Loved Tanner '88. Wish it was commercially available or even repeated on TV!

it's out on DVD. It's still fresh 20 years later.

Unfortunately, I think it's only available on Region 1 DVDs, viewable in USA (and by those with multi-regional DVD players of course). But I wait in hope.

I'm not sure why such excellent TV isn't shown more. I loved everything about it, great writing, directing and acting ... i remember Pamela Reed being particularly good.

I don't know either. ???

I have the Criterion Collection set with a little sticker on it says director approved and there is a nice little pamphlet with a couple of reviews and the cast and credits all listed out. yep, region 1.

TJ was a great character.

i love altman, but this series is such a left-wing biased piece of shit! literally, it's so gaggy.

The criterion collection released a great dvd with great material, as they always do, of tanner. The sundance film channel also shows it once in a while, so it is not completely in oblivion. I advise you to check out the criterion dvd, its great!
