I'm really enjoying my set too. Me and the kids (along with the wife when she's not doing something else) have been steamrolling through these discs since Thursday at about noon when my B&N package arrived. I started with the first S6 disc just for the heck of it, but then I forced myself to...

Yes, the band and dancing above means my set arrived this morning! First off, no floaters. Not even close. Everything is very secure and the set as a whole is very nice and neat. I can't see how this wouldn't get my vote as "Set of the Year" even though we are only halfway thru 2010. It's...

Quote: So is mine, and since I live in westcentral Florida I'm sure mine won't be here till either Thursday (if I'm lucky) or Friday. But it's all good. On the plus side my mail is always delivered around 11:30 AM so I'll be able to start enjoying the set early Friday afternoon...

Glory be! My order has shipped! Coming via Priority Mail I should have it either Thursday or Friday at the latest. Gary "I take back what I said about B&N - but I'm glad I called to give them a nudge" O.

OK, I just called B&N (since I am a member and give them extra money to be one I figured it was alright to bug them) and the guy I spoke to told me he put an order into the computer to intercept one of the packages already shipped and it would be diverted to my address instead. In...

OK, now I'm starting to feel like Wally after Eddie and Lumpy pulled one of their practical jokes. Gary "if B&N doesn't ship my order today they will lose me as a customer forever" O.

Quote: Well, I know you placed your order after I did so I'm left scratching my head as to why my order has yet to ship. I really hope I get an email confirmation of shipping sometime soon and don't have to wait too long. Gary "boy, this is crazy" O.

Uh-oh. My order, placed on June 5th, has still not shipped and now B&N.com is showing the set as being "temporarily out of stock" along with the added comments that it will not be available again until July 2nd. While I think it's possible my order still might get shipped today (hoping it's in...

Quote: I wouldn't sweat it. Mine still says that too. If it still says that late tonight and/or you haven't gotten an email saying it's shipped, then I'd start getting frustrated and perhaps a tad worried they didn't have enough sets onhand to fill all their orders. Gary "that's the...

About the only time I even think about b/w shows looking "too good" due to them being remastered is when I see the strings on the Seaview or something similar. In all seriousness, I have to say I'll take cleaned up prints pretty much every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Gary...

You guys are likely going through the Access B&N site, or the Library site, both of which give additional discounts. And I'm guessing both of you are lucky enough to live in a state that B&N does NOT charge sales tax for. Unfortunately, because I live in Florida, I get the sales tax addition...

Shane beat me to the punch. While I'm sure the Lucy Show S2 will be very, very nice - the fact is it's only going to be a one season release whereas the LITB Shout release will be a COMPLETE set with all the seasons remastered and an entire disc of extras. There's really no comparison in my...

Well, we are only a few weeks away from the Season 3 set, and only about a month away from the Complete set (that's the one I'll be getting). I'm excited about this set in a big way! I'd say it's probably going to be the biggest and best release of 2010 in terms of Vintage TV. Can't think of...

Quote: Wow! I go out of town for a few days and come back to see my name getting dragged through the proverbial mud because of a very minor, simple thing. Let's clear this silliness up once and for all. When I wrote about LITB "averaging" 39 episodes per season it was NOT because I was...

First off, thanks to Kipp for that excellent site! Great pictures that bring back a lot of memories. Secondly, I'm with Brad and Mike on the casing. I prefer inserts to putting the episode titles/descriptions on the back of the cover where both dvds and hubs can get in the way of reading...

Quote: I can certainly identify with unopened dvd sets. I had a very busy 4th quarter last year and I've had an ultra busy first quarter this year, work wise, and it's put me way behind on my dvd viewing (among other things). I think I see light at the end of the tunnel after March, but that...

Quote: Very well stated, Walker. I'm in full agreement with your assessment of the situation. And I am thrilled to be getting one of my "holy grail" shows released in a complete set, especially considering this series seemed completely dead a month ago at this time. It's been great news...

Quote: Thanks Jeff. I'll look forward to that call. And I'm confident we will not see another "Fugitive" fiasco. Boy, your right about the "good old days" of '07 and '08 when we were seeing a lot more truly classic material coming out from a variety of studios/companies. We are definitely...

Quote: Actually, the ultra low cost of this set is what pushed me to pre-order without hesitation. We are only looking at an average of $24 per season, containing 39 episodes per season, with the Amazon price right now! That's incredibly low, not "costly", when you compare it to other sets...

I'll be glad to be the guinea pig this time around because, to be honest, I'd buy this set even if a few of the episodes were time-compressed or cut episodes. Normally that's something I'd really bristle at, but this is a holy grail show for me and I wouldn't pass it up even if it did have a...

Well, I guess the one good thing about being a pessimist is that it makes it much harder to be disappointed. Gary "I understand the hesitation, but I honestly do think this one is gonna be alright" O.

Brian Ward's latest post at Shout says the following: So it looks like this answers our concerns. I believe we are in good shape and I'd encourage people to pre-order if they are able. Gary "glad Brian checked out those running times" O.

Quote: I imagine if someone wants to wait several months until after the release date the set will eventually go on some type of mega-sale at one of the etailers for around 50% off, which would translate to $99.99. Looking for it to drop below that might be a somewhat longer wait. Eventually...

We've got a pre-order price now on the Complete set from Amazon. Are you ready for this? Only $139.99!!! The reason for such a low figure is that the suggested retail price is only $199.99. That's much, much lower than I ever would have imagined. I went ahead and locked that in. Gary "I...

Quote: Ah, got it. Shows how long it's been since I've watched those. I remember burning through all the discs when they first came out, but I haven't revisited them since primarily because I hate dealing with double-sided discs. Gary "can't wait to see the later seasons in pristine...

I remember the outside shots looking grainy, but I thought the inside ones were acceptable. Not great, but not bad either. Regardless, Brian Ward seems to think these prints are going to look fabulous so I'm going to gladly double-dip on one of my holy grail shows. Gary "keep up the great...

Quote: Wow, that's such a tough call. Both shows were great in that respect, Joe. Heck, I think both shows had great casts. Let me put it this way - choosing between those two shows, for me, would take the wisdom of Solomon. If Shout can get both series completed they will be tops in my...
