The Torkelsons (1991)
Cute sitcoms canceled get added to Disney Channel lineup
The Torklesons, and later Almost Home, were sitcoms originally aired on NBC, and later, canceled mid-season. We faithfully watched each week, until the bitter end.
I was so excited when The Disney Channel -years later- acquired the reruns (Disney went through a phase -before they started producing their own sitcoms- where they aired episodes of several good family shows other networks had dropped or canceled mid-season).
These little-known shows were much-enjoyed by my family. We were able to tape each episode as it aired later on the Disney channel and still play them, marathon-style, on rainy days. Most people are unaware that a very young Brittany Murphy got her start here (as well as a few other sitcoms from that era).

I wish they would be released on DVD before my tape wears out!
The Boy from Dead Man's Bayou (1971)
Lost Childhood Favorite
I have been trying to remember the title of this movie my whole life. My sisters and I used to watch this on t.v. almost every Sunday. It scared the crap out of us! It's been years since I've seen it- I'd like it to be released on DVD. I'm working on collecting all the movies from my childhood.
Everybody has a different opinion on old Disney movies. I prefer them to the newer ones, myself. Some will probably say this movie is corny- but it's a good old movie.
