I have a pretty good collection, but I would still like to see these titles released in their entirety:

I'd love to see this show complete from episode 1 again. Great memories of staying up late Friday nights in the early 80's watching this show.

Apparently, this show still airs on a local Chicago station.

It aired briefly on a Detroit station(WKBD chn.50 from 1981-82') and I remember having a blast watching this. Gave me a true love for both classic horror movies(Hammer, Universal) and comedy.

I talked to Sven directly a few years ago, he said when his contract expired, the station destroyed every one of his shows. So it doesn't even exist anymore. Sad.
But did the Master tapes really get thrown in the dumpster? Seems to me the janitor of the station might have taken the time to salvage them, possibly to sell down the line. Sorry, I'm an optimist.

Grizzly Adams. Used to air Saturday nights right before the Muppet Show. Guilty pleasure, I'd love to see it on dvd.

My World and Welcome To It
1969 sitcom starring William Windom as a writer/cartoonist who is a bit of a misogynist, in spite of his beautiful, loving wife and intelligent daughter. Based on the writings and cartoons of James Thurber.

I know there's a bootleg of DRIVE floating around that includes the unaired episodes. I would bet that the same source also has JOHN DOE.

I know, I own them. DOH!

Also, I wonder if there's anyway to improve the visual quality of WKRP. I know the show was taped on, well, videotape, so I'm not sure how much more could be done.

A lot of old TV shows bought music rights only for broadcast of the show. DVD rights have to be sought and these are difficult (usually too expensive.)

There are usually bootlegs out there (bittorrent), but that might bring copyright cops down on you.

I have Frank's Place on DVD via "some guy on the Internet"...

The quality is so-so, but it was a great show!

I believe an official release is also held up by the music rights.
