I know I'm a few years late to the party here but I have a question and some comments about It Takes A Thief.
Does anyone know when the complete series DVD went out of print? It was issued in 2011, so I figure that maybe it went out of print in 2013 or 14, just a guess though.
I recently ordered a used set of the complete series DVD on ebay, it looks to be in very good condition, paid more than I wanted to for it but it is what it is. Too bad I wasn't shopping for this over a month ago in early November, because I noticed someone had listed a used set of the complete series DVD for a price of only $19.99, whoever the lucky buyer was sure got a great deal.
While I'm waiting for the DVD's to arrive, I looked on You Tube and currently the entire series is on there, every episode. I watched a few and I assume the You Tube episodes are the same ones that are on the DVD's. The video quality of It Takes A Thief looks similar to Cannon, uncut episodes but not restored, which is fine with me, I don't mind watching unrestored stuff as long as there aren't any edits and the audio quality is good. And the unrestored quality of the episodes gives them a nostalgic/retro look and in my opinion it enhances the viewing experience.
It Takes A Thief is a cool show from the late 1960's, the tail end of the spy/espionage genre before more traditional police/detective shows started taking over in the 1970's.
