Yes I watched the series on You Tube, so what is the official holdup on this series coming to DVD collection?.

Probably that so many people hate it. Many years ago bought it in VHS. Just watched part of it. Watched parts of the original series in 1987. Just not realistic at all. As I remember, viewership for the first episode was good, then steadily trailed off.
A historical note. For some reason, in the 1984-1986 time frame, a lot of people thought the Soviet Union would take over the United States. If you knew anything about the actual state of affairs in the world at that time, that was patently ridiculous. Biggest thing to come out of this time was the original
Red Dawn. I watched it and cheered when the Russians got whacked. One notable book from this period was
Warday, about the USA ten years after a limited nuclear war. Very thought-provoking. But by the time
Amerika came out in early 1987, everyone had woken up, said, "The Soviets take US over? What a joke!", had a great laugh, and promptly dismissed the entire thing from their minds. Then late the next year we saw the Berlin Wall come down, the Warsaw Pact dissolve, and the end of the Soviet Union itself on i January 1992. What an amazing time that was.
