You can see almost every episode on youtube any time you like.  It's not exactly the most defended IP ever.

So how's the audio?  Big Finish has been pretty good on other projects in the past.

It was on Forces TV earlier in the year.

Series one evidently stuck in my mind as I could remember the episodes, defensively series two had faded away quite a bit.

It's got the Second Season Curse that many shows suffer from.  Buck Rogers would be another unhappy example.

Yeah, I think you can blame Freiberger (and general US network meddling) for a lot of the weaknesses in the second season...series, whatever you want to call it.  He didn't have a great rep in the industry, and it got worse the longer he inexplicably kept getting work.
