A complete Jay Ward box set; with Rocky & Bullwinkle, Crusader Rabbit, the Captain Crunch ads, and whatever else they can find.

A complete Warner Brothers cartoon box set; I think there was a fairly complete set released on Laser Disc. Rerelease it.

The full fifteen and a half hour version of _Berlin Alexanderplatz_, on one disc with loads of extras!

Seriously though, I would max out my credit cards for an _Amazing Colossal MST3K DVD Set_ with every episode…

Great call on _Joe vs. The Volcano_, **SuperNelson**. I love that movie.

And **Little Nemo** ’s suggestion reminded me of [url=“[http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1184.php](http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1184.php)”]Roger Ramjet\*\*. What I wouldn’t give to have that series, all one year of it, on DVD. Okay, so I wouldn’t give more than $29.95.

As a robot geek, I’ll vote for the complete collection of **Mighty Orbots.**

With an option to turn off the Narrator’s bits. 😃

“Miller’s Crossing” is fantastic. I understand it’s being released in the spring of 02’…can’t find the link right this second.

“Quick Change” with Bill Murray

“J-Men Forever” by Firesign Theatre

Oh yeah, I’ll second that Zep request “Live at Earl’s Court” but I’d rather see their 1970 show “Royal Albert Hall” concert!

_Blazing Saddles_ Special Edition

In some weird alternate universe crossover the TV version has **more** scenes then the video release. Mostly extra Mongo gags and a jewel with Brooks and some reporters.

IMHO, its still the funniest movie ever made.

When I first opened this thread, I thought UHF! As the video is not available on Amazaon (out of circulation), this is excellent news! Go to eBay and do a search for USED VHS copies. They are going for serious bank. Good news.

Add “Mr. Show With Bob and David.” The BEST skit show ever. I just saw David Cross in concert. Reminded me of how great that show was. Comedy act was a definite B-, though.

Seinfeld complete Seasons.

Family Guy is a good choice.

Larry Sanders Show.

Indy and Star Wars, of course.

V and V the Final Battle. (Eh, throw in the cheesy series too).

I didn’t think of cartoons (FG aside).

Ducktales.  
Gummi Bears.  
GI Joe.  
Transformers.  
Superfriends.

They already released “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” on DVD, unfortunately it was one of the early DVD releases and didn’t have any extras. ☹

Ahhh… _Babylon 5_… gimmmeee gimmmeeee!!! 🙂  
\<sigh\> Waiting… waiting…

On other titles, isn’t the coding vs. availability odd for some titles? _Buffy_ season 1 & 2 have been available in zone 2 first and then zone 4 for quite some time. Season 3 just got released for zone 2 (and Angel 1 is pending) and _nada_ for zone 1. What gives?!

\<aside\> Fortunately I get to live somewhere that thinks coding is bad and evil and a restraint of trade – although we haven’t gone quite as far as the Ozzies who seem to be considering suing the studios on unfair trade grounds – and virtually all DVD players here are multi-zone. Bwwwaaahhhhaaahhhhhaaaa! 🙂

Think I’ll go home and re-watch my _Buffy_ season 2 discs. 😛
