You people are so young. I’d maim someone for the complete run of **Adam-12** , the cop show in which _nothing happened_. The first few season were literally just transcripts of what cops did during the day. And the entire \*\*Brisco County, Jr{/b]. Go Bruce Campbell, Go! ---

Okay obviously people are forgetting some awesome shows here… THE MUPPET SHOW!!! The Wonder Years Welcome back Kotter Perfect Strangers (remember Balky? (sp?)) Saved by the Bell Freaks and Geeks of course… The A Team How about the old Nancy Drew show??? Did everyone forget about that? Certain episodes of Mystery Science Theatre that have not been released yet… _Anyone know Puma Man?_ Inside the Actor’s Studio… gotta love James Lipton and there aren’t that many episodes yet… In Living Color The Adventures of Pete and Pete All in the Family Walker Texas Ranger just because Chuck Norris’s huge upperlip cracks me up and all the episodes are the same. The Carol Burnette Show The Ed Sullivan Show… the musical acts anyway… Howdy Doody??? ---

Not that I necessarily want this on DVD, but did everyone forget the show COACH? Craig T. Nelson people! I always thought it was amusing anyways. ---

**Mystery Science Theater 3000**. It will never happen (too many copyright issues, I doubt the creators will want to go through all of that), but a guy can dream. Second **Rocko’s Modern Life** and **Pete and Pete**. Third **|Invader Zim**. I watched two episodes this afternoon and now I’m hooked. While we’re on the subject of Nicktoons, **Ren and Stimpy**. They might have started that, I can’t remember. ---

It’s been a year since we’ve started watching them, and they’re still our favorite DVD’s. I would love to see **Drew Carey** and MTV’s **The State** out on DVD. Also, the complete episodes of **Eekstravaganza** (It’ll never happen). We’ve been Savage Steve Holland fans since _Better Off Dead_. ---
