The stuff that's available, I don't wish for because it could be had. The things that aren't available... well... I agree with Purplebelly on Wonderfalls and with Tomerai on The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
I would only add:
American Gothic
Profit

For real stuff:
Buffy seasons 1-7
Angel Seasons 1-5
The Prisoner: The Complete Series
Nowhere Man, complete series (I dunno if there is a DVD collection of this)
Stargate, all seasons
Unbreakable
X-Men 1.5
Spider-Man 1 & 2
My So-Called Life complete series
The Princess Bride
Sliders, seasons 1-3 (after about halfway through season 3 it just sucked hard, but before that I enjoyed it)
For made up stuff, lets echo Firefly Seasons 1-7
Angel Season 6
Maybe a revised Angel Season 5, along the lines of http://www.livejournal.com/users/newnumber6/84399.html
MSCL Season Two to Four
An alternate Universe Sliders, season 3 and beyond (see
http://www.livejournal.com/users/newnumber6/59626.html ) for my own ideas on what it should have been
Hmmm... probably more, but that's all I can think of for now.

First, stuff that does exist, but can't be found:
1. COMMLINK FTL NEWSFEED: These were one-minute news updates from 150 years in the future that were broadcast daily on the Sci-Fi channel for 2-3 years; they were entertaining, satirical, and cleverly written, with story arcs that would develop slowly over weeks, months, even years! Some of the best SF ever broadcast, in my opinion, and not available in any format.
2. NEWCAST FROM THE PAST: FTL's opposite number, from some Texas PBS station in the mid-1980's. Each half-hour broadcast would pick a date from history, and present world news, complete with gratuitous location shots, and period commercials. {"Gunpowder! Because second best gets you dead!"}
Secondly, stuff that doesn't exist, at least not in this space-time continuum, but should:
1. John Ford's 1949 production of Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King starring Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne. Ford reportedly tried like hell for years, but could never get the two actor's schedules to synchronize.
2. Frank Capra's The Devil and Mr. Potter, an unproduced sequel to "It's a Wonderful Life." The plot was that Lucifer comes for Potter's soul, which is his because of the only actual crime the old miser ever committed -- the theft of that $5,000.00 that rightfully belonged to the Savings & Loan. Clarence intervenes, winning Potter 24 hours in which he has to recover the money. The catch is, just like George in the first film, everyone's memory of his existence has been erased, as if he'd never been born, forcing Potter to see what the world would be like without him. This film exists only as memories of a rough outline never further developed because the first film (like so many family classics) tanked at the box office on its original release.
3. The Marx Brothers in Horseback Salad Salvador Dali's unscripted (but heavily illustrated) concept for a film staring the famous trio.
4. Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, based on the script by Harlan Ellison. The script was published in Asimov's SF Magazine sometime in the 1990's, and would have made a much better film than the Will Smith version, whose only saving grace was Alan Tudyk's virtual performance.
5. Buckaro Banzai Versus The World Crime League. Enough Said.

We all know the complete Wonderfalls series is coming out on February 1, right? Complete, with the 9 produced but never-aired episodes. With commentary on 6 episodes with Caroline Dhavernas, a 23-minute featurette, and a music video.
I've also read Space: Above and Beyond is in the planning stages for a 2005 release.
And whoever mentioned V, the complete miniseries movies are available, as is the short-lived TV series that lasted a season.
But I would definitely love to have Brisco County Jr. and Profit. And American Gothic, because I love Gary Cole, and Lucas Black was fantastic in his role as Caleb. And Profit had Adrian Pasdar and Keith "Holtz" Szarabajka! Classic!
David Greenwalt, are you reading this? Go talk to someone about Profit, man!!

Psst... Wonderfalls *is* coming out on DVD. Amazon is currently accepting pre-orders. It was originally slated for a December 7th release, but was bumped back to February.
Me? I'd like to see MST3K packaged in full season sets, for reasonable prices. (Although it'll never happen, since they need the rights to the films used)
Also, Whose Line is it Anyway?
Thundercats (was my favorite cartoon series, but it's never been put out)
A collection of Oingo Boingo music videos (and while I'm at it, the uncut Farewell concert)
And several anime series, such as Hunter X Hunter.
As far as DVDs that DO exist I want -
All Buffy and Angel season sets
Farscape (thank TPTB for the Starburst editions.. it's finally affordable)
Babylon 5
Wonderfalls (like I said, it will exist soon)
Possibly Star Trek TNG and DS9. Haven't seen much of them, but they're decent. ;)
Monty Python
Complete Blackadder
More MST3K (but the sets only have 4 eps, and are too expensive)
The Soap season sets
Many of these I am planning to buy soon, others - such as Babylon 5, I'll add to my collection eventually. The Star Treks are just a minor interest in having, not sure I need to own them - and especially not seasons like TNGs first.

Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths, and Legends, the complete series. (Really cool American cartoon series, from 2000-2001, like a cross between X-Files, Buffy, and MiB. Seriously, this gem is screaming for a DVD release.)
Invasion America, the complete series. (The other really cool American SF cartoon.)
Gargoyles, S2 & S3. (S1 is already out, and I do want it, if only to give Buena Vista the impetus to release the next seasons.)
Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers. (Even if only to rent; I just wanna see it, is that so frellin' wrong?!?)
Farscape: PeaceKeeper Wars. (Again, I just wanna see it.)
Just about anything animé, most notably Yukikaze, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Azumanga Daioh (shutup), Evangelion Platinum Edition, etc. . .
All thes animé titles exist, of course, I just don't have money.

Invasion America...that miniseries kicked ass. I actually taped the whole thing, because I knew I wanted to keep it. Hmm, I wonder where it is....
