I can't believe I forgot to put these on my list,
Muppet Babies
Thundercats
Gentle Ben
Pugwall
Skippy the bush kangaroo
The Raccoons
Hangin with Mr Cooper
Blossom
The Cosby Show
I also used to like a couple of tv shows but I can't remember their names.
One (possibly called kelly) was Australian (I think) and revolved around a dog, sort of like a Lassie theme but different breed of dog.
The other one was like Snow White but a family was stuck in our time. All I can remember is that these people came from out of some kind of vortex- in the opening credits- and basically landed on the side of a main road. There was even a magic mirror and one of the characters used to do the whole "Mirror, Mirror, On the wall" speech. I have no idea what that was called except I really used to love watching that.

3rd Rock From The Sun and The Muppet Babieswould all be great, too! Oh, and the more recent Land of the Lost show would be cool, too. I forgot Dinosaurs as well- all of TGIF needs to be on DVD. I'll go back and add all these.

Yes, but sometimes I prefer to buy the region 1 releases as they are occasionally better than some that we get. At the moment I am mainly concentrating on disney as there are loads that I want to get.

There are three animated shows from the 80's and early 90's I want released that if nothing else were ever released from that era I could die in peace.

1. Garfield and Friends - Volume One is out, but I'll always be worried about them stopping production until all 5 volumes are out.

2. Real Ghostbusters - I could care less about the show in it's other incarnations {Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters or Extreme Ghostbusters}. If they release at least the first two seasons, I will be thrilled.

3. Muppet Babies - I watched it recently {the DVD's released with the toys} and I have to tell you I'd enjoy watching these as a parent just as much as i did when i was a kid.

Other notables - Teenage mutant ninja turtles - hopefully we'll see more releases for the original cartoon. i'd really only want the syndicated version, after a year the move to saturday morning made it a campy carbon copy thereof {see Ghostbusters}.

Captain N - The game master.

Ducktales - The series that really put Disney tv animation back on the map. Take one look at that two hour pilot and it's pure gold {no pun intended}. I have all the episodes thanks to kazaa {when it was around} but i'd love to see a DVD release of the highest quality.

Chip N' Dale - An excellent followup series in it's own right.

Talespin - A little bit of a step down from the other two but not by much. A wonderful universe set in a fantasy 1930's theme. Originally intended as a spinoff for launchpad.

Darkwing Duck - A nice cartoon set in the ducktales universe, though this is where you can see Disney started to cut back a little on their animation budgets.

Goof troop - certainly revived goofy's career.

there are others, but these are probably at the top of the list.

Well, aside from the Disney series that everyone has been mentioning, the only other series I can think of right now that I really would like to have on a DVD set would be Max Headroom. Not the talk show, but the science fiction series with Edison Carter from Network 23.

I don't know how I forgot about The Drew Carey Show, but it needs to be on DVD!

I would also like to see "Best Of" DVDs for daily talk shows (The Best of Letterman, The Best of The Rosie O'Donnel Show, The Best of The Ellen Show, The Best of the Rush Limbaugh Show, The Best of the Whoopi Goldberg Show)... those would be the ones I'd want to see.

Maerj I heard Max Headroom will never be released on DVD. Apparently research showed that there was a problem with the 'blip-verts' in the first episode. The studio just doesn't want to risk any law suits should any DVD viewers' heads explode upon repeated viewing.

Two more that have come to mind: Moesha and The Parkers. I'd definitely buy these, especially the former.

Batman (the original series) would make a great release, as well. According to TVShowsonDVD.com, they are still working out licensing disputes over those.

The problem with the Batman series is Fox made the shows, but DC Comics (read Warner Bros) owns the character Batman.

The official story is Warner don't want the series released because the campy nature distracts from their character - who is all dark and mysterious these days.

Personally I think the story is Warner are using that as an excuse to press for more money. After all Warner actually made Batman and Robin. :roll:
