Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
I'm not wasting gas... just time wandering around part of the store (I never look in the clothes or housewares sections) because I only do my "look for I Love Lucy and Sabrina" rounds when I'm already going to Target for something else (which typically happens once a week).
I appreciate your offer, but I'll pass. I've learned that with patience (though it may take years) eventually I'll get it for $15 or less (unless it goes OOP), and I've already got too much other stuff to watch (I just got The Incredible Hulk set yesterday) so waiting is easy on some stuff. Thanks again for the offer.

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
I know some of these 2 packs are on clearance, and I picked up S1 and S2 of "Sabrina" and I'm blowing through them pretty fast. Does anybody know if they're going to package 3 and 4 together at some point?

Surprised to see many of the newer sets on sale -- though they are only about 3.00 off.
Did notice:
Gilmore Girls S1/S2 14.99
most of the other 19.99 sets were 16.99.
and Lipstick Jungle S2 is 4.75 AGAIN (like the third or fourth "sale" on this item from it's regular price of 5.00).
Some I Dream of Jeannie sets at 8.99. (I think it was S3 and S4 -- waiting for S5 ....)
No new single TV sets, mostly the older TV series for the same sale price they have had them for in the past.

FYI, Big Lots has been getting Sabrina seasons for $5 or $6 a season, so you may want to look there...

They can't give Lipstick Jungle away but can someone tell me how much the Square Pegs Complete Series DVD set is going for on sale at Target? Friend of mine loves that show.

Aw man, thanks! Do you know which seasons? The nearest Big Lots to me is about 40 minutes away and I probably won't be going until next weekend. I wanted to get a few more Sabrina sets this weekend too, so I figure this weekend I'll get the ones that Big Lots isn't carrying. Though I know not all Big Lots' inventory is the same

Season 1 - 4 have been spotted but it's a big YMMV.

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
Since BF I have only seen Sabrina the Teenage Witch S4 at BL. I've gone to several different stores since then (I've slowed down now) and not seen any other seasons (nor any more copies of S4 since BF). On top of that I've never seen any seasons of Family Ties or Love Boat at my BLs, so once again the regional variations come into play and some areas simply don't get certain sets. I would definitely buy S1-S3 @ $6 each if I ever saw them.
If you dislike driving as much as I do (and very few people do), I'd suggest you call the store first and try to pressure an employee to look at the DVD sets for you to see if they see any Sabrina seasons because your chances are high that you won't find what you want due to inventory differences. Saying "not all Big Lots' inventory is the same" is an understatement. I'd say most Big Lots have many common items, but every store has some things that others don't (at any moment).

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
Square Pegs is $8.99 on sale and $9.99 regularly.
I'm surprised how well it holds up...dated to be sure, but a lot of the humor still works.
I picked up "Lipstick Jungle" for completions' sake. Got both seasons for a whopping $9.75 total. First season is showing up at Big Lots for $5.
Also grabbed "Modern Family" for $18.99...best price I've seen yet for that.

You got a hell of a deal on the entire series of that show and thanks for the heads up on Square Pegs. Heard it was corny and dated but something similar to that other show Saved By the Bell.

No comparison between Square Pegs and Saved By The Bell.
SP was a critic's darling that unfortunately lasted only a season.
SBTB was...well...SBTB...Apparently a decent amount of nostalgia for it, but not exactly Shakespeare. It was on Saturday mornings for a reason.

I purchased seasons 1-4 of Sabrina and ended up selling them in Jan. You should check the Big Lots trade thread as there may be some copies listed there. (I had to go to several different stores to get all four.)

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
Exactly. And I learned a long time ago when they refuse to pricematch because it's on the 15th day not to say "OK, then I'll just rebuy it at the lower price and return this one". The one time I did that the employee looked surprised like she had never conceived someone might do that and told me that would be an unethical way around "the system". I did it at a later time and left quickly as she acted like she was in shocked horror that I was the scum of the earth and wanted to call one of their wannabe cops (security guards) to tackle me (or maybe execute me on the spot with their billyclub). If they put loopholes in their system, (1) they should have the brains to realize they exist (nobody had to tell me about this... it was immediately obvious) and (2) they shouldn't get mad and self righteous if someone uses it. Now when they rattle on about their short pricematch window, I just let them go on feeling smug thinking they're sticking it to the consumer. The only time this doesn't work is when the item is out of stock.
I found a hidden seasonal DVD section last week, but it was only Valentine's day stuff. I have yet to find the elusive 2-pack TV seasons section (with any in stock) away from electronics at any Target store (and I won't order from Target.com and pay shipping), and I'm pretty tired of looking for I Love Lucy or Sabrina.

. I just wish I had left that table at home instead of lugging it in my car. I haven't opened these sets at all. I asked a few associates at different locations what would happen if the price decreased within 90 days and I was told just bring it back and return it and buy it again. I keep all my receipts and I have no shame in doing it. I haven't opened any of the sets yet anyway. I think that's the key with DVDs just don't open them and hold onto the receipt! All the great save stuff gets reduced for the most part starting about now unitl they run out of stuff in about probably the beginning of March. If only you were here we have tons of I Love Lucy and Sabrina sets and no one is buying them! Oh and the way to get around the items being out of stock...a rain check! (9/10 this works)

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
Good luck with that rain check... These titles are supposedly "limited stock" and will most likely *not* get restocked. That said, the store here *did* get some "Brady Bunch" restock a couple of weeks ago and while there today I saw a single copy of "I Love Lucy" S1/S2 which hasn't been on the display since I first saw it ~4 weeks ago (even then it could be a return) - but the rest is very picked over. *Everything* that's left could easily fit on a single side of one of the cardboard display sets.

But still good price on the entire series of Square pegs versus the Screech show though, but mind you, that lasted within three different incarnations.

I remember "Saved By The Bell" started out as "Good Morning Miss Bliss" with Hayley Mills on the Disney Channel, but she left before it mutated into SBTB.
Obviously biased towards "Sqaure Pegs" here but I can't deny SBTB's popularity and longevity.

Martin 2 season Combo, 3-4 For $16.99
They also had a few $2.00 DVDs including Immigrants, an Animated show(movie?) I somehow never heard of with Hank Azaria doing voices...

Re: TARGET -- 2 packs of TV sets -- 19.99
So I didn't see anyone else post this, but at my Target (Seattle area) I just saw season 1 and 2 of nip/tuck for $20. Look everywhere else (Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc) and you will find each season for around $40, sometimes a bit lower. So $20 at target gets you $80 worth of an awesome, guilty pleasure dark drama...
This is an AMAZING DEAL! Now I'm trying to find a good deal on the rest of the series...
