UN Spacy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Yup. I'll probably pick up SLEDGEHAMMMMMMMMMMMMMER! Hehehehehehe. If Star Trek is also for a decent price I'll pick it up. But I also can't wait for the Seinfeld Season DVD Boxsets (sometime in November). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 If Star Trek is also for a decent price I'll pick it up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paramount takes a perverse joy in raping the fans. That's why the last batch of DVDs didn't sell. 2 episodes a disk, for something like 30$ per disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey, let's not forget one of the greatest live action childrens shows to ever come out on DVD just recently: The Land of the Lost. Everyone, sing! Marshall, Will, and Holly, on a routine expedition, met the greatest earthquake ever known, High on the rapids, it struck that tiny raft, and plunged them down a thousand feet below, To the land of the lost, To the land of the lost... Look I realize that this show may seem kind of bad now, but when I was 9 years old, it was the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akilae Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 mmm.... now all I need is MacGyver and Airwolf, and I could have my 80s childhood back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Already got Sledge Hammer on preorder. The only other 80s series I want is all 5 seasons of Miami Vice. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Man, most of this stuff would have never been released on tape...DVD's are getting scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Normally I can see buying Vice or Magnum on DVD... but they show them in order daily on SpikeTV, so I've pretty much watched all of them now, thanks to my DVR recorder. SledgeHammer is tempting... I'm still holding out for more Homicide box sets. And The Wire, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 And yet Turbo Teen still languishes in some forgotten vault, with no DVD release in the forseeable future. And what about Otherworld and Earth 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The A-Team Season 1 DVD came out a few weeks ago. Cool. I will definately buy the original Star Trek on DVD. Still waiting for Pretender and Space Above and Beyond as well. I'm surprized the Hulk hasn't come out yet with the Hollywood Marvel binge of late. Don't think I'd buy it, but surprized it's not out yet anyway. I want the Original Twilight Zone and Outer Limits as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with that series, who's starring in that? What's the synopsis? Its basically a parody of Dirty Harry. Semi-Serious IIRC.... but the main character likes to shoot people. I remember specifically one morning him waking up with his gun on the pillow next to him... he looks over and is all "I had a dream about you last night...."

JRock Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Sledge Hammer was a psychotic freak No wonder why we love him as kids! Is it true that there will be commentary by Sledge himself (The actor who played Sledge)? Knight Rider on the list is great. Now if they only put out Hardcastle and McCormack (I remember pops buying me a toy Coyote Car as a kid) I'll be alright. Another childhood favorite is now out on DVD. Wonder Woman!! All the first season eps and the pilot movie is in it. I now have The Feminum Mystique to see for the rest of my life Damn right I'm passin it to my kids!

Actually, the TV series was released on DVD back in October. There is another show I want on DVD from my childhood, and I was mesmerized by it because she was friggin' hot. Lynda Carter rules!

Angel's Fury Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks for the explanation Max, JRock. Btw Noriko, I'll be getting that soon, probably this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatek Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I got the Airwolf pilot from Columbia House, still hoping for collector's edition season sets. Also would like to see Space: Above and Beyond, Misfits of Science and the short lived Blue Thunder series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Was Fall Guy the one that had Del Shannon's "Runaway" as it's opening theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Was Fall Guy the one that had Del Shannon's "Runaway" as it's opening theme? No, the opening song was The Unknown Stuntman, written by Glen A Larson, Gail Jensen, and David Sommerville. It was also sung by the Six Million Dollar Man himself, Lee Majors. Speaking of which, that is another show I would like to see on DVD. Love that corny bionics show, but not its spin-off. Lindsay Wagner was cute, but I could do without that show.

JELEINEN Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Still no SAaB or Pretender, arrgh. ANd what on god's green earth is "Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince" and why does it deserve DVD immortailization? Since this appears to have gone unanswered, BZ&AP was a really lame Saturday morning live action series about some exiled alien prince stuck on earth with his pet robot. They meat up with Benji (the dog from the 70's and 80's movies) and have adventures. And no, it does not deserve a DVD release. As for all the shows being released, a lot of them I'd love to see again, but I don't think I'd watch them enough to justify buying the discs.
