The Love Bug TV movie

« on: July 09, 2014, 10:50:34 AM »
Does anyone know where I can buy a DVD copy of the Love Bug TV movie that stared Bruce Campbell ? I've seen it in VHS but who has a VCR anymore?

All FIVE of Herbie's big screen adventures are now available on DVD! In addition, many people write to me asking about the movie with the "Evil" black Herbie. That film is also named "The Love Bug" but was a made for TV movie which aired in 1997. The "Love Bug 1997" film is only available on VHS from used video retailers. Disney never released it on DVD.

I've got it on VHS . . . somewhere.  If I can find it, I can put it on a DVD.  Of course, it took me 16 years to get the news report about our first Show N Shine digitized, so this might take a while!   ;D

Russ won't talk!!!

Anyways, I was talking to Russ earlier and he said he has a digital copy of it somewhere so he could probably put it on a DVD.

If gladly pay for a copy of it. Are there any other Herbie videos I don't know about? Wasn't there a cartoon series at one time? I have a vague recollection of having watched it at Bug-a-Palooza years ago.

We played a couple of Speed Buggy (a VW powered Dune Buggy) cartoons at Bug-A-Paluza many years ago.  That's probably what you are thinking of if you saw it at Bug-A-Paluza.  I think we also played one before the Herbie movie at our show this year.

In addition to the 5 movies and the 1 made for TV movie, there was a Herbie TV series that ran for just a few episodes sometime back in the 1970's.  I've never seen them, but I think Fielding has them all on VHS.

Really! Any chance Fielding can digitize them onto DVD?

Charlton, PM me an address and I'll drop a DVD of the love bug movie in the mail to you. Same goes for anyone else who would like one.

    I have a black Herbie I'll be bringing to Bug'n in July tomorrow (rain or shine!).
Hope to see some of you guys; just saw the weather, and as the system sped up
(and thus drowned us today), it also reduced tomorrow's rain chances to scattered showers...We have a huge pro-style events tent already up.
