Bargains and deals and I won't see a penny

No, this isn't a chance to flog some Amazon products and get you all to throw some cash my way.

I wish.

No, this is just me being a nice guy and directing you to some of the geekly bargains I've come across.

Tower.com has Dr. Katz, the Complete Series for $80, which is the cheapest I've found. I'm going to buy this next month with my discretionary movie spending, but I hate that I've already bought seasons 1 and 2 individually before they decided to package it this way. Dr. Katz was one of my favorite shows and I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

I was fortunate to buy all of the Batman and Superman animated series installments at Sam's Club for $20 apiece about a year or two ago, but they never seem to carry Justice League. I've been holding back for years on buying Justice League and Justice League Unlimited because they never seem to come down in price. The only luck I've had so far is finding JLU Season 2 for about $20.

This week, I found seasons 1-3 of Teen Titans for $9 apiece! Then I actually discovered that Sam's is finally selling JLU box sets! Yay!

Oh, wait. They've packaged JLU 1 and 2 together for $40. And now, since I have Season 2, I can't buy it. Argh! But for all of you, this is a good deal.

It does make me wonder something: How can Teen Titans have 13 20-minute episodes and sell for about $15, but Justice League (also with 13 20-minute episodes) retails for almost 40? This is why I can't justify paying retail for it.

Anyway, also at Sam's, I found the Complete Tex Avery Droopy and two Tom and Jerry volumes, all for $13 apiece. (Warning: Tom and Jerry Volume 2 has Whoopi Goldberg, undoubtedly repeating her "I hereby take the curse off your racist cartoons" introduction which she did for the Warner Brothers volumes.)

They also have the Superfriends box sets for cheap, and I went back and forth on whether to get those as well. Frankly, I don't have young children, so I can't imagine watching them on my own. Nostalgia, sure, but they're pretty painful to look at these days.
