those shorts that were remastered for Golden Collection Volume 2 apparently got dumped onto iTunes either last year or this year. The whole story behind Volume 2's cancellation is due to the omission of two shorts-Casanova Cat and Mouse Cleaning, both have extended blackface gags that would be difficult to remove (according to rumors there was one person in WB's legal department who vowed those two cartoons would never be released as long as they worked there)and once the list of included shorts came out and fans saw those two were missing(after both had been painstakingly restored too) they review-bombed the Amazon page with angry one-star reviews(Jerry Beck even expressed surprise at this as he'd written liner notes for both shorts)and the backlash was so bad WB indefinitely post-poned the DVD release.
I don't understand why they thought that the gags in Cassanova Cat and Mouse Cleaning were so bad when there are worse, specifically the horrible His Mouse Friday.
@@itsjoshua2508 I don't get it either, a number of people on a reddit thread I found said the same thing. In those two shorts the problematic stuff are just one-off gags while the entire plot of His Mouse Friday is problematic as hell.
I would guess Disney needs to revive the DVD releases of The Muppet Show's last two seasons, and rerelease Season 1 with unedited episodes with Joel Grey, Jim Nabors, Paul Williams, Charles Aznavour, and Vincent Price.
They got everything wrong that the HD upconversions of *Monty Python’s Flying Circus* and *Fraggle Rock* got right. Needless to say, Disney had nothing to do with either of those.
The Adventures of Pete and Pete...the third and final season. I remember it being available for pre-order, I remember seeing the cover art, and then...it just vanished, never to be released. I wish Shout! Factory could license it to release, like they have for some other series releases abandoned by their primary distributors.
In 2010, Warner Bros was originally going to release an adult collector’s DVD of the Looney Tunes cartoons from the unofficial group, The Censored Eleven. These eleven cartoons were made between 1931-1944 and they were all banned from television since 1968 because of black stereotypes being the main plot of those cartoons. The DVD was cancelled because of changing cultural sensitivities and the declining sales of DVDs. They were instead shown at the TCM Film Festival as a special event in the same year.
That decree occurred when United Artists, which was co-founded by the director or *Birth of a Nation,* still held the copyright on pre-1948 WB features and short subjects.
2:10 Disney were known for cancelling DVD sets if they did not sell well at that time, none of the Disney Afternoon shows were finished due to this reason
I had the Muppet Show dvds as a kid and watched them religiously but I was always sad that I never got to watch the last two seasons. Until they came to Disney+ and I finally got to binge the whole show
It’s not the “whole” show because there are still some edits and a whole episode removed because of a guest star who did bad things to children despite his material still being on the show in some form because he was also a writer for it.
I've noticed one DVD that never got released was Volume 7 of Looney Tunes Golden Collection since the 6th volume states it to be the last volume of the Golden Collection series, but despite this... Warner Home Entertainment later continued releasing DVDs that includes classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons with Platinum Collection and the recent Collector's Choice series being the most example.
One that's annoying for me is the DVD sets of the Viewtiful Joe anime. Only three volumes of the censored English dub made it to market before the distributor went bankrupt, and nobody's bothered to pick up the license since then for either DVD or streaming, leaving no legal way to watch this show in its entirety, and even if you want to sail the seven seas for a fansub of the uncut version, seemingly nobody has bothered to fansub either season outside of a very poor machine translation full of broken english.
Another cancelled Disney DTV sequel is Dumbo 2, that one actually got announced on some Disney home video releases and it got a decent way into production but Eisner's resignation pretty much sealed it's fate as Iger cancelled most Disney sequels in production except for ones that were pretty far along like Bambi 2 and Ariel's Beginning.
there was actually a cancelled TV movie called Dreams in the Attic starring Haylie Duff that was finished and was supposed to air on Disney Channel but Disney rejected it and it never found a distributor and remains unreleased to this day.
Aside from the 3 Spotlight Tom & Jerry Collections I have the 2-disc Chuck Jones set and downloaded the missing ones and Gene Deitch ones made in Prague for TV. I have DVDr discs full of unreleased animation by Warners, MGM, Disney, Fleischer, Lantz, Columbia, Terrytoons, UPA, etc.
About the Godzilla cartoon by Hanna-Barbera.... the three DVDs that got released cover HALF the series. It's 26 episodes but only 13 are on DVD (and as you said, Volume 3 is really hard to find). What I've heard is basically Toho somehow owns the rights to that cartoon and they basically don't like releasing it because its not *their* Godzilla, which I think is kind of lame. Honestly with some of the stuff like Tom and Jerry, I would think it has less to do with controversial subject matter and more to do with just that they put all those on streaming services and probably don't see a DVD set as a sound investment.
The Tom & Jerry Golden Collection was released on DVD & Blu-Ray in 2011. The Blu-Ray was rereleased by Warner Archive in 2020, after being out of print for several years.
The first time that I was ever in a Best Buy in the mid-90s, the bulk of that monstrous store was filled with movies and music in the center, and smaller electronics departments were on the outer walls. That location shut down 20 years ago. The last time that I was in a Best Buy in 2021, there was literally ONE short half-aisle hidden in the back corner with music on one side, movies on the other, and nothing beyond brand-new releases. Walmart has a superior selection, and their selection sucks.
I think DVDs should stick around because that's another way for the companies to make money because there are only so many people in this world to subscribe to a streaming service but physical media you can rerelease them anytime there is better viewing quality
Another is Disney's adventures of the gummi bears, volume 2, in the USA. Volume 1 released in 2008, and volume 2 set for 09 release, still never got a proper DVD release.
Even the Disney + uploads of seasons 4 to 6.5 have problems. I wish Disney just release the complete series, to DVD, bonus extras such as the da bumpers, interviews, and such. The volume 1 set also has a defect.
Mainly, it is because they are afraid releasing them will hurt their ESG score, and to a lesser extent they are afraid some whiny pearl clutching snowflake wuss will be offended and raise a stink about it on social media and it will become a news story.
Other DVDs that I wish would finish.... Conan the Adventuer: 3 volumes and just needed one more for the whole thing. Ducktales: Old show had 3 volumes and just needed one more, The new show got it worse though The Adventures of the Gummi Bears: released half, never did the rest Men in Black the series: Season one came out, no more after, have a feeling it is the same fokes as The Mask. Jackie Chan Adventures: They put out a DVD set from the middle of the show, nothing before, nothing after. That is what I can think of off the top of my head.
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide season 3 was supposed to be released around 2012. Never happened and now seasons 1 and 2 are out of print last I checked. Happy Days seasons 7 through 11 haven't been released due to poor sales from the previous seasons. Drew Carrey has only had one season released. Probably because of copyright issues with the music. And there are numerous episodes of Scooby-Doo from the 70s and 80s that have only been released on streaming platforms. Very sad. It sucks even more when the episodes of a show get edited for the DVD.
Nickelodeon with their live action shows on DVD is weird, because often the last season won't be on DVD, and some more obscure/not created by you know who shows downright don't get releases, which may be part on why those shows aren't as well recognized now.
True Lies was supposed to get a widescreen special edition in 2001 but it got cancelled cause of 9/11 as everyone thought it would be inappropriate to do a directors commentary on how fun it was to make a movie about terrorism.
Another release that got cancelled was “Werewolf” (which was actually one of the very first FOX shows), which was supposed to be released by Shout! Factory, but ended up getting cancelled because of music rights most likely.
There were also some sets that did get released but recalled very quickly due to certain issues-like the original Sleepaway Camp box set got quickly discontinued due to legal issues involving it's use of the Red Cross symbol, so they had re-do the set without the offending symbol. The original Puppet Master box set in the 2000s also got quickly cancelled once it was found out the company releasing it had no legal right to do so, but the order came so late that a few copies did find their way out into the wild. I was most annoyed by the cancelled release of the Ultimate Uncut DBZ Volume The Saiyan Prince(which apparently did come out in Latin American territories albeit only in Spanish dub form) and Volume 8 of Knights of the Zodiac-Brink of the Abyss.
Dragon Ball has such an absurd history of botched, cancelled, and discontinued DVD and Blu-Ray releases that it could get its own dedicated video. Pour one out for the DBZ Level Set blu-rays that got discontinued after a couple of volumes in favor of releasing Kai on blu-ray.
I buy most of my content on Blu-ray and sometimes on 4K UHD and DVD for older titles. I don’t use streaming services that much. I usually take them for granted. Digital streaming isn’t always reliable as I just learned.
In the early days of DVD, there were no "complete series" (unless the show only lasted a season). Following the trend that began on VHS, cartoons were usually packaged in short incomplete collections of just a few episodes, incentivizing parents to shell out money for multiple discs. If they didn't sell that well (Police Academy, The Mask, King Kong, and countless others), then you're S.O.L. Beetlejuice came much later and was OBSCENELY expensive when it was first released. As for The Mandalorian, it was one of the few shows on Disney+ that was actually successful, and since they've been hemorrhaging money lately, I guess they figured it was something they could make a profit on. God knows, they're not making money from people watching anything on Disney+.
Some of them didn’t sell because they were not carried in enough stores. I am still finding out about pre-DVD home video releases of TV shows that I had no idea about at the time because I never came across them for sale in the stores or for rental.
@@Attmay TV shows on VHS took up SO MUCH room. I bought two seasons of Highlander (to get the coat) but wound up returning the sets because they were HUGE boxes of VHS. I couldn't store it. I used to see them in second hand shops, but not much anymore.
Yeah, I remember waiting years for Tales from the Crypt to start releasing on DVD in season sets. HBO home video only put out a few individual DVDs, with three episodes each, loosely connected, such as 'The Robert Zemeckis Collection.' Pretty much the same thing they'd been doing on VHS. Same with Image's first Twilight Zone DVDs. 40 volumes, with no rhyme or reason to episode order.
@@jamesoblivion Ah, the Zemeckis Collection, that was in '99, full seasons of Crypt trickled out over a few years beginning in '05 (the complete series was repackaged about a decade later). It was the sales of The Best of Friends (4 volumes, of course!) in 2000-01 that really kicked off studio interest in releasing full seasons -- in 2002, the TV on DVD market began to explode. The complete Twilight Zone hit in 2006, retailing for $299 (I paid $150 for it a few years later, now it has a superior Blu-Ray for $75). Just looked it up, and the aforementioned complete series of Beetlejuice wasn't released until 2013, originally retailing for $99.99 (today, it's less than $25). Buying discs as soon as they were released was always a racket, but now that the market has shrunk, if you don't buy 'em new, they're suddenly out of print and being scalped online for 10 times the original price.
Randomly stumbled upon your channel and I love your content bro! Huge TV on dvd collector, and I agree that it’s a huge shame we never got seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show on physical media. And to this day, especially as a huge fan of the show, I’m still disappointed that the last two seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic never got a release either.
I'd like The Muppets. TV show on DVD. I'd pick it up. Of course, I'd also like a full show DVD set in some slim cases for the Muppets Show too. It feels like its been a while since the first three sets came out and I never could pick them up. Those are holes in my Muppets DVDs. IF Fraggle Rock can be completely in a box set, then surely Muppets. & Muppet Show & Dog City can be too!
So... that's it? No disc for "Do the Universe?" Fucking bastardice! One cancellation that still haunts me to this day is the Scream Factory attempt to release "Tattoo." And if you poke around AllMovie enough, you'll find bogus release listings for the likes of "A Love Song," "Bottoms," "True Identity," "Passed Away," "Tiger Town," and so on. And just yesterday, Kino Lorber Studio Classics ditched UHDs of "Duck, You Sucker" and "Charley Varrick." And I could go on...
Star Wars: Resistance only ever got a S1 DVD release, and the show lasted for 2 seasons, and to this day S2 still hasn’t been released. Also, they didn’t release the show on blu-ray compared to other Star Wars shows.
interesting fact about those Disney+ shows on blu ray and 4k, they were originally just going to be the cases. no discs. basically just something to sit on your shelf. people got rightfully mad and Disney eventually relented and put the discs in
The ones that really get to me are The Drew Carey Show (only season 1 got a release). And Quickdraw McGraw. Only a handful of episodes are ever released in compilation DVDs. They say Drew Carey is due to the music, and they're afraid the Quickdraw film is too grainy and brittle to transfer. At least that's what I was told.
Another release that got canceled was Wonder Showzen: The Complete Series Box Set it was scheduled for release on December 12, 2006, but it was cancelled. But a similar set eventually released on March 16, 2021.
Also, this video gave me a mandela effect. See, I recall actually seeing Mask: the Complete Animated Series (and I mean the green face guy, not the team with the vehicles). I even read it coming with the Ace Ventura episode that featured the Mask. I had looked at its Amazon store page several times and considered buying it... but now I see this video and suddenly, that release no longer exists and its just season one. Weird.
I liked the Mask cartoon better than the sequel Son of Mask movie. I'm not sure if I'd pick it up if I saw it, but I might. I haven't snapped up the Beatlejuice cartoon yet but I keep looking at it.
@@johnm.withersiv4352 I never saw Son of the Mask myself. When it comes to Hollywood, I tend to lose interest the minute a movie is about either dogs or babies, because both always entail gross-out humor, and from what I've heard that's exactly what happens in Son of the Mask. Beetlejuice for me was a strange case. I was a kid when it first aired on TV and I recall not liking it, but nowadays I'm more receptive and would like to get that DVD set eventually.
So this is why I can't find the new Beavis and Butthead movie and the complete season. Yes I totally agree with you it sucks because I really like Beavis and Butthead. I also hate when a first season of a show is released on dvd and then you can't find the rest of the series on DVD. Examples of this are Small wonder Seasons Three and Four, Unsolved Mysteries complete series, Life goes on Seasons 2-4 Rescue 911 with William shatner, Muppet Babies original 80s cartoon, Smurfs original 80s cartoon and E! True Hollywood Story these are just some and im sure that there are others
I am not sure if this is cancelled or not but one DVD that I wished would exist is Season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory. I got Season 1 on DVD and that is the only season that got an official release on DVD. Season 2 nor any of the other seasons have DVD releases. I don't know why that is though.
My guess as to why the last two seasons of the Muppet Show were never released: the music. A bunch of copyrighted songs that spanned from many decades of music. The fact that the show was put onto Disney Plus means they’re never coming out on DVD. The ones on Disney Plus are remastered but are missing several musical numbers. I have bootleg copies of the last two seasons. So I’m good.
Have the feeling that it comes to mone when we talk about the muppet show. Money, disney is not willing to dish out for some reaons of course. I mean there are various episodes even issing from streaming plattforms. Mostly from the later seasons. So maybe it is the star that has a problem with not getting any money when it woul dbe printed on a disc or streamed or the relatives if the star for the case said star is dead. Things do look different when it would be broadcast on tv, a reason you not see the show aired that often or mostly not after a spific season.
Like the Tom & Jerry Golden Collection sets, in 2011 FUNimation had started releasing Dragon Ball Z on Blu-Ray for the first time under the "Level Sets" where it the best transfer picture quality theres ever been but after releasing only 2 set they more on the way including cover arts for them they just canceled this line in favor of the widescreen orange brick version for Blu-Ray plus way in 2005-06 they had released the "Ultimate Uncut Edition" which they released a hand full only to cancel them for the Orange Brick sets in 2007.
I would love to see the first twelve seasons as well as the 18th season of The Simpsons on Blu-ray. And for this Simpsons blu-ray release, it should not be stretched to 16:9 widescreen and should be presented in its original aspect ratio. Not like what’s being shown on FXX, Disney Plus or Hulu. I would also love to see the rest of King of the Hill, the first half of Futurama and the first three seasons of Spongebob on Blu-ray. I would also like to see The Critic (1994) and Dilbert (1999) being released on Blu-ray as well.
One that hurts me is the second season of Code Monkey's. I saw the mock up of what it'd look like, but we never got it, meaning I can never officially finish that series. Now if we want to just talk about shows that never got any sort of DVD release period, I could give you a whole list of shows...
Don't Forget Dan Vs. because it got released as Season 1 DVD and it got cancelled for the Rest of the DVD Seasons, and so was the later DVD Seasons of The Simpsons. Wasn't sure if Family Guy DVDs sales got cancelled?
interesting video been collecting physical media since 95/96 (Everytime a new Home video format it seems like this creates a lot of talk about Physical media dying (The only real negative of Physical media is the tech itself and over saturation of various formats (Even though dvd’s were a massive mainstream thing it was just the Laserdisc format that mimic CD’s) Then when people got used to buying physical media at a fraction of the price of VHS/Laserdisc they created a HD format with Blu-Ray (Which seem to have confused the general population) It sucks when various studios don’t complete a tv series (Benson and Silver Spoons only had two seasons on dvd) my biggest gripe with any tv being put on dvd is when did it air if it was shoot in HD (Selling dvd’s to a show that shoot in HD+ is very silly (Like Chicago PD is shoot in HD the dvd’s look just plain bad if you compare it to the PQ to the original broadcast (Old stuff is different but, anything over the last 18-20yrs should be released only on blu-ray (up converting dvd’s can go so far you may get 720p but, it’s still off) 👍👍👍
I still think Warner could've done Tom & Jerry Volume 2, with the same disclaimer they put on the first set. That disclaimer was correct when it said that to not present those cartoons as they were originally made, would be to whitewash the past and pretend those racist attitudes never existed. And ironically, by canceling Volume 2 of the Golden Collection, that's exactly what they opted to do.
No offense, but you kinda just show the dvds and then have no real other info to give about. Do some more research instead of just saying you don't know why it got cancelled etc.
Cultural bias plays a part in it. They don’t want shows where Black MEN aren’t bigoted bullies and hoodlums, so we don’t get to see the Franklyn Seales years of *Silver Spoons,* the post-season 1 episodes of *227* with Hal Williams as a present middle-class father figure whose first instinct isn’t to break out the belt, any episode of *Benson* where the title character is no longer the butler, or any of *Amen* on DVD.
those shorts that were remastered for Golden Collection Volume 2 apparently got dumped onto iTunes either last year or this year.

In the early days of DVD, there were no "complete series" (unless the show only lasted a season). Following the trend that began on VHS, cartoons were usually packaged in short incomplete collections of just a few episodes, incentivizing parents to shell out money for multiple discs. If they didn't sell that well (Police Academy, The Mask, King Kong, and countless others), then you're S.O.L. Beetlejuice came much later and was OBSCENELY expensive when it was first released. As for The Mandalorian, it was one of the few shows on Disney+ that was actually successful, and since they've been hemorrhaging money lately, I guess they figured it was something they could make a profit on. God knows, they're not making money from people watching anything on Disney+.
I absolutely prefer full season and full series sets. Having to buy four to seven episodes at a time was horrible.
Some of them didn’t sell because they were not carried in enough stores. I am still finding out about pre-DVD home video releases of TV shows that I had no idea about at the time because I never came across them for sale in the stores or for rental.
@@Attmay TV shows on VHS took up SO MUCH room. I bought two seasons of Highlander (to get the coat) but wound up returning the sets because they were HUGE boxes of VHS. I couldn't store it. I used to see them in second hand shops, but not much anymore.
Yeah, I remember waiting years for Tales from the Crypt to start releasing on DVD in season sets. HBO home video only put out a few individual DVDs, with three episodes each, loosely connected, such as 'The Robert Zemeckis Collection.' Pretty much the same thing they'd been doing on VHS. Same with Image's first Twilight Zone DVDs. 40 volumes, with no rhyme or reason to episode order.
@@jamesoblivion Ah, the Zemeckis Collection, that was in '99, full seasons of Crypt trickled out over a few years beginning in '05 (the complete series was repackaged about a decade later). It was the sales of The Best of Friends (4 volumes, of course!) in 2000-01 that really kicked off studio interest in releasing full seasons -- in 2002, the TV on DVD market began to explode. The complete Twilight Zone hit in 2006, retailing for $299 (I paid $150 for it a few years later, now it has a superior Blu-Ray for $75). Just looked it up, and the aforementioned complete series of Beetlejuice wasn't released until 2013, originally retailing for $99.99 (today, it's less than $25). Buying discs as soon as they were released was always a racket, but now that the market has shrunk, if you don't buy 'em new, they're suddenly out of print and being scalped online for 10 times the original price.
Great video, man! Love your Dvd videos
I think this would work without the looping BG music track, great video though
Loved this! hope to see more of these lists...
Randomly stumbled upon your channel and I love your content bro! Huge TV on dvd collector, and I agree that it’s a huge shame we never got seasons 4 and 5 of The Muppet Show on physical media. And to this day, especially as a huge fan of the show, I’m still disappointed that the last two seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic never got a release either.
I need a list like this, about canceled vhs releases.
I'd like The Muppets. TV show on DVD. I'd pick it up. Of course, I'd also like a full show DVD set in some slim cases for the Muppets Show too. It feels like its been a while since the first three sets came out and I never could pick them up. Those are holes in my Muppets DVDs. IF Fraggle Rock can be completely in a box set, then surely Muppets. & Muppet Show & Dog City can be too!
So... that's it? No disc for "Do the Universe?" Fucking bastardice!
One cancellation that still haunts me to this day is the Scream Factory attempt to release "Tattoo." And if you poke around AllMovie enough, you'll find bogus release listings for the likes of "A Love Song," "Bottoms," "True Identity," "Passed Away," "Tiger Town," and so on. And just yesterday, Kino Lorber Studio Classics ditched UHDs of "Duck, You Sucker" and "Charley Varrick."
And I could go on...
Star Wars: Resistance only ever got a S1 DVD release, and the show lasted for 2 seasons, and to this day S2 still hasn’t been released. Also, they didn’t release the show on blu-ray compared to other Star Wars shows.
interesting fact about those Disney+ shows on blu ray and 4k, they were originally just going to be the cases. no discs. basically just something to sit on your shelf. people got rightfully mad and Disney eventually relented and put the discs in
Beautiful sweater my dude.
The ones that really get to me are The Drew Carey Show (only season 1 got a release). And Quickdraw McGraw. Only a handful of episodes are ever released in compilation DVDs. They say Drew Carey is due to the music, and they're afraid the Quickdraw film is too grainy and brittle to transfer. At least that's what I was told.
Wait. Best Buy is discontinuing physical media?
I bought the fnaf movie on Blu-Ray on the 14th.
oooh can you cover the cancelled Uncut Yugioh DVDs and cancelled Dragon Ball Z Level Set Blu rays?
I would like the Quick Draw McGraw Show (1959- 1962) released on DVD and Blu Ray!
The Green Hornet tv series still needs a DVD release
I have it. Its also on Amazon
Another release that got canceled was Wonder Showzen: The Complete Series Box Set it was scheduled for release on December 12, 2006, but it was cancelled. But a similar set eventually released on March 16, 2021.
Also, this video gave me a mandela effect. See, I recall actually seeing Mask: the Complete Animated Series (and I mean the green face guy, not the team with the vehicles). I even read it coming with the Ace Ventura episode that featured the Mask. I had looked at its Amazon store page several times and considered buying it... but now I see this video and suddenly, that release no longer exists and its just season one. Weird.
I liked the Mask cartoon better than the sequel Son of Mask movie. I'm not sure if I'd pick it up if I saw it, but I might. I haven't snapped up the Beatlejuice cartoon yet but I keep looking at it.
@@johnm.withersiv4352 I never saw Son of the Mask myself. When it comes to Hollywood, I tend to lose interest the minute a movie is about either dogs or babies, because both always entail gross-out humor, and from what I've heard that's exactly what happens in Son of the Mask.
Beetlejuice for me was a strange case. I was a kid when it first aired on TV and I recall not liking it, but nowadays I'm more receptive and would like to get that DVD set eventually.
@@EdmondDantes224 That's probably a good rule.
I'm still hoping for the final four seasons of "The Beverly Hillbillies" on DVD.
So this is why I can't find the new Beavis and Butthead movie and the complete season. Yes I totally agree with you it sucks because I really like Beavis and Butthead. I also hate when a first season of a show is released on dvd and then you can't find the rest of the series on DVD. Examples of this are Small wonder Seasons Three and Four, Unsolved Mysteries complete series, Life goes on Seasons 2-4 Rescue 911 with William shatner, Muppet Babies original 80s cartoon, Smurfs original 80s cartoon and E! True Hollywood Story these are just some and im sure that there are others
Nice video, love the Santa hat
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
I'm still waiting on the Blu-ray release of I Love Lucy Season 3 lol.
Such a random recommended video but I’ll watch it
I am not sure if this is cancelled or not but one DVD that I wished would exist is Season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory. I got Season 1 on DVD and that is the only season that got an official release on DVD. Season 2 nor any of the other seasons have DVD releases. I don't know why that is though.
Im bummed out about The Muppet Show not being finished, i just got the first 3 recently
My guess as to why the last two seasons of the Muppet Show were never released: the music. A bunch of copyrighted songs that spanned from many decades of music. The fact that the show was put onto Disney Plus means they’re never coming out on DVD.
The ones on Disney Plus are remastered but are missing several musical numbers.
I have bootleg copies of the last two seasons. So I’m good.
Have the feeling that it comes to mone when we talk about the muppet show. Money, disney is not willing to dish out for some reaons of course. I mean there are various episodes even issing from streaming plattforms. Mostly from the later seasons. So maybe it is the star that has a problem with not getting any money when it woul dbe printed on a disc or streamed or the relatives if the star for the case said star is dead.
Things do look different when it would be broadcast on tv, a reason you not see the show aired that often or mostly not after a spific season.
I wonder if it involves having to pay an appearance fee for all the guests stars who appeared on the show.
Merry belated Christmas! 🎄
LOONEY TUNES DID THOSE BLACK FACE SOMETIMES AS WELL AND THEY GOT ALL 6 OF THERE VOLUMES OUT FUNNY I HAVE A VOL 2 OF TOM AND JERRY FROM OVERSEAS
Like the Tom & Jerry Golden Collection sets, in 2011 FUNimation had started releasing Dragon Ball Z on Blu-Ray for the first time under the "Level Sets" where it the best transfer picture quality theres ever been but after releasing only 2 set they more on the way including cover arts for them they just canceled this line in favor of the widescreen orange brick version for Blu-Ray plus way in 2005-06 they had released the "Ultimate Uncut Edition" which they released a hand full only to cancel them for the Orange Brick sets in 2007.
I would love to see the first twelve seasons as well as the 18th season of The Simpsons on Blu-ray. And for this Simpsons blu-ray release, it should not be stretched to 16:9 widescreen and should be presented in its original aspect ratio. Not like what’s being shown on FXX, Disney Plus or Hulu. I would also love to see the rest of King of the Hill, the first half of Futurama and the first three seasons of Spongebob on Blu-ray. I would also like to see The Critic (1994) and Dilbert (1999) being released on Blu-ray as well.
We'll have to end up getting bootlegs of the new Beavis and Butthead
Blame it all on Digital Streaming services for killing Physical media!
Nice video! It’s sad these movies got cancelled tho
One that hurts me is the second season of Code Monkey's. I saw the mock up of what it'd look like, but we never got it, meaning I can never officially finish that series.
Now if we want to just talk about shows that never got any sort of DVD release period, I could give you a whole list of shows...
Don't Forget Dan Vs. because it got released as Season 1 DVD and it got cancelled for the Rest of the DVD Seasons, and so was the later DVD Seasons of The Simpsons.
Wasn't sure if Family Guy DVDs sales got cancelled?
Another is Looney tunes platinum collection volume 4, when 3 didn't sell (was hard to find when it released originally) it got pulled.
Disney doesn't actually fully own Roger Rabbit, it's partially owned by Spielberg/Amblin, hence the lesser presence in crossovers.
interesting video been collecting physical media since 95/96 (Everytime a new Home video format it seems like this creates a lot of talk about Physical media dying (The only real negative of Physical media is the tech itself and over saturation of various formats (Even though dvd’s were a massive mainstream thing it was just the Laserdisc format that mimic CD’s) Then when people got used to buying physical media at a fraction of the price of VHS/Laserdisc they created a HD format with Blu-Ray (Which seem to have confused the general population) It sucks when various studios don’t complete a tv series (Benson and Silver Spoons only had two seasons on dvd) my biggest gripe with any tv being put on dvd is when did it air if it was shoot in HD (Selling dvd’s to a show that shoot in HD+ is very silly (Like Chicago PD is shoot in HD the dvd’s look just plain bad if you compare it to the PQ to the original broadcast (Old stuff is different but, anything over the last 18-20yrs should be released only on blu-ray (up converting dvd’s can go so far you may get 720p but, it’s still off) 👍👍👍
Still waiting for Warner Brothers to release the 1950s Popeye sets.
Big day for bootleggers
Warner brothers archive released the complete the mask animated series on there on demand service
on 2020 and 2021 DVD is no longer available by COVID-19.
It's always the same culprit.
Music rights. 🎶
It's sidelined soo many releases.
You can find the History of Beavis and Butt-Head online, if you look hard enough.
You forgot about pete and pete season 3 dvd
Ah! Wasn't aware of that. Thanks! Never even heard of the show
@@BenWalker-og2cm Gargoyles also had a cancelled DVD release.
I heard that the DVDs were actually manufactured so they were still sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Maybe they’ve already been discarded by now.
Nick Picks volume 6 should've been here
great video
I still think Warner could've done Tom & Jerry Volume 2, with the same disclaimer they put on the first set. That disclaimer was correct when it said that to not present those cartoons as they were originally made, would be to whitewash the past and pretend those racist attitudes never existed. And ironically, by canceling Volume 2 of the Golden Collection, that's exactly what they opted to do.
📀
There’s always bootleg versions
The only Monsters Inc. 2 we need is the Monsters at Work TV series. Enough said, we don't need a Monster's Inc. 2 period!
Regular Show ☹️
No offense, but you kinda just show the dvds and then have no real other info to give about. Do some more research instead of just saying you don't know why it got cancelled etc.
Cultural bias plays a part in it. They don’t want shows where Black MEN aren’t bigoted bullies and hoodlums, so we don’t get to see the Franklyn Seales years of *Silver Spoons,* the post-season 1 episodes of *227* with Hal Williams as a present middle-class father figure whose first instinct isn’t to break out the belt, any episode of *Benson* where the title character is no longer the butler, or any of *Amen* on DVD.
Youtune is so werid lol i watch one video on dvds and my entire recommendations are dvd stuff lol
