The Best TV Programe

Maybe it is a normal TV Programe in the States, but in China, almost everybody know it. It was the second American TV/Movie played in China. Even the famous TV program like prison break, 24 hours could not catch up with it.

The character of Actor and Goniff are my best favor. The Chinese dubbing of five person are very good.

Although it was played before 20 years, but they still have plenty of fans in China. There is a funny story. In the year of the first play, plenty of insurance cabinet steal cases happened. It was said that the theft were influenced by the TV program.

I have bought DVD version, but it is not clear enough. So, does anyone know where can bought the DVD-9 standard disc? Thanks
