What was Killian's radio show sign-off comment on Midnight Caller?
It's never been released on DVD as far as I know, so the only way to watch it is bootlegs on Youtube (most of which have Romanian subtitles). I still enjoy it, and would def buy it on DVD if it ever came out. You can hear a great version of the Midnight Caller theme song by Rick Braun, which is on his 1992 album Intimate Secrets.
