Gilligan and Wonder Woman are black?!?!?!?! It's a lot more than just "black" sitcoms. They have TONS of $13 box sets... In addition to what you listed, all of the Gilligan's Island seasons, plus Wonder Woman, and more. This deal was posted already, but I'm too lazy to look for it...

I've been to a few Walmarts in my area and I am still having trouble finding Wonder Woman season 3. Is there anyone in the state of Colorado that has seen this at a local Walmart? Thanks for any help.

The OP is right. There actually are many Walmarts which have just the black sitcoms for $13.00.

Most of the inner city Walmarts here in Charlotte, NC (which has a sizeable African-American population) have only the black sitcom display.

It's only in the Walmarts in the suburbs or the more quote-unquote "affluent" parts of town that I've seen the Gilligan's Island, Wonder Woman, Fall Guy, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Dukes Of Hazzard sets, etc.

Walmart appears to be stocking these sets based on the racial and ethnic demographics of the neighborhoods where the various stores are located, so if you're looking for particular titles YMM (definitely) V.

Just found Gilligan's Island Season 2 online for $13. Do ship-to-store to save shipping costs...
