Why is it I can go to Wal-Mart and find old shows like Hee Haw on DVD, but I can’t find **Murphy Brown** or **WKRP**?
Maybe they’re out there and just not available in my area. Maybe my Wal-Mart or Best Buy has something your local one doesn’t.
So let’s make a list and maybe match people up. I send you $20, you go buy my show and send it to me; I find yours, etc.
MB and WKRP are the only two I can think of so far. I’m sure I’ll think of more later.

Neither _Murphy Brown_ nor _WKRP in Cincinnati_ are available on DVD.
If I wanted a DVD that wasn’t available in my area, I’d purchase it online.

A “Season 2-4 supplemental set” for South Park, for us fans who bought the stupid themed DVDs as soon as they came out, because we didn’t think the same episodes would be released in another, more complete format.
