So, long story short, m old man has literally been waiting almost 50 years (!!wtf!!) to find out what happens in the next episode after the last one he saw on TV sometime back in the 1970's.
It's for sale and available in the UK amazon, but for whatever reason they won't ship it to me. He has a dvd player that will play any international format, that I bought him to watch all the earlier discs in this series so he could catch up, but I've hit the wall trying to get him the next set of them. Help GD, you're my only hope!!! It's - The Sullivans series 1 volume 3 dvd, episodes #101 - 150. I will pay whatever I have to, to get him this. What can arfcom help me pull together? If someone is willing to buy it overseas and ship it to me, I will cover all costs up front. The dude is 73 and my mind is blown that I can't just get him these.  |

The thing is that it's from an independent bookseller. I'd contact them directly and ask how much to ship to the U.S. I'll bet they'll have no issue with it, as long as it's not an Amazon sale. |

Is he aware that there are additional volumes after that?
23 total with I'm guessing 50 epsiodes per volume. https://crawfordsdvd.com.au/all-titles/the-sullivans.html They won't ship over here, but even if they did, at $59.00 per volume that would add up, plus that's a fuck load of binge watching to catch up on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The reason they won't ship it is due to international copyrights and regional restrictions. Same thing that hits when you try to watch some foreign shows, you have to either VPN them or find a decent torrent service.

Yes. And I have been as well for about a year. I've successfully found him the first 100 episodes in two other sets over the course of the last year and a half, but this set has apparently kicked my ass. I give absolutely zero fucks what it costs. My old man wants to watch the rest of them, and it stopped being on TV right before a pivotal event that he's been waiting to find out what happens for damn 49 years. He's going to enjoy them all before he kicks the bucket, and I don't give a fuck if I have to suck some dicks or fucking murder some people to get it done. |

Can your father handle a non-DVD version? Like if someone were to find a video file of the show?
There's 1114 episodes in this series over 22 seasons. Holy crap, people thought MASH held on a long time. |

If you end up getting the UK DVD's make sure you have a region free DVD player to play them on.

I've got a ton of UK motorcycle racing DVDs and they all play fine on my NTSC tv. I bet most modern TV's should be able to handle the PAL signal ok, finding a region free DVD player might be the greater issue (haven't looked in a few years). |
