I quite enjoyed this series when it first aired in the early nineties. I am almost certain that I never seen any episodes following the CTV run of the first two seasons. I found quite interesting the way that they managed to combine the drama with a good deal of action, a liberal dosage of romance and a sprinkling of comedy. Over the years, I'd all but forgotten Neon Rider until I accidentally tripped on a reference to it whilst surfing the internet on another subject. My interest was again sparked, and I looked for episodes for streaming - no success. I was, however, able to find DVDs which are exceedingly difficult to come by. Let me say first of all, that I can find no hint that anything of the series was ever released in any format in Canada, its country of origin.
I was able to find a German version in PAL format. All labelling and text are presented in German only, however, the original English versions of each episode are included. Only season one is available, sold in two separate packages as season one and a mis-labelled season two which is actually the last half of the first season. To add confusion, the episodes are titled in German and when translated to English do not even resemble those on the IMDB list. Adding even more complication is that the DVD sets sequence the episodes in an entirely different order than they appear here. Of course, the sequence is of little concern since each episode is stand-alone. It only becomes a little trying if one desires to read-up a bit of the preamble prior to viewing.
All-in-all, I am quite happy with this collection and have really enjoyed this walk down memory lane. I feel that most of the stories are as pertinent in the 20's as they were thirty years ago. One must, however, take into consideration thirty years of technological advancement.
If you are reading this, I hope it indicates that you have a means of viewing these episodes. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
