OK, does anybody remember that CNN documentary series from 1998-1999 entitled "Cold War"??? It's a 26-part documentary that lasted 6 months. In my opinion, it was the greatest documentary series in history. It was probably my favourite non-comedy related program on TV in my life. It was completely better than anything Ken Burns has ever done, and I think Ken Burns is a genius.

So what I'm looking for is the entire series on DVD. I know it exists on video, but I need the DVD set. I don't care if it costs 1,000 dollars. I'm expecting some money to come my way this summer anyway, so I'll be able to afford it.

I NEED to have that DVD series!!! If anyone knows where one can purchase it online, that would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'll keep this kicked if I don't get any responses.

5. The problem is that DVDs weren't common in 1998-99...
...so there might be a slight chance it doesn't exist on DVD. But then again, knowing the marketing savvy of CNN, I'm sure they produced a DVD set too.

and only about $100. :D

edit: sorry, that was the VHS. Check the details and contact the producer or distributer and ask them when it will be available on DVD.

8. It appears to only be in VHS
Amazon has a link for "other formats" typically when they exist. A search for it under DVDs yields nothing. That is a pretty good sign your not going to find anything in your preferred format.

9. It was a great documentary
I remember watching most of the episodes. There were a few I didn't catch. I found extremely educatational as well, but never dull.
