I got it

watched one episode, good quality and i got it on sale for 21.99

MY ONLY COMPLAINT with this season and the ALL IN THE FAMILY sets is they make them look so much alike, couldnt they make the sets look a bit more different? i almost overlooked it next to the other seasons

I'm not trying to be smart or anything but when did you all of a sudden become a jeffersons fan? I never see you here before

Lamont · 08-15-2006, 02:24 PM

i collect many old shows
and im trying to be more active in other parts of the boards now
and trying to become a little less disagreeable
it has been brought to my attention by others that I have too often focused on the bad and not the good--- focusing on things i disagree with on things, instead of what i enjoy--- so im trying to take a step back and remember WHY i started trading to start with--- and that was because i love tv
and love tv shows

today for instance, i purchased

jerffersons season 5
hogans heroes ssn 4
surface the complete series
remington steele season 4 and 5

i collect MAINLY 70s shows for my own fun, and PREFER the black sitcoms of the 70s--- sanford, good times, whats happening, thats my mama, etc

HOWEVER i am also a fan of some 50s shows such as the less common, OUR MISS BROOKS, MY LITTLE MARGIE, I MARRIED JOAN, HONEYMOONERS, BURNS AND ALLEN etc

now the jeffersons in particular---- i LOVED the show for the first few years to be honest

i think Helmsley has such comic timing and the show was really fun, of course in later years --- much like All In The Family (when it became Archie Bunkers Place) they watered it down too much and it became somewhat predictable

BUT the first 3-4 years were hilarious

it seems that most of the shows i liked in the 70s--- good times, happy days, jeffersons, all in the family, Laverne and Shirley--- ALL of them seemed to peter out toward the end and end pretty weakly

I was a little annoyed by the ONE edited ep out of the 24 eps but that's not too bad but it still makes me wonder why that one ep on the season 5 DVD couldn;t be UNCUT

I picked up my copy on my way home from work, so now it's part of the collection. When I'll get around to watching it, I don't know.

Well that was my plan but Tower Records said it was a delay in the store receiving the DVD. I left out of there so PISSED off. Now I will have to order it online

No i will try and go to FYE in the mall which is 2 blocks away from my job. See Tower Records is in the same direction of my apt when going home, FYE is in the opposite direction. So before I order online I wll try FYE

I ended up having to order mine off of Amazon after all. The only season I ever bought in a store was Season 3 about three weeks after it was released. It was before I visited TVShowsOnDVD frequently and I just forgot it had been released. I called up all the stores around here and K-Mart of all places had it. I was shocked to learn that they did.

selena2078 · 08-16-2006, 02:45 AM

yep i had to search for it myself around here. had to drive bout 30 miles to get it but its here n playing in my dvd player now. now hoping season 6 comes in a reasonable time frame.

Lamont · 08-16-2006, 08:23 AM

WHAT I HATE is when u see a new season of a set come out

u pay full price
and 2 months later its marked down to 14.99 or something!!!!

TVJunkie101 · 08-16-2006, 08:52 AM

That's why I typically wait to buy a show. I'd love to run out and buy it the first day it comes out, but I just end up waiting. I'm a HUGE Jeffersons/All In The Family/Good Times, etc. fan and I still only have S1 of The Jeffersons and only the first 2 of Good Times, lol. And if I really love the show and want it badly, I pre-order it because it's usually much cheaper than the standard release price.

I almost never buy sets in stores anymore. I usually just order off of Amazon.com. I don't pay for shipping and handling, and they offer good deals a lot of the time. I just now bought Gimme a Break - Season 1 (for $20). And I pre-ordered Mama's Family, which is only $18 bucks on Amazon, which is a huge markdown of price.

A lot of times I also just buy used sets for an incredibly cheap price from the Amazon Marketplace. Sure it's risky buying from common sellers, but meh, I've yet to have a problem.

TVFactFan · 08-16-2006, 12:29 PM

Ok I going to the Store now and buy this DVD. The guy just told me on the phone that they have ONE LEFT and if I get there and that one is gone, I will go crazy inside the mall and may be on the local news. FINGERS CROSSED
