Inspired by the thread on The Tick - the original cartoon, I was thinking about movies and shows that I really would love to have on DVD, but aren’t out yet. Namely The Tick and The Rockford Files, and for movies - Life is Sweet
TV Series: Max Headroom (20 Minutes into the Future, not the talk show); Alien Nation; and when I saw the recent thread on Kolchak: The Night Stalker, I thought that might be fun to have!
Films: Kenneth Branaugh’s Hamlet, and the French Lt.'s Woman
The complete Warner Brothers cartoon collection, Duckman, and that new animated series, Drawn Together. I’d also like to see the Hollywood documentary series about silent films released on DVD.
The Gummi Bears. My favourite Disney TV cartoon. Though Darkwing Duck is a close second.
Sesame Street collections of particular muppet sketches. e.g. I’d love a Grover collection, with two hours of all his Supergrover and Waiter sketches, etc. And definitely a Bert and Ernie collection, including the Praire Dawn plays.
TV:
The adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
Fraggle Rock
Amazing Stories
A respectable season-based set of “Get a Life” rather than the weird compilation DVD’s they have out now
Wild Palms - it could all be fit on one or two DVD’s.
Liquid Television in a release that makes sense and is in print
Daria
MTV’s the Real World - earlier seasons, and with the original music instead of cheap casio keyboard-sounding substitutions
Another vote for Animaniacs and Batman. What I really, really wish would come out on DVD is anything from Midnight Special. It’ll probably never happen, what with all the permissions they’d have to secure. But I’d give anything to see Sugarloaf again, playing “Green Eyed Lady”, segueing into an organ improvisation, segueing into “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You.” And that’s just one of my favorite moments.
Know what else? All of the promo videos made by The Beatles, together and separately. And “Let It Be”, with the picture and sound synchronized up, and extra footage. Nah, never happen.
I’d like to see the television show “The Paper Chase” on DVD. Also, possibly the show Lou Grant, although that may already be available. (I haven’t actually looked for it.)
