No, I don't think you did.
I would love for Spenser: For Hire to come out on DVD. Unfortunately, all they've done so far are the four TV movies that Urich and Brooks did in the mid-90s.

Ally McBeal is a big one--I know it's the music rights holding that one up. I hope one day that gets sorted out because that was a great show.
The second season of the late 80s TV show War of the Worlds. I'm one of the few that preferred the second season to the first and would love to get it on DVD.
I was so happy that Friday the 13th the Series is finally being released on DVD! I love that show, cheesy 80s camp that it is. Good stuff.
L.A. Law was one I hadn't even thought of before I came in this thread, but yeah, it would be great to see that on DVD!

Is Ally McBeal not available in Region 1? The whole series is out in Region 2, has been for ages.

I didn't know Friday the 13th was finally being released. I haven't watched any of that since it's initial airing. I'll definitely want to check it out again. Same with War Of The Worlds. I remember watching it when it aired, but don't recall a lot about it off the top of my head.
I'm still waiting for the rest of Wiseguy. They released several of the story arcs but I would much rather have the whole seasons.
DESPERATE, CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM RELEASES
Earth: Final Conflict Season 2. (Thank god we're finally getting Season 1.)
Made in Canada Seasons 2-5.

Yeah, there was a selection of six episodes from the first season that was released in 2000. As far as I know, that's all we've gotten.
I'm pretty close to importing the region 2 set, especially now that Boston Legal is finished (I miss my David E Kelley).
The Remastered version of Red Dwarf is one such show I'd like to have. I *think* it's available in R2 but not R1.
Word. Just....word.
It is! I've been waiting for it for ages. Season one came out last year and season two was just released. Hopefully season three will be later this year. War of the Worlds is sadly just season one, but still worth picking up. So much nostalgia!
Yep, just those six eps--and I imagine that's probably out of print now? I know the UK has the entire series--I hope the US will too...eventually. That was a great show (not all of the time, but a lot of the time).
There are some cool Fox Kids shows from my youth that I'd like to see immortalized on DVD:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Power Rangers Zeo
Power Rangers in Space
Peter Pan & the Pirates
You can keep 'em. I think the model fx work done in the original Series I-III is absolutely fantastic.
But after seeing the Comedy Connections special about Red Dwarf on the Series VIII DVDs, it's made me hungry for more stuff with the Red Dwarf actors to make it onto DVD; like the aforementioned Brittas Empire and Maid Marion & Her Merry Men, Craig Charles as the host of Robot Wars Season 2, Chris Barrie on Happy Families, Chris Barrie's other sketch comedy work on shows like Spitting Image, etc.

The second season shifted focus from the emergency response to a day in the life with each episode featuring one of the ensemble cast. Then the day. On a Bosco episode 9/11/2001 happened and the show ended with the cops, firefighters and paramedics who had all come off watch in their street clothes hitching a ride towards the WTC towers.
The show shifted back to the emergency response but then had a big bad drug dealer for the season who took on the 55th cops with armies of henchmen in attacks Jack Bauer couldn't survive. By the 4th season Bosco, having failed to get assigned to ESU, NYPD's SWAT team, was introduced to anti-crime units,NYPD plain clothes street cops, while his partner was pregnant in real life. Thus Sgt Cruz was introduced, for good or for bad. In my opinion at this point Third Watch jumped the shark and became a clean version of The Shield with Sgt Cruz standing in for Sgt Mackey
By the last season all the featured firefighters and paramedics, except the rookie Carlos were replaced. On the cop side two new beat cops were introduced and one regular was promoted but was still a major part of the show eventhough she was no longer a first responder, which was the initial focus of the show.
I am STILL waiting for Paramount's 1993 series "The Untouchables."
It had first-rate actors, entertaining stories, great period costumes and cars and Tommy-guns, plus a fantastic musical score by Joel Goldsmith.
It was only on for a year and a half, but it wrapped up its story by the final episode, and it would make a perfect DVD box set (unlike many canceled series that end with a cliffhanger).
Come on, CBS/Paramount! It's been 15 years! Either release "The Untouchables" on DVD, or at least show some re-runs on one of the 800 cable channels out there.

I know a local LA broadcast channel was playing it on weekends about 10 years ago
EFC's 3rd - 5th seasons were released on DVD in 2003. I think they are now out of print. Season 1 gets released this May.
At one point, EFC season two (along with season one) was supposed to be released. My speculation is that this will happen within the next 6 to 12 months, assuming the season one sells well.
Thing is, I think it didn't do as well as the studio/DVD people/whoever wanted, so any future releases are probably on hold. It is a shame; I liked that show and while I doubt I'd buy it, I'd at least like to revisit it via NetFlix.
Charles did series 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Robot Wars, as well as numerous specials and two series of Robot Wars Extreme - quite a hefty box set that would be!

No fracking way!!!!!
Let it stay in limbo, forever.
I have a worthy show that should be on DVD: Max Headroom, complete with everything, including the original British TV movie.
There was exactly one good episode of Small Wonder - the family tried to trick the annoying, nosy family next door into moving away. While it natch didn't work, I had been waiting forever and a day for that type of show to try that. Of course, Darren and Samantha could have quashed 90% of Mrs. Kravitz by just moving something in front of that one living room window.
