Target 3.99 TV DVD Samplers (1 Viewer)

[Al (alweho)]

I don't know if this has been posted yet - but the local Target store has a bunch of single disc TV show "samplers" from WB box sets. They are priced at $3.99 each, come in a card like package, and have a $5 off coupon attached if you then choose to buy the box set the disc's content is taken from.

Among the titles offered (that I can remember off the top of my head) were:

Gilligan's Island (first two episodes)
The Waltons (first episode)
The Jetsons (what appears to be an episode from a later season)
The Flintstones (first episode)
Gilmore Girls (first episode)
Jonny Quest (an episode from the new adventures)
Kung Fu (first episode)

There may be one or two more.

Babylon 5 first episode also. (Didn't see them at Target, saw them at Newbury Comics).

Yup. I mentioned this the other day in the Target $5.50 DVD thread in Coupons/Deals.

Why would they provide episodes for later seasons for The Jetsons and Jonny Quest? That doesn't make much sense and is rather misleading to boot.

yOU AMERICANS ARE SO LUCKY. WE CANADIANS HAVE THOSE EVERYWHERE AND AT $6.99 EACH. AND THE COUPON IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE US.

At $3.99, you might as well buy it even if you know you're getting the season set for the $5 coupon. You'll save around 60 cents!

These sampler discs are available through any retailer, including Amazon.com. They are generally the first couple of episodes from a series, the pilot TV movie (if that's how the show was launched) or a couple of "strong" episodes for shows where continuity is less of an issue.
