Lou Grant was a well-written, well-acted drama and one of the rare cases where a sitcom character transitioned into a drama successfully.  I'd buy it. 

They did that with Trapper John, M.D. too. They should release that seeing as how there are so many M*A*S*H DVDs.

 And (it might already have been released) "After- M*A*S*H"

Sadly, AfterMASH has yet to make it to DVD....

Maybe Fox will relent and finally release AfterMASH eventually....along with the "WALTER" pilot film.

I have a few AfterMASHes I recorded off KCBS. I heard that W*A*L*T*E*R was pre-empted on the west coast and mountain time zones due to the Democratic National Convention coverage.

I've seen various episodes of Shower of Stars on Public Domain DVDs..Sherlock Holmes if you are talking about the 1950's syndicated series, that's also available..

The Science Fiction Theater DVDs sounded like they came from one of the less reputable companies that sell pirated copies. Unfortunately with many of these shows this may be the only way they'll ever be released on DVD.

More like someone's old VHS recordings transferred to DVD.  Some still have the station bug on screen.  And, unfortunately, this series is in B&W so has very limited chances to ever be put out on quality DVD's.  I guess there is a limited market of us olde fartes who don't mind watching B&W.

If you REALLY have a hankering to see this series again shoot me a PM.

Don't know if it was mentioned, but is the John Corbett series Lucky available on DVD?  I loved that show.  It was a 30 minute one on FX.

Apparently not...

Any 1960s talk show that wasn't Tonight, Mike Douglas, or Merv Griffin. Examples: Pat Boone In Hollywood, The Gypsy Rose Lee Show, and Here's Barbara.

...not too sure I'd be interested in those shows, but I would be curious to see what Les Crane's ABC late night try and the first year or so of The David Frost Show were like. I know Frost repackaged some of his material for the old CBS Eye on People/DiscoveryPeople cable channel, but have never seen a complete original program in his U.S. series, nor do I know whether any of Crane's stuff survives. Also curious to see what Jackie Gleason's talker (which replaced You're In the Picture) was like, too...

My choice would be "The Paul Lynde Show", ran 1972-73 on ABC. Hilarious "filmed in front of a live audience" sitcom, crushed in the ratings by "Adam-12". There are unauthorized versions floating out there in cyberspace, but I'd like to see Sony give it a proper release, I'd buy it the day of release!

What's your choices?  Cheesy

They could put Blansky's Girls on DVD or the HBO series First and Ten.

First and Ten was released on DVD, all butchered up, music rights. They had tons of those at Big Lots for the longest time.  Embarrassed
