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** What are you dying to see on DVD? ---

All three of the **Firefly** movies! The _original_ \*\*Star Wars \*\* trilogy. (Han shot first, dammit!) **WKRP** 😃 ---

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 ---

Every single cartoon from the 80s, and a few from the 90s’, such as Beetlejuice. ---

I really want Nickelodeon’s old cartoon “Rocko’s Modern Life” to come out on DVD, but I doubt that it ever will… ☹ And of course I’m also waiting for “The Tick.” ---

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. I’m such a geek. ---

Movies: Damnation Alley Night of the Lepus 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.) ---
