Hi,

If you're looking for the Jack Palance hosted version of Ripley's from the early 80s, I have them. PM me if interested in setting up a trade.

How many episodes of Ripley's by Jack Palance do you have? The complete series? With commercials or menu of every episodes? Thanks.

In answer to your question, I have 65 episodes of Ripley's with Jack Palance. I transferred them directly from my original vhs recordings. 2 episodes per dvd. I don't get caught up in the whole commercials/not commercials, menus or not menus, when it comes to rare titles where there aren't other sets floating around. Commercials and menus can always be added or taken away, so what's the point in sweating that fact?

I actually would LOVE it if you had episodes with the original commercials, because that's what I collect....80's shows w/o/c.

I'd be interested if they had commercials.

Hi Jas,

It's me Joe. Actually these are my vhs tapings off Sci Fi Channel in the mid 1990s. When I said original, I meant I originally recorded these, and they don't come from a copy of a copy of a copy. Sorry for the confusion. Speaking of 80s stuff, I just received 200 plus vhs tapes from my old neighbor. They contain his recordings of shows from 1981 through 1987. I'll let you know what turns up.

Best, Joe

I agree, something that rare- you can always add menues- or info- getting the show is the hard part.


Its great when a set is all neat, and tidy and labeled- but I'll take rare anyway I can.
