I rent most everything now, but after having seen Arrested Development, I had to support the makers by buying the sets. It was that good.
I'd buy Carnivale, too, if it were closer to $20 than $100.

I got Home Improvement Season 6 today. Even though I don't have any of the other seasons. But I figured at only $16, it was a good time to start getting the series. Even if I do have to back track now. :lol

Playboy After Dark - Part 2
the video quality is rather iffy, but the performances are great and the audio track isn't messed up.
There are a lot of famous celebrities on those old variety shows, but wasn't the first Playboy After Dark from 1959-1960 shot on black & white videotape? The 1969-1970 version was on color tape. I'd expect the images to be be very sharp even for back then. Strange why Hefner waited so many years to put these out on DVD.

Glad to see more Muppet Show. I'll be real happy when they finish it and Fraggle Rock up. I really want those 2 shows badly.
I haven't purchased anything. I have to admire everybody elses at this time. :)
And, there's nothing wrong with waiting either...you often get all of these sets at cheaper prices. :)

I find most of my "Action" in the Bargain Bins. I spend about the same each month on DVDs as I used to spend on Cable. (I got fed up with the Quality of the shows being offered on TV as well as the proliferation of Commercials and Cancelled my Subscription with them in January.) There are several advantages of buying a show on DVD. 1. No Commercials, Promos or newsbreaks. 2. No Timetable, If the Phone Rings or someone Visits, no problem! Just Pause and resume. 3. No Monthly Fee (There is the Price of Purchasing but as I said earlier this is about the same as their Subscription Fee) My favorate Advantage, After watching the show, YOU GET TO KEEP IT!:D

Hey! How did my clone get out of the shipping carton? :D
I could've typed that in myself Regulus. I only have an outdoor antenna. Can't imagine needing more than that. I could spend up to $75 a month on DVD movies and shows and feel much better about what I'm getting for my money. Due to deepdiscount's sales I've spent out for this year tough. :)

Oh, I agree with you completely, Regulus. Now thanks to Cr*ppy Broadcasting System, I've only two shows that I'm interested in watching next year on television...``Heroes'' and ``Lost,'' plus the assorted summer series on USA and Sci-Fi like ``The 4400,'' ``The Dead Zone,'' and ``Eureka.'' I very much enjoy the TV-on-DVD format. To wit, my growing collection.

Yes, I am, but I often buy DVDs in their first run, as evidenced by all my pre-orders. Here's another one: Just pre-ordered ``8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter'' S1 today.

I've heard "Good Things" about Heroes so I intend to get it when it comes out on DVD. I'll probably wait until "Black Friday" before I get it, as someone may have it as one of their "Loss Leaders", which is why we tolerate the insanity that is the day after Thanksgiving!:D

That's perfectly understandable. I plan on pre-ordering it once it becomes available on Amazon, and ``Dresden Files,'' ``Jericho,'' and seasons 3 of ``Lost'' and ``Grey's Anatomy'' and so on... :)
