UK early video release

Those videos of Dallas season nine are probably collector's items now.

They're probably not worth an awful lot of money but to a true die hard Dallas fan they'd be priceless.

If you wanted to you could buy yourself a working VCR off eBay, so you could play them again rather than getting rid of them.

Maybe you can find a VCR/DVD recorder combo and copy them onto discs.

This is fascinating! I knew that DALLAS was popular in the UK. I just did not know how much! It may have been more popular in the UK than in the US. UK audiences got DALLAS on home video way before us folks here in the US. I am not sure if in the UK they were showing the same episodes as they were here in the US simultaneously. If they were then the UK audiences received episodes on VHS before they were even aired on TV here in the US.

The first time US audiences were able to purchase episodes of DALLAS for home consumption was in 1995 when Columbia House released DALLAS: The Collector's Edition VHS tapes via their monthly subscription service. Each VHS tape contained 2 episodes.

I don't recall Dallas ever being released on VHS here in Australia but perhaps my good friend @Seaviewer could elaborate. If they were how did I miss this?

No, I don't remember it either. TV shows for home video didn't really take off until DVDs made it possible to to have whole seasons in a compact case. There were some early Star Treks and Man From U.N.C.L.E.s but I don't remember any Dallas.
