How many episodes?


When I was young I rented V videos and i think they were seperated into 5 parts on 5 different vhs tapes.

How many episodes were there?

The number of episodes is really an interesting issue. There actually is five episodes; however, they are 90 minutes each. In most syndication networks, the episodes were cut in half, so you'd have ten 45-minute episodes.

It's also worth noting that while the V miniseries is usually sold as whole, it's actually a two part TV movie (V proper) and three part miniseries miniseries (V: The Final Battle). I've never seen them sold separately, though

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was wondering if I had seen the whole series.

All of them are available on TPB (Torrent) in case you're interested... It shouldn't be a matter of copyrights violations since it's for TV and over 20 years old. But then again, it might be a cash-cow I guess...

you can bet on that....i foresee them re-releasing it on dvd off the back of the remake

there was also a full 19 episode season made following this with the same cast, although i confess i havent seen it

I think they did. The ones (All of them, incl. the 1-season-series) is in a pretty good quality that I dl:ed off TPB.

Uh, guys, ALL of this series is available from WB as V: the final battle, V:Humankind's Last Stand, and V: The Complete Series. WalMart sells the first two for 10 dollars each, and the complete series for 15. Lots of them, used and new, are WIDELY available, unless you need other than region 1.

It's also available off the Internet for free, illegally, but who cares?

Oh, and also "legally" (???) off the Canadian site "Graboid": don't know how, but they run hq/ hd quality tv and movies that are still in theater, as well as HD of all currently released new stuff, movies and television
