A bunch of episodes were posted on youtube, but got deleted.
Most people bought the series themselves off ebay when somebody was selling bootlegged copies of them. I don't think the person is selling them anymore, but no harm in checking, eh?

You could face a heavy penalty/lawsuit if you tried to sell bootleg copies on eBay. Yahoo wasn't as strict.

The opening to the TV series theme makes me really happy, and I couldn't ever figure out why. Then I was watching the last episode today, and I realized why: the offbeats remind me of the opening to Kenny Loggins' "Footloose". ;D

Wish I could get my mitts on the TV series.
Incidentally, I read a summary of the various episodes - and I dunno if you guys noticed this but a LOT of them seemed to read like bad fanfiction cliche plots; one that stands out in my mind is some of the guys starting up that rock band or whatever, and there was a real rash of "Johnny and the Ga-Ga Girls" (or whatever band name the Suethor came up with) type fics in late '05 and early '06 if memory serves.

From the very few clips I have seen on youtube predeletion I just felt like the characters weren't really...well canon, particularly Tim. Maybe I just fangirl Tim too much, but I felt they made him too soft and it just didn't feel right, in my very humble opinion. Another Illusion

I agree with you. I imagine they had to make him a bit more family friendly for tv viewing. I do actually like his character in the tv series though, I just don't think of him as the same character from the book.
I totally don't buy that this supposed gang leader reforms for some minimum wage factory job. I'm not a fan of reforming the bad boys anyway, but if its going to be done, they better give them a good reason to go straight.

Agreed, I probably would have liked it more if I felt there was a reason to go straight, but it just wasn't there. Another Illusion

The TV show was made in 1990, aka, not *that* long ago, lol. They actually dealt with some very serious topics - maybe too many. It had the feeling of a slightly more adult after-school special at times. I have a feeling that the writers just didn't research into the characters well enough to appease the fans, which is not really that surprising. They really should have just let S.E. have a stronger hand in it. I wonder how the TV show came off to people who didn't know the book or movie before watching it; whether it's actually an okay show on it's own.

It's pretty difficult to find, to be honest. Once in a blue moon someone will make illegal copies and sell them, lol, but that's about as good as you'll get. It's pretty unfortunate.
