[DLevine2]

Golden Palace

[DSfan]

I am looking forward to the California Dreams S1/2 release. Definitely gonna pick that one up.

I hope that Diff'rent Strokes continues to get released as well as Boy Meets World and Fresh Prince (not that I'm getting BMW or FP right away but it would be nice to see them released)

Wonder Years needs to released eventually. They should pay whatever it is for the rights to the music cuz there are so many people that would buy these DVDs, even at a higher price, probably and they would still make a pretty good profit.

[peachysquirt21]

I am so happy to finally see Rhoda, My Two Dads & Mr. Belvedere coming.

Here is my list that I would like to see more of or actually come to DVD:

Alice
Mama's Family

OUT OF THIS WORLD
YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION
WORKING
*GOBOTS
FAMILY MATTERS
THE WONDER YEARS
*FOX'S PETER PAN AND THE PIRATES

I KNOW 2 OF THEM ARE ANIMATED, BUT MAN WOULD I LOVE TO SEE THEM ON DVD

[ultimateggfan]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for:

Benson
Maude
Mama's Family
The Golden Palace
Empty Nest
Nurses

As a Susan Harris fan, I would LOVE it if some studio would release these short-lived but underrated shows:

Fay
I'm A Big Girl Now
It Takes Two
Hail to the Chief

[robby76]

Nice summary!

I hope we get to see Facts of Life, Eight is Enough and Small Wonder in 2009!!!

[GameShowFan1986]

I heard that Fresh Prince last two seasons had music problems so that's why Warner Brothers hadn't release them...

Coming in 2009 (For Sure)

Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Heroes & Desperate Housewives - In the Fall

Coming in 2009 (Maybe)

Perfect Strangers: S3

What's Happening Now: S2

Webster: S1 (Long Shot)

Code Monkeys: S2

Welcome Back Kotter: S2 (Another Long Shot)

Sesame Street, Old School: Vol.3

I have more but most people here saying them already...

[davidhales]

What about Perfect Strangers, Webster or even Family Matters?

[clarkkent]

I really wish they would finish releasing 227 and Too Close For Comfort. Maybe Shout Factory could pick up the remaining seasons. Glad to see Blossom and Mr. Belvedere are coming. Season 5 of Family Ties is coming so I'm not worried about that show being abandoned. What about season 3 of Coach. Such a hilarious show that is very underrated.

Hope they consider:
Webster
Out of this world
Small wonder
Family Matters

I notice alot of people are like me, they want the classics, the shows that are ACTUALLY funny, not like today's junk. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[JulieSomoski]

I think Wonder Years is just due for a season 1 release. It's just 6 episodes - if a company would just take on the task of getting these 6 episodes, with original music, onto DVD, then all would be good.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Amen Season 1
Alice Season 1
Benson Season 2
Maude season 2
Mama's Family season 2
One Day At A Time Season 2
Trapper John M.D. Season 1
227 Season 2
Webster Season 1
Qunicy M.D. Season 1
Family Matters Season 1
The Hogan Family Season 1

[IloveLacey]

So many TV shows and movies are released on DVD these days, but I am still waiting for the short lived "Working Girl" (1990) with Sandra Bullock. I would love to get that. With her many fans, I am sure it would sell well. Even if only as a curiosity. As a result of this show, she became my absolute favourite actor, and she still is after nearly 20 years.

[Retro76]

I sure hope Love, American Style will have its second season released as well as the rest of Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days and the final season of That Girl.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Growings Pains season 2

[TV_Fan]

Hopefully Mork & Mindy S4 so I can finish off the series.

[Scoobiedoo30]

In The Heat of The Night season 1.

[MacLeaper]

Don't know if this list is keeping strictly to sitcoms, but I certainly have a number of shows I'd love to see come to DVD. Thankfully, a lot of my favorites have been released and I've been quite ecstatic to see '80s classics that I thought I might never see again like My Two Dads and Mr. Belvedere getting released!:)
I'd also love to see eventually-

Family Ties (Seasons 5-7 - looks like things are on track for this to get released in full, so that rules!)
Charles in Charge (I love this show- definitely want Seasons 4 and 5)
Diff'rent Strokes (Whatchoo talking 'bout, Sony? Where's Seasons 3-8?)
ALF (It'd be great to have the unedited DVD release- but it looks doubtful that it will ever happen- so may just have to learn to live with the edited version...)
Happy Days (Seasons 5-11 -another classic that needs to get released in full)
Mork & Mindy (Only need Season 4 to finish it up! Shazbot! Come on, Orson, you nudnik! Nanu Nanu! ;-))
Laverne & Shirley (It'd be great to see this series wrapped up too)
Growing Pains (definitely want to see Seasons 2-7 get released, as well as the reunion TV-movies)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (seriously- it's a classic! Finish this one up, please.)
The Bob Newhart Show (ditto)
Newhart (still lots of great seasons' worth to go! This is worth releasing if only for the series finale! Definitely one of the greatest episodes of TV!)
Perfect Strangers (We got Seasons 1 and 2, where's the rest? Don't be ridiculous! Now let's see Seasons 3-8 so we can do the dance of joy!)
Who's The Boss? (Ay! Oh! Oh! Ay! Where's Seasons 2-8?)
Good Morning, Miss Bliss (Saved By the Bell's predecessor)- (Come on, we've got the original series, the College Years, the New Class and even the TV-movies- let's get Zack to pull off another super scheme and land us the episodes that kicked the whole thing off on DVD!)
Boy Meets World (Seasons 4-7 would rule!)
The Facts of Life (Seasons 4-9 please! I would've thought either Blair could use her prestige to get this going or Jo could threaten someone into action.;) )
Silver Spoons (The rest of the series would be great)
Benson (ditto)
Gimme a Break! (Only Season 1 in the US? Gimme a break! Let's get the rest of the series released!)
227 (Season 1's been out for a while now- where's the rest?)
A Different World (would like to see the rest of this get released too)
Welcome Back, Kotter (definitely want the rest of this series!)
WKRP in Cincinnatti (I really want to get the rest of this series on DVD too! I love this show!)

Batman (Holy legal battle tie-up, Batman! I don't exactly count this as a sitcom, but for comic book fans, it would be a thrill to have Adam West as Batman on DVD!)
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (Again, not a sitcom- but I definitely want to see Season 3 released to finish this classic show up!)
While I'm on non-sitcoms, I'd also love to see Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, Turbo Teen, Kidd Video, Lazer Tag Academy, The New Archies, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock (cartoon series), and so many other classic '80s cartoons and shows get released. And Sesame Street- Old School Volume 3. And classic '80s action/sci-fi shows like Automan, Manimal, Street Hawk, Misfits of Science, Otherworld, The Phoenix, Probe, Tales of the Golden Monkey, Starman, My Secret Identity, Danger Bay, Sidekicks and the rest of Hunter.
I'd also like to see the MacGyver TV-movies get released separately from the Complete Series set. And Early Edition Seasons 2-4!
And complete series sets for Super Force, Dark Justice, The Hat Squad and Nightman would be great. And Eek!Stravaganza (classic FOX cartoon- one of few, really. ;-))
And The Amazing Spider-Man (live action '70s US show) And The Famous Five (1970s series- and the '90s series too, for that matter)
And The Hardy Boys ('60s cartoon series)
And Ferris Bueller (yes, the TV series) and Parker Lewis Can't Lose. (love this show!)

Small Wonder (I'd love to see this complete series get released!)
Out of this World (complete series would be great)
The Wonder Years (a classic for both the '60s and '80s generation! I'd love to see this whole series get released!)
Family Matters (I'd love to see all 9 seasons released!)
Just the Ten of Us (It'd be nice to see this Growing Pains spin-off released in full)
The Boys Are Back (I enjoyed this back in 1994- it'd be nice to see it again in a complete series set)
Step By Step (this would be great to have released in full)
Hanging With Mr. Cooper (another full series set waiting to happen)
Aliens in the Family (a Jim Henson classic! It'd be great to see it released in full)
Muppets Tonight (There's only 2 seasons- let's get this Jim Henson classic out there too!)
The Muppet Show (definitely want to see Seasons 4-5, hopefully with more great extras, like "Of Muppets and Men", "The Muppets Go to the Movies" and "The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show".)
Little Muppet Monsters (it would be incredible to see this whole series get released!)
Fraggle Rock (I'd like to see Seasons 4-5 released in a separate set from the Complete Series set)
Going Places (I'd love to see this whole series released on DVD! One of my favorite short-lived TGIF shows!)
The Baby-Sitters Club (cute 13 episode series from 1990- it's been out on VHS- I'm surprised it hasn't jumped to DVD yet- surely there's a fanbase for it, with the enormous popularity of the book series)
Valerie (AKA Valerie's Family AKA The Hogan Family) (Great '80s classic- let's get it released already!)
Webster (I'd love to see this whole series get released!)
Head of the Class (another favorite '80s series of mine!)

I'm sure there's still others too.

[Pavan]

Aaron, list your shows in ONE post. Don't keep replying over and over with one show.

[Scoobiedoo30]

hey Pavan After I got done with my list I kept thnking of more DVDs for 2009.

[TeeVeeCloset]

Don't mean to butt in, this is Pav's territiory, but just a suggestion, you can go back and edit your original post and add or change things instead of creating another one, I always add to my posts later on if I forgot something originally or to fix grammer, etc.

[ekkostar]

I'm going to buy S2 of Night Court and Volume 4 of American Dad when they come out. I'm still waiting for the cover art for American Dad because It's usually out by now.
