Six Feet Under Complete Series DVD $60 Sun Jan 25 only!

[assydingo]

I've only see the first season and a half but... wow. This show is incredibly unique. I'd never seen a black comedy/drama and there's nothing like it. I mean this is a very good way.

One thing I will say though... it's a very heavy show. You'll laugh a lot but it's rarely if ever light-hearted.

I picked up Season 1 on a whim, when I saw it on sale at BestBuy back in the summer. I got hooked right away, finishing that up in probably 1 week or so. Season 2 is probably the worst of the 5, but I think the show from mid-Season 3 until the finale of Season 5 is some of the best TV in history.

I think I'll go ahead and pick up the set while it's this cheap, because I know I want to watch it all again someday, I just don't know when. At least the packaging is great, and will be nice to look at for the time being.

Sometimes it's nice to get back to the old shows.

Joss Whedon is the heart of why I love television so I'm re-watching Angel and Buffy. At first it feels like, "Why I am watching this when I know what happens?" Pretty soon you're just as enraptured with the characters and story as the first time.

This is the first DVD I've bought in over 2 1/2 years. It'll be a birthday gift for my mother but I still feel dirty thinking about SDVD. Thanks for the heads up on the sale.

Yeah. I think so much of the show was so well written that it's easy to give each episode a second or third viewing, just to get everything out of them.

I've thought about reading this book, but I'm a bit disappointed that it was published before the final season aired, so I know it doesn't cover the entire series.

I bit on this deal. Too good to pass up! I haven't even seen a single episode, but with such high praise from viewers and critics alike, I couldn't not purchase it at this price. It's not blu-ray, but I figured it would look good enough up-scaled to suit my needs.

+1!

A friend of mine mentioned the sale to me a few hours ago. Price sounded too good to pass up. Don't know if I'll like it but if I don't I can always sell it and get back what I paid for it. Don't really know much of anything about the series other than Michael C Hall is in it and there's a funeral home.

Oh I got a book sort of like that. It's about Buffy and Angel and anylzes them in the light of psychology. Stuff like that is super interesting and makes you value the show a lot more.

It also gives you more appreciation for writers. A lot of them are underrated and underpaid =/.

Here comes a bump.

I ordered the box set back during the end of January as a gift, when it was on sale for $60. Now, according to Amazon, I can expect it to arrive in mid-March. So, yes, almost 2 months for it to arrive (assuming it's not delayed even longer).

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, assuming a ton of people ordered it for that price, and they're having a problem filling the orders.

However...

Amazon currently is not listing it as out of stock, and has the price back up to $170, or something around there. I'm assuming anyone buying it at that price will probably get their copy before mid-March (otherwise they'd be a bit peeved), and Amazon is slowly filling in the $60 orders from late January.

If they didn't want to commit a ton of copies to the $60 price, they should've a) not listed it that cheaply, or b) not listed it that cheaply long enough for a lot of people to order it.

Has anyone that has ordered the box set for $60 received their's yet?

toefer,
Wow that sucks. Makes you wish you could send the Ultimate Warrior on their ass, eh?

Talking about Six Feet Under, I think this is maybe the best TV show ever made. I just started season 4 and I can guess this will not finish with an happy ending. Alan Ball nailed this one. On this Earth, no one is perfect.

I ordered it and got mine I think about a week and a half ago. I chose the free shipping and everything and still got it that quick. Not sure why you are getting it so late.
