Digging for info on this, I found that there was to be a VHS and DVD release in 2002, I believe through Columbia House. Obviously, that didn't happen. I wonder if the plummeting VHS market, which might account for this project being cancelled, took the DVD plans along with it. Or maybe Columbia House didn't get a good enough response for the series and the plan was scrapped.
From the comments I remember, they weren't going to add any extras for the DVD; it was going to be a DVD version of the VHS. So no VHS, therefore no DVD.
I'd jump on season sets of this series, but would be a little annoyed with a CH set of two episodes per release.

Great show! The show premiered in 1993 and ran on Fridays at 7:00pm Central time right before The X-Files which also premiered that year. Brisco was, I think, just as good as X but it lasted only one season.

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

You didn't dig quite deep enough.. Columbia House DID release the VHS and it is STILL available (points to line of tapes on the shelf). No words on what happened to the DVD release (brother are they missing a market there)... same as Kolchak: The Night Stalker... on VHS, no DVD.

Wow, my two most wanted TV shows mentioned in one thread: Brisco County Jr and The Night Stalker. What are the odds?

Do they have the complete series on VHS? If so, about how much was it?

Thanks for the correction. I came across a web page touting the premiere tape of BC, Jr. and a link to Columbia House to start the offer, but it was a dead link. Plus Bruce Campbell's own website listing the availability of BC, Jr. as "TBD". Putting those bits of information together, I came up with the wrong conclusion. Again, thanks for setting me straight.

Now, how do we start bothering CH about getting those on DVD?

Well.. since Columbia House has "Land of the Giants" and "Alien Nation" available on DVD (pricey.. but available). I would figur it would be a no brainer for them do to Bricso and Kolchak before now...

but nnnooooooooooooo......

I can't get any information out of them...

This would be a great DVD collection to have. This was an excellent series, and I'm a huge Bruce Campbell fan.

yeah I'd love for this to come out on DVD. The show was hilarious. So far I've only downloaded like 14 eps before they all dissapeared online.

Hmm... they could really capitalize on product synergy by releasing this around the same time as Bubba Ho-Tep's eventual DVD release...

I taped most of them during the original run and caught the missing ones when it was running on TNT. Just about the only non-sports VHS still around my house. I'd love to replace them with DVD versions though.
