The Only U.S. Fan

Hi! My name's Ben and I am seemingly the only Gerry Anderson fan in the united states. I
haven't seen any episodes of this show. My mother deemed it to violent! But she let me
watch Indiana Jones where a guy gets his heart pulled out then is thrown into a lava pit
where we watch him being burnt up. Not to mention a guy being trapped in a rock crusher
and kids being whipped. She's a mystery to me. Anyway, Marc's site has already explained
much of the show to me. Has anyone in this group heard of Terrahawks? If anyone has I'd
like to know. Thanks!

Ben, there are probably hundreds of people on this list from the US.
Including me. I realize that a lot of people in the US don't know about
UFO or Gerry Anderson, but you're certainly not the *only* US fan. Not
even close!

Compared to other Supermarionation projects, it looked like hand-puppets, and I, personally, thought it stink,stank, stunk!

Hi Ben, I'm a Gerry Anderson fan from Cedartown, Georgia. I like UFO and Space:1999
primarily. I was on the FAB-UFO list a while back, and recently discovered this list on Yahoo
groups.

You can find UFO (and Space:1999) DVD'S on Netflix.com if you would like a chance to see
them all without having to purchase the discs first. They also offer a 1-month trial
membership if you are interested. I bought my UFO DVD sets from Amazon.com, but joined
Netflix for a Film class that I took last fall. To my delight, Netflix had the entire series of both
UFO and Space:1999.

You can also purchase the entire series (in the USA) for $40:

Can anyone describe if these are the "good" sets people have been
talking about here lately?....
like,
are these the Carton sets, the complete 26 ep set with the digital
remastering, etc?

I have the whole series on tape, but I'm debating buying the series on a
DVD set. Is the video quality better enough to justfy it, etc?

The set that people have been talking about lately (in the US)
is the "UFO megaset". Typically this sells for about $70 discounted.
The sets at Edward Hamilton are the older version, which had the
series split into two sets. However, the discs are identical to
those in the UFO megaset. The only difference is the packaging.

I prefer the packaging in the UFO megaset, but you'd need to
decide if that's worth $30.

Either way, the DVDs are remastered, uncut, and look a LOT
better than any videotape. Plus you get 4 commentary tracks,
plus some other extras.

Thanks Marc.

What differences in the packaging might I want to consider?
Is it just the boxing and wrapping, or are there booklets, posters,
fold-outs, etc inside?

There are no posters, foldouts, or booklets in either.

The original 2 sets come in opaque plastic
cases that contain 4 discs each. It's
rather wierd, and it's a bit awkward to close. The
only piece of "artwork" is a single sheet of paper
which is printed on both sides (and difficult to
read through the opaque plastic)

set 1 looks like this from the outside:
http://www.newvideo.com/productdetail.html?productid=NV-AAE-70495

set 2 looks like this from the outside:
http://www.newvideo.com/productdetail.html?productid=NV-AAE-70632

The megaset has an outer box (cardboard) with 8 individual
volumes stored inside, each with their own plastic case.

the megaset looks like this from the outside:
http://www.newvideo.com/productdetail.html?productid=NV-AAE-70988

The discs are identical on both, so it's only the way
they are packaged that's different.

There are some more pictures and scans on my website at:
