I've been a fan of the show as long as I can remember, watching it around the age of 3-4 (1979-1980) in the San Francisco Bay Area. I got the first series on VHS back in 1988 from Kidmark (prior to Voyager acquiring the title). I just sold those VHS tapes on eBay about 2 months ago. The prints were awfully dark, but it had a nice sense of nostalgia since the opening/closing credits were unaltered. Voyager's DVD's are pricey, but Manga Ent has the whole series (and 4 Yamato films) on Youtube, so I can pretty much watch them whenever I choose.
I also have the live action film, the "Final" & "Rescurrention" (Anime films 5&6). I've also seen 22 of the 26 episodes of 2199, hopefully the last 4 will be online soon. Star Blazers along with Battle of the Planets are what initially got me interested in Anime, and to this day, most of my favorite series are from the 70's and early 80's. Modern anime just cant complete with classics IMHO.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
