbles as they're able to renegotiate the ones the fans really want to see again. I suspect this is also part of the reason we haven't seen Batman on DVD yet. I'm sure WB would have LOVED to tie-in a DVD release of the original series with the new movie. I also suspect Adam West is holding out for a very large piece of that pie, and so it probably won't happen until he kicks-off. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see. Post by: Abagadro on June 09, 2005, 07:58:31 PM That makes a lot of sense and is a real shame. You'd think the dopes who made those dogs would want to eek out some more money on them. Wonder when they would become pubic domain. Probably 2225 under the new copyright laws.

Obviously the master tapes where sent twenty minutes into the future and nobody can find them anymore, because I saw that once as a child and it has never been repeated on Television since then. I would kill somebody for those DVDs, preferably somebody who decided not to show it on German TV anymore. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

I'd like to see some other good cancelled-by-Fox shows come out, such as Brimstone or John Doe. Of course, I'd love it if they just actually finished filming a movie of John Doe that explained who he was. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.

Post by: Shockeye on June 14, 2005, 01:39:47 PM Quote from: Getting It Buffy's Breast Moods (http://www.gettingit.com/article/154) Like the Mona Lisa's face, Buffy's breasts portray subtle shifts in human emotion. Viewed from different angles, they can suggest everything from cruel temptation to delirious plenitude. Here are some of their more common forms: Action Breasts: Tight T-shirt-encased breasts that whiz by as Buffy kicks vamps in the face. Chosen One Breasts: Softly lit globes with a cross dangling between them, generally featured in scenes with Mom or Giles. Temperamental Breasts: When Buffy has to do yucky things like go to class, these pouty breasts swell capriciously beneath a silky, spaghetti-strap top. Nipple seekers take note: Here's the time to look for that elusive hint of erect nips. Danger Breasts: Usually framed by the v-neck of a teeny leather jacket, these are the muscle-reinforced breasts that jiggle menacingly when Buffy aims her stake. Title: Re: TV DVDs you'd like to see.
