Deepdiscountdvd.com last week had their (so far) annual 20% off sale–off the already discounted prices they normally sell stuff for. It’s a good time to buy box sets and stuff, and today I recieved part of my order, which probably would have been bigger but I’m closer to being broke than I like.
Today I got:
The Twilight Zone Definative Edition Season 3. I haven’t even had a chance to crack open the first two sets, but it’s hard to pass these up. The season 3 set features 37 (!) episodes, including numerous classics: It’s a Good Life. The Grave, Kick the Can, To Serve Man, Little Girl Lost, etc. The Definative series features supposedly gorgeous new transfers, and tons of extras. Billy Mumy, for instance, provides commentaries for both It’s a Good Life and the 2002 sequel (from the short-lived UPN update series) It’s Still a Good Life. There’s a lot more stuff too,
Next I got the 4th Volume of SCTV. This features the 90 minute shows after a bunch of the cast–Dave Thomas, Catherine O’Hara, Rick Moranis–had left. I was therefore going to skip buying this set and watch it via Netflix, but once I did so I realized some of the show’s best comedy was still on this set. In any case, while I still might forego the next set (until the earlier stuff starts coming out), this is all gold.
Finally, 42nd Street Forever is a collection of exploitation and monster movie trailers, two hours worth. These range from porn films to gore movies to Superfuzz and Green Slime. Great stuff.
So…now all I need is about 40 hours to watch all this stuff, sixty if I do all the extras.
