I did a quick search at:
Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
http://www.imdb.com/
and found entries for the 1 hr 40 min movie and the series, but there
is no listing for DVD, VHS, or any other format. This isn't a surprise
given that it was a minor series that didn't last very long (which is
no comment on its quality).
If you go to the IMDB site listed above, you can see for yourself by
searching for the title of the series:
Our Family Honor
I also did a search on the world's biggest auction site, eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/
where I have noted that bootleg editions of lots of TV series are put
up for auction (and often pulled before they can be sold ... but not
always!). There are no current listings, nor none in the last 30 days.
Your only hope would be to execute the search on Google:
://www.google.com/
as both a WEB search and a GROUPS search (note the tabs near the top
of the screen when you go to search google) and try and find others
who liked the show (like me!). You would then put the word out for
videotapes from fellow afficionados.
This IS going to be a hard one to find (frankly, I like the hunt
myself).
You could also try to contact ABC at:
http://www.abc.com/
Click on the "Contact ABC" link at the bottom of their home page. I
wouldn't hold out a lot of hope, but you can only ask!
