Can you tell me how to go about obtaining one? -- William H., Central Point William, this is America, by God, and if you want to buy it, somebody is sure to be selling it. You're in luck with "Perry Mason" because it was a very popular television show. But even bad stuff is starting to make an appearance on DVD. All you need to do is type "Perry Mason" into a search engine and everyone from Amazon.com to tvdvdplanet.com wants to sell it to you. You can visit www.perrymasontvseries.com , or other similar sites, to track down the exact season of the episode you want to purchase. You may even find a set of the DVDs here in town at Costco or Suncoast. One show we're thankful has not shown up for purchase is the "Star Wars Holiday Special," and it's likely to stay that way. You may have missed it in 1978, and it's a good thing if you did. It's got the whole crew — Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and C3-PO and R2-D2 — played by the real stars. It's a really horrible story about Chewbacca racing home to celebrate "Life Day" with his family — his wife, Malla; his son, Lumpy; and his dad, Itchy. Bea Arthur runs the Mos Eisley cantina and Harvey Korman plays her love interest and another part as an alien Julia Child. And it was full of perfectly horrid musical numbers. No, really, we can't make this up. It really happened. If you must see it, it too is available online, but only in snippets on You Tube. If you look hard enough you can watch the whole horrible spectacle in nine-minute bits. Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O.
