I haven't found anybody with HD Net. :-C

 

Yeah, Paramount isn't very good about releasing stuff. I suspect we only got some famous TV series, after CBS-TV came into the picture. (I haven't checked the release dates). CBS is no help for theatrical.

 

On the other hand, someone went to the expense of transferring it to HD. That often foreshadows a release. It also means they might defray some of the expense by farming it out to other networks. (I imagine Nick and Cartoon Network are too lame, but maybe TMC, AMC, Encore...). (Isn't Disney Channel stuck on their own catalog? I never pay any attention to them).

Race For Your Life has an interesting footnote in home video history.

CED is a lot better than videotape. The quality is closer to laserdisc, and a good (composite-output) player will give you a clean picture. (Once the needle dislodges any dust deposits). I've got a nice player, but I don't recall seeing that cover before I boxed up the collection that came with the player.

Was it on laserdisc? (Currently, I only have an non-decent LD player).

eBay only shows VHS, at the moment.
