A release of Almost Live! on to DVD does not look to promising
according to this article http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/thebigblog/archives/125525.asp

“Keister suggested a way fans can build their very own DVD set: Set your Tivo to record KING/5 every Saturday at 1 a.m. You’ll get there eventually.”
I would like to add to his suggestion by advising you to use a Hard drive DVD recorder instead of a Tivo, the Tivo does not allow you to edit out the commercials.
I use such a recorder and so far collected 245 Commercial Free episodes on DVD.
These shows that have re-run were all originally aired from 1989 to 1999 with nothing in the 1984 to 1988 time range.
I would really like to get a program guide for these shows to see how many I’m missing from a complete collection.
I would guess that there are probably 10 to 15 nuggets left to find, so the hunt goes on.
If anyone is looking for info on any certain skit let me know, I have hand written listings of all the skits in my collection.

Having worked for King TV I know that Almost Live will most likely never be released on DVD. It’s not a management thing; it’s because of the music that was used on the show. Nobody ever got permission or paid the royalties. It would take hundreds, even thousands of hours to screen each episode, contact every music owner, work out an agreement and make sure everything was legal. King TV just isn’t interested in investing the time, money and resources for that small of a return. However I doubt that they care about it being posted on youtube, ect.

Hey there,
I’m just postin up the same stuff as everybody else but I’d also like to know if anybody has any digital copies of any of the episodes. There are some skits on youtube but it isn’t the same as watching the full episodes. Does anybody know how strict King is about pirating episodes of the show? I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it was available but until then perhaps we could post them on my as of now unused mac webpage for people to download until then.

Hi there!

Huge fan of Almost Live! I’ve been trying to find archived shows from 1988 or 89. Can’t remember. Anyway, my friends and I were on the show, and my friend recorded it on VHS, but he lost the tape recently. Do you by chance have this posted somewhere?

Thanks for your help,
Joel

I’ve received word directly from the mouth of KING 5 General Manager that Almost Live will never be released on DVD. Who knows, maybe in a few years, other management may changed their mind! We can only hope!

Hi James, as far as I know, King5 has no plans on releasing any or all of th Almost Live! shows. I’m working on getting as many as I can in a digital format and will e-mail you when I get some.

Does King 5 ever plan on releasing Almost Live on DVD? If not, could I get an e-mail with the address where you would put the files if you’re planning on posting all of the episodes for Almost Live?

Hi Tom, I sure don’t but I’m working with a person who works at King 5 studios to procure some digital copies. If I manage to get them, I’ll send you an e-mail to the address you left on your comment.

Thanks,
Michael
