* ''[[My Mother the Car]]'' has no DVD release but is legally available on Youtube and Hulu.
* Does ''The Very Best of [[WCW]] Monday Nitro'' count?
* In February 2011, The Paley Center for Media in New York, NY announced that [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704709304576124373773290508.html it had received a verified copy] of the CBS broadcast of [[Useful Notes/American Football|Super Bowl I]], donated to the Center in exchange for having it restored and archived. It was thought that there were no existing copies of either the CBS or NBC broadcast<ref>At the time, CBS had the NFL broadcast rights and NBC had the AFL rights.</ref>. The owner reportedly offered the tape directly to the NFL: they first tried to assert its exclusive copyright to claim the tape, then offered $30,000 for the tape (most experts say the tape is worth at least $1 million). It's assumed it is only a matter of time before the tape (which is missing a chunck of the third quarter and the entire halftime) is broadcast publicly.
* Until the end of 2007, ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' was a perfect example of this trope. About 40 episodes had been released during the 1990's on VHS, but promised DVD release kept getting put off for various reasons (one of the most cogent being that it was difficult to nearly impossible to find high-quality master tapes for the first season, and another being the long-running legal ruckus surrounding the [[Harlan Ellison]]-penned third-season episode "The Pieces of Fate Affair"). Anchor Bay announced plans to release the series on DVD, which fell through, and it was finally left to Time-Life, under license from [[Warner Brothers]] (which, convolutedly, had acquired the license from [[MGM]]) to release the series in an acclaimed box-set version in late 2007.
* ''[[Barney Miller]]'': After the Season 1 DVD set came out, it took four years for Season 2 to be released, then another year for Season 3. Finally, [[Shout Factory]] issued a deluxe complete-series box set for the show in October 2011.
