Great News for all Dinner for five fans, Amazon.com just released the whole series on DVD.
http://www.amazon.com/dinnerforfive
You can buy individual episodes, or you can order the complete box set on the left sidebar.
I know!!! What a great surprise!
But, what else is on it?
Deleted conversations? Audio Commentary? Behind the scenes?
Probably none of the above.
But who cares? One of the best shows on TV is now completely available.
Whoever gets it first from Amazon, please post if there are any bonuses?

The whole Episodes are $9.95...is it the whole thing uncensored?...nothing cut? I just order the box set and can't wait to get it but i am wondering if it will be worth buying the single episode of some of my favorites...does anyone know what the single episode discs have on them?
shareI ordered mine the day they became available. It was suppose to ship on the 20th. Then it got pushed back to the 25th. Now it says it wont ship until aug. 8th. although it says "we are preparing your shipment". thats ridiculous. i hope they still charge me the price of 41.99.
shareThey still don't have it in stock!!!
Aug 10th is my new date.
Damn Amazon!
mine too said that it wont come until aug 8th. However I tracked the order and it now shows that it has shipped and is now near where I live, so I should hopefully get it tomorrow. I assume others will get it earlier than the estimated date as well.
shareWell thats good news, please let us know if you do get the dvds earlier than the 8th?
shareI got the dvds earlier today. Hope others did too.
shareI'm getting mine today. Although apparently they are cheap DVRs
shareYea, they're cheaply made, and so far two episodes in season 1 (on two different disks) have been a blank white screen with only sound, but it's still a great show.
shareI've got the same problem, on several discs. The following are white screen with only the audio of the episode:
Season 1, Disc 3: Episode 7
Season 1, Disc 4: Episode 9
Season 2, Disc 3: Episode 18
Season 3, Vol. 2, Disc 6: Episode 36
Here is where you can go to send defective Dinner For Five discs back:

Cody, I think my disks have the exact same blank episodes but I'm not entirely sure. If that's the case, then every copy is probably the same, which sucks.
shareSame problem here. So, you send them back, it'll take 4 years to get a new 'problem-free disc'?
Yeah. Same deal here. The artwork even looks like a bootleg.
shareSO is this worth the while to pay for? Should you just rent them and make your own copies? I can't even get the complete series anymore through amazon.com, it doesn't say anything about it. Anybody know anything?

shareI checked out Amazon.com today and all of the episodes and complete seasons are currently unavailable, well except the first season thats been out for awhile now. People probably complained about them of something.
shareI received the complete set from Amazon last week and got an email today telling me that they were going to send me a replacement set because of defective discs.
shareYea same here. A brand new set. PLUS a 10 dollar certificate. Amazon def. loves good customer satisfaction. I just dont wanna have to watch all the episodes again to make sure they work. If anyone does infact watch these new sets please let us know if they work properly
shareI got the same message from Amazon. But the replacement won't arrive until October 10th.
Even better than a $10 Gift Certificate would be some extra features on the DVD.
Just received my replacements from amazon.com, to my surprise they replaced every disc, instead of just the defective ones.
"Eye for an eye, and the whole world's a pirate"
Did anyone get their replacement disks? Were they okay? I'm slow, I didn't know the whole series was even available. Now it seems Amazon has pulled it, can't even get a used set. Does anyone know anything?
shareAs of today, the DVD set is back on Amazon.com, although it's $74.95 :(
shareHaha that sucks. I sold my copies with the errors for about 70 bucks. And I only paid 45 for the set. So now I have working copies and made a nice little profit.

I've got it too.
Richard Lewis to the waiter: "I'll take a hooker and a shower, can you do that for me?"
Great series.
"Did anyone read on the front page of the Times that matter is decaying?"
Are these new sets ACTUAL DVDs or still the old DVD-Rs???

does anyone have an update? anyone know if or when the DVD set will be for sale again?
and just out of curiosity, anybody got theories on W T F they stopped selling these dvds? i just do not understand. there must be a business snag, like who gets the royalties or something.
either way, it is sad that the fans have to miss out.

"Where.... can I put my ash?"
Seasons 1-3 is avlb to watch on Amazon Instant Video for like 25 bucks for each season. It's not the same as owning the DVD's, but if you just want to see the show and get your DF5 fix, then it might not be such a bad option.

Also: you can get the complete series (three volumes) on iTunes for about $75.
