Few questions about AITF VHS and DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ecclesiii · 08-24-2003, 06:10 PM

A long while back I subscribed through Columbia House and eventually recieved all of the videos of AITF. Later when DVD's became more popular the seasons are starting to come out. The biggest question I have is.... were all the VHS's available contain every episode of AITF? I viewed all of my VHS's only a few times(30+ VHS's in Total) but it seems like the 1st and 2nd series already contain episodes that I never had on VHS. I thought that I had all of the episodes when I subscribed to Columbia House? I know it will be a long time if at all before all of the seasons are available on DVD. I really love AITF. But not having all the episodes really bother me knowing that I paid over $25 a cassette back then. That's over $750! Does Columbia House offer them on DVD now? If so... will they contain all of the episodes? My collection takes up A LOT OF ROOM. Any suggestions as to where you keep them if you have them all? Obvisiously DVD's are much more compact and easy to store. I looked throughout this forum and see that most people that are on here, never mentioned anything about the having the full collection. Is there a reason why people don't have them all or talk aout them? If I was to sell the VHS's is there any place to list them other than Ebay that would be more effective for selling them? I am not sure that I even want to sell them but if I can get a portion of that money back, I'd definitely pick up the DVD's if they are worth it. I do have both 1st and 2nd seasons on DVD already and plan to buy them as they come out on. One last question... does anyone know for sure if all the seasons will be available at one point, or is it just hope one season at a time? Oh ,sorry for the rambling but I was so happy to find a AITF forum but does anyone know if there is a VHS or DVD that has all of the Christmas episodes on them? Thank you in advance for any of the info you have and thank whoever thought of this wonderful forum!!! You are also welcome to email me if you chose not to post here... for whatever reason.

Columbia House does not have all of the AITF episodes on VHS. They have a good chunk, but there are missing quite a few. There are 35 tapes in all (I won them on Ebay) and yes, they do take up a lot of room (covering two shelves for me). Columbia House (I saw on their website) now has the same "Collector's Edition" on DVD. I think it's the same as the video tapes. But if the other DVDs come out (the First and Second seasons are already out) and they continue, then eventually all of the AITF episodes will be on DVD. I guess, for now, you'll have to tape the episodes that aren't in the Collector's Edition off of TV (which is what I did). Hope this helps.
