Preface: May I introduce you to the TV series Young Blades? It’s a “The Three Musketeers: The Next Generation” in which farmer’s daughter Jacqueline Roget poses as disinherited nobleman Jacques Laponte in order to join the Musketeers, avenge her family, and thwart the evil Mazarin. Only the son of the famous d’Artagnan knows Jacques is Jacqueline. (For credits and chatter, please see the endnote.)

You're welcome.

Lol, I found it on YouTube and I'm definitely going to find time to watch it. :)

You're welcome! I've seen the pilot and definitely liked it. Only finished one seam on my sock doll's legs; normally in a 50-minute episode I glance down often enough to finish one limb. ;)

Wow. How old is this show?

That's not bad; I still watch the 2003 Ninja Turtles cartoon regularly. No VHS, though; I've never been able to program mine to record. (I hearby dub thee an electronic genius. Mine turns on with the TV power button on the remote and off with the channel change button (or possibly vice versa), and ignores everything else including the VCR button.)

I actually -- vaguely -- remember Ponderosa as something my uncle used to watch sometimes, although I didn't get Pax at home. I don't think, anyway.

I imagine most people get ignored. I wrote to Disney once regarding the sale of pirated DVDs on Ebay; they never answered either.

Sorry, I did understand that you were writing to buy a regular DVD. That's just the only experience I have with trying to contact a movie company.
