The Month in Home Media highlights short-lived or rare TV shows released on DVD or Blu-ray in the United States during the previous month.
August was yet another quiet month. ClassicFlix released the second season of Public Defender (CBS, 1954-1955) on DVD for the first time.
Also, I missed Warner Archive releasing animated one season wonder Jonny Quest (ABC, 1964-1965) on Blu-ray in June.

News
Warner Archive will release animated one season wonder The Jetsons (ABC, 1962-1963) on Blu-ray on September 5th (TV Shows On DVD/Facebook).
Hit the comments with reviews of recently released DVD/Blu-ray sets or news about upcoming releases.
Technically, The Jetsons isn’t a one season wonder. Although there were only 26 episodes in the original syndication package, new episodes were produced in the ’80’s to expand it!
Personally, I consider the original ABC series separate from the episodes produced for syndication in the 1980s, but it’s splitting hairs.
are you sure of 25 episodes? no overlapping within the FLINSTONES series? go re-check pronto
No, the Flintstones and the Jetsons NEVER crossed over in the ’60’s, but there was a direct-to-video movie many years later!!
The movie is known as the “Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. It was a Made for TV movie in Syndication.
