Is the website "Loving the Classics" legit or not? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

darkrage6 · 08-17-2025, 06:48 PM

Hey i'm curious if anyone on here has ever bought anything off the gray market website "Loving the Classics"? Heard real mixed things about them, some positive and some negative. I ask because I see they have the rare 1990-1991 CBS sitcom "Lenny" for sale and i'm seriously tempted to buy it from there but before I take a chance on it i'm curious to know if anyone on here has ever dealt with them before and if so if you ever received anything you ordered from there. Cause i've heard stories of people ordering DVDs from there and never receiving them.

I e never personally ordered from them, but I’ve heard mixed reviews

Loving The Classics has a low customer rating of 1.5 stars, with many reviews highlighting issues like poor customer service and slow shipping.

So the general consensus is they will ship stuff out but it usually takes a while. Alright I guess i'll take a shot on those Lenny DVDs and expect the worst but hope for the best.

^Yeah I believe it takes a long time coming but often you do get it eventually. Good luck.

I asked them question about a specific DVD set but they never responded. I bought from them and they never listed the episode titles or numbers (there were only 9 episodes). Two of the episodes were repeats and they never stated this.

Good news I got a shipment notification and a tracking number today, that was way quicker then I thought it would be.

Loving The Classics has a DVD set of The Tom Ewell Show, sitcom from 1960-61. It's said to contain 29 of the 32 episodes. I don't know if the episodes are all complete or if some are edited/syndication versions. I had thought about ordering a set but haven't got around to it yet.
