At Last! The 1948 Show!

For those who don't know what the subject represents, it's some of John Cleese and Graham Chapman's earliest televised work for the BBC.

It is also now available on DVD.

As is Do Not Adjust Your Set, which features the early work of Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam.

Do you see where this is heading?

DVD Deluge!

In case you didn't know, a lot of Sam Goody's music stores are in their death throes, I believe they have about three weeks until they close for good. This includes a number of Suncoast stores, the parent company filed bankruptcy in January and was bought out in February. Well, me wife and me were at the mall in Las Cruces today and unfortunately walked by it. All DVDs, well, everything in the store, was a minimum 50% off tagged price.

They had six racks of DVDs.

They'd been pretty well picked over, but since my wife and I have such eclectic taste in flics, it wasn't difficult to spend $100. Oh, and movies were 60% off if you bought four or more.

We ended up with:
Benny Hill, Complete and Unadulterated, Set 1, '69-71 (9 hrs, 10 minutes+)
Benny Hill, The Lost Years (2.5 hrs+)
Chef! Series 1 (205 minutes)
The Fifth Element Ultimate Edition (2 hrs)
Moonlighting Seasons 1 & 2 (20 hrs)
Remington Steele Season 1 (1078 minutes)
At Last the 1948 Show (172 minutes)

That's 58 HOURS of material!

For $100!

Russet spotted Chef and Remington Steele, I was absolutely amazed to find the 1948 show. For those not in the know, that program is some of John Cleese and Graham Chapman's first work on television. It predates Monty Python and also features Marty Feldman and is produced by David Frost! And I had absolutely no idea that it existed on DVD.

This deserves a big

SQUEE!

They also had A LOT of anime, including Samurai 7 and Steam Boy, they also had the deluxe Steam Boy boxed set. I could have easily spent another C note, but what we got was a darn good collection for the price.

SO, if you have a Sam Goody near you and like DVD, GO! Do not stop, do not collect $200 (unless it's from the ATM machine), just GO! Spend time patiently going through the racks and you might find some good stuff. I'm not going to bother talking about anything else that they have as selection per store is going to vary wildly. And obviously it's possible that the Goody or Suncoast near you might not be closing, so good luck and good hunting!


Like we have time to watch all this! We just started watching SG:1 at season 1, episode 1. And we have four seasons of it!
