Best12, I am a little scared that Florence Henderson's outfit is going to eat me in that Brady Bunch picture.

Well, St. Elsewhere season one comes out on November 28th, and The Swan (complete series) is out on DVD on October 24th. Alice has released a seven episode "best of" dvd as a test to see what the market of interest is.

Not sure what the definition of flop is, but some of the shows mentioned in this thread had multiple season runs. I don't remember if anyone actually answered Rath's question about SCTV; but yes, the 90 minute NBC shows are on DVD. I'd love to have the Cinemax shows, as they were among my favorites.

1979's short lived DOROTHY which starred Dorothy Loudon and is speculated to be the inspiration for THE FACTS OF LIFE.

How about "704 Hauser" (1994)

Norman Lear-created show about a pollitically-correct family that moves into Archie Bunker's old house (they used the original All in the Family sets)

The then unknown Maura Tierney played the young daughter who was dating the black guy next door (in George Jefferson's old house) She of course went on to News Radio and now ER.

Raviolisun,

Life as We Know It actually IS available on DVD...check Amazon.

My vote is for Relativity. GREAT show with David Conrod (now on Ghost Whisperer), Kimberly Williams, and Devon Gummersall (Brian Krakow on "My So-Called Life" all buffed out.

I must say, with this thread, you can actually pinpoint how old you all are.

If The Brady Bunch Hour could be put on DVD, maybe there could be a mini documentary on "The Fake Jan" Geri Reighel.

I'd also like a dvd of "The Brady's" which was a VERY serious drama. It had Bobby in a wheelchair, for goshsakes!!! AND Marcia was an alcoholic for 5 minutes!!!

AND Jan was the normal one!!!!!!!
