American Dreams Season 1 $16.96 at Wal-Mart!

I just bought Season 1 of American Dreams at Wal-Mart for $16.96 + tax!

For comparison's sake, it's selling at Best Buy for $24.95 and $19.99 at Circuit City. Apparently, the MSRP on it was dropped from it's original point of $90. I hope this drop will spur sales so that Season 2 can be released soon.

This DVD set has the strangest packaging I've seen for a TV series. Instead of one big digipak with all 7 discs in it, they opted for two, one with 4 discs in it and one with 3 discs in it.

I wish they wouldn't have cancelled this show. I will have to take a look at my WM.

I saw this yesterday at my local WM as well. I had it in my hands, but put it back at the last minute. I'm awfully tempted to go back and get it though. I remember wanting to buy it right about when it first came out and it was way expensive. So tempting...

I think the music was good. That's the reason it did have a $90 MSRP.
I got mine from CHTVClub as a enrollment & bought one in Nov. when J&R had them for $16. Glad I sold one.

Deep Discount has it for 19-something, so I'll probably order it when the 20% sale appears. I only wish it was in the correct aspect ratio.

Handled very well, which is probably why it cost so much to begin with. There are countless Bob Dylan songs which was definitely to my liking. Very good show that ended a couple seasons sooner than it should have. Beginning to doubt we'll see the last two seasons on DVD.

I also saw this at Wal Mart over the weekend. Too bad I paid $50 for it when it was originally released 3 or 4 years ago. Oh well, it's a quality show and I was happy they retained all the original music. 2 of the highlights of the show for me were:
1) Gail O'Grady (she is absolutely stunning)
2) Brittany Snow's Meg Pryor Character

Don't forget Milo Ventimiglia - pre-Heroes fame!
