Question Baa Baa Black Sheep

Would anyone know where I may be able to purchase a copy of this TV series.

Thanks KGV

Unless you tape it yourself off TV re-runs, there is practically no chance of obtaining it, even in the U.S. on NTSC.
My understanding is that actor Robert Conrad bought most of the rights to the series, and prevents it being released on video. Maybe some kind of payback for the series being cancelled....which I understand he was very angry about.

Regards

Thanks Warning,

I've tried everywhere to get a copy. But that may explain why.

It was a shame it was cancelled, it was one of my favorites.

Try the original "Baa Baa Black Sheep" book from Col. Gregory Boyington (Wilson press, inc. Fresno).

It's a piece of personal stories out of WWII !

I recall seeing a catalogue somewhere where you could buy some or all the episodes on videocasette. I'll check it out and post it here. I think the catalogue was from either NPR or PBS in the US.

If they are in fact available, they may not work in Australia because of a different system.
