I loved this show. It really made you rethink some long standing-long taught religious ideals. It raised some excellent questions. I was sorry it was cut short before it addressed or answered some of those interesting ideas. The dynamics between Peter Horton and John Glover were excellent and I loved all the barbs and word play between them. I can't wait for it to be released on dvd as a collection and hope they include some insight as to why it was suddenly pulled and where they would have headed next!

I absolutely loved this show and taped most of them on VHS while they were still being aired. Sadly, my tapes are lacking and I would love for this outstanding show to be available on DVD. Amazing!

OK ... it's time to release this fantastic, though prematurely ended, series on DVD! We're ready to buy it!

I mean fer cryin' out loud, they're releasing one of the earliest short-lived Fox series, Werewolf, to DVD, so what's the frikkin' deal?! The cancellation of this series STILL hurts and it's massively compounded by the lack of a DVD release. This is the series that made me appreciate the talents of Peter Horton, and confirmed the delicious nefariousness of John Glover, who is in my humble THE best Satan EVAH! The unsung star of the show, though, was the deeply moody look of it all, set forth by the brilliant director and co-exec producer Felix Alcala. The tones were muted almost to the point of rendering the show black and white, but it gave the entire affair a spooky, mystical feel that I'd not seen before or since. And of course the writing and acting were top-notch--does Fox ever cancel anything but the best? ;) SO many lesser series that went on for years longer have their own DVD sets, and as I pointed out above, even other still-born Fox shows are getting their props, so who would it kill to FINALLY give us Brimstone? Do we have to go to Hell--and bust out--to at last get a little love here?

I first saw this show on SCI-FI channel. Sadly, it only lasted a short season before cancellation

Brimstone was honest, witty, insightful, and intriguing. The acting and writing were superb and the cinematography was somewhat unique at the time.

John Glover made an awesome Devil. I saw elements of his performance here in Smallville as Lionel Luthor. But this short lived show has lived on in my imagination as a wonderfully original piece of television.

Like "Firefly," this show was dismantled before its time.

The show is so well written and exciting twists! A good quality show we can keep on watching over and over.
We are as an audience enjoy the ride of Det. Stone's journey.
I have a taped VHS on the series HOWEVER would like to have DVD set on a good quality.
This show is must see and probably will find new audience if the DVD is out.

Was this show to smart for the average joe viewer? I think so.

A great mix of dark humor, fantasic writing and spot on acting sent Brimstone right over most of the nealson veiwers heads.

There is some people that watch TV with an IQ over 50. Bring it back or at least put it on dvd

I loved this show. It was one of the best of the 1990's. It was original and thought provoking. I was very unhappy with FOX for cancelling Brimstone. It isn't like they had anything else even half as good. I have most of the shows on VHS and would love a good quality set on DVD.
Update: I finally got a bootleg copy of this. It isn't prefect, but it is all I can get right now. My tapes were getting bad. I would still buy the set on DVD if TPTB would put it out. I would even get another set for my Sis that also likes this type of shows.
Are all of you signed up to be notified if it is released. It is sort of a way to vote for it's release.

I too was impressed from the first episode I saw. I tried to see all the shows but missed some. I hope the DVD is released before the original fans pass on. It's definitely worth adding to a collection of QUALITY shows.

Why is it that the cool American shows that we are waiting to see, have to be published on Region 1 when they come out on DVD.
Don't the DVD produces know that we have DVD in Europe too now!
