Homicide: Life on The Street - The Complete Series (repackaged) (9/29/09)
For those that missed this complete megaset file cabinet from A&E that has been OOP for a while and very expensive elsewhere, now you can finally get it at a reasonable price.

Hopefully the 25-disc count is a misprint since it was originally 35. Otherwise, some would be flippers.

Nice I loved this show back-in-the-day and still do (( The Best Cop Show Ever )).

Looks like a re-release. Accordingly, it should be available elsewhere for even less.

On the one hand, I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to acquire this, having been too broke to get it previously. On the other hand, did it have to be so close to the G.I. Joe and Transformers series releases? Hopefully, they will all be in large supply and in print long enough for me to pick up all three.

I never thought this would happen so I bit the $200 bullet at NBC.com a while back. It still shows in stock there.

Loved this show back when it aired, but missed most of it due to working nights and no DVR at the time. Been waiting for a rainy month to go thru the set. I have a feeling that it may go down as my favorite (recent history) series of all time, although Six Feet Under will be tough to beat.

Best cop show ever. Bar none. Anyone that doesnt own this already, should. Six seasons of greatness.

Tom Fontana is a genius.
St. Elsewhere (1983-1988) -> Homicide (1993-1999) -> Oz (1997-2003)
Also, a great unknown show, The Beat (2000) which ran for 13 episodes bun they only aired 6 of them. Hoping for a DVD set someday...

I wonder if I should sell my current set. Anyone know what a sealed set would be worth?

Note: Amazon has the forthcoming set listed as a "re-package," suggesting that perhaps this won't be identical to the previous issue. They also have it at 25 discs instead of 35. These could just be errors in the listing, though.

Tom Fontana was half of the Homicide equation; David Simon was the other half, and the Wire is his baby. Do yourself a favor and check it out -- if you like Homicide, it's hard to see how you won't like the Wire.

Best cop show on basic cable ever. It's not even in the same league as The Wire. Although, it is the closest thing in terms of the innovation for the genre on basic cable. What hurts the show is the last few seasons are awful. I passed on the box set originally b/c I know I would never watch the last few seasons. I may pick this up if I can find it really cheap.

Ugh. I didn't need to hear that. That means I just missed buying this for around a hundred but had to spend 2. Same with Get Smart. As soon as I bought it from Time-Life, it was announced through HBO. Bad luck for me...

I got it in a sale Deep Discount had a couple of years ago where they had a buy 1 get 1 free sale. I got 2 copies of the Homicide set and sold one on half.com and wound up only paying like $30 for the copy I kept, which was awesome.

I recommend this set. The best show ever put on TV (The Wire is #2, but that is a cable show).
Also, this set has the L&O crossover episodes and the movie. The movie is OOP and the L&O crossovers have not be released on L&O sets yet.
I like many others got this set dirt cheap (if I recall, I have like $40 in Reward Zone coupons, so my set was pretty low).

I can hope, but I'm sure if this is just a repackaging that it won't include closed captions.
