Was just thinking about this show...one of my favorites from my childhood.

Has it ever been legitimately released on DVD? eBay has a ton of copies for auction, but I can't find any info to indicate that they're legit releases.

No, but I'd probably buy it if it got released. I still remember watching those!

Ohhh, that would be a good one. If we could only get it around the same time as Young Indiana Jones, it would be a good time indeed. And if Wizards and Warriors made it to DVD, then all the better.

Another HELL YES!! for this! Loved this show when I was a youngling!

I have a strong feeling that my memories of this show are a LOT better than the actual show.

Anyway, no... the eBay copies are not legit. But if Indy 4 becomes a reality ever, it would probably be a good time for someone to put this out. I could picture Anchor Bay putting together a pretty nice package.

As corny as this series would probably seem to today's more "sophisticated" (and take that with a grain of salt!) audiences, I will say that this series had one of the best THEME SONGS of all time...I'm humming it as I type...

Don't forget Caitlin O'Heaney too!

I'd buy it for sure! Not sure how it would hold up today, but as a kid I loved it! --RickWJ324

It was released officially on DVD on June 8, 2010

it retails for $30.99 at Amazon

Is this worth a blind buy? I never heard of the show. From clips on youtube, it looks extremely low budget and cheesy, but I love movies set in the Amazon.

I remember it would air around 10pm in the early 80's when I was a kid but I don't remember much about the show.

me neither.. I'll check out some youtube clips and decide if I want to purchase or not.

Cheesy indeed, but a fun send up of the Indiana Jones style adventure. Set in the South Pacific, not the Amazon. From the producer of Magnum PI. I got the box and so far have just watched the pilot, with the weird baboon like monkeys and John Hillerman (Higgins of Magnum) as a dumpy, slow moving, unscary Gestapo agent. Only thing not to like is the murky sound; a lot of dialog is hard to understand and no subtitles. I wouldn't recommend a blind buy, but if you remember the show fondly give it a shot.

I used to watch it but agree that I don't know how it'll hold up. Maybe I'll rent a disc...

This is currently $26.99 on Amazon. That's the cheapest I've seen it so I think I might take the plunge.

$19.99 this week at Best Buy (both in-store and online):

Thanks, njwiv!

Glad to help, Jack!

Hmmm...amazon.com usually comes down in price when stuff like this happens. I wonder if we will see a drop.
