    Looking for 80s TV show
    I am looking for a 1985 TV show on DVD or Video. It was called (saban's) Grimms Fairy tales, and I think it was aired on nickelodeon. I know it is japanese animation versions of the fairy tales. It also went by the name Grimm's Masterpiece Theatre. I am looking for any type of VHS or DVD version of these. I would like the entire collection, but any would do. The theme song is located here: Grimm's Fairy Tales
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have had no luck on Ebay... ;)

    Firm believer... that is the correct show, I have seen that website before, but it doesn't give info on where to buy the DVD or VHS... thanks though!

    Glenda - it was the best show growing up. I used to know the theme song by heart.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimm's_Fairy_Tale_Classics#DVD.2FVHS_Releases

    The wikipedia page only gives info on the DVD release in Portugal and Spain.

    Though it does have links to Nippon and Saban who distributed it.

    Hi Alkalineangel,
    These probably aren't the most legitimate editions or places to purchase these, but... if you really want them here are two links to the whole series on six DVD's:

    Take care.

    Glenda-had to spread the love, but thanks!

    All the links were helpful. It looks like there is no "real" US release...

    I looked on Ebay and there was nothing either. Usually somebody is selling some old VHS tape. Maybe keep on eye on that?
