Way Out.....Help!!!

I know I should probably post this on the Way Out board, but since there are no posts there I thought the post might get more viewing here. I actually never originally saw the Way Out series, but now based on numerous reviews am making a concerted effort to see it....

I have found the bootleg 5 eps on ebay (The croaker, etc.), but I really want to find the other 9 eps like Side Show, Soft Focus, 20/20 etc. Anyone found a way to get these yet? I'm wondering if any of these obscure tv and movie sites have them, etc. Since Thriller seems to have the same fans I was wondering if anyone could offer any insight?

I bought the ones off eBay and they are terrible quality!! They are so blurry. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your search for the other ones.

Oh, that's too bad. I just bought one....oh well, it's better than not having anything at all!

The only Way Out episodes I know of are here, but they are probably the same ones:

I notice there are also 5, but they say here there are more on the way.
I saw most of the original episodes when they were first broadcast. They were shot on live video, not film, so the quality was only adequate to begin with, to the best of my memory. A second or third generation dupe is only going to intensify the blurriness. It's probably a lucky thing that they are even available at all.

Here in Detroit, Way Out came on right after the Twilight Zone. The narrator was a smoke fiend as I recall, puffing away with billows of smoke while giving you the lowdown on what was to come.

I thought the classic Shirley Jackson story The Lottery was part of the Thriller series, but it's not listed on IMDB. I believe it starred Shirley Knight. Could it have been on Way Out ?
