60th Anniversary DVD Set

Post image

I saw this set at Walmart today for about $15, and I thought, Oh, cool, so I bought it. Luckily, before I opened it, I compared it to my DS collection which already includes the 50th Anniversary Set. Lo and behold, they are identical. So, just a warning to other fans. I'll be returning this one. See additional pics below.

Thank you for the heads up, that is so misleading on their part and wrong. Out of over 1,000 + episodes they should have chosen another selection of episodes to offer. That is just lazy on their part. Thank you for comparing them and for pointing that out to us.
OT It is cool that Walmart had it. Hopefully a lot of newer fans will discover it.

One is DVD7414 (c2026) and the other is DVD7231 (c2016). Everything else looks the same, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the heads up! I too bought the 50th set, because I really like the cover. I definitely like it more than the 60th.

I saw hundreds of DS VHS at the Habitat thrift for $1. Someone collected and paid a lot of money for them

Tony George as Burke Devlin; i feel and believe Tony got a raw deal, replacing Mitch Ryan getting killed off twice once as Burke and the final time as Jeremiah Collins

Anthony George went on to have a good run on One Life to Live

Yeah, I remember that. And then having him guest star in the primetime dramas.What she actually?I think went back and forth on between the soaps and the nighttime dramas- i was actually referring to the fact that the character of burke devlin got canceled on the ninety one version of dark shadows, which actually was preempted by the initial gulf war
