What luck discovering the tv show LEGEND. OMG what a fun find. As a SG1 & RDA fan, I could not believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this 2 disk set. This was a gem of a find. I guess I'm not as big of a RDA fan as I thought because I was unaware of this show and now it's the gift that keeps on giving... My first ever comment but had to tell someone 😎
