I was having the hardest time ever thinking of what to get my mom for Xmas, and I got the Columbia House sale book, and it had Shogun and The Thornbirds in it. I had never seen all of The Thornbirds, it was recently on the Hallmark channel, and I missed parts of it, and I haven't seen Shogun since I was a kid-but I remember I really liked it. I have never seen it on tape before now. I think giving movies or tv shows is a great present. Did anyone else remember Shogun??? Watching it in the 80's?

Yeah, I bought both entire series on Vhs, they were on sale in the flyer, Shogun was almost $90, and I'm not sure what the Thornbirds was maybe around $60- I bought her the series of "Roots" last year- I got it brand new off Ebay for $40

My mother, grandmother and aunt are addicted to the Thornbirds! Just recently I saw it's sequel with my grandmother. I'm not sure what channel it was on but it was no good. The original was much better and the score was beautiful.

I liked the Thornbirds too. I'm waiting for it to be released on DVD. [Big Grin]

Oh, Yeah! That series probably started my fascination with Japanese culture. I wish this would be released on DVD, I'd buy it in a heart beat!

Never seen either of these,but my Mum was a big fan of Sir Richard of Chamberlain in the Thorn Birds.
