2009 - A good year for 80's DVD's!

Even with all the cable channels and DVD releases, a bunch of great 80's TV shows still remain unseen. But soon, some of the best will be coming to DVD...

Tales From The Darkside: Season 1 will finally be released February 10th. I consider this series equally as good as The Twilight Zone. I watched all four seasons when they originally aired and can't wait to see them all again. Especially some of the fun ones from season one like "Djinn, No Chaser", "The Madness Room", "The Tear Collector" "The False Prophet", "In The Cards", and "Snip, Snip".

Friday The 13th - The Series: Season 1 was released a few months ago. That's the season that had my absolute favorite episode of the series - The Quilt Of Hathor. It was a two-parter where they had to track down a cursed object in an Amish-like community. Season 2 also had some great episodes, including one with a cursed radio ("And Now The News")! The 2nd season comes out February 10th. I'm guessing the 3rd and final season won't be too far behind.

Mr. Belvedere: It ran for six seasons and rarely gets rerun anymore. But that won't matter now that seasons 1 & 2 will be out on DVD March 17th. If it sells well, maybe the releases will continue and I'll finally get to see the ten episodes from the final season that never aired. Life would be very good then. Amazon doesn't have it listed yet, but here's a look at the package art.

California Dreams: I know this wasn't an 80's show, but it was close. I don't care what anyone says, this show was way better than Saved By The Bell. It debuted in 1992 and lasted 78 episodes. You can see the first 31 very soon - seasons 1 & 2 are coming to DVD March 31st. Amazon doesn't have this listed yet, but here's the package art.
