[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8374950, member: 7026594"] TBH I had kind of assumed that there had been some sort of delay, but it looks like not much if any. I remember the first series/season being shown as a marathon overnight on a Saturday night by our local PBS affiliate in Philadelphia when I was a 13 or 14, though I can't remember the exact year. I was excited about it and wanted to record it on our VHS player, but realized that I would have to stay up all night watching, because at the longest-play/lowest quality recording, a tape would hold a max of 6 hours of video, but with the pledge drive breaks the marathon would run from midnight to 7am. So I had to stay up and stop recording at the breaks, resuming when they ended, to fit it onto a single tape! I managed it, though, and my younger brother and I watched that tape of the first season many times, as well as the next few, though eventually we stopped following the show. :) Doesn't Gust of Wind require beans? :LOL: [/QUOTE]
