Re: General Costco DVD Thread
Dr. Who was not filmed in HD until the Tennant specials so previous seasons are not likely to be upgraded to blu .

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
Actually, you can do an HD transfer of anything that was originally filmed, although how much detail it's its capable of will depend on the elements and their condition (16mm vs. 35mm, etc.). Videotape, which was the original medium for most older BBC shows, never had the resolution of film, and there is only so much you can do with it.

My Costco had "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer: The Complete Series Starring Darren McGavin" and the "The Honeymooners - Classic 39 Episodes" one was 22.99 and the other was less like 19.99 or 16.99, I really can not remember right now.

As far as the Honeymooners set mentioned above, it was $19.99 at costco.

All seasons of Lost $12.99 each.
On another note my favorite bargain, $1.50 hot dog has changed again. First no longer Hebrew National hot dogs, now the fountain service is no longer Coke. It's Pepsi ugh. I know many people prefer Pepsi and will be happy about this change. I am not. Oh well nothing lasts forever and they still have Coke machines but of course you have to pay for that.

Saw some side by side double packs of TLC types of shows. Chasing Classic Cars seasons 1 & 2 for example. However, they didn't seem to have much left. Has anyone seen any other shows, specifically Overhaulin'?

Dang, reading through some of this thread I realize I never saw the McGavin Mike Hammer set here. Would have liked to picked that up.
Anyway, saw seasons 1-4 of 30 Rock for $6.99 each.

Why is this so pricey? Makes me glad I bought it!
