What is up with DVD TV shows prices?

[LogicDonny]

I am talking about popular ones like the star trek ones.

It's so expensive to buy the star trek dvds. I haven't even begun buying them but I want to start with The Next Generation, DS9, Voyager and possibly Enterprise. I wont get TOS until they release the new ones the ones they are showing right now on CW11.

I mean they don't even have alot of the complete shows in 1 big boxset like they do with Andromeda or Buffy.

Not even Na get's a big boxset of the entire babylon 5 show.. still in seperate..

I think Star Trek is so expensive because sooo many actors have to get royalties. But that's just a guess. TOS, TNG, and DS9 are all around $50/season now, though, so that's not too shabby. I made the point of buying the TOS sets before they replaced them with the new versions. I haven't even seen the new ones, but for me it's all about being original. I hope Voyager comes down soon; I really want to watch through all of those.

Yeah, they can be.

So far I've gotten most of Next Generation (getting them at Wal-Mart, where they had come down a little in price - to about $55).

But still waiting on Voyager (see some Sets at a Best Buy I go to sometimes, where they're still around $100).

Plan to get the other series over time as well. Though those are the main 2 for me currently.

It's mark up really. We get 5% discount off the stock price so most sets are 10 bucks cheaper for us. And I'm sure the ones like Friends that are 200 dollars are even lower.

the new remasted TOS is pretty cool. They still have all the stuff from the original version but the new version has the ships and stuff in cgi all teh actors and dialogue is the same.

Check cw11 for the show. It's on at 6pm PST.

Anyways Voyager is worth watching.. there will be episodes that are crap but alot of the episode are excellent. the borg episodes and q episodes are a bunch of favorites.

Yeah, I know it's just the ships that are different. But I still prefer it to be all old school.

I don't know what cw11 is, but it's not national. I think they're on around midnight here.

Yes, I really enjoy Voyager. It's not as bad as the bad reputation it carries.

Well, you could always join a dvd club. I'm with Columbia House's tv dvd club, and they will have some big sales once in a while. I just bought Invasion for 25, when it's normaly 50 or sixty bucks, and not too long ago, I got my X Files where you buy one, get one free and get another at half off. So it's something to think about.

The cw11 is the new WB network.. what channel did you have UPN11 on?

Also voyager is my 3rd favorite star trek show.
