Would you buy the DVD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

sinatrastar · 11-10-2003, 07:57 PM

If the DVD came out would you buy it? I have a DVD player but I actually do not own 1 DVD and really dont buy much in the way of movies, music etc. I am assuming they would come out with 1 season at a time, but I dont know if thats how they normally do it or not. I think I would have a hard time spending the $60 (??) bucks on a DVD of the first/second season, maybe for the later ones I would. Its on all the time so this plays into my choice, plus I guess I am really cheap.

What do yall think.

You know I would! Been waiting....

I have mentioned before, I own VERY few disks (I have maybe six + ones I've worked on), but I would get these, no doubt. I will get them the day they come out an prob never watch a another syndicated version again.

And roger that on the cheapness thing ("maybe it is a sense"), but I'd crack & fork out the hard earned....

I think I've made my point

I would. It would be a nice series to own. It would also be nice to have the entire episode, without any editing.

I would buy it simply for the DVD extras.

The unedited versions would be huge.

I'd love to see the episode with the first Frank Costanza.

With Seinfeld I think there is little doubt they will release the first 2 seasons together. Season 1 was only 5 episodes and not very popular at that.

A 2 season set would bring it to a total of 17 episodes- still less than one normal sitcom season.

I expect the MSRP to be around $30 or so meaning you can probably get it for $25.

We'll see I guess.

At that price I would get it. I want to see the original Kramer, he was great

dlemond · 11-11-2003, 12:57 PM

The thing that drives the price up is usually extras.

I picked up Soap Seaon 1- which has 25 episodes - for only $19.99 at Costco.
But there are no extras.

If there happens to be a lot of commentary and extra features expect the price to jump according to how much time and money they put into it.
