You can now pre-order season 1 of Profiler on DVD. The set will be released on June 24th. Has some extras. Follow the link for details. As always, a more or less complete list of TV on DVD is available.

Would anyone be interested in taking some videotapes off my hands? I’ve got boxes and boxes of tapes that I recorded shows on that I no longer need (or can afford to move when I move at the end of May). Many tapes were only recorded to only once (i.e. not taped to over and over again, just ’til I filled the tape), many include episodes of As The World Turns and Guiding Light from the ’90s. Some tapes would feature shows I’ve replaced or will be replacing with DVDs (like The X-Files, SportsNight). Other are just full of miscellaneous TV (you might find episodes of Cupid or EZ Streets or just boring lame stuff). Most tapes are Sony or Fuji or Scotch, if I remember right. Most tapes are unlabelled. I’d be selling them for cheap (50 or 75 cents per tape?)+postage and could try to meet certain requirements (like if you wanted “No soaps” or “just soaps” or “just Sony tapes” or whatever). Interested? Email me to make an offer or with any questions you might have. You could tape over whatever is on the tapes or do whatever you want with ‘em.
