DVD.....A?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa....this is not my Batman glass. Anyway, I'm back and more adequate than ever.

I was in Target Tuesday and I noticed how many different TV shows get put on DVD. Even more impressive is the amount of crappy shows are available. Pimp My Ride being the formidable frontrunner with Felicity, Tru Calling, Punky Brewster and The OC, among the others, on the list of "Why the Balls Did They Waste a DVD-r On That Pile of Crap?" tv shows to dvd. I'd also like to point out that a good show just came out with its 3rd season and another good show is coming out with its 4th season next week. Those would be In Living Color and Seinfeld respectively.

I thought to myself, what shows are highly underrated that people might not know are available for their capitalistic needs and which aren't but should be. Here's the list.

Married With Children

Easily in the Top 5 of all-time comedy shows. Ed O'Neil was F'ing brilliant. The writing on that show was so simple. The pottiest of potty jokes, the silliest of silly jokes but yet it was Shakespeareanesque. Ya know, if Shakespeare was funny. Throw in the Christina Applegate's mini skirts, Jefferson D'Arcy as one of the coolest TV neighbors ever, and by far, the most amusing guys' club, No Ma'am, (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood) and you've yourself one helluva show.

Harvey Birdman - Attorney At Law

Ah haaa, dangly parts. This 10 min long episode animated series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is brilliant. It's first season just got released a week or two ago and I suggest you buy it....or steal it and say you bought it. Harvey has since retired from being a superhero and became a...uh, attorney. A defense attorney to be precise. So he defends other 1960s Hanna Barbara characters in the court of law. Shaggy from Scooby Doo and Fred Flintstone being a couple of his notable clients. If you think Family Guy is random, wait til you see this show. Oh, and The Daily Show's Stephen Colbert is the voice of Harvey's boss...huzzah!

(I'm aware Aqua Teen Hunger Force has 3 seasons out but it's already far surpassed random underground status.)

MacGyver

Dude, give him a paperclip and a piece of spearmint gum and he'll bust your dumbass, rapist cousin out of prison. No lie.

Alf

Hey Bart, remember Alf?! Well he's back!...in pog form. Well, actually Milhouse, he's back in DVD form.

Not Yet Available for Purchase

Major Dad

I can hardly even remember this show but it was super awesome. Here's proof. If you live in the Bible belt and have Turner South (it's a tv channel) you can watch this show every weekday 6-7 in the morning and 7-8 at night.

You Can't Do That On Television

You know this is a quality show when Alanis Morrisette had a recurring character in the late 80s. Awesome. So why hasn't this Nickelodeon sketch comedy show made it to DVD yet? I don't know (cue the slime).

Perfect Strangers

This was the perfect compliment to the golden years of Full House. Balki Bartokomous and Coosin Larry always got into crazy antics. And up until a year and half ago, you could watch them every night on TV Land at like 3am. What a great show. If you didn't grow up watching this you seriously are retarded. This was the last show I watched before I went to bed back in the day when TGIF was good. From 1986-1993 it, Balki melted my heart like only he and a molten steak knife can.

Honorable mention go to Full House and Who's The Boss. Cuz Alyssa Milano is totally hot. Like...totally........excuse me....
