Shawna Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I wanted to buy that collection for my mom for her birthday. Her all-time favorite. Last I looked, it was about $500. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I hear ya ,Shawna .I looked it up on Amazon and the best offer they have is $150.00 for a few episodes each from over the 11 seasons (even 2-$300 bucks , tops, I would pay were they complete ) . That would not be at all bad if it was for a complete seasons set , as I must confess that these shows aren't cutting edge in comedy/entertainment anymore , nor would get a large production as the fan base may be limited .Rather , nostalgia -as well as good performances-make up the majority of the enjoyment , but as it isn't 'fresh' and we can't be young again (or in the times ) does limit their impact . Apparently Carol doesn't own the rights to the releases anymore , so they are nickle and diming people til the time comes to put out a decent set at a fair price . Paying way too much for such sets has been a disappointment for me in some cases for the same reasons: Hogan's Heroes ( same plot nearly every episode ) , All in the Family, Gunsmoke , Twilight Zone , Bonanza . That's not to say there aren't stand-out episodes , but for the majority ,it gets kinda down to a scene or line or two per episode, at best . Only Rocky and Bullwinkle still seem to really cut me up with sincere , timeless , laughs now ,oddly . Hence , let's pinch video cuts out there and 'stick it to the Man ' ! lol Here's a 'Tudball and Wiggans ' . Edited March 17, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 This is now on sale - I've gotten 2 of the box sets - one for us and one for my mom for Christmas (shhhh). They were almost $200 apiece, and well worth it from what I've been able to watch so far - which is only about 3-4 episodes (I haven't had much TV watching time...)
