A lot of folks have quoted (or stolen) my line about the whole premise of home video is for the industry to see how many times they can get me to buy Goldfinger. I haven't done an actual tally but I suspect the number of times it's been reissued in new formats or deluxe editions is nothing compared to the marketing of Fawlty Towers collections.

A collection of that wonderful sitcom shouldn't be that big a deal. I mean, there were only the twelve episodes, eight or nine of which are among the funniest TV shows ever produced. Anyway, Amazon has a nice sale going on the latest release, which is remastered and chock-full of special features and done so well, it will lull you into a false sense of security. Buy it and you'll think you'll never have to purchase another set of Fawlty Towers episodes ever again…you poor, deluded ninny. This one however should last you for a long time…weeks, perhaps.

Here's the link. It's currently $23.99 and since you get free shipping if your purchases total $25 or more, you'll probably want to buy something else at the same time. Knowing you, you can find something.
