> [@Paul\_in\_Qatar](#): > > WKRP Season 1 came out on DVD a couple of years ago (I stumbled across it at Best Buy one day, and snapped it up). Alas, while it has some of the original music, much of it has been re-dubbed with vaguely sound-alike stuff (it kills me that Les is no longer getting ready for his big date with Jennifer to the sound of Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded”). The remaining seasons haven’t yet appeared. ---

The 1966 BATMAN tv series. Alas rights problems are keeping this and THE GREEN HORNET in limbo. ---

> [@Slade](#): > > Far as I’m aware, they’ve only been released on a zone 2 DVD as two separate movies - not the joint edition I’m after. I’ve just checked Amazon UK again, and that does seem to be the case. I read somewhere that a zone 2 blu-ray disc was available with both movies together, but I don’t have a blu-ray player, so that’s not much help to me. Oh yeah, it’s two movies separated. But actually that means it’s the longer edit, I’m not sure Planet Terror is any different, but Deathproof as released as a single movie is being released as the Cannes edit version. And the trailers are on both movies. So, what’s the interest, except to see if both movies could work as one big standalone? I havent seen the US edit, but I really loved the Deathproof longer edit. ---

> [@Max\_Torque](#): > > [Daria: The Complete Animated Series](http://www.amazon.com/Daria-Complete-Animated-Tracy-Grandstaff/dp/B0019N8P2W/). Saw it in Best Buy last week. I believe they had to replace a lot of the non-original music (no one bothered to reserve the home-video release rights back then), but at least you can get the show! But the music was an integral part of the show. It’s like salt in cooking. You don’t necessary notice it’s there, but you sure as hell notice when its not there or replaced. ---

> [@Arglefraster](#): > > MTV’s Undressed > > Don’t judge me. In a flat second! It stars a significant number of current prominent actors, it was directed by a starting-out Brian/Tollins/Daviola crew now famous for many shows, and written by the fledgling writers who now write for primetime. Love to get it, too! ---
