they draw from never anticipated that pre-orders would fly it off the
shelf the way it did ... even Best Buy sold out in less than a week.
That's really impressive.

I gave up and bought it on ebay when EVERY etailer I went to was sold out of it. Having never seen it before, I Netflixed it first to make sure I would like it before buying. Then when I loved it and decided to buy, it was no where to be found!
I got it for $28 which included first class shipping so I really can't complain. That's cheaper than anywhere else. I was just floored that it sold out at that many different places in such a short period of time.
I wonder if Mission Impossible Season 1 would have had similar results had it gotten the same exposure as Hawaii Five-O. It was like going on a treasure hunt to find it in the B&M stores this past December.
For those of you who were around when these first aired , were they comparable in popularity when they originally ran?
