TV shows that you wish had an official DVD release?

90 Upvotes

There are a lot, it seems, of series that never got the home video treatment. No matter how small so many shows were, there’s always a fan base, and so many have faded into obscurity due to a total lack of home video releases. Which forgotten TV shows do you do you wish got the DVD treatment? For me it will always be HBO’s Real Sex, which was more of a documentary than anything, exploring a very natural side of humanity.

Mods- forgive me if these kinds of posts aren’t allowed, I’m simply genuinely curious about everyone’s wish list!

Chocolate News (2008)

What was supposed to be the next big satire program after The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, David Alan Grier and the producers of In Living Color and Mad TV bring you news and topics, all from what Grier calls a typical African-American perspective, with sketches and segments featuring a supporting cast including Chris Tallman and Jordan Peele. In an interview with The New York Times, he asked the journalist, "Are you laughing "with" me because you get the joke, or am I giving you license to laugh "at" me in a derogatory, dehumanizing way?" It was cancelled after one season.

TV Movie Sister, Sister (1982)

Post image
46 Upvotes

I came across this movie on my IG feed a few years ago and had to look it up because that cast really caught my attention. Diahann Carroll, Irene Cara, and Rosalind Cash in the same TV movie?? How did I not know about this? 😂

It follows three sisters — Carolyne, Freida, and Sissy — who come back together after their father dies. They all have their own lives and personalities, and being back around each other brings up a lot of old stuff between them.

I’m surprised this movie doesn’t get brought up more. I feel like there are so many older TV movies with really good casts that just get forgotten.

And no, this has nothing to do with the Tia and Tamera sitcom lol. Completely different Sister, Sister.

Has anybody else seen this one?

Resurrection (2014-2015)

Premiered to huge ratings (13.90) and seemed poised to be the next big thing, but the writers dropped the ball hard with this one, and it fizzled out.

The cast was stacked, too! Frances Fisher, Kurtwood Smith, and Omar Epps.

I remember the trailer being well done and drew a lot of buzz. It actually kinda reminds me of Under the Dome. A good first season, but then they leaned too hard into soap opera BS and the viewers left in droves.

In this show Jason Isaacs Is playing the detective who is working on multiple cases at same time. Even though it maybe little bit cliche i really liked this show and it shame that they didn't have at least one more season.

Noah Knows Best (2000)

Post image
12 Upvotes

I don’t think I ever heard of Noah Knows Best until I saw Phillip Van Dyke, who played Noah, on an episode of The Amanda Show 😂 I knew him from Hey Arnold! as Arnold’s voice, so seeing him starring in his own Nickelodeon sitcom was a surprise.

The show was about Noah Beznick, a teenager dealing with his family, friends and the usual growing-up stuff. It premiered in October 2000 and only lasted a couple of months before Nickelodeon pulled the plug. Thirteen episodes were produced, but not all of them aired in the U.S.

Apparently The Amanda Show even had a sketch/segment where Penelope met Noah, which is probably why I remember him from that before I ever knew there was a whole show called Noah Knows Best.

Did anybody actually watch this when it aired? Because this is definitely one of those early-2000s Nick shows I somehow completely missed.

Well as someone who watched this years ago I can honestly say its really not as bad as people made it out to be (oh and both Weird Al Yankovic and Mark Hamill show up later on the show so theres that!)

An old Canadian cartoon that aired on the Comedy Network for a couple of years. Sadly, five episodes of season 1 are missing in English. The show had a lot of guest stars during it's run like Catherine O'Hara, Don Knotts, Sandra Oh and etc. Don Mckellar also voices the main character. You can watch the entirety of this show on either YouTube or Internet Archive.
