It's as if some fundamentally damaged studio exec is saying, "Of course we'll put out M*A*S*H -- someday. But first, let's get "After M*A*S*H" on the shelves, pronto." I swear, there are Appalachian dirt farmers with a better sense of market demand.
Feel free to bitch about things you've been waiting for. Please, no "AI -- The First Season."

We live in a world where none of the pre-1990s Star Wars or any of the Indiana Jones series are available in DVD.
BUT, check out
this article in Salon (the horror, the horror) or
this other article in Salon (just walk on by those who hate Salon) for a discussion on the availability of movies lately and how to absorb it all.
I have no idea how I'd begin to educate my putative kids on the essential movies that they'd need to watch in order to be valuable members of society.
edited to add second article
