O_O That's in time for my birthday!  It'll probably cost $100, but maybe I just won't get a lot of other presents... hopefully I'll even be able to buy it myself if no one gives me it as a present.

[cybersybil]

I'm flying 2000 miles to see Dethklok in a few weeks...  But once I'm back, I'm gonna start saving my pennies for that set...  Hopefully it comes through.

[CartoonPlanet]

They did this same thing with Dr. Katz, except Only seasons 1 and 2 were released seperatly

CyberSybil,

Man, that's dedication! Does your hearing aid go up to 11? I'm sure the concert'll be so loud you won't need to take it that high regardless. Be sure to give a full report! I too will be saving up for the set. This makes me kinda glad that I held off on buying the dvds!

[Explosivo_420]

hmmm, i'll have to trade in my vols 1 and 2

but only if the whole set comes with the CD. 

[McGuirktheJerk]

It seems to me that Home Movies has been out there more lately.  Adult Swim is still airing them for at least the next 2 weeks I heard even though they completed the series run and on imdb it says Home Movies is up 32%.  Maybe if this thing happens (crossing my fingers) and it sells well we'll get to see that crappy very McGuirk Christmas where he's like Dean Martin, I can only hope right?

Oh man up and get all four seasons separately, then get the complete collection.


And also, holy crap.

Perhaps this is the last gasp effort to revive the show?

@Writer80:  There's a fine line between dedication and stupidity.  I'm hoping I'm on the right side of it.

I had season 1 and 2 of Dr. Katz on DVD when the boxed set came out.  Once I figured out that the individual season discs were identical to what was in the boxed set, I gifted seasons 1 and 2 to a friend, who then picked up the boxed set and re-gifted seasons 1 and 2 (with my blessing).  Spread the love, I say.  But I doubt I'd give up my much-loved individual four seasons.  The boxed HM set is (so far) subtitled "Director's Cut", so here's hoping for some new features. 

[Explosivo_420]

i wish i had freinds who'd want HM dvds.

[cybersybil]

They just don't KNOW they want it yet.  ^_^

[CockatriceWright]

That's definitely very likely. My brother spent a lot of time having decided he didn't like the show (the last time we'd seen it was on UPN), and then I showed him "Guitarmageddon" on the fix, and now it's one of his favorite shows. Trust me, this guy does not stay up till 2 AM ever for any other reason. I'm not sure if my sister had ever even heard of Home Movies until she happened to be awake when I was watching "Storm Warning". I don't know that she likes the show as much as brother and me, but she definitely likes it, and her getting into something I liked first is a definite accomplishment.  I feel good about being such a responsible big sister.

Anyone we can add to the cult following of HM is well worth it. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in "real life" who loves the series anywhere near as much as I do. The most I can get out of people after recommending they watch it is "eh, it wasn't bad".  Much like Dr. Katz, HM is practically tailor-made for a niche market.

Do you (general "you") think there are enough fans who want HM back in order for the series to be temporarily resurrected? (I hugely doubt it ever will) but the reason I ask the question is, I wish I knew whether it was lack of fan interest, lack of funding for the project, or lack of Brendon Small's interest in resurrecting the series. No doubt it is a combination of all 3 factors but I wish I knew which one was the dominant stumbling block. Since we at the HM forum are so rabid and appreciative in our love of HM it is natural for us to assume the fan base is perhaps bigger than it really is. It's just a curiosity thing for me.

[McGuirktheJerk]

They were thnik about bringing it back a year and a half ago but I think it was a longshot idea even then.  Heres a quote from Shout Factory "Sadly without a broadcast partner to kick in for the (financial) development of new shows, the cost is just too prohibitive...so (for now anyway) looks like there won't any new episodes. : ("  Here's the link:  http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=2

I dont have a myspace but if you do I would post on it, I mean it couldnt hurt. 

[cybersybil]

tvshowsondvd.com updated with a blurb indicating that "Director's Cut" is not, in fact, the official subtitle.  Still, a complete set is happy news.

My brother told me he'd buy the sets I have now off me if I got the collector's edition but, like Sybil, I don't know if I can bear parting with the seasons I have now. Financially, it would obviously be to my benefit to sell them, but emotionally I don't think I can. We'll see what's up with it.

[Durrrr]

Nice, definitely gonna have to pick this collection up. Hopefully a few new features will be added, but that's probably too much to ask for, though.

[breakout2317]

I would hope there are a few more things. Or, in the very least, a totally sweet box. Like Brendon's camera or something.

[dog_from_duck_hunt]

i need that box set!

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

Updated with pricing info:

An exceptionally good deal if you pre-order now.

[cybersybil]

Despite the pre-order discount, his is going to cost me a small fortune due to border charges... But I can't not order it.  Thanks for the info.

I know what I want for Christmas.

[atomiccheeseburger]

Yessss. Hope it's not too expensive. Home Movies DVDs are near-impossible to find around here so maybe I can find this one when it comes out.

BOX AAAAAAAAAART
