The Outsiders

I loved this series as a youngster and as a not so youngster. I tried to find it on DVD for rent or sale before looking it up on IMDb. I wish they would put it out on DVD. I remember being in grade school and when it rained or snowed we would gather in the gymnasium and watch The Outsiders (not all the time, but Outsider days were my fave). Of course, it was the coolest thing out there. The original movie was so cool but then to come along and follow with TV episodes. I was so excited. Then it turned out to be a great series. I was very disappointed when it ended.

I believe sales would be extremely high due to the topic/title and the actors. Can someone please rub elbows with some exec. and persuade them to release this on DVD!?!

I was twice lucky to watch this TV-series. First of all because it was shown just once in France and on a cable channel. Then it's such a good programed ! Actors/actresses are brilliant, and 15 years later you can spot the names of David Arquette, Heather McComb, Michael Madsen or Billy Bob Thornton in the cast ! It could easily be the cast of a feature film. And of course you have Coppola. It's also full of poetry, nostalgia and every situation is shown in a humanistic way. It's warm, intelligent. Dialogues and characters are good. Too bad for me I can't find the right words in English to describe all the feelings I had when I watched it. Anyway this series is like a family album you open on a cold night. You watch pictures and you remember the events linked with them. They can be sad or happy moments but what is sure is they were relevant for you and they shaped what you've become.

Could someone please help me find this? As I've just watched the first episode on YouTube But I'm vision impaired And this book was extra special as I started high school the same year And then the movie of course with the Hollywood stars Was fantastic But this is more of what I imagined reading the book.

It's a shame this show was never made available commercially, especially considering Francis Coppola's film is so incomplete without it. The series, created and produced by Coppola, starts up right where the movie ends, introduces the tomboy named "Scout," and continues on through about a year of the characters' lives afterwards as the Curtis brothers struggle to stay together. Sadly, the series lasted less than one season, despite Alan Shapiro & S.E. Hinton's pilot episode being the highest rated show in FOX's history up to that point. Jay Ferguson's intelligent portrayal of Ponyboy surpasses even C. Thomas Howell's in the film, and Tim Shepard (a major character in the show) blows his movie predecessor off the screen. The pilot and series end on a high-note, perfectly balancing out the tragic ending to the film.

Not on dvd. Or streaming. This was a great show.starts off where the movie left off.
