Real Ghostbusters Coming to DVD -- Completely!

Actually, since you have the option of getting the first two seasons of Get Smart outside of the set, I can't imagine they would only offer RGB in its 'complete series' set. Even if that wasn't a reason, they'd be idiots to make this the only way to get the show as they'd miss hundreds or more potential sales. So, all the individual volumes may not be available right away, but I'll bet they will be eventually.

Hah. If they have induvidual volumes, I WILL order these from them. Of course, I could wind up changing my tune and buying the whole set anyway. That is if one of the job offers I've been getting would actually hire me.

I'm still wondering about why Get Smart hasn't gone through the same treatment as Beavis and Butt-Head, The Muppet Show, and Fat Albert, and getting a secondary license to release these in stores. The Columbia/Sony released Muppet show disks were basically just rereleased Time Life best ofs anyway... B&B and Fat Albert were both released in volumes though.

This is fantastic news,I had tears in my eyes reading the article.

Im glad theres not gonna be season-by-season sets,it would take to long to get all of them.

Dr. Tooth,I can understand that you would like season-by-season sets because of the high price but this is much better because even if someone cant afford it right away then they can save up and have the whole series in one purchase...besides,this doesnt release til fall so theres time for people to save up for it.

As far as the "done in one" approach goes, I can totally understand the hesitations people are having.

However, I look at it this way: how long has it taken us to get the first six seasons of the old TMNT toon from Lions Gate? How many years? And there are still four more seasons to go. How many years will it take us to get those? Will they even finish?

With a complete series set, expensive as it may be, we get the instant gratification of having the whole series at once instead of spread over five years AND we get the comfort of knowing that all the episodes will be released and we won't be left hanging ala Gargoyles or GI Joe.

Add to that the fact that you'd probably be spending MORE money buying each individual season set than if you just bought the complete series set, and I see more positives to this approach than negatives.

Since we have an idea of when the set is coming out (and its gonna be a while), we have plenty of time to start saving. So even if the set is $200 bucks, if we start saving now we should be able to afford it by release time.

Thats very true,I had forgotten about that.Season sets usually cost $30.

I wanna get all of the "Friends" DVDs,The Complete Series is $180 on Amazon but buying the seprate box sets would cost around $300...plus Complete series usuually come with nice bonus stuff like collector tins what-not.
