Shout! should release the Classic TV shows
Many one season wonders have been ignored and it's too bad. Some more interesting titles are: It's about time, No time for Sargent (only one season), Dusty's Trail (only one season), Dennis the Menace, Car 54 where are you and probably THE BEST SITCOM EVER: The Phil Silvers Show (aka Sgt Bilko)

You can already find The Phil Silvers Show (aka You'll Never Get Rich) on DVD and VHS. Sadly it's owned by CBS Paramount which make it difficult to license their material. They have so much amazing stuff (all of the Desilu shows plus Paramount Television and the Spelling shows).

frenchjr25, you're right The Phil Silvers Show is available on DVD but it's not an official release, that means it's bootleg stuff that came from TV broadcast with poor quality, I know, I bought a set 2 years ago

Not true.

Though there is not a season by season release there was a 50th anniversary DVD release that you can get on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Sgt-Bilko-50th-Anniversary-Silvers/dp/B000EBGE9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1246317011&sr=8-1

It is an official release by CBS.

A season by season release would be great but since CBS owns the rights it won't happen through Shout! since CBS Paramount does not license their material.
