). So that indicates a decent-sized interest in this great TV series, I'd say. ....

Let me understand this correctly . . . . . a 40 year-old, black & white, hour long drama that's having just the first half of its first season released on DVD 3 MONTHS FROM NOW is ranked at #102 in DVD sales at Amazon? This is absolutely fantastic news and just goes to show you that good story telling and acting never go out of style. I hope that sales go through the roof on this one!

That's just about the size of the situation as she exists at the current moment...yes sir. You understand correctly indeed.

It's dropped to #120 as of this exact moment on 05/09/07. But I expect it to rise to #78 by 6:55 PM PDT Thursday.

Sorry about that, David. Yes, the ranking for the show on Amazon is indeed impressive and it indicates to me that fans are well on top of things this early in the game considering the more than 3 months wait. I see that there are already 3 reviews, one of which indicated that it had reached #89 at one point. When one considers that the average person is more likely to purchase much closer to release date when the B&M stores announce their prices, this is all a very strong indication that the fan base is very much alive for "The Fugitive".

How well did The Fugitive sell on VHS in the 1990s?
It couldn't have done too badly, with 1/3 of the series being released on tape.

Sometimes it's really uncanny how you guys think just like I do. Yesterday I went to Amazon.com to officially place my order for THE FUGITIVE and I noticed the high sales ranking as well. I thought to myself, "I need to post these numbers on HTF so the folks know it's doing great and it's still three months away from release." And lo and behold, I see someone did just that! This bodes very well for the rest of the series, which I hope Paramount will fast-track.

Gary "as of 2:30 pm today it's up to #52 in the rankings" O.

Well, you don't, Gary, because I'm not ordering The Fugitive until the beginning of August and I always order from DeepDiscount.com....not from Amazon.

DeepDiscount's price (currently) is $29 for Fuge-1-1, while Amazon has it for $26.99.

Current Amazon rank = #57.

Old habits, as DeepDiscount already has my profile and credit card info. Will Amazon keep it at $26.99 by August? And do they have free shipping as DD does? Those will be the deciding factors for me.

It doesn't matter. Because you're locked in to the lowest pre-order price when you pre-order any DVD from Amazon. And if the price should drop before the release date, you'll automatically get the lowest price, per their fairly-new Pre-Order Pricing Policy.....

And take note of Amazon's Post-Release Price Guarantee too. If the price drops within 30 days AFTER purchasing, you can get the difference refunded.

Yep. On anything over $25.

Plus, you can manage/edit/cancel your orders online...unlike DD.

The best of all pre-order worlds, IMO.
