Jeremiah Season 1 - $12.15 + shipping - RISKY

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

This was on DVDpricesearch.com's front page last week - Jeremiah Season 1 (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2489449). I ordered it on the 30th and it arrived today. I think the description on the webpage has changed since I placed the order and it no longer comes up in a DVDpricesearch.com search. But, it is the same walmart product id# that I ordered (bookmarked it) and the picture is still the same today as it was when I placed the order.

So, there is probably a good chance you'll get the religious movie and not the tv series, but if there is a free-shipping coupon available, then there is no risk since you can return it at a local B&M. Even without free shipping, you could probably print the page out with the image of the box and get them to refund the shipping too because it is an error on their end, I doubt that any walmart CSRs will be able to differentiate between the TV series and a movie of the same name based on the description alone.

Also, despite being filmed and shown in widescreen on showtime, this box set is foolscreen. I opted not to pay real money for a foolscreen crop job, but at ~$14 the dealmeister within me could no longer hold out -- cheapest real price is $52.30 from DDD (DVDsoon doesn't count in my book).

[Samuel]

This is a great deal even for fullscreen. Thank you!!!

[nemein]

Walmart has had the occasional deal (see the Gormanghast thread that pops up again and again ;)) however in this case, given the description

Starring: Oliver Reed, Leonor Varela, Patrick Dempsey, Vincent Regan, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Michael Cronin
Director: Harry Winer
Edition: Full Frame
Rating: Not Rated
Run Time: 91 minutes
Studio: Vidmark Entertainment

Description
Jeremiah tells the story of the prophet who abandons his family and the woman he loves in order to relay God?s message in Jerusalem. Although he is persecuted and branded as a traitor for warning others of the destruction of the Holy City, he continues fearlessly with his mission. When his prophecy is fulfilled, he experiences first-hand Jerusalem?s destruction by the Babylonians.

I believe you are going to get

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

As I said, it is risky.

But, as I also said, I ordered that product id (2489449) last week and I received the TV series with Luke Perry and not the movie with Patrick Dempsey today (well, Tuesday).

[nemein]

Looks like some people took the chance, it's out of stock now ;)

[John Sinnott]

Also, despite being filmed and shown in widescreen on showtime, this box set is foolscreen.

The first season wasn't shown on regular showtime in widescreen, though the second season was. Apparently it was shown that way on their high def channel. In any case, most people saw this show in fullscreen and by all indications that is the OAR.

Not meaning to jack the thread, but I didn't want anyone to pass this up because they thought the video was altered for this release.

Great show BTW.

[thejester]

Well, I for one can now say - THIS WORKS!!!!

Like Jah-Wren, I saw this initially on the DVDPriceSearch website as a "lower $" informational. Later on that day, upon refreshing/reloading the page, the link itself was gone. I searched for the title & bookmarked the link - waiting for it to come "In Stock" as it was OOS.

A few days later, it showed up as being In Stock & even let me add it to my cart. Only problem was that was as far as I could get - no checkout was possible ("Problem with an item in your cart" error).

I kept watching the site from time-to-time (like Cary Grant a while back) & lo-&-behold it showed up again this past Saturday as In Stock. Only difference this time was that I could actually checkout!!! Anyways, today the package arrived & it IS the Season 1 of Jeremiah - just like the pic. Apparently, the only thing right on the page is the pic. ;)


Not bad for $15.28 shipped. :banana:


Keep trying folks!!!

[duganrm]

anyone try to pricematch at DDD?

[thejester]

anyone try to pricematch at DDD?
Might be a little hard since the detail info is incorrect. Only the pic is correct.

[thejester]

In stock now.

[donbosco1]

Out of stock again ! :( That was incredibly fast!

[grune]

Is there any specific tiem of day when walmart.com puts stll back in stock? I checked late last night before I went to bed, and this morning as soon as I got to work and both times it was out of stock

[thejester]

Is there any specific tiem of day when walmart.com puts stll back in stock? I checked late last night before I went to bed, and this morning as soon as I got to work and both times it was out of stock

No, it seems to vary widely - noonish, 5am, etc.

[SlingshotBandit]

Is this a good blind buy? It's showing up out of stock, though.

[Brent L]

If anyone cares, this is now in stock.

[donbosco1]

Thanks BrentLumkin! Just got it! Anyone else get this set delivered yet? I guess I can always return it to the B&M Wally's, but I'd rather get the set :D

[brucelee]

Jeremiah Season 1 - $12.15 + shipping

Still IN STOCK At Walmart..... You better hurry if you want one before they are all gone again. Everyone have a MERRY XMAS!!!!

[Dabaomb]

Thanks to Jah-Wren for the deal. Thanks to Brent for the in-stock update. $15.34 shipped to NYC. Hopefully I won't get screwed with the crappy release.

[grune]

I'm in the prosess of ordering it now. I clicked on where I had added it to my favorites just before I borought up the forum, which loaded before the Wal-Mart page finished loading. I wondered if it came back in stock when I saw the thread had been bumped.

[brucelee]

its all out of stock again guys.... if you didn't get it maybe you can try again later. peace

[grune]

Its now out of stock.

[Brent L]

Holy crap that was fast.

[SlingshotBandit]

Well, I clicked on the link again, and sho'nuff it was "in stock" again, like Brent wrote. However, while I was deciding whether or not I wanted to purchase this (in deciding, I started to read the overwhelmingly favorable feedback on Amazon), I came to the conclusion that it was worth a blind buy purchase. (Especially when it's going for $71 on Amazon!!).

When I had clicked on the "add to cart" link, it read that it was "not available at this time." I guess I had waited too long. I clicked to the previous page, and it read "Out of Stock" again. Hopefully I can get to it quickly, the next time it read In Stock.

[SlingshotBandit]

Whoa, I had this page up -- in which the last post was BrentLumkin's "If anyone care, it is now in stock". I went to do my research, as I pointed out in my last post, and as soon as I had pressed "send", I notice that a bunch of people were all over it. Damn. Sometimes procrastination pays off, but most of the time it doesn't.

[thejester]

Given WMs' real-time inventory controls & not having any B/O(s), if you snooze, you really lose. ;)

[Dabaomb]

Wow, mine shipped already (ordered about 24 hours ago). Let's just hope that I get the right one.

BTW, I just checked and it's still out-of-stock.

[Brent L]

Wow, I just checked my order on the website and it's listed as shipped also.

[SlingshotBandit]

Man, the more I've read the reviews the more I'm sure I would've liked this show. This is going to be one of those shows where I'll probably always look out for a bargain now. The problem is, at around $60-70, a bargain would probably be $40. :(

Oh, well. You win some, you lose some. I'll be interested in hearing what some of you, who bought this as a blind buy, think of this show.

And in the meantime, I'll be checking every so often to see if it's in stock again. Good luck to all those that got a order in, and here's hoping you get the right one. (Er, the one with Luke and Malcolm, anyway.) :)

[SlingshotBandit]

Good news.

Jeremiah Season 1 is in stock again. I'm surprised they haven't corrected this yet. I was tempted to order more than 1, so that I can gift it to someone else, but I'm hoping someone else who wanted this as bas as I did gets in on this.

Although I got an order confirmation number, I won't be rest assured until I get a shipping confirmation email. And even then, not until I receive the package and get the actual boxset, and not the Biblical movie.

Good luck to everyone else who tries from here on.

[brucelee]

I went to order one for my sister but its say sold out already?

[SlingshotBandit]

Hey, brucelee.

You're right, it's sold out again. I wonder if it's a glitch in their system (saying it was in stock again), or if they only had one available, and after just making this purchase right, it sold out yet again.

Or, perhaps, a few other people ordered right after mine (maybe after reading my post) and beat you to it. I would keep checking back though, just in case.

(Sidebar: I've been such a bargain bastard ever since being a member of dvd talk, but I've also spent waaaay more money than I ever thought I would on dvds.) :(

Since I didn't get an order confirmation email, rather just an order confirmation number after I completed the order with payment, I'll have to keep an eye out for an email from walmart.

[SlingshotBandit]

I don't want to seem like I'm hijacking this thread, but I received my order confirmation email early today.

Now waiting for the shipment email.

Anybody else get their copies after the OP got his and found it to be the same as the pictured boxset?

I saw the same info as the OP did on DVDPriceSearch, I just was unable to order it until it actually came "In Stock". Which turned out to be after the OP had gotten in an order - apparently. I wasn't going to post until I'd received it & Jah-Wren actually received their copy first.

So, you can say I can collaborate the results - I did get season 1 of Jeremiah.

[rdodolak]

I saw when dvdpricesearch first listed this deal back then, but unfortunately for me it was OOS then and every time I've checked. :(

[duganrm]

It is in stock, but not really. ;)

[eholder]

Yeah, I saw that too. It let me add it to my cart, but I can't check out.

[jpdude]

supposedly "in stock", yet i also get " Not available at this time" when i try to add it to my shopping cart.

[duganrm]

refreshing the page 20-30 times a minute doesn't help either. ;)

[grune]

It's instock again

[duganrm]

shows out of stock again. :(

[SlingshotBandit]

An update...

I got a shipping confirmation for my copy of Jeremiah Season 1. It mentioned that it should arrive anywhere between this Thursday to next Tuesday.

I'll post what version actually shows up when I get it.

GOOD LUCK, to everyone else trying to get in on this. And thanks to the Jah-Wren Ryel for mentioning this deal.

[Adios]

This is legit. I ordered one copy on Friday. It delivered on Monday. Jeremiah Season 1 for about $15 after tax and shipping.

You just have to be lucky to catch it when it is in stock. I really wonder if someone is snapping up all the copies each time it becomes available. It dissappears so quickly each time.

[duganrm]

I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle and here is my spout.
thanks. call me speedy. :)

[Brent L]

Well that didn't last very long.

[duganrm]

Well that didn't last very long.
just long enough. I got the last one in stock. :)

now for the long wait till it comes in. I get to worry about it being the right one till then.

[Brent L]

I don't think anyone should worry anymore. I just got my order and it is indeed the big boxset of Jeremiah: The Complete First Season. :banana:

[nemein]

I don't think anyone should worry anymore.

I guess the only "worry" now is whether or not you're on the site at the right moment when they get 1 back in stock ;)

[CloudVader]

Got mine today and it is indeed the Season 1 set. Thanks to the OP!

[Dabaomb]

I got mine yesterday and it was the season 1 set but the box was pretty crushed cuz they packaged it in some big padded envelope.

[SlingshotBandit]

Damn. That sucks, bro. I would see if I can exchange it at a B&M, before you open it.

[illennium]

Damn. That sucks, bro. I would see if I can exchange it at a B&M, before you open it.

There are no Wal-Marts anywhere near Manhattan, so that might be more trouble than it's worth.

[grune]

That might be a good idea except from what I've seen Wal-Mart b&M has never stocked this set, all they could do is refund your money. With as cheap as it is I wouldn't worrk about a damaged box. If a disk is cracked or really scratched up then I'd try to get a replacement. BTW mine came today, it was in a padden envelope but arrived undamagd

[duganrm]

what state are they shipping from? just curious how long it should take to get to me once it ships. hope it ships soon. says it should be delivered between monday and wed next week.

Well, yeah, that's no good.

Well, Christmas is around the corner. Not sure HOW bad the box is ("pretty crushed" sounds really bad, imo), but if dabaomb cares maybe after Christmas he can exchange it to a different retailer, and say he got it like that as a Christmas present? (or is suggesting something like that frowned upon here?)

[grune]

I had thought of that, but I'm not sure how's he'd explain it. Its one thing to return something to a B&M store that you bought at their online store if its Damaged, that would be legitimate but WOuld best buy take it back in that condition with there not being a record of it being purchased at bestbuy.com

[Badlands]

Well, it's interesting that they emailed you saying they may not be able to ship it because...

It now shows as being in stock again! I suppose they may cancel the new orders too, but if you want to give it a shot... HURRY, while it still shows being in stock! :)

[Badlands]

I was messing around with the quantities in my cart and when I put in 1000, it changed it to 340 with the message " We've changed your requested quantity to what is available for purchase now."

So, apparently they have 340 available as of this minute. BTW, you can buy all 340 for only $4800.80 shipped!

[SlingshotBandit]

duganrm, when did you place your order? I was under the impression that you placed it before me?

Did you ever get a shipping notification, and then have them pull that email on you? I've had an email that says it shipped, but according to usps tracking, it's been sitting in a Texas wherehouse for a while. (But I'm sure the site's just taking while to update, speaking from experience.)

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure. I haven't received mine yet, and afterall this isn't a bonafide deal until I get it.

[meritocracy]

Badlands, thanks for the notice that this was again instock. Gave it a shot.

[jpdude]

I just placed an order and it went thru without any hitches.....here's to hoping for the best! :)

[rdodolak]

Woohoo! I was finally around when it was in stock. Now, it's a wait a see game.

For those that already received this deal, what city did your package ship out of?

[rdodolak]

Just checked this method and it's currently showing only 542 available.

I ordered it on the 14th (when I posted on page 2). I never got a shipping email. I got 2 emails today (1 to tell me the backorder and the other to cancel).

I just reordered the title but somehow I get the feeling it might be the version I don't want now...... could just be that I am paranoid.

[MovieExchange]

Got mine sometime in the past week (forgot it was going to my PO Box, which I rarely check), Jeremiah season 1 and not a religious flick. WOO HOO!

BTW, it's still in stock as of 10:30am eastern Saturday morning, 216 available.

Wow, these are going fast now ... around 0900 there were almost 490 still left.

[New Rambler]

I had all but given up on this, thanks for the updates on availability folks!

[stepmonkey]

151 left. 10:40 am Central time.

[Kamikaze]

I ordered mine on the 8th and it arrived yesterday (the 17th). I'm in northern California.

Hopefully someone will goof up like this if/when season 2 is released.
:>

[dago2727]

Just ordered it about an hour ago. Let's hope it ships and I get the right one.

[grune]

The tracking only showed the arrived in texas for me too, but it did show up, usps tracking just stinks.

[jpdude]

this is one crazy deal :) BestBuy.com has it listed for $89.99!

[fryinpan1]

This deal is worth the risk. Mine was $14.97 with shipping and I have received a temp charge. Also, the quantity is listed as 133 as of 1:07 pm ET.

[thejester]

"In Stock" & 129 as of 12:26pm CT

[JohnBeas]

I did get the box set of "Jeremiah" today. I got in on this deal very early (within minutes of the first post). Good luck to anyone else who's ordered it.

[pilot]

still in stock as of 2:30pm EST..just ordered one for $15.35..

[Badlands]

Down to 93 copies. Get it while you can!

[rdodolak]

Down to 87 copies in stock at 4:23pm EST

[gfoots]

Where do you see the realtime inventory?

[rdodolak]

Where do you see the realtime inventory?

While viewing your cart, chage the quanity to a ridiculous amount (1000 copies). If the quantity available is less than the quantity you asked for the site will adjust your quanitity to the maximum currently in stock.


BTW, I ordered my this morning and mine is already showing as being shipped!!! Let's just hope it is the Jeremiah: Season 1 that everyone else has been receiving. :)

[duganrm]

looks like the one I ordered last night already shipped too. This is just weird.

I keep getting the feeling more and more that they have the version I don't want in stock now......

[rdodolak]

I keep getting the feeling more and more that they have the version I don't want in stock now......

I hope not, but I agree with you since this was the longest amount of time that this title has stayed in stock. Since, some have received the correct dvd already and the web page hasn't been altered I can only have faith that they received a large shipment of the Jeremiah: Season 1 DVDs. I guess we'll find out next week.

There does appear to be a pattern to this madness though. The DVDs were showing up back in stock around 1-2am ~ every two days.


EDIT:
The Jeremiah: Bible Series DVD is actually listed under a different item number (1109965 vs. 2489449). Watch it turn out to be that an employee updated the info for the wrong Jeremiah DVD, hence the great deal.

Bible: Jeremiah, The (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=1109965)
Jeremiah (hopefully season 1) (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2489449)

[Big O Anime_Fan]

There are now around 80 left, folks !

[MovieExchange]

Down to 80 copies as of 6:15pm Saturday night eastern time.

I'm amazed that they still have any listed.

I put in an order for more copies for Christmas presents. This series is really good, and I know a lot of Babylon 5 fans that don't know that JMS is behind this one as well.

[cynthia]

I got an email that my order from last night has shipped.

[thejester]

looks like the one I ordered last night already shipped too. This is just weird.

I keep getting the feeling more and more that they have the version I don't want in stock now......

Given the size of the set. Your envelope package (method used by WM) should be at least 1" THICK if it contains the right set. If the package is slender - like a std. keepcase - just refuse receipt of it.

Hopefully, everything will turn out ok. Most should know by Tues. or Wed. at the latest since WM usually ships priority.

[Shap]

Hopefully, everything will turn out ok. Most should know by Tues. or Wed. at the latest since WM usually ships priority.

I ordered mine on the 7th, it shipped on the 9th, and I still haven't received it. (I'm in Virginia).

[JamisonBWolsh]

78 copies now.... I Just ordered it. I hope it's the real deal. If it's the Bible version, that would just suck. :)

[jpdude]

I just received my shipping confirmation, only 78 copies remain.....these are going very fast!

[nemein]

78 copies now.... I Just ordered it. I hope it's the real deal. If it's the Bible version, that would just suck because Im Jewish :)


Wasn't Jeremiah one of the OT/Torah figures :hscratch:

[Patman]

I snagged one tonight as well. Too bad I started watching a few episodes of season 2, so a few surprises won't be so for me towards the end of Season 1, but am looking forward to how it all started.

[illennium]

Wasn't Jeremiah one of the OT/Torah figures :hscratch:

I think he meant because he's cheap and it wouldn't be much of a bargain.





Obviously, I'm kidding.

[blindrocket]

Just ordered one, thanks OP! It came to 15.06 shipped.
And yes, I only ordered ONE copy, hopefully there aren't any eBay hawkers here.

[John Sinnott]

Just checked, and it's OOS.

[thejester]

I ordered mine on the 7th, it shipped on the 9th, and I still haven't received it. (I'm in Virginia).


Then again, who knows with WM?? That & this IS the holiday season - Priority becomes 1st class, 1st class becomes media mail & media mail becomes lost. Simple progression.

[Brent L]

I placed an order earlier today, and I just got the shipping confirmation email.

Wow that was fast.

[pilot]

I got a confirmation email when I placed the order earlier ..just checked the webpage and it shows shipped..cool :)

[Brent L]

I can't believe that this hasn't been corrected yet. They have sold hundreds of these things and it's still at the same price.

Wow.

[cynthia]

I can't believe that this hasn't been corrected yet. They have sold hundreds of these things and it's still at the same price.

Wow.

I have a feeling it's all the version we don't want. It's odd that they cancelled previous orders, like mine and duganrm's, and then got more in stock a few hours later.

At least Amazon has good reviews (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004VVOW/) for the Biblical version. :D

[illennium]

This could end up being a *huge* unintentional bait-and-switch situation.

it's also possible their system screwed up and took more orders than they had in stock, and their system automatically cancelled the order instead of placing it on backorder, not anticipating on more stock coming in ..or maybe they've just got some weird ass setup where if a item is popular they don't allow order after order after order..it goes 'out of stock' for "X" amount of hours then comes back in stock...but who knows really what is happening or why ..or what the latest batch will be...

[illennium]

If it is the Biblical version, I am returning it to Wal-Mart without a receipt. :D

[daddydaryl]

It's back to 80 In Stock now. In for 1.... THX OP!!!

:up:

[pocketpc]

in for one too:)

[SlingshotBandit]

I received mine yesterday (Saturday afternoon) and it was the real Jeremiah (the Biblical version). :( Sorry, folks.....






















that I had to kid around like that. :p

It was the Malcolm Jamal Warner/Luke Perry one. Corners were slightly dented, but probably how you'd see some of the ones on store shelves looking like.

Thanks again to the OP. If it's not sold out by tomorrow night, I might buy another as a present for a co-worker.

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

This going in and out of stock is pretty common with obscure wallyworld deals.

I think it is the online equivalent of their $5.50 dump bins. Just like the mass psychology of digging through a pile of crap to find an OK movie makes it seem like a diamond in the rough, hitting refresh-page a couple of hundred times makes the deal seem even sweeter.

[JamisonBWolsh]

They say it's in stock, yet if you add one to your cart, its says "not available"

[JamisonBWolsh]

I got my email confimation saying the dvd shipped. So hopefully they shipped the tv series before they realized their mistake. Someone mentioned these dvd's were "Fullscreen" is this true? Because we all know that if the show was show in widescreen (which this was) and the dvd set is FULLSCREEN, the picture will be edited...Fullscreen sucks. I hope it's widescreen...

Checked TVTOME.com:
Features:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Region 1
Multi-Disc Boxed Set
Full Frame 1.33
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do they even make a 16:9 version of this series?

[kenbenobi]

The one night I don't check dvdtalk, and I miss out... Bummer. I wish you all luck in getting the TV series...

[JamisonBWolsh]

Keep checking the wally website every few hours. It said sold out when i wanted it, but eventually they got more in stock. So perhaps they will get more in? Good luck....

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Yes, it was shot and shown in widescreen. I distinctly remember watching it in letterbox format and having to manually zoom my widescreen tv since it was letterboxed on the standard def channel (high-def was not available from my cable provider at the time). It was part of Showtimes "sci-fridays" series. Re-runs, even in the same week, might have been in foolscreen but the first showing of each episode was definitely widescreen.

[blindrocket]

I got an email saying that mine shipped. That's really really fast, IMO.

[John Sinnott]

I don't doubt that you remember it that way Jah-Wren, but I find it curious that contemporary reviews of the series make no mention of the first season being in widescreen, something that is often mentioned.

In any case, the set is full screen, and quite a bargin at the price you found. Thanks for posting.

[shawagg]

It's dead... :( ... and I never was able to get in on it.

[SlingshotBandit]

Ha!

They corrected the price, but they still have the description wrong.


Sorry to those who didn't get in. Maybe some of the people that ordered more than one will be able to spare one of theirs.

Ha!

They corrected the price, but they still have the description wrong.

Yeah, I see that. The few that slipped thru at first must not have sent up any "red flags". But, the 200+ that slipped thru in the last few days must have really woke 'em up. :D

I suprised that they'd let those 200+ go thru at all?? Remember Monk S1? Course, that was a pre-order at the time.

Well, I got mine. Hope everyone who ordered one will get/has got theirs'. Good while it lasted.

If you misssed out on the Walmart price, you can still find this DVD set on Ebay for around $30 with shipping from various sellers (not my auctions). The set seems to retail in the $50 to $70 range.

[lsalrus]

Those will go up fast once the sellers there realize whats happened at Walmart. Most sellers there undoubtedly got them from Walmart (or had to reduce their prices to compete with those who did).

I don't doubt that you remember it that way Jah-Wren, but I find it curious that contemporary reviews of the series make no mention of the first season being in widescreen, something that is often mentioned.

In any case, the set is full screen, and quite a bargin at the price you found. Thanks for posting.

I think the episodes aired on Showtime in fullscreen, but they aired on Showtime HD in widescreen. Most people probably saw them on regular Showtime, so that might be why the reviews do not mention OAR.

That's great to hear! I just noticed your location and mine shipped from Amarillo, Tx.

Yeah, I remember Monk Season 1. I placed an order, only to have it canceled. I think the misprice was for around $12-$15.

[newbie2003]

Just want to let you guys know, I got my copy today and it is the TV series Jeremiah version. So I think most people who ordered do not have to worry.

[Badlands]

Got it today... TV series version!!

Thanks OP!

[laserdogg]

Arrived yesterday in surprisingly good condition since it was in a wimpy bubble bag.

It was the TV show - season 1

Thanks OP!

[jpdude]

well, it seems to be back in stock.....Our Price: $70.87.....AS IF! :rolleyes:

I was fortunate enough to get in on this deal (thanks again OP!), and i have plenty to watch so i'm in no hurry to get it, BUT with that being said, USPS tracking service sucks!....it's been showing the same info for 3 days now:

ELECTRONIC SHIPPING INFO RECEIVED, December 19, 2004

Your item was accepted at 7:10 pm on December 20, 2004 in AMARILLO, TX 79120. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

I'm guess that it's closer to being here than i think, it's probably just that they don't update the info like they should.

Mine hasn't updated in several days either, but at least you know yours was "accepted". I just get:
There is no record of that item. If it was mailed recently, information may not yet be available. Please try again later.
But I'm somewhat less worried now that I know they're stalled on updates across the board.

EDIT: Received today. Amazing, since the USPS has no record of the shipment.

[nixmikspop]

Ordered mine on the 18th and got it( Jeremiah TV series season 1) today. A great deal on a really good series(IMHO). Thanks Jah-Wren.

[fryinpan1]

I got mine today. thanks again!

[ScottsDvds]

It arrived today and its the TV show. Thank you. :)

[Chad]

Well, mine arrived today slightly damaged in their crappy little excuse for packaging known as the bubble bag. The bottom was a little mashed in but nothing too serious.

Thanks again OP! :up:

[gfoots]

Mine was damaged as well. Walmart shipping sucks. But I guess for the price they couldn't spend a little more on a cardboard box.

[duganrm]

found out it came in today at dad's place. he said it was too big to be a single dvd. :) I will probably pick it up later tonight or sometime this weekend.

[blindrocket]

I still haven't received mine. Hopefully tomorrow.

[jpdude]

^me either...and delivery tomorrow is VERY DOUBTFUL....we're buried under 2 ft of snow here in some places, and most of the surrounding areas have been declared State of Emergency. I'm getting Cabin Fever here!

sorry off topic kinda, but i had to vent.

what is that snow thing? temp is supposed to be in the mid-60s here tomorrow.


Dropped by dad's and picked up my copy. Aside from being a little squished, it is good. :D

:D


Dude, that's cold. -smile-

[blindrocket]

Just got mine out of the mailbox. :)

[cynthia]

The corners of my box were torn from the crappy packaging, but I'm happy. :) Thanks, OP!

[duganrm]

Dude, that's cold. -smile-
i know. i had to wear a coat when I went out earlier. ;)

[theMadness]

Just received mine from the USPS. Thanks OP!

[jpdude]

I received mine in the mail today...it's definitely Jeremiah: The Complete First Season :) and the box was in perfect shape.

[JackBurton]

Got mine. BestBuy.com has this set for $89.99. Thanks OP!

[Patman]

I got mine today as well, though the box was a bit on the beat-up side.

[dago2727]

Got mine in today as well. Box was alittle damaged, but it definitely wasnt from the shipping. Thanks again OP!

[Patman]

That's what I thought too, I think Wal-Mart found a big shipment of Jeremiah season sets that fell off the "union" truck, and now are passing on the "savings" to us "bargain" shoppers.

[pilot]

got mine as well too..slightly beat up but well worth the price..thanks :)

[Katalog]

Mine arrived yesterday...no damage to the box. Thanks to the OP for the deal.

[Wade Kainer]

Thanks to Jah-Wren for pointing out this deal. It arrived a couple of days ago in perfect shape.

I had gotten a sample DVD of the pilot from BB (with Stargate?) and it looked interesting...just not $70 interesting.

[SlingshotBandit]

So, has anyone actually started watching this yet? I figure this is not the forum to discuss what people think of dvd shows, but since we have a thread specifically designated for Jeremiah Season 1, why not give some thoughts here and there?

I haven't started watching mine yet, since I'm still wading through the other dvds I've bought. The second half of 2004 have by far been the most costly in terms of dvd spending. I'll get around to this show by mid-January. Just want to know what others think now.

[Wade Kainer]

I've gone through the first couple of discs, and it is a pretty decent show. Looks like they have several long-term arcs set up (although from what I hear, they weren't totally resolved in Season 2).

One quirk I think I see is in the opening credits for shows after the pilot. I could swear that some of the shots are squeezed to fit in the 4:3 frame...i.e. faces looking skinnier. Maybe it's just me.

All in all, I like it (especially at the reduced price) and'll probably pick up the second season if it's ever released.

[pilot]

I meant to post in here last week but forgot, regardless, I bought this never seeing the show before, and have finished it all already ..great show imo ..definately going to pick up the second season if/when it is released

[thejester]

I don't ever remember them "completing" this series - in any fashion. I thought it just disappearred from the line-ups? And, yes, it was a pretty decent post-apocalyptic(?) series.

[fiver]

Although Showtime cancelled the show, I felt that the series concluded in a satisfactory manner in that it didn't leave me wanting more (as Odyssey 5 or the season 4 farscape series finale did). I loved this show (after what I thought was a shaky beginning) and certainly would pick up season 2 if it comes out.

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

At the time, I think only half of season 2 aired on showtime (and the original creator was no longer involved after the end of season 1 due to "creative differences" with MGM), but I thought I saw something about them running the second half this last fall. I no longer subscribe to cable so I could not verify. The tvtome.com entry probably has the details.

[John Sinnott]

Actually J. Michael Straczynski was actively involved with the second season. He wrote a lot of the episodes including the final two. He has stated that if there is a third season (which seems very unlikely) he won't be involved.

The last eight episodes of the second season were shown on Showtime last September.
