Isn't there at least one season of Johnny Bravo on iTunes?

As for Dexter, I'd guess that it's bound to happen, since Powerpuff Girls got a release.

The problem with people is that they lack patience. A lot of cartoons I never even heard of get released on DVD out of the blue. So it's only a matter of time before your favorite series are available for viewing in one form or another.

Unless they happen to be former-Saban shows owned by Disney.

The First and Last seasons are on iTunes..

along with Saban shows, don't expect DVD forms of basically all early nicktoons(Maybe iTunes)

Hey, they still have a chance. It just may not be anytime soon.

The bigger the company, the less likely they'll release older stuff, usually because they have higher expectancies.

Don't know if that theory works, as Time-Warner is the biggest media company in the USA, and yet Warner Home Video has probably released more older shows on DVD than anyone else.

The Powerpuff Girls 1st season DVD just came out. Cartoon Network may be waiting to see how well PPG sells before they release any more Cartoon-Cartoons on DVD. It's definitely not because studios/companies aren't interested in making money. Quite the opposite. Just because Dexter's Lab and Johnny Bravo haven't got a DVD release yet, doesn't mean that they never will. Try to be a little patient.

There are a number of reasons why a studio would be reluctant to release their shows on DVD. In some cases, it may be due to disputes over ownership rights to certain properties, such as music or characters (like the soundtrack to Daria or the use of popular tunes in Alvin and the Chipmunks or the use of stock movie and TV show footage in Jim Henson's Muppet Babies or Tiny Toons boasting episodes featuring caricatures of deceased celebrities like Ronald Reagan or Princess Diana). Or it could be that the studio is busy compiling a decent set of extras and bonus features. Or it could be due to contractual obligations. Or it could be that the network which owns said show may not want to release it on DVD right away for fear that the viewings of said show on TV will fall off (provided the show in question is still airing on TV, that is). Or it could be that a prior DVD release didn't sell well and thus the company may be reluctant to release another DVD set for fear of losing money (like how the initial DVD releases of Hanna-Barbera's Huckleberry Hound or Comedy Central's Drawn Together apparently didn't sell well enough to warrant any follow-up releases). Or a studio could consider producing DVD releases of some of their other properties (such as live-action movies or TV shows) to be a higher priority than their cartoons. There are a number of factors involved, depending on the show or studio in question.
