Get a Life

I have never seen this show. There are 35 episodes, but only 8 are out on DVD. What a rip!  :'( >:( :'(

Even worse!! They're out of print, so I'd have to pay 40 bucks EACH for used DVDs. WTF?

Cough *bittorrent* cough.

Buy the ones available for sale. Stealing is bad.

I'm ashamed to admit that I did look and was unable to find anything.

I'll pay $80 for a collection compiling every episode. Gladly. But for eight episodes? Buuuuuullshit.

This place has all 35 episodes for $48.00. I'm not sure how legitimate it is.

I got mine at a comic book/toy convention 10 years ago or so...

I also have a VHS of 4 hours of Chris Elliott bits from Letterman, which is amazing.  It used to be available for a "donation" from a guy who ran a fan site years ago.  I've been meaning to convert it to DVD, subdivided into recurring characters, etc.  Has anyone else seen this or would have any interest in a DVD of it?

I would, I would! I best know Chris Elliot from his guest appearances on Letterman, and I love them.

 The Guy Under the Stairs? Marlon Brando doing the banana dance?

 Yes please.

The tape has stuff spanning like 10 years, from the young and creepily Amish-bearded Chris to guest appearances after he stopped working on the show.  Marlon Brando, Regulator Guy, the Guy Under the Seats, the Chris Elliott, Jr. Show (a la Morton Downey, Jr.), the Fugitive Guy, etc.  Brilliant.  It doesn't contain, however, one of my favorite TV moments ever: Chris comes on as a guest, only wearing a black speedo.  The audience roars for 2 minutes straight while Chris acts nonplussed at the reaction.  Then he has a short, dry chat with Dave and leaves.

If I take on the challenge of putting this on a DVD I'll let the FOTs know about it!

There's a fair amount of goodies on YouTube also.

I've had the official collection on my Zip queue (Canadian equivalent of Netflix) for nine months now. Is it the other Canadian FOTs that are ahead of me in line? Emma, if you've been holding on to that thing please put it back in the mail.
