Just a warning to fans:

The quality of Bower's bootleg version is all over the place. Sometimes watchable, other times not. Worst thing isn't the occasional bad visual/sound quality, it's the jerky/broken up video because he obviously over-compressed everything to a single blu ray disc. It's worth buying if you're a fan, since you get his autograph, plus for the shows that haven't had an official release.

Bottom line: buy it to get the unreleased shows, but do everybody a favor and buy what is offered on amazon and itunes as video downloads, a big handful of shows. It will encourage future releases and perhaps a real DVD release of the show in full as it should be.

If it's worth it to you buy it and get your friends who are fans to buy it. And let it be known whereever you can that you want the whole show release on DVD.

As I grow older and older I fear that stuff like SYS and YCDToTV will die out before their time. It's a part of TV history that needs to be preserved.

Good luck all fans!

I bought a bootlegged version on eBay about 10 years ago, the quality was typical early 90's VHS but it was all good. I wish they did have a official DVD release, I would have bought that like I did the Pete and Pete DVD's. Now that this is in the iTunes store and Amazon I doubt there will be a DVD release for those classic shows, which is too bad as I still prefer DVD collections then a download to a computer or phone even though it's the same content. DVD and BluRay release of old shows as a whole I think will start to dye out due to the new download age, the same thing will happen to disc based video games which also sucks. The one good thing is that TV series already on DVD are starting to be drastically discounted, I recently bought the 7 season Buffy box set for $60 marked down from $200, and the X-Files is on sale now for about $85 marked down from almost $300 on Amazon.
