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.)

Intertesting article in Canada about a guy putting together: "30,000 TV episodes, movies and MP3 music files." "We've reached the point now where the PVR has so much in storage already that it is set to simply record anything that isn't already on disk.""
