5.0 out of 5 stars Veritas Virtues, November 2, 2006

I'm hoping those people brilliant enough to put "Threshold" and "Roar" on DVD get wind of the interest in this great series. This series was conceptually a masterpiece. It reminded me of wonderful movies like "Tomb Raider" and "National Treasure". The acting was superb, and the production values were amazing for a TV series. Everything from the directing to music was well crafted and only one thing was lacking, a studio without it's head up it's backside. Well I don't know the facts, but if it wasn't the studio, who was responsible for the shows cancellation? I understand that it actually was shown overseas even longer. We can only hope that the entire series is put on DVD since it is probably unlikely it will return to TV. I am hoping the SciFi channel will rerun it since when they reran "Roar" it was such a hit it came out on DVD a short time after.

This series is about a young man and his father that is a well known doctor with a background in many areas of research and science. His assistant was played by the intrigueing Arnold Vosloo, better known as "The Mummy". Their adventures in recovering artifacts and battling villains was intelligent nail-biting fun like we experienced in the "Indiana Jones" movies. Unfortuanately unless you recorded it or buy a poor copy on eBay you are probably out of luck in seeing this magnificent series. If you have any clue on who may own the rights and might be considering releasing it. Please let us know. I am hoping that Amazon will let them know there is a genuine interest in it and you can bet I will pre-order it as soon as Amazon offers it. In the meantime I guess I will go watch Jonny Quest.

I wrote this review just under two years ago and yet still no Veritas DVD. But you can bet we are still watching lots of Police, Forensics, and Reality shows on TV and they come out on DVD year after year. You can bet I won't buy them just as a point to the networks that I along with probably a million others are sick and tired of these shows and we want more intelligent shows like Veritas. Just like the Westerns burned us out 30 years ago, Police shows have now done the same. Get a clue networks unless you want to pay for your own ignorant idea of what is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately, lost during the heat of war, June 7, 2005

Myself, and many others were very disappointed when this series was cancelled and not given another chance by ABC television. Well directed, and written with an Indiana Jones sense of wonder (and humor, I might add), this series deserves a revival. It was well cast, and left one wanting more with each passing episode. Mystery, suspense, and fine acting, especially from the talented and underused Arnold Vosloo will be sorely missed. This show definitely deserves another shot. Hope someone with some influence out there is paying attention!
Can't wait until it becomes available on DVD. Another series called 'Miracles" was shot down by the unfortunate timing of its release.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Veritas Quest, April 20, 2006

Here's another example where the networks have their heads somewhere the sun doesn't shine. This was the best, new action adventure program to hit the TV screen since the monopoly from Star Trek. To me it was an interesting spin on the topic of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and the Relic Hunter programs/movies/games. Well written with just enough reality to possibly be a real explanation for things of the past.

Don't know about the rest of you, but wish ABC would bring this back and make it into a series with life. I'm sick and tired of all the ethnic shows, reality shows and have had my fill of CSI. Give us a break and give us some good action and adventure that makes you think. The Veritas Quest did that for me... You don't have to have cops, rapists, court cases or ethnic stereotyping to make a good show. And the reality shows are all bunk... and even they are going overboard now with the inventor, american idol, etc.

Its also the reason I rarely watch ABC... All Bout Cash.
