DVD cases have changed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was in a local music/movie store in Memphis where I live called Spin Street and look what I saw.

It appears they are now using the same kind of case for the other seasons that they used for Season 1. Season 3 was the only season I saw there that had the new case. There were two copies of it. They also had Season 1, and Seasons 6-8 with the old cases, but I'm sure in a few months they will have them all with the new cases.

That seems kind of strange, wonder why they are doing that? I thought that case was only used for season 1 because it was a short season

I don't know. Maybe those cases are cheaper. This was the same thing Sony did to Seasons 1-6 of All in the Family about 3 years ago.

You can still get the original season 3 DVD case from ebay.

I was in Spin Street today and saw the revised Season 5 case there. Pictures are below.

I was in Best Buy on Black Friday and saw the revised case for Season 8.

As you can see in the background, they also had the original case as well.

The (Original) Season 5 DVD Boxset that I have has Jack, Janet, Cindy, Chrissy on the back.

I'm fine with the original cases, but these are nice because they take up less space.

BigManMike · 02-20-2013, 05:45 PM

So I was in Spin Street today and they had the new cases for all the seasons except Season 7. They still had a couple of Season 7 with the old cases and few other old ones, but mostly new ones. Here are Seasons 2, 4, and 6, plus the shelf of them.

Bigcookie-Interesting that only Season 7 is not in the thin case because I sent Season 7 back to Amazon twice and still got the old case twice so all of them is the thin cases except season 7 but it is going to look weird on my shelf though but I guess I will get used to it

Is there another store near you that you can go to and see if there is actually season 7 in the thin cases?

Sony recently re-released Seinfeld in the thinner flip cases. But its the same thing, one season (season 4) is not available in the newer case. I've looked everywhere for it. I don't understand this at all.

The newer Seinfeld cases take up half the shelf space.

I do not understand this either

I prefer the thin cases sine it takes half the shelf space, that is why I got I Love Lucy all seasons in the thin cases last week even though the cover art is terrible

They better have a good explantion why Three's Company Season 7 and Seinfield Season 4 is not in the new cases

They could have still had some of the original Box sets left over when they got the new ones in.
