This is a series I’d wanted to pick up for a while, but the price wasn’t easy to justify. Now it’s pretty much a no-brainer.

Amazon.com has the complete series of The Greatest American Hero on sale now for $43.49, which is 57% off the usual $99 it goes for. You get all three seasons, a bunch of extras and — the best part — a freakin’ cape and suit instruction notebook! Oh man, ComicCon is gonna be sweet next year. Y’know, for someone who dresses up for it. Not me.

This is also a great time to pick up the series, as you can re-watch (or watch for the first time) before the reported feature-length film comes to theaters.

There are more deals for the next couple of weeks, so I’ll be posting them here to keep you up-to-date. Also, they’ll be added to our handy-dandy store for easy reference.

Yeah, I know … you hate me. I keep mentioning these sick deals for TV on DVD at Amazon.com, yet meanwhile, you’re blowing the moths out of your wallets. Hell, I’m having a hard time not filling my office, living room and garage with more of these sets! But I don’t want you to miss out on them, since they make great bargains for gifts if you’re not getting them for yourself.

Here are a few of the deals that are still up this week:

Weeds: Season One — Normally $29.98, now $14.49 (same savings on season 2 and season 3)

Mad Men: Season One (Blu-ray) — Normally $49.99, now $24.99

Silly me to completely forget that those great “Black Friday” deals happening on Amazon.com were not only for Friday. It turns out that many (or most) of the deals I mentioned last week are still going on today and into the wee hours of tomorrow morning. For example, the Monty Python complete series is still going for a steal at $53.49.

A couple more I didn’t mention last week:

John Adams HBO mini-series: normally $59.99, sale for $23.99

Batman: The Complete Animated Series: normally $107.92, sale for $75.99

Gilligan’s Island: Complete Series: normally $114.82, sale for $32.99

Weeds: a few different seasons (all?) are going for only $11.99

Let us know how you make out shopping these deals!
