Yeah right. The sale won't probably be until Black Friday 2013.

Snicket · 07-24-2012, 03:57 PM

Season 4 was on sale last Black Friday. Have faith.

I love this show but Season 5 was a letdown IMO

Yes, but it was released in early 2011. You can't expect a BD to get released in late 2012 and then go on sale the next month.

Yes, you can. That is how it is most of the time anyways.

I'm guessing season 1-4 will be 7.99 each since they've gone down a buck each year.

2010: $10
2011: $9
2012: $8

and then season 5 will probably be one of the $19.99 titles down from the $40+ list price. OCtober launch price day will probably be $30-35

I've had this pre-ordered from Amazon for months now, so I'm obviously in day one.

Got to disagree. Each season just tops the last.

I still love the show and will buy this, but I've got to agree---to me, season 5 was significantly weaker than all the previous ones.

InMyTree · 07-25-2012, 02:24 AM

I come down somewhere in the middle...i loved season 5, but i'm not sure it topped the other seasons. Can't wait to own it though!

Doughoef · 07-25-2012, 02:31 AM

The season started off slow and i was wondering what happened to the writers, but then the last few episodes were really good, classic Mad Men. Im gonna wait for a Black Friday deal n this one.

BluLobsta · 07-25-2012, 11:56 AM

Cha-ching! Sold!

Monterey Jack · 07-25-2012, 01:07 PM

Season five was the best because it had the least amount of Betty Draper.

djgeneral · 07-25-2012, 04:53 PM

Something I never understood...why is the cast of Mad Men never involved in any special features? They are always documentaries about the period the show takes place in. Besides commentaries, I don't think there has ever been any supplement featuring the cast in any way.

No behind the scenes on the set, no interviews, nothing

Personally, I thought season 4 was more engaging....I rate it slightly above season 5.

Abaddon22 · 07-25-2012, 05:05 PM

Missed most of season 5 will be picking this up

Josh5890 · 07-25-2012, 05:45 PM

I'll pick it up when it hits $9.99.

Great season. Only two more seasons to go after this. Mad Men is in a class of its own.

Danchez · 07-25-2012, 06:12 PM

So in for this one.

"The Other Woman" is one of the best hours of television I've ever seen.
