Kill Oscar DVD on Ebay

FYI, I bid on one of these a couple of weeks ago. The seller has been having several of them up for bid for some time now. The quality is quite good, better than VHS though not as good as a THX remaster might be.

It appears to be totally uncut. The details are a little soft, and the audio seems to be pitched slightly fast, otherwise I think it's a worthwhile purchase for those of you who, like me, came to this fetish via that show. I have no idea what the original source of this DVD is, the seller never responded to my question on that. If you're interested, here's a link to one of them;

Nuts! Just missed out on it, but looks like Kishin got it!

If anyone's interested, though, looks like the seller has more:

Cool! BTW: he's got at least three "Kill Oscar" DVDs and three "Bionic Woman Bloopers" DVDs, all on Buy It Now.

You may be right...he's probably got a master and burns his own.

Maybe someone should send him an invite to our little corner...

Okay, so question: If these discs are, in fact, not legit, would sharing of the files be frowned upon? Of course, I realize that this would be a massive amount of data, but it could be re-encoded as DivX fairly easily. Still large, but not overwhelmingly so. It's just that $20 seems a bit steep for a pirate DVD containing 3 episodes.

Probably so...but perhaps he's re-selling some he's legitimately bought, as an independent dealer?

Let's not rush to judge...

There are no legal DVD releases of Bionic Woman epsiodes in North America (and I suspect the rest of the globe). Instead of giving this guy $20 a pop for a pirated copy why not go to Amazon.com and join the Bionic Woman DVD waiting list. Each time a person joins the list it is like casting a vote for that material to be produced.

I have put myself on a few of these lists over the past year and thus far everything I have subscribed to has ended up getting the green light, most recently Wonder Woman Season 1.

My gosh,

Does that include the episode with Evil Toys?

Having that available would be fantastic!

Hmmm...now there's an idea...

Good thinking, Sabina

I don't think that's the same person Baron. The DVD I got has different menus, and there are no bugs or logos anywhere in the program. Also this guy states that they are taken from off air broadcast. The Ebay seller "claims" his are not recorded off air.

Kishin, I was just wondering if you noticed that the whole program seems to be ever so slightly sped up. Certain dialogue portions just sounded a little Chipmunky to me. Not to the point of distraction, but to my memory they just don't sound quite right.

Thanks for the tip, I've ordered mine.

We might want to suggest other unavailable material to this enterprising gent, and let him know "where we're coming from".
