Also I wish the BBC would release their series of Day of the Triffids. I used to have the Doc Strange on VHS, & yes, I've still got a machine, but a DVD copy would be neat. I just recorded the 90's Capt America--it showed on the SYFY channel this past week.

I'm also waiting for the fourth and final season of Mork & Mindy on DVD, ever since season 3 was released in 2007. And even though it's past the specific timeframe of this blog (but does feature footage from 1979), I'd like to mention Mike Jittlov's The Wizard of Speed and Time, which hasn't been released on DVD yet either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-70169338736994433882011-07-18T20:50:14.380-04:002011-07-18T20:50:14.380-04:00Apparently some of the language in JOHNNY QUEST wa...Apparently some of the language in JOHNNY QUEST was considered too politically incorrect, so the cowardly suits removed the offending words.<br /><br />At least that's what I've heard.Tossernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-11653551091420413172011-07-18T20:39:11.836-04:002011-07-18T20:39:11.836-04:00No The Powers Of Matthew Star or The Phoenix?
