Due South Cracker (the original Brit telefilms, not that ABC network series bullshit) Cupid Connections (the first one, not 2 or 3) The Day The Universe Changed Head Of The Class Sifl & Ollie Invader Zim The Jon Stewart Show (The syndicated version, with the wacky guest line-ups and the Talk Show John bits done with dolls. Hell, I’d settle for just the Talk Show John segments compiled onto a DVD. The spoof of Apocalypse Now, where John was going up river to kill Screech from Saved By The Bell was a bizarre classsic.) ---

Black Adder is available in a box set or in series sets. Red Dwarf is on the way. Season one of Futurama is available in the UK. I gots me a copy and I play it on my DVD-ROM drive. ---

The Kids in the Hall. NewsRadio. A second for Invader Zim. Rocko’s Modern Life. Tenacious D. I was finally able to take Sports Night off the list, with the recent announcement that it’s coming. Now HBO just needs to get Mr. Show Seasons 3 and 4 out. ---

Night Court Futurama and I’d love to see South Park being released in its entirety. I don’t know why they stopped releasing them that way after the first 1-1/2 seasons. I hate these “themed” DVDs they release every few months. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by widdershins \* > \*\*Connections (the first one, not 2 or 3) > \*\* Not on DVD, but I checked them out of the library when I was teaching. They actually had the VHS tapes shelved with the books, instead of in the video library. I thought that was pretty cool. ---

Farscape. I’ve only recently become hooked and I haven’t seen a lot of the earlier episodes. ---

The last time I was at Best Buy, they had some _Battle of the Planets_ DVDs on the shelves. Not _Gatchaman_ but BOTP. I didn’t look at them closely enough to remember any details. I was still steaming that they had 20 copies of _Buffy_ Season One on the shelves, but no _Black Adder_ boxed set yet again. Would it kill you BB, to keep one copy in stock? **slackergirl** , a woman who likes _Connections_? Marry me. ---

I’d say **The Prisoner** , but I see that it already is out on DVD. The only problem is that it’s too expensive for me to want to buy. I agree with Widdershins about **Connections** and **The Day the Universe Changed**. And I’d accept the other James Burke series, **Connections 2** and **3**. I taped all of these on my VCR, but having pristine, commercial-free copies would be great. But they’d probably be more than I’d want to spend. ---
