Will 'In Search Of...' ever come out on DVD?
 
This show was a favorite as a kid. I realize many of the subjects have been explored much further since the show aired but it would be nice to get this on disc. If it's not out now, that's not a good sign. Anyone know if there has been word on whether it will happen, tied up in legalities, etc?

If they ever do, I'll be first in line to buy it. However, your old thread from the TV forum probably contains the most viable option for viewing the series for the foreseeable future...

Wasn't the movie "In search of Bigfoot" from this series?

I love this show. Like JackBurton said above me, I'd be one of the first in line to buy this.

I remember one episode revolving around alien abductions where I was rudely informed from my parents 'we are LEAVING to go out and eat', needless to say, it was during a dramatic recreation where someone was about to open a door to reveal.... [tv was shut off] never to be seen again - ugh.... yes I need to resee the series and watch what I missed.

I loved this show when I was a kid! I never missed an episode and believed every "theory" they presented. An ep about ghosts scared me silly. A must buy if it ever gets a release.

Loved this show!! I'd be afraid it would be ruined for me, though, if I revisited it as an adult.

ETA: Never mind, just checked out a snippet on YouTube and it's just as creepily good as it was in the 70's!

In Search of... - DVD Plans for the Legendary '70s Series Narrated by Leonard Nimoy Just licensed by VEI, with plans for the USA and Canada Posted by David Lambert 2/08/2012

In some other news today, we mentioned that our contacts at Visual Entertainment Inc. (VEI) of Toronto were back in the office now, following "some recent travel to sign a couple of deals for other upcoming home video titles." One of these is for USA and Canadian DVD sets of the legendary '70s show starring Leonard Nimoy, In Search Of..., which he took up following his roles on the original Star Trek as "Spock," his addition to Mission: Impossible as "Paris," and his return to playing "Spock" on Star Trek: The Animated Series. Nimoy narrated the program through 146 episodes which examined the scientific, the supernatural, the historical, and the mythical. Topics included "Ancient Aviators," "The Bermuda Triangle," "Bigfoot," "Killer Bees," "Martians," "Nazi Plunder," "Amelia Earhart," "Dracula," "UFOs," "Inca Treasures" and "The Magic of Stonehenge"...and those are just examples from the first season out of six!

VEI informed me today that they have licensed the North American rights to the complete series of the program, with the only issue being that a pair of episodes have not been fully cleared from a legal standpoint for home video release. One of these episodes is "In Search of... Lee Harvey Oswald," concerning the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy: the famous Zapruder film of the actual shooting would require separate clearance, which VEI is going to look into but - as the deal for the show itself has just been completed! - cannot guarantee yet that they'll be able to affordably do. Time will tell. VEI hopes to have the title out before this year is over, but it's too early to set a solid timeline on it, of course. Even if we have to wait until next year, it's GREAT to know that this highly-wanted program is finally on its way to home video. Want to get even MORE excited about this item? VEI is in talks with Leonard Nimoy to participate in bonus material for the DVDs, which hopefully would include "recent updates" to the topics of each installment, considering that knowledge would have grown in the past 4 decades for much of this. We're VERY excited over here, and we know you are, too! It may be quite a while before we have any, but stay tuned for updates as further developments occur.

Good, I'll be getting it when it comes out. I have a lot of great memories of watching this back in the 70's.

I really enjoyed the released VEI did for Gimme a Break and Kate and Allie, so I have some confidence that they will put together a nice set. I'll buy this day one.

I'd reckon it was this one:

The sequence that begins at about 6:10 scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

Not trying to crap, but why would this show be preferable to watching something newer from History Channel or whatever? Is it because of Nimoy or was the show truly unique in how it tackled its subject matter? I only watched it a few times as a kid.
