Now here's an idea. Not sure I like how they're handling this, but:

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Mister-Rogers-Neighborhood-Amazon-CreateSpace-MOD/14750

The first batch of 100 "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" episodes covers four decades of the series and includes shows that have not been seen for more than 30 years. The collection features five episodes from the first week of "Misterogers' Neighborhood," which premiered - in black and white - on Feb. 19, 1968, on National Educational Television (N.E.T.), a forerunner to PBS. (The name of the show was changed to the existing three-word format when it went to color in 1968.) The initial releases also include 80 "classic" and 15 "middle years" episodes, which have not aired since the '70s, with memorable shows such as "The Death of a Goldfish" and "Mister Rogers Talks About Divorce," featuring Rogers' remarkable skill in addressing sensitive topics with his young audience. Among the other programs now available are: "Mister Rogers as a Boy," "Caring for the Environment," "Mad Feelings," "Is Santa Claus Real?" and "Making Mistakes."

Now, 10 bucks per half hour isn't great, considering to get the entire collection would set you back over 1000 bucks. But it IS a good start and a decent idea.

That said, Sesame Workshop! If you're out there, check out this option. A MOD DVD program for Sesame Street among other SW programs would be an ideal way to make classic Sesame fans happy without forcing any of this on retail DVD distributors.
