I saw this on Showtime last month. And I made a dvd-R of the showtime broadcast I recorded. I would still like to see MGM, who has rights, put this Awsome movie on dvd though. In fact, this, Trancers, Zone Troopers, Arena, From Beyond, and Psychos in Love would be perfect additions to MGM's Midnite Movies lineup!

this has been on Showtime as of late fella's. & i keep forgetting to tape it just so i can have another "BAND" filn in my collection & it's in widescreen! it's only i think shot in 1:85 buuuut that's ok. at least we aren't missing really ANY of the screen ya know? I ALSO feel ThAT one fo the STUPIDEST idea's for film was the invention of widescreen. while i LOVE watching a movie widescreen & REFUSE To watch it any other way. movies that were around before they invented it were just find when it wasn't around. ya know? wouldn't you agree guys?
Gay Actor Says He Was Blacklisted After Coming Out The former costar of the long-running Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, claims that job offers suddenly disappeared after a picture of him kissing another man was published in a tabloid magazine in 1996. Chad Allen, who played Matthew Cooper on the series from 1993-97, said during an interview Friday on ABC's 20/20 that, rather than accept his publicists' advice to cover up the matter, he decided to come out -- a decision, he indicated, that virtually put the brakes to his career. "You know, you're talking to a guy who never stopped working from the time he was five years old. I came out, and it stopped," he said. "The year after Dr. Quinn was over, I couldn't get an audition for a pilot for the same network I worked six years in a top-ten television series for." Allen said that it is his belief that it will take an A-list movie star to come out before film producers are willing to hire openly gay actors in starring roles. "I am so certain of that as a fact," he said, "that the audience could care less."
I actually had no idea he was gay. Chad Allen played the little hero Sherman Putterman.

I loved this movie...great cover, great tagline, etc. And did I mention I LOVED the theme song? haha. I thought the monster was kind of cute though...
I just thought this movie was all around funny. I love the grandfather who thinks he is in a warzone, and the father. My favorite part is when he puts the TV on channel 69...

That's pretty cool.
Anyways, it's been 23 years since the movie came out and still no DVD, except for bootlegs. If Lions Gate still had the distribution rights to TerrorVision (Explanation on terms of distribution rights: Lightning Video released this on VHS in the 80s. Lightning was a sub-label of Vestron Video, which got absorbed into Live, which became Artisan, which has now been absorbed into Lions Gate), there could have been a legit special edition DVD by now.
