Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Tempting... I might get a few from Amazon. I'd rather pay slightly more to get it from them, since I'll get it a helluva lot faster with Prime, than DD's slow as hell shipping...

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Picked up The Unusuals....

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

In for "Soap: The Complete Series" $20.99

(Thats about $5.25 a season)

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I picked up the Bewitched seasons I was missing as its the cheapest I've seen them, and grabbed Soap The Complete Series. I would have bought more but I already owned a lot of this stuff, some great prices.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Does anyone have the complete list of TV shows/seasons being sold and the prices in a nice text format I can save? Too bad I don't have a tool and know-how to extract just the titles and prices. This is the format I'd typically put stuff in my price list:
Bewitched S1-S7 - $15.49 ea. Amazon (Jan 11)

While there appear to be some nice deals here, I'm so overloaded with so much other unwatched stuff I'll probably pass. I can't afford to buy everything I've ever seen (and didn't dislike) just because it's cheap.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

It's not listed as part of the official sale, but Amazon now has Boris Karloff's Thriller series on sale for $59.99. It was selling for near $100 most places at Christmas. Amazon had it as a gold box deal in the mid $50s a couple of months ago (when I picked it up), but this is the only other time I've seen in under $75 anywhere.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

These are good prices - I bought several of these last year at the Deep Discount sale and thought I got a good price then! These are cheaper than the Big Lots sets.

Last year I paid $11.98 for Starsky & Hutch, $20.98 for Critic, $11.98 for Hazel, 10.98 for Rookies, $10.98 Barney Miller, $63.98 Norman Lear.

Is it my imagination, or have some titles increased since the sale started? "Bewitched" and "Critic" are now both $15.99, weren't they cheaper yesterday?

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

The Critic was 13.99, I believe...

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Is Soap a good blind buy? I love Katherine Helmond and $5.25 a season with the series set seems like a safe bet.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I still like it a lot...but keep in mind it probably seems a bit dated now...but the actors are so talented they make up for that "problem". Also, it starts out a little slow so don't give up if you don't like it right away.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

^ Thanks for the input, I'll check it out.

Also picked up The Fly Nun S2, as someone gave me season one as a gift last year. It was probably a re-gift, as this was a really random item to be given - but I actually thought it was a cute show.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Great series, actors, and writing. I'd highly recommend it.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

i got till death season 2 also got enter the dragon blu ray and romeo must die dvd to make it $25 for free shipping :)

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Got the whole Partridge Family Series for under 33 bucks so I'm cool with that.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Lol, a lot of these same sets are part of Dead Discount's current B1G1F sale, and they are wanting like 30 bucks for these seasons. Pathetic Deep Discount. Amazon has you beat big time here.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Great price on the All in the Family sets. I paid about $10.00 each a while back from DD.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I agree with the other comments made about this series! Excellent buy and well worth it!:)

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Still waiting for NCIS to get down to $14.99 (or less) a season...:gah: -kd5-

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I got mine for 11.49 around BF. Cheapest I've ever seen new from amazon

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

As usual around here, people have more fun bashing DD than actually checking out their prices and saving money with them.

Hart to Hart, Hazel, Starsky and Hutch 2 for $16.23 at DD; $8.49 each at Amazon.

Sanford and Son 2 for $16.23 at DD; $12.99-13.99 each at Amazon.

Seinfeld 2 for $28.35 at DD, $24.99 each at Amazon.

The Jeffersons 2 for $16.23 at DD, $14.99 and up at Amazon.

I Dream of Jeannie, News Radio 2 for $22.33 at DD, $11.49 each at Amazon

Mad about You 2 for $16.23 at DD, $11.49 and up at Amazon

To be fair, some of the prices Amazon has on sale right now are better than DD's sales price but most are not. As always, people should be comparison shopping and getting the best price. Instead, they're having too much fun spending more money and making fun of DD.

I've ordered as much from DD as anyone and everything I've ordered has always arrived in a decent amount of time and in good shape. I have a number of friends and family members who have ordered from DD and they've never had a problem. The only item I've had a problem with in the last couple of years was one hard-to-find item from Amazon that took nearly three months to ship, but I didn't have a fit about it.

There's not a whole lot in this sale I'm interested in from either place that I don't already have, but I'd place an order with DD in an instant if and when they have a deal on things I want.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I'd much rather spend more at Amazon then get fucked by DD for the 12th time.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Magnum PI S7 is $10. I am not sure if anyone noticed this but I thought I'd share.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Thanks. Great post. I'm going to start buying from DD again starting tomorrow. Your positives experiences are much more valuable than my own negative experiences. I feel foolish. How dare I pay a bit more for good service. And I now know these dozens and dozens of complaints about DD are just "bashing" and are completely without merit. I'm glad there are people like you to tell me where to shop.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

You have to admit though that the quote from "dvdjunkie32" that was referenced was not a fair representation of how the two sales compare.

I really think part of the reason some people come to DD's defense is due to the fact they get more overly generalized and sometimes just inaccurate bashing then any other vendor. DD has had their issues and it is understandable that some may not want to use them any more as a result, but some of the statements bashing them are a bit too extreme.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

:clap:

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I don't want to spend more money, but I think I'm going to have to get Bewitched at that price. I never see them go on sale.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I'm not sure if you said that with tongue in cheek, but in case you didn't... up until this last week I had defied the odds and hadn't had any trouble with DD, but it finally happened... they screwed me on a B1G1F order shipping the full priced 1 and canceling the free one. There's no way I would've bought the other 1 at full price. So people may be lucky and get a good deal with DD, but if they choose to ignore all the negative posts about DD (they are there for a reason... it's not a conspiracy against a poor, innocent company people decided to pick on) then it's like playing Russian roulette: you may come out unscathed many times you pull the trigger and buy at DD, but eventually you will reach the loaded chamber and get hurt.

I swore off any more orders from DD where there are freebies involved. DD is all but impossible to get ahold of by phone and unresponsive by email. I'm going to refuse shipment on my full priced canceled order and hope that I get credit because I can't get ahold of DD. Otherwise, I'll have to get my credit card company involved, and if that happens DD will be out of the picture completely for me... not just on B1G1F orders.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Good prices for Bewitched, though I wish Sony would just release a complete like Jeannie.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Wal-Mart has two packs of Bewtiched for 19.96 S1/2 (colorized) S3/S4 and S5 was 9.99 at Target. So only the later seasons are a decent deal.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

A pretty decent sale from Amazon. I may be in for some choice 80s detective stuff. Re. DD, I've never had any issues with them. The odd back order is all. But the changes in their operation, and the many complaints here in the past few months, gives one pause. My primary beef is how they keep throwing up "Deals" that are anything but. The current BOGO isn't bad, but now you've gotta wonder: Will I actually get the items?

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

$15.49 is pretty good price, but Costco had all the seasons for $12.99 about a year ago, so a lower price is possible. But that $8.49 for many other sets is incredible.

BTW - Has anyone gotten a shipping notice yet? (I have not).

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

I ordered Soap: The Complete Series yesterday. Got the shipping notice last night and expect it today.

Re: Amazon - TV on DVD sale
 

Has Bewitched S3/S4 been spotted recently at Target? I was going to get them at Amazon but if Target still has them I would get them there.
