Dinner for Five, the Complete Series
I've heard much about this show but have never actually seen it. Still, the reviews (all two of them) are VERY positive, so for $10/season.....
Enjoy!

Are we sure this is not some sort of listing error? Has any studio ever released a DVD on a Friday before? If its legit, I may be down for one. As its been said already, not bad for $10/season.
EDIT: DD has Season 1 for only $9.05, this may not be as sweet a deal as originally thought.

yep just ordered my copy today. been waiting on this since i bought the 1st season in August of 04...
Certainly not a bad price for 50 episodes (39 of which havn't been released on DVD before)
I was beginning to think this was never gonna come out.
highly recommended even for a blind buy. This show was insightful and often hilarious.

Or you can buy just the third season for the same price: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...TA1L4U/dvdtalk
Somethin's screwy here.

I don't think there's much doubt this is legit, it's a pre-order and specifically states Seasons 1-4 in the item upon checkout.

I'm in, blind buy for me, but I've heard many good things about this show. Looking through the episode list, the OCD side of me will demand that I watch the seasons and episodes in order, but I cannot possibly wait for episode 3.9 (I just hope it's not a letdown!).

VERY tempting, but I've spent too much the past couple months. Hopefully it'll still be around in September. Might get it then... Good deal, though.

Now fans can create personalized DVDs of their favorite moments to relive anytime and receive them within days of ordering on Amazon.com.
If you want to interpret that differently, that's fine by me, but please keep the complaining to a minimum once you've received your DVD-R's.

All right... let's just put this to bed. If you look here, you'll see that several of the individual episodes (right up through the 4th season) have been released on DVD by Fairview Entertainment as of July 12th, so.... I'm going to go out on a limb and say these are not DVD-Rs, nor do they have anything to do with the CustomFlix versions, since you can pick and choose (aka customize) the content you want on those.
