Today’s DVD Bargains…

The Champions, a ’60s British TV series about a team of people with super-abilities, is available in a box set from A&E, rather steeply list-priced at $100. However, Deepdiscount.dvd is now selling it at 49% off, at $51.

That is, in fact, just one of numerous wonderful TV season sets they are selling at that generous discount, or even higher–check out the X-Files sets, a whopping 64% off (However, if you’re going to buy Danger Man–and it’s a great show–I’d suggest buying the Mega Set, available at the same site, which is a much better bargain):

  • A&E always seems expensive for what they do. (Two episodes of The Prisoner per DVD? When Fox manages to get four on a disk?)

    Alas, they’re the only ones doing it. You want Monty Python or The Prisoner, you gotta go to them.

  • Meanwhile, as soon as I get my Amazon affiliate gift certificate, I’m SO getting season one of Highway to Heaven.

  • A&E’s worse habit has been to overcharge for individual small sets and then release the sets in one big package for a much smaller price than the cumulative ones. That’s why I’d suggest getting the mega-set for Danger Man rather than the smaller sub-sets.

    Still, there are some good deals here, including the Homicide Seasons 1-4 set and the sorely missed Nero Wolfe program collections.
