There's actually a few really good discs here.

Pee Wee Herman Show - the original "adult" HBO special, less than $6 is a pretty good deal

Just for Kicks - a really interesting doc about sneakers and the rise of hip hop, very well done and very interesting (and somewhat enraging)

Thanks for the heads up ... I almost got my "Collections" and "Seasons" mixed up ... I already have the first 3 "Seasons" which I got a while back at Costco for under $30 a "Season".

They can also be purchased one season at a time...you don't have to purchase the entire collection. Not much of a bargain right now ($70 per season), but the complete set can sometimes be found on sale for a decent price.
You are forgetting the best part, all the episodes are uncut. Every episode contains the original opening, bumpers, Rod Serling ads for the next week's episode and an ad for a CBS show at the very end. The definitive sets are really a treat to watch.

They all sell for $47.25 each from DD - $37.80 during the sale. The transfers are noticibly improved - check it out. The complete set has some serious packaging issues.

Glad you mentioned this. I bought the complete definitive collection but haven't had a chance to watch any of it yet.

For those still considering the $19.99 sets, see separate thread about Deep Discounts current B1G1 sale on the definitive season sets. $47.25 for two seasons or $202.50 for two complete sets ($101.25 if you can find someone to split the cost and buy the second copy off of you).

Late Night Shopping for 5.49??? This is a TREASURE in the pile of rubbish. For fans of movies from the UK that are actually good, pick this up.

Very underrated, and it's a shame to see it lumped in with movies by Todd Bridges and Paris Hilton.

I just came in this thread to say the exact same thing. I love this movie.
