I also watched TPOMS every week here in Holland when I was about 9 years old.The episode I remember best was Experiments,with a dolphin.Later I found out that Peter Barton and I are born on the same day.Jus a few months ago I discovered the whole series on You tube,at the channel of a certain Sierra Moon 131.THe quality isn't that good,but who cares. And recently I ordered a DVD box in America. This is the link for all the fans,including Jan.http://www.ioffer.com/i/the-powers-of-matthew-star-1982-83-sci-fi-tv- series-116176149@Jan,in total including transaction costs it will be around €40,-(the price of the DVD in €,transactionfee at a Western Union office(mostly found at a GWK)Money orders aren't available in Holland anymore)and sending the letter with track&trace at the post office).Have loads of fun,either at You tube or this DVD box(contains 4 DVD's)

Hi from Holland.I watched some Matthew Star episodes when I was about 9 or 10 years old, but I never found video's of this great series.I remember some things of the program, but not many. All I know is that I was very interested.In Holland I still cannot find any video of Matthew Star, I hope someone is willing to send me a videotape of this series. I'm willing to pay for it.Please write me if you can help me.Jan

Hundreds of shows have come and gone, but Matthew Star remains my favorite. The acting by the cast (especially Peter Barton, considering the fact he was around 26 playing a 16 year old) is superb and the original story lines up until the point mid-season when the show was revamped (at the network's request, I'm presuming) are fantastic. The idea that as if growing up on Earth isn't hard enough, Matthew Star was expected to lead a planet of people to freedom some day, was inspired. There are great emotional scenes when you realize that despite being a prince with special powers, Matthew was humble and very unsure of himself at times. My big regrets are that the show ended so abruptly and that the show isn't available on DVD to be enjoyed by our new generation of Sci-Fi fans (hint, hint). I sure would have looked forward to Season 2: The Return to Quadris!
