My favorite television show from the 80's THE EQUALIZER starring Edward Woodward has long been missing from DVD, but then I looked at ComingSoon.net and there it is, being released in February, 2008. Thank You, thank you, thank you.

i could see a Speed Racer box set with the movie being released, Digimon (first series) would also be very nice. i don't want to sound stupid, but is there a Johnny Quest box set out there??? i mean its an ovious choice to release on DVD, but i've just never seen one.
i know they're all cartoons but the live-action series that i would buy on DVD i already own...except for That's So Raven, but i don't see that one being released ever.

I think he means the whole TV show... I would love to see that one as well!dvdjunkie wrote:Ktrek wrote:

I'd like to see some comprehensive, chronological, definitive releases of The Jack Benny Program, The George Burns And Gracie Allen Show and The Bob Cummings Show (Love That Bob) - all of which seem to be permanently doomed to nasty scrappy PD releases for the forseeable future. Season sets of The Phil Silvers Show (Bilko). Some legit releases of The Carol Burnett Show would be welcome, too.
I'm very pleased to see that Perfect Strangers is about to make the leap onto DVD this February, and I'm hoping it sells well enough to keep the releases going until we get to the really classic episodes of the 4th and 5th seasons.
Further afield, I'd love to see some releases of complete shows by Wayne & Shuster. (Drat you, Canada! Appreciate your comedy heritage!)

I think you are the one living under a ROCK! This thread is called... and I QUOTE..."What kind of old tv series that you want to see on DvD!. Did you notice the words TV SERIES? It did NOT say MOVIES! The 1966 Batman TV series is not likely now nor ever to see the light of day on DVD period!

I hate to disagree with you but we will not. There are way too many obstacles in the way. There is first of all the issue that Fox owns the syndication rights and Warner owns the rights to the characters. There is a problem with licensing the original music, both themes music and original singing guest stars. There is also the problem of so many many guest stars and their residuals and tons of other legal issues. No I'm afraid that when Warner stated that releasing Batman would not be economical nor feasible they knew what they were talking about and there is no way that Warner will allow FOX to release it. There is a lot that has been written about this subject by people in the know and just some searching on Google could get you more well informed.memnv wrote:I think we will see the Adam West Batman series one day, maybe when Dark Knight comes out on dvd, lets keep our fingers crossed
Fortunately I have a access to the shows and even though they are not the very best quality they are quite watchable. So at least I have my Batman to enjoy!
