New Member (Hiya!!!)

jwhalen
Greetings all!

My name is John. I live in Connecticut, and I had almost forgotten
about UFO, until just recently, when I was listening to music at a
friend's house. The band we were listening to was Meat Beat
Manifesto. They are a sort-of drum 'n bass band... Well anyway, One
of their songs (If anyone needs to know the name of it, i can find
out tomorrow) uses samples of the sounds of the UFOs! Suddenly I am
like HEY WAIT WHOA GO BACK WHAT WAS THAT.. of course my friend had no
idea what UFO was... I tried and tried to explain it to him, but he
just didnt understand it. Needless to say, I am now OBSESSED with
trying to recapture this memory from my youth that I barely
remember... Yet I DO remember that I though it was SO cool to watch!
I remember when the ITC theme blasted out, I would get goosebumps
because it meant it was either t-birds or UFO... and I was one happy
camper!

Well, I'm sure I've rambled aimlessly enough...

:) - John

LOL!

Naaah, rambling is good ....

I never saw the show as a kid. I didn't discover it till it first came
on the SciFi Channel several years ago. I probably would not have become
such a huge fan had it not been for finding this group just at the right
time. 8-)

When there is no one to discuss stuff with, it's hard to keep the
fascination alive. I was a huge Dr Who fan for a while, but that kind of
faded. Same with the Man from UNCLE and Mystery Science Theatre 3000
<shrug>

Welcome aboard, John!

minutes from New Haven.

No Problemo, Rob :)

Now of course, *I* have a question...

How on earth can I get my hands on VHS of the series? Is there a
tree set up? If so, who do I send my blank tape / postage / first
bron child to?

Contact me off-list - I have an extra set from the sci-fi channel.
Note - I have a teenager at home and only check my mail once a day, so if I
don't get back immediately, don't panic.

Cinema Classics (www.cinemaclassics.com) sells copies of the PolyGram
Video series release a few years ago, which contains all of the
episodes except:

Reflections in the Water
The Man who Came Back
Identified
Computer Affair

They also sell the first volume as "Invasion: UFO" which is a 90-odd
minute feature, put together from parts of "Identified", "Computer
Affair", and "Confetti Check AOK".

These are PAL to NTSC conversions however, so they are a bit speeded
up. Also the quality ranges from good (survival) to barely watchable
(long sleep).
