It will probably be a no-frills, no extras, no clean-up edition, but it will still be nice to have.

Having NEVER actually seen the show, I can't wait to get this DVD to see it!!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeees!!!!!!

I've got the complete show on my hard drive now. Once this is released I can free up some space. Very cool. I hope Jackson gets a little bonus check for this. He's been working on that book of his for ten years.

Great news!

^He's what makes the show for me. I like Michael Gray too, but it bugs me a bit now that I know he was like 30 when he played Billy.

Bostwick really nailed the character. He played it with great sincerity, and had the look (minus the 70s hair cut). John Davey did the best he could, but he was ill-cast for the role in my opinion.

TVLand played a handful of episodes for a few months about 8 or so years ago and I recorded them. It's all I've got of the show. I kick myself for not picking up the Isis DVD set, which now goes for big bucks on the secondary market.

I remember when he was changed....I was so upset, Always thought Davey looked like a school teacher more than a superhero....

Bostwick looked like Cap had the smile and eyebrows.....the show shafted him when he got hurt. Can he still get royalties? I thought he was still part of generation of actors whose royalties ran out...and got the Royal shaft

I know I'll be disappointed when I watch them again, but it's very cool that this will finally be available.

actually you may not be. Since they were nowhere near the comic and they were Moral stories anyway, they play well for what they are.....actually I like the Elders angle and Mentor would have been cool to have in the comics.

I was thinking the same thing...

If I remember correctly, the comics tried that angle by pairing Billy up in a Winnebago with Uncle Dudley. They also interacted with some Elders...

They did...C.C. Beck even made him kinda look like Les Tremayne but it wasn't exactly like the show.... I think that's one of the many reasons Beck eventually got fed up and left DC.

[PNGwynne]

"Mentor" kind of was: they remodeled Uncle Dudley to jibe with him, and added a cross-country Bicentennial bout in a camper against Sivana, with educational stops along the way. See the Showcase Shazam! B&W TPB.


I'm thrilled to hear of a DVD release, but no clean-up is really lazy, since basic touch-up is a somewhat automated digital process today.

EDIT: Oops! I should read further, KW & Toyroom noted the comics' tie-ing with the show.
