Will any infomercial be available on DVD? (1 Viewer)

[Pete Battista]

I actually have a 2 disc set of classic commercials! the quality sucks big time and I wouldn't suggest anyone else to get it... but it does exist!

And yes this does cover decades of commercials... just wish the quality was better!

I'll tell you what to do with the idea of infomercials on DVD...

...Set It and Forget It!

...and you can buy these DVD's with 4 easy payments of $9.99!

Lauren Hutton in 1970 was hot. The Lauren Hutton of recent years is a different person.

I don't like the ideas of informercials on DVD. A lot of those people have made so much money from when those 1/2 hour ads were on TV, they don't deserve any additional revenue from the same products now.

But didn't Miss Cleo end up in jail for her ads? She suffered for her art!

Don't forget to wait 1-2 months for shipping!

But aren't infomercials advertisements? If the product is still available, can they really get away with selling infomercials? They are classified as promotional ads and can expense them that way. If they sell then as DVDs, then they can't classify them as expense but as a selling product itself. Maybe if the product is long gone, someone can compile a series of them, but who would pay for it (as a seller and as a buyer?)

The Bally's Fitness ads in the early 90's were great!
That actress that hosted them was cute!
The ones with Heather Locklear and Sheena Easton rocked too!

I have seen the RonCo ones HUNDREDS of times. Maybe not hundreds, but a lot. His stuff is so extensive, I hate the new ones out though.

Sami, most products, especially exericise equipment have a DVD or most likely VHS tape available to watch before you buy.

I've gotten:

Bowflex
A hovercraft (friggin' sweet)

Oh, and the Time Life and Music Space comp's are awesome... I can usually predict what song is coming up next.

Hope it helps.

Yeah, I even posted a link to the Bowflex Treadclimber (in reply #4). Maybe the link was too small to see:
