20th Century Fox has jumped into the "TV Shows On DVD" poll arena, with brand-new
survey that asks "Which of the following TV shows would you most like to see released on DVD? Please pick your top 5!"
Pin It
Shows listed that you can vote for are:
The inclusion of some shows is surprising, frankly.
The Wonder Years and
Ally McBeal, it's been hinted in the past, would cost so much in music rights licenses that a DVD release of these (beyond what's already been seen) might be prohibitive. Here is hoping that a sufficiently high response for these two shows would convince Fox that it's worth spending the money!
Likewise,
Roswell (still the #1 most-requested show at TVShowsOndDVD) has been said to have high music costs; it is probably in a similar situation. Another Fox-owned show that's in the same boat -
WKRP - has noticably been left off the poll. It's probably the most expensive one of them all, so Fox probably wants to test the waters with the others first.
Shows on that survey may be included for reasons that have to do with their historical importance, too:
Remington Steel of course is the show that brought Pierce Brosnan to the attention of the folks who produce the
007 movies, and
The Tracey Ullman Show is the series that was the birthplace of
The Simpsons.
After you pick and rank your top five shows on that list, click the "submit" button and the screen will change to show you the current status of all the shows listed. These don't seem to be percentages, since the totals after I voted add up to 192.77. I won't mention what's in the lead right now, because that is certainly going to change as the poll continues. But I can assure you that these results aren't updated live when you vote...one of the shows I voted for was still at "0" after the results were displayed. Hopefull, whatever system they're using, Fox will let us all know who the winners are.
