I got them ALL from Columbia house. I am a Columbia house JUNKIE, especially since they had a sale, buy one, get UNLIMITED for 60% off. I ended up buying 54 DVD'S :eek: Man, CT4 I JUST asked Columbia house if they had THE LION KING and they told me it will be coming out soon. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP:) :D

Girl, you are a fool for those 54 DVDs!!

I would buy:

A Different World

Different World


Living Single

I purchased Season One of Sanford and Son

I'd like to purchase:
the rest of Sanford and Son
Good Times

Who could forget this exchange between Julia Sugarbaker and a beauty queen who thought just a little too much of herself:

JULIA: Excuse me, aren't you Marjorie Leigh Winnick, the current Miss Georgia World?

MARJORIE: Why, yes I am.

JULIA: I'm Julia Sugarbaker, Suzanne Sugarbaker's sister. I couldn't help over hearing part of your conversation.

MARJORIE: Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone was here.

JULIA: Yes, and I gather from your comments there are a couple of other things you don't know, Marjorie. For example, you probably didn't know that Suzanne was the only contestant in Georgia pageant history to sweep every category except congeniality, and that is not something the women in my family aspire to anyway. Or that when she walked down the runway in her swimsuit, five contestants quit on the spot. Or that when she emerged from the isolation booth to answer the question, "What would you do to prevent war?" she spoke so eloquently of patriotism, battlefields and diamond tiaras, grown men wept. And you probably didn't know, Marjorie, that Suzanne was not just any Miss Georgia, she was the Miss Georgia. She didn't twirl just a baton, that baton was on fire. And when she threw that baton into the air, it flew higher, further, faster than any baton has ever flown before, hitting a transformer and showering the darkened arena with sparks! And when it finally did come down, Marjorie, my sister caught that baton, and 12,000 people jumped to their feet for sixteen and one-half minutes of uninterrupted thunderous ovation, as flames illuminated her tear-stained face! And that, Marjorie --- just so you will know --- and your children will someday know --- is the night the lights went out in Georgia!

I also want to get "Roots". Gotta have "Roots"

FYI: 1st Season of What's Happening on DVD was released on 2.3.04

Amazon has it for 4 $20.96. I want to buy that and the first 2 seasons of Good Times as my present to myself.

I have the 1st season of Good Times and will be picking up the second season(thanks CT4 for letting us know it is out). I searched on Amazon and I saw that the 2nd season has the episode where the Evans thought their neighbor was eating dog food and she brought them that meatloaf(that is by far one of the funniest episodes:D :D :D ) I might get the What's Happening DVD. Some DVD's I would love (some may or may not be out) are:

Golden Girls- probably one of the funniest shows EVER
227
Living Single- at least the first 3 seasons
Martin- all season except the one without Gina
South Central(whatever episodes they have)
Charmed- don't know why but I like this show
New York Undercover- I was so glad when they killed off the Puerto Rican guy( I hated his acting)
Married With Children
Amen

Yeah I watch waaaaaayyy too much TV:D

While GC was down yesterday, I discovered that Walmart.com has both seasons of Good Times for $19.88:cool:

gosh...this is so weird...i swear this morning while getting ready for work, i was thinking how great it would be to get all of the martin episodes on dvd.......

What would I buy
 

I would buy:

Living Single
Different World
Golden Girls

I would buy....
 

Mama's Family

Night Court (only seasons 3 through 6--seasons 1 & 2 were kinda bland, and seasons 7 through 9 the show tanked after exec. producer Reinhold Weege left the series)

Small Wonder

Punky Brewster (only the NBC years--I didn't care for the syndicated years--1987-88)

WKRP--Gotta see that "turkey drop" episode one more time.

Police Squad--the 6 episode precursor to the Naked Gun movie trilogy was a timeless classic.

Maude--if for no other reason than hearing Donny Hathaway sing the theme song; it was the bomb, rivaled "Movin' On Up" and "Good Times" for most remembered theme song.

Silver Spoons
227
Different World
Martin
Cosby Show
Good Times
New York Undercover
South Central (RBL, that was a good one!)
The Golden Girls (fav' show!)

I forgot one

Laverne and Shirley (BTW, will debut on Lifetime starting March 8th, but will come on while I am at work :mad: )

In Living Color (SEASON 1) comes out on DVD on 4.6.04:cool:

Yayyyyy!!! :D I'll be right at Media Play when they put it on the shelf!!!

*hijack*

One of my favorites is when Tommy Davidson is dressed in Hammer pants and dancing like Hammer on "Can't touch this" (I think that's the song). He gets all tangled up and ends up falling off the stage! First time I saw that I laughed 'til I cried! Don't know if this is from Season 1, but I might have to go get this DVD collection!

*end hijack*

OMG, I am all over the In Living Color one!

I have season 1 and 2 of Due South (it was on US TV for 1 season and then switched to Canadian Television). Season 3 is coming out next month.

I also like
The Simpsons (I have the first Season)
I want to get
Married With Children
CSI (Vegas)
Law and Order (I love ALL the Law and Order series)
ER
Soap

*hijack again*

I know this wasn't season one, but I liked the spoof they did about the Butt Out Jeans and Jamie Foxx was Prince, and he was singing, "I got a hole in my jeans!" Now every time they show the commericals for Prince's Musicology tour, Hubby and I laugh and start singing the Butt Out Jeans song.

*end Hijack*

1st 2 seasons of Dallas now available on DVD. :cool:
