Do you guys remember that name of the site that has them for sale for a good price? This was the TV series not the movie.

I bought mine from a private party on Ioffer.com for $90 postpaid. No frills... just 39 DVDs in cheap plastic sleeves with just a tiny label stuck on the front to indicate which disc number it is (1 thru 39). No other info at all.

There are some commercial outfits selling DVD sets for anywhere from $199 to $299. The extra $100 to $200 is apparently for the fancy labels on the disks and the fancy jewel cases.

The easiest way to find them is to use Google.

Cheers!

Dean,
Just wondering, how's the picture quality on those? Any extras, or just the episodes themselves?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

Sorry for the delayed response. I just got done watching two back-to-back episodes a couple of minutes ago. The picture is crystal clear, as is the sound. There is an annoying "History Television" logo at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, indicating that the shows were apparently bootlegged off of some cable TV channel :roll: but it's no worse than actually watching the broadcast. Oh, and there are no extras on the discs, just two episodes per disc. I think it was worth the $90, although I'm not sure I'd recommend that seller because it took WAAAAAAAY too long to get the DVDs once I paid for them, and there wasn't a whole lot of communication going on. Still, if you're a fan of 12 O'Clock High, ya just gotta have it! :wink:

B-17s rule... 8)

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure the History Channel sells them as well...somehow.
