 We've pretty much discussed that game show DVDs aren't exactly commercially viable entities. Best of Newlywed Game VHS videos from c. 1997 were recently spotted in a one-dollar bin at some stores.

 But I invite everyone to go to that site and put in their request for Max Headroom. :)

Have you guys bought your YBYL box set yet?  Also, there is an ep of "Stump the Stars" with Pat Harrington on the Dick Van Dyke season 2 box set.

 Do you happen to know for sure whether it's the entire episode?  A fragment of that episode circulates among collectors, and I personally would be very interested in seeing the entire show.

From what I understand it's the entire 27 minute STS show.

If we can't get the whole Headroom series, Chris, let's get the best of both worlds with the infamous "Whackets" episode....

With the number of airings per week coming up on GSN, you don't think Love Connection is encoded, do you? :-)
