Also, they "feature the original NBC network versions, 1-2 minutes longer than the syndicated versions and not seen since their original broadcast runs." Here is the cover art for all three releases, including the gift items for the Seinfeld - Gift Set:
I've seen some trailers of the DVD, in a couple of other DVDs (I think Starsky and Hutch had a trailer) Should be great
ok..i'm among the biggest seinfeld dorks in the world. and i can't imagine spending $50 on episodes of a show that is on at least 4 times a day. i know. i know. the extras. but seriously...watch that once...how many times are you gonna watch that? behind the scenes?? come on...it's a freaking sitcom, albeit the greatest sitcom EVER...EVER...EVER...EVER...EVER...EVER... still...i'm too cheap to drop $50 on this.
Its called Netflix. We hardly watch any TV anymore because we rent the TV shows off of Netflix. We just finished up the first two seasons of Six Feet Under. What an awesome show. I hope the third season comes out soon.
I concur. I don't buy DVD's any more either because of Netflix. I could only afford about twelve a year versus watching 100 + a year this way.
Yeah I wouldn't buy them either. Between TBS and WB39, you can catch 6 episodes a day. Thats enough for me.
ok..if you're not buying this...no one is. between the both of us...and neither is buying?? man...those things are gonna collect cobwebs!!!
Yeah, I saw the trailer on the Starsky & Hutch DVD. I hate to admit I rented Starsky & Hutch, though. ok..i'm among the biggest seinfeld dorks in the world. and i can't imagine spending $50 on episodes of a show that is on at least 4 times a day. There will come a day when it's not on that much anymore. Of course, the DVDs will probably still be available... and probably cheaper... at that point. Personally, I like having the option of watching the episode I want to watch (and without syndication cuts). That said, I'm probably not buying this one, either, just because while I enjoyed Seinfeld, I've not enjoyed the show nearly as much on repeat viewing. But I've purchased several other TV shows on DVD (and those of you who aren't buying this, go buy Green Acres: Season One to show there's a market for the show and entice them into putting out Season 2). By the by, what's the deal with MAP? I absolutely hate having to actually go by a place to find out the price if they're offering it for less than MAP.
If they were a lil cheaper, Id buy them, just for the novelty part of it I guess. Not for that price though. Especially for the first 3 seasons, which were nothing special IMO.
exactly. Three's Company...Brady Bunch... some shows will never leave you. I don't think Friends and Seinfeld are going anywhere very soon. They'll be in regular syndication for years....and frankly, I don't see a lot of new sitcoms ready to displace them.
How much cheaper? you're right. but it will be YEARS before it's off the air entirely. many YEARS. I'm sure, especially since there haven't been a whole lot of hit sitcoms since then that stations could replace it with. But I recall several shows where I thought "Why should I tape them, it's on every day?" only to find the show disappear from syndication not too long after. And with shows from the 1960s, I was amazed at how much was cut out of the episodes for syndication. There's a good four minutes or so removed from each episode. Even more modern shows have a couple of minutes cut for syndication (some great Simpsons jokes end up cut out for syndication, for example).
Whatever channel that's on, I don't get it because I've not seen Sanford and Son on the schedule in years. I miss several of the shows that were on TV when I was a kid. Dobie Gillis, The Life of Riley, I Married Joan, even Dick Van Dyke is on less than when I was a kid . And Green Acres and Petticoat Junction are far more difficult to find.
I'd give zero for the first few seaons, but as much as $50 for the later ones. Hey ...Cheers and Threes Company are still in syndication ......the classics will never die
My cable system doesn't carry TV Land. I noticed that TV Land has a few shows I liked that I don't see anymore, such as The Bob Newhart Show and Andy Griffith, etc.
But they will get less and less prominent and may end up only being on in the middle of the night on cable. And several classics aren't in regular syndication anymore, or are only on cable at odd times.
They given me free entertainment for years now, I'm gonna repay them a bit. You ungrateful bastards. *glaring at codell and MadMax*
