Great TV series that are only available on DVD

The Batman complete series box set is $39.99 at the Apple TV store/iTunes right now.

It’s streaming on Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) services like Tubi.

The reason it isn’t on Max where you’d expect to be is because WarnerBros/Discovery dumped some of their own content onto FAST services in order to save money.

Batman is on MeTV Saturdays 9:30 PM Central and CatchyTV will be having a marathon June 29:

Rocky & Bullwinkle WAS on MeTV toons:

So if you are willing to watch ads and on their schedule*, things may be on OTA X.# channels.

The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd may or may not be on DVD somewhere. It certainly isn’t streaming anywhere. There are a few blurry episodes on youtube.

The Shari Lewis Show is available only on DVD (under the title “The Shari Show”). The 90s spinoff for kids, Lamb Chop’s Play-Along, was never released on DVD or streaming.

There are a few shows that I’ll google every few months and suddenly it appears!

That happened with me and Coronet Blue.*
Suddenly, fifty years after it disappeared, it showed up one night on some digital archive! So I stayed up and downloaded every episode while I could.

*That was bizarre, because I really had no idea what the show was, or whether I’d like it. The pilot had come in during an all-night sleepover on a friend’s B&W basement TV, from a staticky station that we shouldn’t have gotten. It faded out a couple minutes later, and I never saw or even heard of any more… and in the mid-'60s, there was nowhere to hunt.

But the jazzy opening and a promise of an amnesia-fueled mystery had me hooked, though for decades all I knew was two words: Coronet Blue.

What I am frustrated about is the first 20 seasons of Law & Order are available on multiple services and

and NBC has the latest 24th season available

but seasons 21 to 23 I can NOT find anywhere.

Not streaming, but FWIW, seasons 21 to current are available for purchase as digital downloads at the usual places like Apple TV and Amazon.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “great,” but I’m annoyed at my inability to find the comedy Wrecked (imdb link) anywhere on streaming. It’s listed on Amazon but when you go to it it says something like “Not available due to expired rights.” Vudu/Fandango doesn’t even list the title.

I recall the comedy being topical so I’m not sure how well it holds up, but it would be nice to be able to check it out. (One joke I remember was everyone being desperate to know what’s happening on Game of Thrones but the one douche-bro guy was more concerned about Ballers. heh.)

Hey, no need… the point of this entire thread is that there are a LOT of favorite TV shows that AREN’T available on streaming or cable or via antenna. I could list a dozen, but others have already done that right here.

I know, right? These people should be strung up with piano wire, beaten within an inch of their lives and then EXECUTED, with the bodies defiled and burned afterward for not being aware that many TV shows ARE in fact available!
