CBS needs to re-release the DVDs, the sets have been sold out for a while and people are price-gouging the remaining copies on Amazon.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
agreed! Feel so fortunate that I snagged 'em a couple of years ago for about thirty apiece, can't believe they're oop
I think the end of the world just came for that bag of Fritos I had in my pocket...

I didn't even realize until today that they were discontinued. I guess that's what happens when you procrastinate. lol. I hope a re-release is in the works for the foreseeable future. I own the complete original series and the 2002 series.....not to mention the movie. The 80's series is all I'm missing.
shareLooks like the sets are back in circulation. Amazon is selling both for $41.99 each!!!

A full series DVD set was announced in July 2014.
It is being released on August 26 2014
(at least in the U.S.).

I was reading a review on that set and from what I've read, it's a cheap version of the first 2 separate sets. The thing that really bothers me is the fact that the DVD's come on a kind of cheap spindle when you open it up. That's a good way to get the discs scratched up.
I have the 2 original sets, and I had no problem with Season 1, but I was disappointed with the outcome of Season 2 & 3.
With Season 1, each disc had a simple 'Play All' option. That was nice. You could just click 'Play All', watch the show for a good 2 hours, and doze off to sleep if you needed to, without having to worry about grabbing your remote and hitting 'Play Next Episode'.
Well of course Season 2 & 3 didn't have a 'Play All' option.
WHY???!!! Why did they do that??? What were they THINKING?!
That is so stupid! I hate how the original Twilight Zone 'The Definite Collection' set I have doesn't have a 'Play All' option either. And it's not like they couldn't do it, because they did it with Season 1, and it turned out great!
That is just one of my pet peeves, I hate when a TV series gets a DVD release and it doesn't have a 'Play All' option. It's terrible. There is absolutely no excuse for that crap.
But I suppose bitching about an old DVD set that was released back in 2004 is useless.
Another thing that I was curious about was the 'Image' music, on the Season 1 set you can't hear it when you put the DVD in, it's supposed to have music when you see the 'Image' opening. But Season 2 you can hear the opening music. I noticed it's like that on The Definitive Collection set as well, on some of the DVD's you can hear the Image opening, and on some you can't.
That's just a weird coincidence I'm guessing, but there's no excuse for not having a 'Play All' option.
The last time I was at Costco, I saw a set of the complete original TZ and the box said it included the '80s show too. No idea what the quality is, etc., but it's a thought.

It's a nice set, I bought it just for fun. Haven't even opened it yet though, odds are they haven't fixed the 'Play All' option.
