If you have any Columbia House Tapes Please Read & Answer

[Chad Palmer]

I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread like this. As someone asked earlier, Columbia House sometimes releases all episodes of a series and sometimes just releases a certain # of volumes. Anybody out there who is familiar with their sets, please post how many episodes the various series have. I'd be espically interested to know how many volumes are in their "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Beverly Hillbillies" sets. Here are the ones I know of:

I Love Lucy- 60 Volumes, All Episodes (Now re-releasing on DVD)
Gilligan's Island- 20 Volumes
The Flintstones- 20 Volumes
Andy Griffith- 20 Volumes, maybe more in the future

Laverne & Shirley - 10 Volumes
The Incredible Hulk - 10 Volumes
Sanford & Son - 29 Volumes
Soap - 23 Volumes (entire series)
The Jeffersons - 11 Volumes (and counting?)
Good Times - 23 Volumes (all episodes except 1 I think have been released)

I bought the entire "Brady Bunch" set a few years ago, and it was 10 volumes. I don't know if they've added any more volumes since then.

Every Monkees episode is included. What really suckes is that there are only 10 volumes of Adam-12. 44 episodes? Ripoff.

I like to know if they sell Just The Ten Of Us tapes!! if u know e-mail me or post a reply!! How much did the brady bunch sereis cost? Id be interesting in knowing!! thanks

[Chad Palmer]

I can answer part of your question. Typically they charge $4.95 for your first volume (plus shipping), then $19.95+shipping=24.95 for each subsequent volume. They usually ship one every 4-6 weeks. If you ask they WILL allow you to buy an entire 10 volume series at once. Doing it this way costs about $200 if my math is correct (they charge the same prices as above, but reduce the shipping to a flat $15 rate)

[dawsongirl]

So are you saying that if I called CH and asked them to send me the entire A-12 library, they would for $200?

[Chad Palmer]
