Thanks for all the oldies. I really enjoy the classic TV programs. Any chance on getting Truman Bradly’s Science Fiction Theater?
Nope. And as far as I know any DVD’s you’ll find on ebay/elsewhere or episodes you will find online are illegal pirate copies. The lawyers for Ziv Television were scrupulous about protecting most of the Ziv Television shows from entering the public domain. Unfortunately, the commercial value is so low that making legitimate DVD releases is unlikely.
