I just discovered the Brits have the Six Million Dollar
Man on DVD!

Now why is it that the BRITISH, of all people --
supposedly the country of refined and proper tastes -- are
busily making DVDs of our best schlock, and WE don't get
any of it??? I want my DVD collection to include the Six
Million Dollar Man, Airwolf, and MacGyver, none of which
are available here! Hell, I can't even get a decent copy of
the THEME from any of them (Airwolf I finally did, but I
had to track down a *JAPANESE* disc to do so).

By god, American schlock should be available to us
Americans!

(other gripe: iTunes talks about all the music it sells,
but I can't find a single anime tune on there. I *still*
have to get my anime soundtracks from Japan.)

Those are all just classics, I want them too! Hm, I wonder if anything will blow over the water from those, I haven't seen any of it here yet. But we do have Battlestar Galactica and Starsky and Hutch, so I hope we'll get some of the others as well one of these days :)

What anime music are you looking for exactly?

Oh, not too much right NOW...

... I was looking to download the main Akira theme, which I don't have the CD of. The only anime BGM soundtrack I'm looking for, and cannot find, and should've bought like eight years ago the one time I saw it, is New Super Android Cutey Honey (the OAV series released around then).

Hey, at least Knight Rider season 1 is out on DVD here. (Includes the bonus Knight Rider 2000!)

they must be starting to realize the market for the old shows as i saw the first season of Magnum PI and Columbo on the shelf the other day. if those are out, Airwolf and such can't be long to follow. though if desperate the ones you mentioned are at the UK Amazon (or preorder at Amazon.com).

they also have them at Columbia House if you have it there (or just subscribe to the Canuck one hehe.

Perhaps a solution to your delimma is only a few years away.
