Discovery/Learning Channel docu on PT Barnum 1995

Post by sepiatone » Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:52 pm

This three part documentary on Barnum, narrated by Cliff Robertson, premiered in 1995 on I believe The Learning Channel. I haven't seen it since, the website doesn't offer it. I don't think it ever made it to VHS or the DVD. It was quite excellent and informative especially the fact that Barnum helped to create modern advertising. Where can I pick this up or should we lobby Discovery to resurrect this on DVD?

It's listed on Amazon from third party sellers. The second photo, probably seller supplied, seems to show the front of a VHS.

One or both of the sellers could be selling a home-taped copy, though. Very inexpensive.
