Is the $16.99 price for Everybody Loves Raymond for all seasons? Last time I was at Costco that was the price for the 1st 3 seasons. The other seasons were under $26 each.

I saw Abbott & Costello TV Show Seasons 1 and 2 for $22.09 each.
The Bogart Signature collections were $36.19 each. My Costco had only 3 of Volume II and about 15 of Volume I. Volume II has all the new releases like the 3 disc Maltese Falcon

Does anyone see any deals on Arrested Development S1+2? I thought a couple weeks ago they were pretty cheap.

I updated my original post with several sets i saw today. My local Costco restocked the DVD section and now we have a large selection of titles. Many boxsets and catalog titles. i also noticed a lot of Christmas DVDs including the Limited Edition of Polar Express.

Yes, I believe that had most of the seasons when I was there at the beginning of the week. Unfortunately I don't remember the price...maybe $34-36? Sorry.

Thanks, I completely missed it. That also saves me a trip to Costco seeing as how they're $2 more expensive than Wal-Mart.

After seeing this thread saying what sounded like all seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond (or at least seasons 4 and 5) were $16.99, I wasted a trip to my local Costco. I called first, and after several attempts when I finally got through I got the typical answer from membership "we're too busy to check prices... you'll have to come in". In other words, their usual quality service.

So I went in and the "deal" was seasons 1-3 @ $16.89 and seasons 4-6 @ $25.89 with a $8 discount if you combine 1-3 with 4-6, but if you went in like me only wanting seasons 4-6, you were SOOL ($25.89 each, no discount). I don't know if the deal wasn't posted accurately here or if my local Costco is lame and doesn't have the same deal other people's stores have.

I also saw Daniel Boone S1 & S2 at Costco and Sam's for $29 and change. I didn't know Fess Parker played Daniel Boone... I thought it was Davy Crockett. Never having seen Daniel Boone, I don't know if this non-Disney series is good like the old Disney westerns. I searched on DVD-Basen for reviews on it and surprise surprise (a la Gomer Pyle) there were no reviews. I guess it's only been out a week or two, so I'm silly to expect any reviews on a non-popular show like this, but I bet in another month we'll be lucky to see 1 review on DVD-Basen.

Fess Parker played both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. Check out the trailer for Daniel Boone at this site: http://www.liberationentertainment.com/title.php?id=12

The restoration on season 2 (the first season in color, season 1 was B&W) is fantastic, especially for a show 40 years old. I'm not sure if they did much restoration on season 1 based on what I saw on TVLand in August and comments I've read on HTF. I bought season 2 of Daniel Boone at Costco and would recommend it if you like Disney's Davy Crockett that Fess Parker starred in. Pick up a bottle of Fess Parker Chardonnay while you're at Costco.

P.S. Don't bash Costco for not seeing if they have a DVD in stock when you call. We all know that it is a warehouse store and they're not geared for that.
