Hearing the great news about Parker Lewis Can’t Lose launched me on a mission to find other forgotten television show gems that aren’t yet available on DVD.
Very few worthy lists of this nature exist online, and even this excellently argued stab falters (is anyone really clamoring for a China Beach DVD?). Also, the number of worthy programs egregiously missing from the DVD aisle is rapidly dwindling: 2009 alone saw the DVD releases of parts or entire series runs of The State, Family Ties, WKRP in Cincinnati, Silver Spoons and It’s Garry Shandling’s Show. Still, some gems have been forgotten.
