I think these will eventually be discounted to anywhere between $50 to $70 over time. Star Trek TNG earlier seasons are currently discounted to $50 on Amazon with the same list price.TravisR said:$90 seems pretty reasonable for one season. It's 1999, right?
Seriously though, I'm sure/hoping that's the MSRP and the price will come to down to approximately $60.
Shot on 35MM film, they look fantastic! All eight seasons of TAGS is available for streaming in HD on Netflix.hypnohighball said:How much better can these really look and does it really matter for a character and script-based old b&w tv show? I mean really!
I hear you. I did upgrade Twilight Zone, Star Treks, and I did splurge on Dick Van Dyke during a sale. I also have picked up some more recent shows on Blu-ray when the price difference between DVD and Blu-ray was not great. When it comes to the 50's and 60's shows most of us have already picked up what we wanted on DVD, at least for ones with the biggest chance to get put out on Blu-ray.hypnohighball said:You know, sometimes you simply have to say "enough - I'm satisfied with what I have". I have all the seasons I want on dvd, and haven't even got around to watching them yet as I have so much to get around to.

I never bought the Gomer Pyle series on dvd because of the reviews on Amazon that said there was alot of "cutting" of some of the singing by Jim Nabors. Same reason I never bought The Odd Couple sets. If either of these shows come to Blu-Ray (and I certainly hope they do) CBS should restore all the editing that was done with regards to music.Ron1973 said:Andy would be one of the few shows that would convince me to upgrade to a BD player. It's always been a favorite. Maybe CBS will do Gomer Pyle on BD next?
The Fugitive would seem like a no-brainer for BD release to me!Walsh61 said:I hope The Fugitive and McHale's Navy make it some day as well!
For me, hopefully Hogan's Heroes. It was a very well shot show, one camera movie-style, which would look great on BD.Jeff*H said:It seems that CBS DVD's blu-ray series release pattern is somewhat mirroring their original DVD release slate, starting off with Honeymooners, Andy Griffith and I Love Lucy. This bodes well, if sales are good for these, for other shows they released on DVD early on, including MacGyver, Brady Bunch, Cheers and others.
Those edits soured me on buying Gomer Pyle, Odd Couple and Cheers (except season 1). I can only hope the money from these $90 sets is going towards music licensing this time. I'd love to have Lucy and Andy in Blu-ray, but it's getting harder and harder to justify paying those prices.Walsh61 said:I never bought the Gomer Pyle series on dvd because of the reviews on Amazon that said there was alot of "cutting" of some of the singing by Jim Nabors.
