Title: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: Newguy562 on October 29, 2012, 12:31:05 AM I'm building up my movie collection and I need that plus it's one of my girlfriend's favorite movies. ;D It actually played a big part in getting her into the Beach Boys.
I can't find it anywhere on Amazon...Super bummed out. :( Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family?

Guess it won't be easy/cheap to acquire an officially released copy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-BEACH-BOYS-AN-AMERICAN-FAMILY-2-Emmy-vhs-videos-/310492758185?pt=VHS&hash=item484acf80a9I can't find it anywhere on Amazon...Super bummed out. :( May you're able to find an 'alternate source' somewhere and burn a DVD, or something.

Now, it not being available at all on amazon, even as a highly overpriced used copy should tell you something - that it was never commercially released. Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family?

Post by: Banana on October 29, 2012, 06:31:21 AM As was previously mentioned... it was never officially released. The chances of it even existing in the digital realm are slim to none... especially since most BB fans consider it to be a piece of garbage. I have a VHS copy taped off of the television when it originally aired somewhere in our basement. That said... good luck in your search... but personally... I think you might be chasing your tail. I just don't think it's out there to be had.
Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: thatjacob on October 29, 2012, 07:30:19 AM It's out there, although it's a VHS rip.

It's not that big of a deal; you buy the two VHS tapes, and take them to someone locally that will put them onto DVD for you. Probably cost $15-20 to get them transferred. so, maybe $75 for the whole package. That's not alot for a lifetime of enjoyment, is it?

Quote "I was so bummed out," he says. "I fired myself. It was a terrible day." Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: Paulos on October 29, 2012, 03:25:05 PM It took me all of 5 seconds to find a torrent for The Beach Boys - An American Family. Just saying.
Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: halblaineisgood on October 29, 2012, 04:18:38 PM Wouldn't you love to hear a Mike Love commentary track of it. I want a criterion 4 tha scholarz edish w/ high rez digital transfahs, multiple commentaries (Mike Love remote from Tahoe, a Kevin Dunn solo , Andrew G.Doe, and one where they don't watch it with Kevin Dunn, Mike Love and John Stamos... you name it! ;D) and as far as other supplementals , ontor your endless syncopations will be just the tip of the iceberg...I'm talkin press junkets, german dubs,outtakes galore...like I said, you name it.!!Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family?

Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: KittyKat on November 04, 2012, 09:21:49 PM If a person seeks out any old movies, TV shows, and music shows that are not commercially available or currently in print, I recommend a website called ioffer.com. It seems to have more things on it than EBay. EBay is rather odd in that they often crack down on things that are not commercially available, but do nothing to stop people from selling bootlegs of commercially available DVD product on both EBay and Half.com.

Also Newguy, if you watch Summer Dreams you will end up hating The Beach Boys and possibly the notion of recorded sound itself. Title: Re: Where can I buy An American Family? Post by: andy on November 08, 2012, 03:18:03 PM The music's not cleared for DVD or digital release, and as things currently stand, there's 1-2% chance it will come out in those mediums.
