There's no justice in the world when discerning viewers are forced to enjoy Screech through Saved by the Bell DVDs, but we can't get a classic, thoughtful and entertaining series like Midnight Caller on DVD. What can we do to make the powers-that-be listen to the huge demand for Midnight Caller to finally have justice and be available on DVD?
The series has a ton of music throughout, it would be very expensive to clear the rights for the full series, so it's very unlikely it's ever gonna come out. The series has never even re-aired in the USA, aside from a short run on the Lifetime network in 1994.
It could be replaced, but I've only ever seen the series subtitled and never dubbed, so the original audio tracks probably don't exist.
I have a great set I made recorded from the original airings, so I'm happy in that regard. Just in case it never comes.
There were reruns in England this year and last year.
shareI keep checking and have not been able to find it on demand DVD
shareI can never fathom the crap TV shows that are issued on DVD.
But you have a quality, well written, brilliantly acted program and we can't get the seasons on DVD.
There's no sense of justice there at all.
This is probably my wife's favorite show. She talked about it when we met in 1994 and she still talks about it today. Next month is our 21st anniversary and i would love nothing more than to get it for her. I have Rick Brauns album with the theme (I'm a Rick Braun fan), but I didn't know until today that Brad Fidel did the shows score.Next to Dave Grusin he's my favorite film composer.

I see torrents for all 3 seasons, so must have been streaming or on DVD.
