Q: Many years ago, I remember a Saturday morning sitcom named "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." It was about a boy who documented his family and friends' lives on videotape. I'm wondering if it ever made it onto DVD.
Memory's a tricky thing, especially childhood memory. Time spans seem longer when you've only been alive for a few years, so that a show that was only on for a few weeks can seem like a TV mainstay.
Such is the case with "Bailey Kipper's P.O.V." The Saturday morning sitcom only aired from September to December of 1996 -- 13 episodes in total. And, unfortunately, that lack of longevity means it never got a DVD release.
Legacies, on CW
MG (Quincy Fouse) learns a secret about Lizzie's (Jenny Boyd) vampire friend, Sebastian (Thomas Doherty), in this new episode. Meanwhile, Alaric (Matthew Davis) has a run-in with a demon. Danielle Rose Russell and Aria Shahghasemi also star.
