Dean Winchester 08-19-2004, 12:28 AM I plan on getting the Futurama sets... but way down the road
Moonlit_Suburb 08-19-2004, 02:25 AM The only DVD on that list I'm remotely interested in is Boy Meets World, and I'm not even sure if I want that show yet...
gOoSe 08-19-2004, 02:56 AM Boy Meets World: The Complete First Season
EmoJoe 08-19-2004, 10:44 AM Boy Meets World :rock:
TVQuack 08-19-2004, 10:57 AM Futurama and Boy Meets World
spunkygirl 08-19-2004, 12:24 PM Boy Meets World and Dallas :D
vashti1999 08-19-2004, 01:52 PM A few months ago, I would have definitely said I'd get "The Apprentice" because I love the show, but I'm not sure it holds up well to repeated viewings. I wouldn't mind having the Benny Hill set or Boy Meets World, but if I ever get those, it won't be right away. And New Zoo Revue, just to look back at a show I loved as a little kid.
barwars 08-19-2004, 04:26 PM DEFINATELY getting on Tuesday:
Boy Meets World - Season 1
The Munsters - Season 1
And eventually:
Futurama - Volume 4
Classic TV Fanatic 08-19-2004, 07:11 PM The Munsters - Season 1
Lady T 08-19-2004, 07:29 PM Dallas
Dean Winchester 08-19-2004, 08:42 PM is it me or is Boy Meets World more popular NOW than when it was actually in first-run? Seems like teenagers all over the place love that show today... I was a teen when the show was on, and most everyone I knew watched Friends and Seinfeld instead at 14, not BMW. Not a pro or bash (I've never seen the show), just an observation

Hmmmmm in a way it is, but it was pretty popular in it's original run too.
I guess it's gotten more popular thanks to being in syndication on Disney Channel and ABC Family now :)
Adamantium 08-19-2004, 10:04 PM Boy Meets World (A show I've wanted for a long time.)
Futurama (I'll finally own the entire series!)
The Munsters (Since there were only 2 seasons, I'll own half the series.)
Maybe later, "Night Gallery."
dandelion wine 08-20-2004, 12:11 AM Benny Hill
Boy Meets World
Dallas
Night Gallery
Dean Winchester 08-20-2004, 12:15 AM very cool to see what a fight Futurama is putting up... didn't realize there were animation fans here besides me, AKA and Barwars
combsisthebest 08-20-2004, 01:08 AM Boy Meets World is the only one I can see that I am interested in (I only like the early years of that show, anyway).
Dean Winchester 08-20-2004, 04:04 PM wow, Futurama is actually ahead of Boy Meets World. So awesome to know how many other fans there are in here. Usually 90% of the time, I'm the only person who votes for my pick of the week (I recall being the only person who voted for Buffy season 6 on May 25th)

Ahh, the last Tuesday in May.... always time for Cheers and Frasier.

I definately think so.
Let me think, when I was 14 I was watching.... Cheers (about 9 years after it ended, but who cares?!)
Im a fan of all 3 (Boy Meets World, Friends and of course Seinfeld)
If we only knew how to find out how TVDVDs sell.... I predict BMW and Futurama to be big hits.

When I made that "World At War" crack in my first post in this thread (of course) I was kidding. I expected to see a BMW landslide in this poll, but Futurama is holding its own.

you'd be surprised at the followings Fox animated series' have. Simpsons and Family Guy were (well, Chappelle might've knocked FG to #3) the top 2 biggest selling tv-DVD's ever. Futurama's not quite as big as those two (i.e., it's gone for good, FG is coming back thanks to huge DVD sales) but it does have a built-in audience thanks to Groening fans who wanna see his other work besides Simpsons.

At their bests, The Simpsons is better.
But a lot of Futurama episodes are better than episodes of The Simpsons.

I used to love The Simpsons. Now I can't stand them. I love Futurama, like Family Guy and like King of the Hill. I think if any of them was going to have a movie in the theater, I'd go see Futurama.
Remember this is the FINAL DVD set for Futurama. Every episode will be on DVD this Tuesday. Whereas the other shows, it's just the first season. So there are people all set to complete their Futurama collection.
DVD has made me a big fan of Futurama. I never really watched it on FOX. But once I bought the first set on DVD, I was hooked.

Best Buy - ?
Circuit City - $39.99
Target - $35.99
Best Buy is selling it for $32.99, but they are also having a buy "Buy 2 Get $10 Off" sale.
Buy 3 and get $20 Off.
Buy all 4 and get $40 off. (and I may just do that)
Season 1 is $32.99
Season 2 is $40.99
and Season 3 is $40.99
But with $40 off, you get the whole series for just $112.96.
And I may just do that.

$44.99 is ALOT.
Hopefully its cheaper in stores.
barwars 08-22-2004, 07:39 AM I think Im going to order both BMW and The Munsters from deepdiscountdvd.com
They may come after the 24th, but saving money is saving money.
