> [@Simplicio](#): > > Similarily, I wish they’d release **Young Indiana Jones** as it was aired. IIRC, the only version available now is episodes from the original series re-edited into several movie length films. Well, what they changed was arranging the stories into chronological order, instead of the haphazard way they aired, and removing the beginning and end bumpers that had Ancient Eyepatch Indy. They are otherwise untouched, as far as I know, and are still fine entertainment in this form, arguably improved (apart from Corey Carrier ageing rapidly in one story). ---

_Hill Street Blues_ - ran for seven seasons, only the first two have been released on DVD. _NYPD Blue_ - ran for twelve seasons, only the first four have been released on DVD. ---

Hopefully the release of the first season of “Maverick” will be followed by the remaining episodes. Or at least all the ones with James Garner. “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” Fortunately my cable system has added Metv so there are some episodes available at 6AM. Just when Maynard G Krebs is going to sleep. I’d be interested in “That Was The Week That was” because of Tom Lehrer but I wonder how much a topical comedy show from the mid 60s holds up. “Hullabaloo” “Shindig” “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” All episodes of Phil Silvers/Sgt Bilko ---

> [@dzeiger](#): > > The remaining seasons of _The Muppet Show_ Remaining? I can’t find ANY. Thanks for that post though. Also: Happy Days Rest of $6M Man (yes you heard me) Rockford Files Monty Python (I’ll settle for a best of here; some of that stuff was painfully unfunny) Brady Bunch (again: yes you heard me) Odd Couple Love American Style Damn am I the only one who grew up in the 70s?? 🙂 I almost forgot: the GOOD episodes of Bugs Bunny, WITHOUT some newfangled crapola which tries to tie it together - just one after the other, how we used to watch it on cable back when. Not the crappy ones that came out from about the 60s on out either. That’s like watching the 3 stooges with shemp. ugh. Oh and Wonder Years was a good call too. ---

> [@oreally](#): > > Rockford Files I think all of the regular episodes have been released, at least on region 1. According to Wikipedia, all that’s missing is volume 2 of the reunion movies. While there I discovered that a theatrical reboot is in the works to star Vince Vaughn. ---

> [@oreally](#): > > You just reminded me of another: Baa Baa Black Sheep. Not a “great” show but better than most of the crapola on now. The first season’s been released on DVD in the United States but in a ridiculously overpriced package. They split the season into two volumes and released each separately for forty dollars. Inexplicably, they released the second season but not the first season in the UK. ---

What a joke. It wasn’t THAT good. Talk to me when it hits the $14.95 discount bin. For the entire season that is.
