TV shows you wish you could find but they are gone, gone...

They finally got China Beach in production... I heard it was music rights that took so long. 

I wish I could get the later seasons of Just Shoot Me and Dharma and Greg. They did the first few, but never the rest of the seasons.

I loved Dharma and Greg but never have looked for that one again. How mean to only release a part of the show!

Two years ago they ran the whole series during the daytime on one of the cable channels.  I set it to record & really enjoyed it.  Funny stuff.

I want the latest season of Arrested Development that is only on Netfix to be available on cable.

LOL This is the exact reason that Cold Case will never be available on DVD. The music rights are too expensive. I have always wondered why though. Didn't they already pay for the music rights when they made the shows? Why would they have to pay for them again?

One Day At A Time and Knots Landing, they have only released the 1st season of each and that was a couple of years ago. I want more!!!

I loved China Beach.

Mash was a classic, and the ending was special.

Anyone remember the Bob Newhart show? It was after his first series. Anyway here is the final:

"The Last Newhart"
(Top) Dick Loudon is hit by a golf ball. (Bottom) Dr. Robert Hartley wakes up & tells his wife about the dream he had, of living in an inn in Vermont.

The series finale of Newhart, entitled "The Last Newhart", has been described as one of the most memorable in television history.[3][4] The entire town is purchased by a visiting Japanese tycoon, who turns the hamlet into a huge golf course and recreation resort. Dick and Joanna are the only townspeople who refuse to leave. The others accept huge payoffs and leave in a farewell scene which parodies Fiddler on the Roof.

Five years later, Dick and Joanna continue to run the Stratford Inn, which is now located in the middle of the golf course. The other townspeople, now richer and odder than before, unexpectedly return for a reunion. The Darryl brothers also speak for the first time on screen (loudly yelling "QUIET!" in unison). Dick gets frustrated with the increasingly chaotic scene, eventually storming out shouting "You're all CRAZY!" only to be knocked out by a golf ball.

The final scene takes place in a setting previously seen on The Bob Newhart Show. Bob Newhart reprises the role of Dr. Bob Hartley, with Suzanne Pleshette returning to play Emily, Hartley's wife. Hartley wakes up and explains his weird dream, apparently revealing that the entire Newhart series was just a dream in his head. This parodies the infamous Dallas "Dream Season" from a few years earlier, (and possibly the last episode of St. Elsewhere, in which the entire series turns out to be the imagination of an autistic child). There are several references to Newhart's former show, including the use of its theme song and credits (although this was removed for syndicated reruns). In the MTM logo shown after the closing credits, Mimsie the Cat says what the Darryls shouted in the series finale.

I remember Newhart! Larry, Daryl and Daryl? Right...

Yep and I have them all!

Oh and I have been waiting for like 2 years for them to release the last season of Mad About You on DVD.

about no Cold Case on DVD. I didn't watch it when it was during prime time, but will watch it when it's on reruns.
