How many of the DVD sets have you bought or plan to buy? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Blackout · 02-17-2005, 05:52 PM

I know the sales of the first wave of DVDs (UFOs, Ghosts, Miracles) are reported to be weak, which is why we might not see any more DVD sets in the future (unless some sort of miracle happens), but I'm curious to see how the hardcore U.M. fans on this board answer

-TRANCE- · 02-17-2005, 06:09 PM

I've bought them all. UFO's, Ghost's and Miracles were in store, The next recent three were bought online, cause i couldn't find them in store. Im glad i have purchased them all though, very pleased.

Blackout · 02-19-2005, 10:03 PM

somebody actually voted for buying none of them? you bastard

dynoguy88 · 02-19-2005, 11:51 PM

I have the "Ghosts" and the "Bizarre Murders."

If they were to come out with a "Missing Persons" set, I would buy that in a second.

SP4CE INV4DERZ · 02-20-2005, 12:37 AM

I have them all except Miracles (Murders, Psychics, Legends are in the post still). Is Miracles worth buying? Oh and to those who have Legends, do we get the full Alcatraz special episode? I am praying we do

Miracles is pretty good. The Alcatraz segment runs for 28:33 mins.

I'm a true-crime enthusiast, so the Bizarre Murders one is the only one that appeals to me. I will be ordering it this week.

I didn't vote, so there must be at least two "bastards" on this board.

Truthfully, I probably won't buy any of the sets. Why? UFOs, Ghosts, and Miracles do not appeal to me. Most of the stories on the Bizarre Murders set are as lame as can be, and then there is the Legends set which has a few decent stories that are worth checking out. Oh yeah, I already have all of those on tape, unedited to boot. Bummer.

Maybe I'll bite if they release a "Bizarre Murders 2" with more stories from the '87-'93 period. Until then I'll pass. While I can not speak for the other person who does not plan to buy the sets, that is my two cents. Perhaps they, and others feel the same.

Later,

I have got the Ufo's one,Ghosts,Psychics and Legends I will eventually buy Miracles online.I was suprised to see Bizarre Murders at a Walmart this past weekend because the first 3 didn't sell good.Actually the Bizarre Muders one was only $28 at Walmart.I enjoy watching these dvds on weekends when lifetime doesn't show it.

Solanis · 02-25-2005, 09:33 PM

Ive bought all 6 of them and will buy every one they come out with. I love the show so much I want to make sure I have as many episodes as possible if heaven forbid they should ever stop showing it on TV. I also have several taped. I never get tired of them no matter how many times Ive seen them before!!

I said most of the stories are lame, not all. The fact that they did not include so many far better stories from the '87-'93 period is the reason I will not be buying this set. Granted there are some cool stories on the set too. The boys on the tracks, the zodiac/unabomber, Cindy James, the Armbracheau (sp?) case to name a few. But, in my mind, the inclusion of a few good stories does not warrant coughing up the dough to buy the entire set when I could care less about the majority of other stories they are subjecting us to.

Again, this is my two cents.

I already own the UFOs, Psychics, and Bizarre Murders DVD Sets. I am now planning to buy the Strange Legends DVD Set because it actually has some pretty cool segments. My friend owns the Ghosts DVD Set, so I could just go over to his house to watch it. And as for the Miracles DVD Set, I'm not really that interested in buying it at all.

mastamatt · 05-22-2005, 12:27 PM

I own ghosts and ufos. I got 'em for Christmas. I do plan on buying the bizarre murders and legends for sure, even though I heard legends is missing many good ones. Miracles doesn't interest me that much, and I can't say much more for psychics. I've only seen a few episodes and they were decent, but didn't keep me intrigued or anything. I think I'll keep taping them on tv, though. It might be the only way to see some old fav's missing from the sets. I wouldn't mind a new UM show, just to profile some newer or undocumented cases. The new host could never replace Stack, but still, I want to see more stories.

I see that these box-set DVD's are now as low as $17 on ebay and DeepDiscountDVD.
