In another thread, I opined that "It's Your Move," a short-lived sitcom starring Jason Bateman, that aired on NBC during the 1984-85 season, deserved to be released on DVD (despite the fact that it "died" after one season and is probably still beloved only by a hardcore, cult audience).

 

I'm curious, though, whether we can think of any other short-lived and/or long-forgotten shows that haven't been released as of yet on DVD but definitely need to be.  (I mean, for God's sake, if they can put out "My Mother, the Car"....)

 

(As always, if this has been done before, just merge this thread with the other.)

Aside from "It's Your Move"...

 

"He & She"

"My World and Welcome to It"

"Open All Night"

"The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd"

"The Slap Maxwell Story"

Also, can someone move this thread to "Primetime Oxides" where it belongs?  My bad.

FLAMINGO ROAD!!

 

James at 15
Harper Valley PTA
Private Benjamin
Lucas Tanner
The New Dick Van Dyke Show
California Fever
The Ropers

The Filmation Flash Gordon cartoon series and the TV movie it spun out of.   The TV movie is good stuff (and of course on youtube) 

Cliffhangers.   This was a brief show in the late 70s which had serialized stories, including one about Dracula in modern times

 

I'll Fly Away, for sure. A brilliant series that ended way too soon.

And for something on the opposite side of the spectrum, Two of a Kind (say what you will about the Olsen twins, the adult actors MADE that show).

There are so many I would love to see. I'm sure there are more, but - in no particular order - here are the ones I'd be most interested in (sticking just with comedies, or the list would be even longer):

The Good Life (not the UK sitcom that's already available as Good Neighbors; I'm talking about the 1-season Larry Hagman/Donna Mills sitcom)
Harper Valley PTA
Duet / Open House
Temperatures Rising
Chico and the Man
Mr. President
The New Dick Van Dyke Show
House Calls
Teachers Only
Hot L Baltimore
Oh Madeline
Goodnight, Beantown
Here We Go Again
Frank's Place (I recall that it was considered for DVD a few years ago, but music would have needed to be replaced.)
Sanford
He & She
Big Brother Jake
E/R (the sitcom with George Clooney; not the drama with George Clooney)
Roc
Good and Evil
Women of the House

I still remember really liking Safe Harbor on The WB there back in 1999 that had Rue McClanahan as the grandmother and a young Chyler Leigh as some barely legal junkie living with a family in a Florida motel. I think it was created by Brenda "Cookies" Hampton herself but the show was a lot less preachy like 7th Heaven was.
