[Tell Sony which TV series you want to see on DVD](http://www.sonypictures.com/cthe/tv/poll/) Finally someone asks ME what I want. Sony is conducting a poll on which classic to recent TV show should be collected on DVD. Most of them I couldn’t care less about, but the do have the live-action Tick and NewsRadio on the list. You do have to vote for 5 different shows, but if I get my two choices I don’t mind if they release Diff’rent Strokes as well. ---

Oooh! _The Tick_ and _Barney Miller_! I don’t care about the rest of the shows, but if they release those two, I’ll be a happy man! ---

Wow, the only one there that I could even remotely imagine wanting to watch would be NewsRadio. Not on the list, but what I’d buy would be: - Jonny Quest - Firefly - Battlestar Galactica ---

I’d like to tell Sony what I want. I want them to finish [what they’ve already started](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0767847563/qid=1045585278/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-3716089-8899864?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846). ---

My immediate thought upon seeing the thread title was The Tick – both live-action and animated. Ohhh, baby. ---

Oh, and here’s a URL I always post when subjects like this come up. It’s a great site to look up info on … well, you figure it out: [http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/](http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/) ---

I think it will be a while for Seinfeld on DVD. They are doing so well in syndication. ---

[The _Logan’s Run_ TV series](http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/logantv/). Sure, it was bad, but that was part of its charm! Oh, and I’d also like to see a DVD release of _ **Quark** _. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by KneadToKnow \* > \*\*That’s Castle Rock. Are they part of Sony, now, too? I thought they were part of Warner Brothers. \*\* The official site is on Sony webspace, the show is distributed by Columbia-TriStar, and they weren’t allowed to spoof it on Sony’s _The Rerun Show_, so I imagine Sony has something to do with it
