As great as it was to see the life of Pedro Zamora dramatized last night in Pedro, seeing a scripted version of his Real World days made me think about how long its been since I've seen the real Pedro on The Real World: San Francisco. That Real World season is one of the series' most memorable, largely because of the young man we lost so soon after we realized how special he was ... and, yet, the only Real World seasons available on DVD is the first New York season and the shark-jumping Las Vegas season.

That got me thinking of other gay TV shows that linger in my mind that aren't available on DVD, but seem worth revisiting. Here are six more shows that deserve to be found on DVD store shelves.

Brothers (Showtime, 1984)

Long before Queer as Folk or United States of Tara, Showtime broke ground by giving us the first sitcom to include a gay character whose sexual orientation wasn't ignored after he came out. Brothers introduced us to the life of Cliff Waters (Paul Regina), a Philadelphia man who comes out on his wedding day and tries figure out his life from there, with help from his supportive (but sometimes clueless) brothers and his gay friend Donald (Phillip Charles MacKenzie). I know I'm not the only one who'd like to see the landmark series become available again and it certainly deserves to live on.

The Tracey Ullman Show (Fox, 1987)

When I started researching this list, The Tracey Ullman Show didn't quickly come to mind as a candidate. I figured such an amazing and well-regarded series must have had a DVD release that I just missed, but it turns out that the show that helped launched the Fox Network (which memorably included awkward teen Francesca and her two gay dads) isn't available on DVD. That's very sad to hear, considering the great sketches (like the time Francesca learns cynicism by working a shift at a Mexican fast food joint) that haven't been seen in years.

Pasadena (Fox, 2001)

Back in 2001, Pasadena creator Mike White was only known for his indie hit Chuck & Buck. While both Pasedena and Chuck & Buck got plenty of critical praise, it wasn't enough to keep Fox from giving the soap a Friday night time slot of doom. Now that he's better known thanks to movies like The Good Girl and School of Rock as well as his recent stint on The Amazing Race, perhaps its time to see if audiences would be more willing to check out the cult hit.

It's All Relative (ABC, 2003)

While multi-camera sitcoms are often looked at as dinosaurs, It's All Relative broke ground that hasn't been repeated thus far. It's All Relative followed a young couple whose families clashed: his parents were conservative Catholics while her parents were the gay men who adopted her. Comedies featuring gay parents are still rare (even rarer, It's All Relative cast two openly gay actors — Christopher Sieber and John Benjamin Hickey — in the roles) and a DVD release of It's All Relative would help address that void.

Lace (1984)

In the 80's it was rare to see a sweeps month without some kind of trashy mini-series full of sex and scandal and Lace is the one that lingers in the pop culture memory for its memorable line, "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" Following Phoebe Cates' search for her mother (among three women who conspired to hide which one was pregnant) Lace is classic TV camp and its legendary line shouldn't be allowed to fade from memory.

The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (BBC, 1986)

While I'm on the topic of campy mini-series, might I push for one of my all-time favorites? While most Americans are more familiar with the movie starring Roseanne and Meryl Streep, the BBC version goes to dark places the American movie didn't dare to approach and the dramatic flair of Julie T Wallace makes this mini-series one that deserves to be seen again.
