The first five seasons, please. The sixth and final season kinda phoned it in, but the 1-hour series finale when the battle-beast clones got loose and the gang had to take up Phil and Lem’s forgotten weapon prototypes to contain them - that was awesome.
Ted: “Who makes a gun that shoots marshmallow goo? Really!”
Phil: “I thought it might be good for crowd control. . .and besides, as a child, I LOVED Bugsy Malone”.
I don’t care about Nathan, Adam, or Summer, but I will not participate in anything that causes distress to Jewel. I’m surprised and dismayed that you’d even ask.
You seriously expect me, of all people, to actually touch that? With my BARE HANDS?
The adult version with all the swearing? I’ll take one of those too. My (homemade) VHS tape is messed up.
I made a mistake here. I think there’s a version that replaced Bud Cort with Tom Sawyer (the actual historical figure from Alternate Timeline K3). I believe it was all directed by Christopher Nolan with artistic input from Sergio Leone.
I know it only lasted a single season, but I’d like to see the whole of Police Squad, not just the first six episodes.
My wife and I have been wanting to see the 2006-2010 episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, especially the segments dealing with Ray Gricar, Natalee Holloway, the DC Sniper shootings, and Jennifer Kesse. We realize that two of these have been solved or all but solved, but we’d love to see Robert Stack narrating them. A very happy 91st birthday to Mr. Stack this year, by the way.
The only problem is that the epilogues started getting too damned long later in the season, when they insisted on naming everyone who ended up at Statesville Penitentiary. I can’t imagine how they’d have handled that if they went to a second season!
Get me the DVD with the 10 “missing but found” Three Stooges episodes with Curly in them.
Oh, my goodness, where to start?
How about the Lord D’Arcy movie series that Randall Garrett said perfectly captured his prose just the way he imagined it?
Glory Road, of course, the Stardancer Trilogy and the Retief TV series, which showed what could be accomplished with a limited budget and lots of imagination.
All seven seasons of Tim Reid’s “Frank’s Place,” and while you’re at it, the whole WKRP set WITH the original music.
Oh, and the Modesty Blaze movies — I’ll be in my bunk.
The complete 7 season series of the live action The Tick with Patrick Warburton and Nestor Carbonell.
The Terry Gilliam directed Good Omens.
The women-all-nude edition of the original Charlie’s Angels.
Labyrinth II: Jareth’s Journey.
And the proper, live action, version of Dragonlance.
I’ll probably be killed, but I’d like to see the other three seasons of Enterprise. And maybe some of the originals of those episodes that Braga copied but had the audacity to change.
Blushing is not necessarily a sign of distress, you know…
Here, sir, have some gloves. Leather, latex, rubberized, nitrile?
Season 2 of The Inside, Traveller, The Unusuals and Fear Itself. I saw the first seasons of those on TV a couple summer agos, but was always too busy to watch them when they returned.
And stop by the music section and see if they have any gold remasters of Beethoven Symphony 10-49.
(on a more serious note, those of you annoyed by lack of answers in the last season of Lost really need to watch the epilogue episode made for the Season 6 DVD…but please download it, don’t buy it and support studio tactics like this)
We could devote an entire thread to this. I think we did, in fact. I hated it. Here’s what I said in a previous thread:

Essenytially, they took an unrelated (except that it accepted Asimov’s three laws) screenplay and slapped the names of the characters from Asimov’s book on it. That’s like taking The Red Badge of Courage, changing the names of the soldiers to Rhett Butler and Ashley Wilkes, and saying you’ve “adapted” Gone With the Wind. 'Cause, you know, it’s about how the Civil War affected people.
On top of which the movie was filled with robots acting completely unlike Asimov’s Three=Law-Based creations. The movie is practically the anti-Asimov.
as I noted above, Harlan Ellison wrote a pretty damned faithful (and rather Citizen Kane-esque) screenplay that had Asimov’s blessing, which has been published. Some people on this Board have been adamant in rejecting it, but I think it’d make a helluva movie, and it’s certainly in the Infinite DVD Store.
Hell, the version I read in Weird Science-Fantasy #27 seemed pretty decent, too.
I’d like the concert DvD of Live Aid, the one with the original Beatles reunion as the final act in London. I’ve heard John Lennon never sounded any better than that night. Even Freddie Mercury admitted The Beatles stole the show.
Oh, just to be more specific, I want the version of Joan where the network brass didn’t totally fuck up the second season.
That would be the version which DIDN’t co-star Reid’s wife, right?
Oh, good one!
Just seasons 4 and 5 of Deadwood, thanks.
Traveling Wilburys, Volume II
All the funny Adam Sandler movies (haven’t run across one yet, myself)
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson episode when he says to Raquel Welch, “move that cat”.
The Three’s Company episode where John Ritter’s nutsack makes a brief appearance.
mmm
