That show for me would be That's My Mama. I was very disappointed and it was a wasted $70.00

I guess for me it was Gimme A Break. I just don't think that show holds up anymore.

I bought "Nick&Jessica:The Newlyweds" Seasons 2&3, and I haven't finished it yet. I may try to watch it later. It's just the same as when I watched it n MTV.

People "say" that it was uncut, I compared it to my network version and Oxygen, and I saw a little difference. So I didn't miss much, plus the extras sucked. It was just a waste of money.

Well it must not have been one of your favorites, was it a Blind Buy?

No I really like the show, I thought that there were going to be Uncut scenes that I've never seen before. It just sucked when I actually had time to sit down and watch it.

The Nanny S2. I bought it $34.99, with no extras, and have only watched it once. Another one is the Best of Match Game release. When you watch the show on DVD, it is just not the same as on DVD, and was boring. Also, The Facts of Life. As much as I wanted this show on DVD, I have not watched the episodes much at all. They just seem old, and not funny at all.

Facts of Life is watchable from 1981 to 1986 so u must be talking about season 1 and 2

i bought that's my mama also, but i didnt consider it a total waste. season 1 was ok, season 2 was a waste. for me, i would say i've been pretty lucky as to have only bought what i liked. gifts however are a different story. I've got countless classic tv show dvd's that i have gotten as gifts. these are the single disk type that are better left in the $1 bin at walmart then in my dvd changer. Some of them seem to even be pirated or something. The quality is certainly not what you get when you buy a studio released dvd. Some of them I haven't even opened. Mom and Dad mean well, but I haven't got the heart to tell them that the dvd's they pick stink. When I first got my dvd changer, i was loading everything into it. But I have since thought better of that, and i dont bother loading in the garbage i'll never watch.

I remember when you kept going on and on about that show like it was the best thing ever and I was even thinking about getting Season 1. Then you said the show sucks so I decided not to get it. You saved me about $30 and I never got to thank you for it. :lol:

I actually saw an episode of That's My Mama on you tube a few months back and didn't think it was too bad but it's definitely not a show I'd ever consider buying on dvd.




One show I bought which I felt was a waste of money was the first season of Kate and Allie. I used to like it when I was younger and hadn't seen it in about 15 years so I wanted to check it out but I barely finished the set. I thought it was boring.

I picked up the first season of Soap at Game Stop for $12.99 and ended up selling it on ebay. I just didn't care for the humor at all, and I thought I remembered liking it when it was on air. Oh well.

Thanks goodness that's the only set I've totally regretted buying .. so far, lol.

For me, Season 1 of Wonder Woman in the World War II setting is the only good season. The other seasons in the modern setting are mindnumbingly boring to the max!

I am. Those seasons were just boring. There were too many girls, so they could no focus on anything to specific.

Boy Meets World: Season 2

I bought it a couple years ago and I haven't watched it yet. I don't want to buy Seasons 1 or 3, because beyond that they aren't releasing any more seasons.

Married with children season 1. The 1st season is not really that watchable. I like the latter seasons though.

I also have to say Everybody Loves Raymond sea 1 was a waste. I like the show but I got sea 1 for 50$ I know I should've got it cheaper. Plus it's always on tv so I don't watch my sea 1 dvd much.
