I poked around looking for this for 15 minutes and could only find $19.99 per season. But your link took me to the right place. Thank you so much.

The other way around for me. Season one featured the classic routines A&C had honed to perfection over the years. Season two was a downgrade IMHO, mostly standard comedy stuff not unique to A&C. I also missed Hillary Brooke and Stinky.

Moon River was written for 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and was not around in 1957, so it had to be added when the episode was edited to squeeze in Ricky's segments. Meanwhile, this appears to be a scene that got removed to make room for Rick, which is kind of a shame:

I have the series on iTunes and downloaded an episode so I could see the file stats: 1080p.

iTunes has Monk complete series for $29.99. It's kind of buried though. You have to find the show Monk, then go down to the buy area and get a list of all the seasons. it will show two versions of season 1, and one of those versions turns out to be the complete series.

I checked one out and it looked to me like the same prints. In fact the one I sampled on my desktop Mac was 720p which is better resolution than the DVDs.

When the show was running on one of the nostalgia subchannels they aired all five parts. It looked pretty good but there were downsides.

Maybe it was a wedding present from Kris's Dad.

Just got an email from Amazon...cancelling my order for Vol 14. Says it's out of stock. Suggests I check other sellers on the product page...only there aren't any other sellers. I assume Vol 13 will arrive at some point...although that one is also listed as temporarily out of stock. (I used too...

I think that might have been 'County Hospital'

Now on to 'Ozzie's Girls'!

Amazon email says arrive date Wednesday, September 27, 2023

I can't remember which season or which episode, but my ears did perk up when someone mentioned Dave being in law school. Rick or one of the guys, not Ozzie or Harriet.

In one of the earlier episodes, with a Kodak film opening plug at the beginning, they show Rick and Dave with their dates taking pictures at a zoo (I think). Dave's date appears to be June, perhaps her first appearance on the show.
