Right now, we've had no definite news about the original DS being picked up for TV again. There have been various letter campaigns to SOAPnet, and a new network, the Horror Channel, expressed interest in the show, but nothing has come of it so far.
MPI has announced that it does not (at this time) plan to release the 1991 series on DVD; in fact, they plan to put the videos out of print too.
For various reasons, the WB declared the new DS pilot "unsalvageable." It's unlikely that the entire thing will ever air anywhere, although the DS Festival did show clips last August and some sort of presentation is also planned for the July, 2005 weekend. There was recently an article in Fangoria magazine by one of our resident cousins, Darren Gross, that covered the rise and fall of the pilot plans.
