Both the 1969 and 1994 versions were released on DVD and are currently in print:

This iRiff will only be on sale for another few hours. Get it while it's cheap!

A 3rd Pete & Pete volume, and Joe Schmoe season 2 are, as mentioned, way overdue.
Also, King of the Hill abruptly dropped off on DVD releases after season 6.
Malcolm in the Middle released 1 season, like 7 years ago and never another.
The Simpsons needs to work faster if they want to catch up.  They also need to work on their packaging.

And on the flip side of that coin.... 24 season 7 is available for pre-order on Amazon.com, even though they haven't even started airing the season yet.  I'm pretty sure they haven't even finished producing it either (based on some of the special features in past seasons, I don't think they finish until mid-April).

Also:

Leonard Part 1
Leonard Part 2
Leonard Part 3
Leonard Part 4
Leonard Part 5
and
Buckaroo Banzai Versus the World Crime League.

WTF, Tinsel Town... I just saw a commercial for JAG on DVD. WHY THE FUCK IS JAG ON DVD AND SO MANY GOOD SHOWS AREN'T?? Show me one JAG fan, I dare you!

Tripe

I don't have a picture of her but Ann's grandmother digs the show. She's also a huge fan of "Reilly", the man who's looking out for you, so make of that what you will.

I'm a fan of Catherine Bell...

Catherine Bell I'll give you, but there has to have been bigger demand for shows on DVD than JAG.

Yeah, where I work I get to work with all the TV DVDs...real happy all of Incredible Hulk is out now.  Lots of fun to watch.

Did an quick search (just couldn't bring myself to go through all 9 pages) and didn't see a single hit for the third season of Upright Citizens Brigade.  Comedy Central apparently hated this show, and is only releasing seasons based on achieving some set number of sales (the first set came out in 2000, the second set I think six years later) that only they deem worthy.  Shame, too, since season 3 has some of the best skits: Werewolf Sex, The Fat Camp, Pro Thunderball, Good-Evil Logroll, and Mike the Astronaut.  And it's not like putting out the set is going to hurt anybody...it's the last freaking season of the show, and it's not even that long.

But as for stuff that is on DVD before other titles: Can somebody explain to me why Hawaii Five-O is out on DVD?  I'm sure it's a good show and all, but aren't there other things to worry about first?  I do believe firmly in the whole restoration and preservation ideal (I'd love to do some of that work myself), but come on.

I suppose it's on DVD for the same reason that 'Here's Lucy' and 'Archie Bunker's Place' are out.  Though, thankfully, it does seem that they aren't in a hurry to release 'After M*A*S*H'.

I wonder why the 2003 and 2004 are the only WSOP events that are on DVD?   You can find them at Amazon.com.

ESPN used to have a website for their sports DVDS (www.championshipdvd.com) but that site no longer exists.
