All her guest spots are currently out on DVD except for Married: The First Year which was a short lived series that lasted for only 4 episodes. Nevertheless, let's hope it's released somewhere, maybe on Netflix or YouTube.
In 2005, the first season of SeaQuest DSV was released on DVD. The Steven Spielberg produced series was a science fiction show about the goings on in the deep-submergence vehicle (DSV). Shelley appeared in the pilot episode "To Be Or Not To Be" as Capt. Marilyn Stark, the former captain of SeaQuest out to take revenge on her former colleagues. The episode is also in SeaQuest DSV The Complete Collection, a 20-disc pack released in 2013. It's also included in SeaQuest DSV The Complete Collection Limited Edition Aluminum Case, an 18-disc pack released in 2016.
In 2007, the sixth season on Tales on the Crypt was released on DVD. Shelley appeared in the episode "The Assassin". The episode is one of the most memorable in the entire series with its unique twist in the end. Shelley played Janet McKay, a helpless suburban housewife held hostage by assassins out to get her husband. Corey Feldman, Jonathan Banks and Chelsea Field also appeared in the episode.
In 2013, the sixth season of Diagnosis Murder was released on DVD. The 6-disc pack contained all episodes including "Looks Can Kill", the episode Shelley appeared in. She played Dr. Elaine Denell, a popular plastic surgeon who owns a profit-driven beauty clinic. She finds herself in hot water when one of her patients dies. Jill Whelan and Anthony Michael Hall appeared in the episode as well.
In 2016, the eight season of LA Law was released on DVD. Shelley appeared in the episode "Whose San Andreas Fault Is It Anyway" - as Lynn Barnett, an ad agency exec accused of sexual harassment by her former subordinate and lover. The episode was quite unique at the time because the sexual harassment defendant was a woman not a man.
In January of 2017, the third season of The Love Boat was finally released on DVD. It came in two disc sets - Volume One and Volume Two. Shelley's episode appears in Volume Two. In the episode "Dumb Luck/Tres Amigos/ Hey, Jealous Lover, she played Carol Ketay, a nuclear physicist friend of Julie McCoy who had trouble getting a date. Julie advised Professor Carol to play dumb and see what happens. Carol is pleasantly surprised.
