It is a good day to buy.
I am – Hercules!!
It’s not a season set, but how do you not love Star Trek: Klingon
just a little?? Its omission from the Borg-ish Moriarty’s DVD column this week demonstrates that he has neither courage nor honor.
The line-up:
Broken Bow (T’Pol/Klaang)
Errand of Mercy (Spock/Kor)
The Trouble With Tribbles (Spock/Koloth)
A Matter of Honor (Picard/Worf)
Sins of the Father (Picard/Worf)
Redemption Part One (Picard/Worf)
Redemption Part Two (Picard/Worf)
Way of the Warrior (Sisco/Worf)
The Sword of Kahless (Kor/Worf)
Trials and Tribble-ations (Dax/Worf)
Barge of the Dead (B’elanna/Janeway)
“Seinfeld” with more Costanza and less Kramer. In Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Fifth Season, Larry David wants a good seat for the high holy days, he’s not excited about the sandwich which bears his name, he pisses off the lesbians, he buys a bra for his housekeeper, his father-in-law is way too into “Passion of the Christ,” he dishonors the son of a kamikaze, he questions the integrity of a nursing-home bingo tourney, he agrees to give Richard Lewis a kidney, he frets over Hefner’s smoking jacket, he sabotages a Seder, he suspects a Korean bookie when a dog goes missing, he thrills to learn he might have been adopted, and he dies. But this appears to be not the final season.
Herc’s Popular Pricing Pantry
The 1959-1964 Rod Serling/Richard Matheson “Twilight Zone” season sets, when purchased separately, carry elephantine price tags. Here’s how they retail on amazon.com as I type this:
$103.99 The Complete First Season
$79.99 The Complete Second Season
$79.99 The Complete Third Season
$89.99 The Complete Fourth Season
$79.99 The Complete Fifth Season
But they’re kinda worth those big dollars, and here’s why. These sets are so loaded with commentaries and other extras, they’re fun even for the many “Zone” fans who have seen every episode 11 times.
You can find our staggeringly lengthy insanely long rundown of extras for the Season Five set here.
Still. We’re not all Rockefellers. As good as “Twilight Zone” is, and as good as these “Twilight Zone” sets are, $430 for the series is not the kind of money everybody has lying around.
So here’s the supercool news. Amazon put all five seasons in a series set for just $209.99.
So I've already locked in that price via pre-order. Will it last till next week? Till tomorrow? Till morning? Those who remember what happened with the $129.99 complete "Buffy" Chosen series sets know reductions of this nature are not always the most permanent.
($209.99 for five seasons works out to $42 per season, geekster. Until just now you couldn’t buy these season-sets used for under $50!)
“Homicide: Life on the Street” is no “Twilight Zone,” but few will challenge the idea that “Homicide’s” complete series set (the one that just became available for pre-order) manifests another gigantor encheapening. Here’s how the “Homicide” sets retail now:
$55.99 The Complete First and Second Seasons
$79.99 The Complete Third Season
$89.99 The Complete Fourth Season
$89.99 The Complete Fifth Season
$89.99 The Complete Sixth Season
$89.99 The Complete Seventh Season
That all adds up to $496. But the complete Homicide: Life on the Street: The Complete Series can be ordered now for just $209.99! That works out to $30 per season.
Perhaps in celebration of the release of “Curb Your Enthusiam’s” fifth season, two of the earlier seasons have just come way down:
$21.99 The Complete First Season
$29.99 The Complete Second Season
$29.99 The Complete Third Season
$21.99 The Complete Fourth Season
$25.98 The Complete Fifth Season
