A company called BFS has just brought out six episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show on DVD. The episodes are as follows: Never Name a Duck, Bank Book 6565696, Hustling the Hustler, The Night the Roof Fell In, A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own and Give Me Your Walls! All of them are completely watchable but I would rank none of these installments among the show's finer moments. (This is not supposed to be the "six best," but if it were and I were asked to pick, I'd include It May Look Like a Walnut, Coast-to-Coast Big Mouth, That's My Boy?, The Bottom of Mel Cooley's Heart, The Impractical Joke and then either Talk to the Snail or October Eve. But that's just me.) Still, there is good news in that this new DVD DVD is supposed to be the first of many releases — and at bargain prices.
This DVD goes for under ten bucks. Matter of fact, DVD Planet has it for $7.49 plus postage…$2.50 for the first item and 50¢ for each item thereafter. You'll probably want to amortize that "first item" cost by ordering several DVDs at the same time. DVD Planet used to be known as Ken Crane's Laserdiscs, and it was (and still is) the best place in the world to purchase those now-antiquated items. They also have the best prices, best selection and almost the best service for DVDs. I say "almost" because they tend to slightly delay your first-ever order to make triple-sure your credit card is legit. But once they deem you Kosher, they ship instantly, and you won't want to order from anywhere else. End of plug.
