Sightings On DVD

Hey fellow sightings fans.

I too would like to see the show brought to DVD, but i don't like the odds of it happening. If it does I have a feeling that it will be released much like the Unsolved Mysteries DVDs, with each one being devoted to a specific subject. That would be a lot less risky for whoever decided to release the DVD since they only have to make maybe 2 or 3 DVD's per set as opposed to 7 or 8 for a whole season. There are a few things that may get the show released though. Numer one being that Henry Winkler had a hand in it and he's always said he really loved the show, and number two beging that the paranormal sells. If they do release the show on DVD in some form I hope they add at least 1 extra feature updating the stories with any new information that came up after the show went off the air.

As for Unexplained Mysteries did anyone notice that Henry Winkler and Ann Daniel were excutive producers on that show as well as sightings? Seems like they just recut sightings footage(removing Tim White completely) and made another show out of it. Not that I'm complaining, since they show a lot of footage from the first two seasons which never aired after fox canceled it in 1993. (only seasons 3 through 5 aired on scifi) Maybe Henry and Ann made the show cause they couldn't get sightings out on DVD so they figured this was the next best thing.

I'm also wondering how many people here recorded the episodes? I have pretty much all of season 3,4, and 5 since they aired on sci-fi so much. I also have some season 1 and 2 episodes(around 8) but not nearly as many as I wish I had. I also have both sightings books and 2 of the videos. (the ghost and UFO reports) The videos are from early in the series while the books are a pretty good round up of the series.

I used to have the first two seasons on VHS. However, as time went on, I lost the tapes. Would you (or anyone else reading this thread) be willing and/or able to make copies of the seasons you have recorded? If so, please reply with your e-mail address. Cheers.

none of these private messages seem to be getting to me. Send them to [email protected]. Put "Sightings" as the title.

I'll e-mail you, but for some reason, the outlook express on my PC isn't working, so I'll e-mail you with my friends e-mail(she is letting me use it). It will be titled Sightings Episodes.
Look out for that title. Thanks!

Yea I noticed Henry Winkler's [aka the Fonz] name on a lot of paranormal movies and television shows. He's been into the paranormal for sometime... Check out his bio on INDB, you might be shocked at some of the para shows he's either produced or directed... Will L G

Does anyone know if this is out on DVD yet, or if not, where I can get a good-sized collection of episodes? I'm mainly interested in the ufo related segments, but I love the entire show. The Tim Edwards ufo segment was what began my interest in the subject, but just about every episode contained something ufo-related. They sometimes contained groundbreaking info too, some that I still can't find repeated online to this day. For example, I remember the Thomas Mantell ufo episode, where they featured the man in the tower who last spoke to Mantell before he died. I think he was in his 80's or 90's, and, at the bequest of his son, he had decided to speak to Mantell's children and tell them what really happened, since they had never received a real explanation from the Air Force.
I'm dying to sift through other episodes that I missed, for one reason or the other, to see what other goodies their investigators dug up.
I loved the way they actually took each segment seriously, as if it were an actual news broadcast, an in a way it was.
If anyone can help please contact me at [email protected].

I love Sightings. I just found a facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/750531938423632/
just for people who also love Sightings. Maybe if there were more people that joined, or we started a petition. Maybe we could get Sightings DVD released, there is power in numbers.

SHOCK ME, SHOCK ME, SHOCK ME, with that deviant behavior!
