According to that site, The Tick DVD has been released. As has the 5th Season of the Sopranos, Batman, Mythbusters, the Wonder Years, and others that have been listed in this thread.
The site does not list every TV DVD on the market, though. For the longest time, I checked the site to see if Fame had been released. I was bummed out because it wasn’t on the website, and I took that to mean it wasn’t available for sale. But just recently, I googled the web and discovered an online merchant that had it. I just got the four-disk collection in the mail. I’ve been spending my nights this week watching that delicious Gene Anthony Ray, may he forever RIP.
The Tick DVD that was released was the live action version.
(which IMHO was merely OK)
What many dopers (including me) want, is the animated version
(which IMHO was great, awesome, super-nifty, etc)

who bought the live action DVD partially in the hopes that it would spur the release of the animated version.
Just watched the entire Dave Allen DVD ( then Nathan Barley, Buzzcocks, Seinfeld - Red Dot - Kramers scotch advert is the best ! ) tonight - an entire eve on laffs. Class. Dave Allen talking bout dogs and teenagers is hysterical. He is part of my childhood…
They are, but you need a hack for them (not that I would know anything about that), plus getting them shipped to you in the States can some times be a problem, since the production company may have restricted where they can be sold, so legitimate companies like Amazon won’t ship them to you, and “grey market” sources aren’t always completely trustworthy.
Since many DVD player are made for multiple countries, many DVD player require murely a simple code number to play multiregion DVDs. See my posts on DVD regions, whats the deal? particularily post 12.
P.S. Yes, I was acting p.o.ed. I admit it. It’s annoying when you provide a perfect link, only to get a responce two seconds latter, not long enough for someone to have explored the site fully. However, in acting annoyed, I was acting like a jerk. Still, the links I gave had some good advice.
Oh mine’s been hacked (I should have put a wink in my post earlier), it was one of the first things I did to it, but some models require physically opening the case and flipping switches.
Scavenger Hunt is a movie I’d like to see on DVD. Also, there are a couple of Genesis concerts which were available on VHS which I’d like to see on DVD. There was one from the Mama tour, Three Sides Live, and one from the Seconds Out tour.
Animaniacs - couldn’t wait, made my own from tapes I recorded way back when it was broadcast daily. (no, I won’t sell you one!)
Rocko’s Modern Life - Didn’t get to tape very many episodes, but I’m transferring what I got anyway.
Star Wars - Lucas says he’ll never release the original versions on DVD, well, I’ve got these three THX widescreen laserdisc sets, let’s see…
…wanders over to computer desk, plugs DV bridge into LD player…
Very very funny stuff in my opinion. Problem is, being on MTV, they habitually used popular songs of the day as background music. And now that they wish to put out a DVD of the show, they find that the music licensing fees are prohibitive. Negotiations have been ongoing for several years.
Possibly this is what the producers of the putative WKRP in Cincinnati DVD are going through as well . . .
Sorry for the bump, but where? All I’ve found online are VCD bootlegs. Netflix doesn’t have it, and Amazon tells me “Availability: NOT YET RELEASED: The studio is currently not producing this title on DVD…”
I think you can get it on VHS, but I would love to see a DVD of Dr. Katz from COmedy Central, especially with a comentary track. That show was pure unadulterated genius.
