The total for me was $152 shipped. Now of course the price drops! Anyway, it's an amazing series and you would be crazy to not order it for ~$100 (7 seasons + a movie!).

i always forget how many amazing actors passed through the make-up chairs of Homicide (not counting all the strictly L&O cast)
Belzer
Yaphet Koto
Kyle Secor (Veronica Mars)
Isabella Hoffman
Clayton LeBouef
Reed Diamond (Judging Amy)
Daniel Baldwin (ok, not amazing - but good)
Ned Beatty (EPIC! takes up any Baldwin slack)
Michelle Forbes (Prison Break)
Giancarlo Esposito (one of my favs of all time)
also most of the writers rule too

I called their 1888 number and made the order that way. they just took the $20 off and I got it for 101.32
(so I second calling! that was the most pleasant phone order I've ever placed...)

Their phone reps are great. FYI, the 20$ is supposed to be for Civil War titles, so if you have the homicide set and add a Civil War dvd, it will take 20$ off of that title, but the 15$ off dissappears from the Homicide set.
If you call in, I wouldn't be surprised if they give you both discounts.

One more set of praise for their customer service - I just called them to mention that the sale price I bought it for last month is actually more than their regular price now - the CSA gave me a refund of the difference of what I paid and the new sale price! Best customer service ever!

If you like The Wire, I'd be surprised if you don't enjoy Homicide. It's probably in my top 3 shows of all time (along with Babylon 5 and Arrested Development).
As for the DVDs, you should be aware that there aren't any subtitles or closed captioning (and this show needs it). Also this show has a very gritty look to it. So don't expect a pristine picture.

true! all true!
the casting was always good on homicide, even for smaller or one-off roles.
also, i was messing around with the different discounts on aetv.com and they're pretty clever about their tiered discounting. to get the free shipping, you have to spend $100 (subtotal) or over w/MC - but a $100 purchase triggers the next tier of deal and increases the subtotal but gives you a different % off.
if you're not paying attention you can spend more than you mean to. calling sounds like the best idea.
i added S1 of Digging For The Truth to push my order over the century mark and it showed up in the cart as a 'Free Gift' charging me nothing for that set, but upping the price of Homicide by about 10, which is the current media price for DFTT S1. haha. sneaky!
so with the larger order i got free shipping but was charged tax.
with the smaller order i paid shipping but there was no tax added.
lol.

I ordered two during the DD B1G1 free sale for $108 on May 24th and it was back ordered. I know someone who had there order cause they said it was discontinued and they ordered it a day or 2 after me. But then came back in stock on June 3rd and mine shipped on the 5th. I still haven't received them yet but if you had your order canceled during the sale not sure if they will honor the price or not?

I asked over at the DD 20% off thread and I'll ask here. This set sounds good and the price is great but the set seems to offer neither English subtitles nor closed captioning. My ears aren't what they use to be and some older series don't have the best sound. I don't want to pass on this but there is no point getting it if I cann't understand what's going on.
Does anyone here know for sure if there are subtitles or captioning? Thanks.

Not only is this set lacking both subtitles and CC, it's a series that really needs it. I think people are much harder to understand on this show than your average series.
