I noticed yesterday afternoon that Amazon is temporarily sold out of this new set. I guess it's been pretty popular with buyers!

I've been to several Wal-Mart's and they have almost all had the new Mayberry RFD entire series on DVD for $39.96. Each store has only had one copy on the shelf that I've seen. I bought mine there and am enjoying it.

One thing I noticed on the Palm Springs episode, the first one where they go out on the dune buggy, in the desert. The accompanying music sounds different on the DVD version vs. the broadcast version, yet there is no music substitution note on the set.

I'm eventually going to do a comparison, once I somehow get my hands on the syndication episode.

I now have the Mayberry RFD complete series DVD, found a pretty good deal on ebay, $31 new and still sealed, paid a total of $38 after the shipping fee and tax was added in.

First episode I wanted to watch was "Hair" from season 3 because a reviewer on Amazon said it's a poor episode and I wanted to see what I think. So I watched it and it's a decent episode, I wouldn't say it's a great episode but certainly not poor. Anyway, I'm glad to now have the DVD's and plan to watch more episodes as time goes along.

And it's good the episodes are full screen formatted as they should be. Unlike the Ozzie & Harriet DVD's from MPI where someone thought it would be a great idea to windowbox the episodes with black bars on all sides of the screen. Those DVD's are a disaster and I'm still furious about it but it is what it is.

Glad you got the set, 1960sTVfan! I love it. Am just now starting to re-watch my set after about a year when I first bought it. I also ordered season 7 of the Andy Griffith Show because this was such a good season of TAGS and a good segue into MRFD.
