On the Northern Exposure matter, it looks to me like it's a combined Season 1 & 2 for $19.99, not the indivual seasons 1 and 2 in those parkas. Or Season 3 or Season 4, each $19.99.
Just keep in mind the number of episodes per season:
Season 1: 8
Season 2: 7
Season 3: 23
Season 4: 25
(Season 5: 24)*
(Season 6: 23)*
* Not a part of the sale, I don't even think these seasons are out on DVD yet
So... Seasons 1 & 2 are a combined 15 episodes.
This show is finally reduced enough that I will pick them up - for now I'll just get Season 1 & 2 and see if my kids like them. If so I'll pick up 3 & 4. The shows I'm really wanting to see a price drop on like this are Quantum Leap and Sliders. Some day...

If anyone's in the market for a flash drive, there's a 2.0 GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro on sale for $44.99 this week:

It's a good drive, once you get rid of the junky U3 software that's included on the drive.

Thanks

Is there any special reason why I do want the parka version (other than it's kinda cool and my first two are parkas.)? My criticism of the first two seasons is that two-sided disks are too hard for me figure out what side is which (I always forget). Also, neither season included a complete list of episodes. Season 2 is slightly better because at least the episodes are numbered.
Will CC price match this? Maybe I can see if they have the parka version.
Thanks for the input.

The parka question is best answered by your specific tastes.

I had picked up the combined Season 1 & 2 pack for $20 from Best Buy earlier this week (didn't think to price match it at Circuit City). Season 1 is three single-sided disks, I assume Season 2 is the same. The Parkas are kind of neat to look at but it's just an expensive marketing gimmick.
And while you are at Circuit City, check out the 512MB Sandisk MP3 player for $34.99, I picked one up earlier this week and love it. Plus it has an FM tuner. Tonight I picked up a second one (for my wife).
