I would love to see THE WONDER YEARS on DVD.

That was a really good coming-of-age series .. sometimes funny, sometimes romantic, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes poignant. I couldn't ask for anything more in a TV series.

kakabanas -- there are two Wonder Years dvds: Best of the Wonder Years and Wonder Years:Christmas Wonder Years (both less than $10 each.) Not the whole series though..

Thanks Benny. I'll look for it. I have two Wonder Years VHS, one of which have the pilot episode. I
ll look for the dvd and see if it's the same one.

Just crossed my mind recently:

Invisible Man (with David McCallum)
Time Tunnel
Land of the Giants
Combat (Vic Morrow/Rick Jason)
Sliders
Little House on the Prairie

And after a week, this thread is back on top

I actually enjoyed the first three years of Murphy Brown. So I guess that would be cool on DVD. I love Candice Bergen ever since I first saw her in Carnal Knowledge (I think) with Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel. I think that was her first movie straight from the modelling world.

Hi gets! If you like Twilight Zone then you might be interested to hear that there's a six-disc 40th anniversary gift set now available. It contains 19 episodes from the original Twilight Zone. Amazon is selling it for $59.49:

Twili
ght Zone 40th anniversary gift set

Be warned though, I've read that rather than choosing 19 of the best episodes, the gift set takes the lazy way out and just bundles together the first five volumes of the current TZ DVD releases (which is currently up to volume 42, with vol. 43 to ship on June 12).

Also, you'll be pleased to note that each Twilight Zone DVD volume contains 3-4 episodes per disc rather than just individual episodes.

Hi! This is my first time to join any discussion forum so please bear with me.

From the above list by Komikero, dag-dag ko na rin Space 1999 and UFO. These are the shows that I used to watch while surviving MIT (Mapua Tech). I'm thinking if I will spend hard earned money on the Thunderbirds DVD.

Also will be happy if UK will release on DVD (kahit tape) the numerous episodes that used to air in Channel 9's SST (Sunday Suspense Theater) after Nora's Superstar. I wish to recapture the feeling then of being surprised at the tail-end of the story.

I hope also to see the two seasons of V on DVD. I only have the tapes for the first season (?) when they defeated the aliens with a virus spread by balloons.

Next time, I'll be more comfortable using smileys.

All the adventures of Beavis And Butthead!!

Perfect Strangers

Viper, Yeh, I remember SST (Sunday Suspense Theater). This was the show that we were always waiting for during Sundays. I still remember their theme (you know, after the show's over).

Bet you still remember The Gemini Man, Donny and Marie, SWAT, Wonder Woman, The Man from Atlantis.....?

Donnie and Marie - "I'm a little bit country, "and I'm a little bit rock and roll. I'm a little bit Memphis and Nashville, with a little bit of Motown in my soul! I don't know if it's good or bad, but I know I love it so! I'm a little bit country, and I'm a little bit rock and roll!

Wonder Woman - you mean Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner? She of the bullet-deflecting wrist bands and he of the Air Force uniform and glinting smile?

S.W.A.T. - where Robert Urich got his "big" break? Starring Steve Forrest as the Lieutenant?

The Man from Atlantis - starring a pre-Dallas Patrick Duffy, featuring that undulating swimming style that all the kids our age tried to imitate in swimming pools across the country?

Nope. I don't remember any of that stuff at all. I was too young.

Other stuff I don't remember:

S.E.A.R.C.H. starring Hugh O'Brien and Tony Franciosa.
Combat starring Vic Morrow and Rick Jason
The Land of the Giants and The Time Tunnel, both Irwin Allen productions
Gigantor, featuring the lunch box robot remote control
Mightor (with dino-sidekick Trog) and the Herculoids (remember Gloop and Gleep?)
Moby Dick, with those two kids improbably riding on the benevolent whale's back as it blurbles, "Geronimooooooobeeeeeeee!"
Sigmund the Sea Monster
The Kroft Supershow - Wonder Bug, Dr. Shrinker, and Electro-Woman and Dyna-Girl
CHiPs - Erik Estrada as Officer Ponchorello and Larry Wilcox as the generic blonde beach-bum officer. Weren't these guys the prototype for Baywatch?[/list

More stuff I don't remember to come...

Yeah! Halata tuloy ang age bracket natin

Hmmm... Gemini Man. I remember that, used to watch it avidly. Now if I can remember the plot (I know it is in the league of invisible man and $6M-man)

No, ikinuwento lang ng kuya ko

In fact, our TV then was already in stereo (dalawa spkrs), may apat na paa, wood finished ang body, may cover pa yung pinaka-screen (w/lock).

I also had a remote control then, my younger sister: "Ilipat mo nga sa Sesame Street."

Then the channel knobs would go "Tsug-Tsug-Tsug!"

"O, huwag mong ilipat pabalik, masisira ang TV!!"

See? now,can you guess my age bracket?

gonz · « **Reply #42 on:** May 27, 2001 at 12:36 AM »

LOL @ lazy_maze!

Ano bang tatak ng TV ninyo, Radiowealth? O Zenith?

"Corded" pa siguro yung remote control, ano, hindi cordless.

Hi guys
Here are my suggestions:

Voyager (could someone tell me how it ends)
Taipan (mini-series starring Pierce Brosnan)
Man From Atlantis (was he Patrick Duffy?)
Dynasty
Millionaire Boys Club (Judd Nelson)
Beverly Hills 90210 (till high school grad)
Amazing Stories

Warsaw · « **Reply #44 on:** May 27, 2001 at 02:35 AM »

To me since I am a comic fan, I would like to see DVD versions of:
1. The Flash (1990 series with John Wesley Shipp, aka Dawson's dad in Dawson's Creek)
2. The Superfriends
3. DC Superheroes cartoon shows of the 1960's.
4. Superman The Animated Series (1990's)

Warsaw · « **Reply #45 on:** May 27, 2001 at 02:37 AM »

Oh, and I also forgot,
5. Wonder Woman (Linda Carter is the best)
6. Shazam (the live-action or cartoon or both)
7. Isis (Joanna Cameron was hot in the 70's)
8. Plastic Man (the animated series)

Warsaw · « **Reply #46 on:** May 29, 2001 at 09:49 AM »

Another favourite of mine is the E! Wild On series with Jules Asner and Brooke Burke as anchors. Those babes are HOT!!! Also Lonely Planet episodes should be on DVD, with Nicki Grosse, Cristina Chang, Megan McCormick and Justine Shapiro's trecks. These women makes watching documentaries a heavenly delight.

viper, you'll be happy to learn that I saw Volumes 1 and 2 of Space: 1999 at Electronics Depot today. Those two sets of three DVDs each cover the first 12 episodes of the first season, at two episodes per disc. Each set costs P1995, which works out to P665 per disc. That price compares favorably to Amazon's price of equiv. P1799 per set, excluding shipping.

Reading the above, it sounds like such a good deal I'm wondering why the heck I'm posting this info here instead of buying those two sets for myself. :-/

How about the following:

1. The Professionals - UK series from the early 80s (I think) that was originally shown on Channel 7. Favorite episode: "Doubles", where Doyle and Bodie trade-in their Browning autos for .44 magnums to stop a pair of assasins. Would you believe this series could not be shown in the US as it was considered extremely violent?

2. Hawaii 5-O - If only for the classic line, "Book 'em, Dan-O." Release this on DVD rather than develop a movie version ala Mission: Impossible.

3. The World at War - BBC documentary series with Lawrence Olivier as narrator.

and

4. The Benny Hill Show - Uncut of course!

lazy_maze · « **Reply #49 on:** May 30, 2001 at 11:19 PM »

How about The Equalizer? yeah! Edward Woodward, he'll make them pay!! And that theme by Police drummer, Stewart Copeland.

Space 1999-was a favorite of my older brother, I remember, we used to have copies of TV Times, and some of the TV show's addresses where there (remember,remeber?), my brother wrote to Space 1999, and poor him......they never replied...

We used to draw those space ships then..."korteng-tabako" yung harapan, di ba?

weddingsingr · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 09, 2001 at 09:31 AM »

11. Eat Bulaga - all episodes including all their female co-hosts like Chiqui Hollman & Debra Liz, pati mga Lenten specials - grabe ilan kayang DVD iyon?
13. Student Canteen - hanggang last episode with Francis M. crying. Mas konti ito kaysa Eat Bulaga.
14. 3 o'clock habit - all episodes... "in a few minutes from now..." - ito isang DVD lang.

Whew! Buti na lang joke lang. I mean, can you imagine someone buying the episodes of Eat Bulaga or GoBingo on DVD?

They should be more like "Episodes That Should be Re-aired on TV" so that those of us looking for nostalgia will be able to see them again and have fun recalling our "younger" days.

Krazyfu_tangerine,

There is a Boxed set of The Best of Friends in Region1, while the whole series of Friends is being released in Region2. I think they are up to Year 6 currently.

Krazyfu_tangerine · « **Reply #54 on:** Jun 16, 2001 at 06:54 AM »

im going to wait for the friends series when it comes out on R1. the best of friends sounds good but i won't get the whole series and miss out when the real box set comes out. (i hope it comes out that is)

Kahon · « **Reply #55 on:** Jun 16, 2001 at 10:03 AM »

Krazyfu_tangerine,

oops, i forgot to mention that there is a boxed set of the season 1 of Friends available on Region 3. Astrovision sells it for 1950 pesos. i have no idea tho if warner intends to release the rest of the seasons locally.

d-oh! :-/...did not notice the "new" on twilight zone...
ferris bueller has a series

did not now that...
i thought he only had the day off

as for the rest
you want the whole series!!!

aside from $aving lots of money to burn...
you would also need a lot of spare time to see them again...

Krazyfu_tangerine · « **Reply #59 on:** Jun 16, 2001 at 12:46 PM »

hehehehe.
heres a link to most of the tv series

ferris bueller had only 13 eps. but i enjoyed it when it was still on ch. 9 way back

the new twilight zone i want to see because i was too young to watch it then, not that i was forbiden by my parents but bec. it came at 10:30 on ch.2 and i was sleepy then, so everytime i watch it i was asleep after 10 min. (i was 7, i think)

transformers= whole series? yes! why not? it's less than 160 eps. kaya yan! like ranma 1/2 160+ pa

SNL= i would love to have the whole series but i'll be in a straight jacket by then. and not to mention be in the gutter, with my dvd and portable dvd player (after i sold my house, dog, clothes on me back,)

btw: i HATE you guys! its 2:49 and in still on this list talking about dvd's and looking for a geat deal on them. you guys have turned me into a DVD NUT!!! hehehehehe
