The owners of this show should put a few episodes on youtube officially

One of my friends on another board mentioned this show as good one, but I have never seen it before, therefore I don't know if I'd like it or not.

I'm not gonna shell out ~$100 on a blind buy. That would be gambling. What if I don't like it? Then I'd be out $100 for nothing.

I'm sure most people feel the same way.

So basically, the only people who are going to buy this show on DVD are preexisting fans who already know about it from when it originally aired.

The owners of this show would make more money for themselves and convert new fans to buy the DVDs if they officially put a few episodes on youtube, so that potential new viewers could decide if they like it or not before buying it.

The current strategy of not putting any episodes on youtube officially is only going to alienate potential customers from considering to buy the DVDs.

I have seen many of these episodes. Some were really good. It was sorta like a Tales from the Crypt/and Twilight Zone mixed! It also has been awhile since I have seen any of these.

I am shocked that they don't play these anywhere as of lately that I know of.

Hopefully they will put them out there so you and others can see them. :)

It's brand new on eBay for like 45 dollars.

As far as I can tell, it's more than 45 on eBay...more like 60. And then there is shipping, and bull crap "handling fees," and taxes, etc. After all that is added, the final price ends up being the same as or only slightly less than the MSRP which is apparently $89.
