Extremely YMMV - local Walmart has Tru Calling & some other series for $20 each
My local Walmart, which is in Houston in the Webster/Clear Lake area (on I-45 and El Dorado) had Tru calling season one for $20. They had a whole rack of DVD sets for $20 - I did not write them all down, but from what I can recall, they had Cheers, seasons 1&2, Frasier 1&2, NYPD Blue, Mash 1&2, and early seasons of Will & Grace and the 70's show.
I bought Tru calling. I did not price check the other series, but from what I could see, it looked they were all $20 each.
They did NOT have the recent Buffy sale reported in another thread - the new Buffy slim-packs are $30 each.

I saw this Tuesday. It may be last a while. I use to work in electronics and was talking to my co-workers on Tuesday, and they said the movie mod had just changed, so it may be part of that. if thats the case, a mode can last around 3 months.

Depending on the dept. mgr...
I've had one (and one after I left wally) that insisted on doing them during the day (!)...

yeah we always did our during the day, over around 3 days 
And when i said it last three months, i meant that thats how long they sell these particular movies, not that it takes that long to complete.

Some of these prices can be beat right now with the DDD 20% off sale. The ones I checked were Frazier S2, Grey's Anatomy S1 and Night Court S1. Hill Street Blues S1 was less expensive at Wal-Mart. I didn't check any of the others.

Didnt pick up Tru Calling s2 since its cheaper at DDD during 20% off sale.

All Wal-Marts in my local area have this deal. There was a rep from whoever Wal-Mart buys from in the store I happened to be at yesterday. They were out of 70's s3, I asked if they would be getting more in, he said absolutley they will be restocking this rack.
My guess is Wal-Mart is trying to compete with the many B1G1 and other deals out there.
