Anybody familiar with these two Canadian shows and would you be interested in either of these if they were available COMPLETE and on DVD?

The Edison Twins is a Canadian television program which aired on CBC Television from 1982 to 1986; the Disney Channel also picked up the rights in the mid-1980s; 6 seasons were produced by Nelvana.

It starred Andrew Sabiston and Marnie McPhail as Tom and Annie Edison, Sunny Besen Thrasher as their mischievous little brother Paul, and Milan Cheylov as their bumbling friend Lance Howard. The show focused on the adventures of the main cast as they stumbled onto one problem after another, using the science wits of fraternal twins Tom and Annie to solve the situation.
Each episode ends with a short animated sequence illustrating a key scientific principle demonstrated in the preceding live action story.
The last name of 'Edison' is an homage to the inventor Thomas Edison.

Ready or Not was a Canadian teen drama series which aired on the Showtime Movie Channel (1993-1997) and later on the Disney Channel (1996-1997) and Global Television Network for 5 seasons and 65 episodes between 1993 and 1997.

The program follows teenagers Amanda Zimm (Laura Bertram) and Elizabeth "Busy" Ramone (Lani Billard) throughout life's struggles. The show began as a short film and was titled Thirty-Two Double A. Eventually the producers saw that the show had the potential to be popular and turned it into a series. Throughout the show's 5 year run, the girls matured from the sixth grade to the ninth grade. The show ends when one of the main characters (Amanda Zimm) has to move to the West Coast. Her best friend on the show, Busy Ramone, stays behind.

Oh man! I have looking for both of these shows forever. If these were available on DVD and complete, I would definitely want to get my hands on them.
