Spotless Shaw, unscarred by a life of hard work.

@McGrenzer A little too spotless to be realistic?

Where can I get this show on D.V.D. ?

[LoreneFaith]

@jnproctor It is available on dvd. Do a google search and you should find several sites that sell it.

There are two versons of the opening. In the other one, Shaw gives a wolfish grin before lowering his arm, and the whole ship blows up! I think that one is slightly better. Could we get that one too?

[LoreneFaith]

@FrankLJ Sorry, but I have no way of getting that one.

Yikes! Another memory from my childhood. YouTube is supreme.

Anyonhe here remember that wonderful shot of Shaw at the beginning of the theater film, Swashbuckler, standing in the ship's rigging in that yummy red outfit with the Errol Flynn shirt...or maybe we should call it the Robert Shaw shirt? :-)

I'd like to know if this t.v. show is on d.v.d. I'd love to get it. Can someone tell me where I could find it?
