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

Designing Women
 
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!

BabyBlue.....you have my DYING with that Designing Women quote....i remember every word so vividly.

anyway, GOOD TIMES IS ON DVD NOW????? OMG!

Finally, I would by a lot of shows on DVD, because I really like television in general. But I purchased the complete DVD collection of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" a few months ago from Best Buy. I really like sketch comedy, and Monty Python is just classic. Anyway, it was expensive, but I wanted to treat myself after wanting the collection for a year and a half. :)
