This is very cool news for fans of Jon Favreau's gone-but-not-forgotten IFC talk show Dinner For Five: every episode is now available at Amazon.com!The actor made a deal with the Amazon company CustomFlix Labs to make every episode of the show available to fans in a number of ways. You could go the usual route and buy each season (there were four seasons total) or buy the complete set for around $42.99. But the cool part is this: you can actually buy single episode DVDs! They go for around $10.00 each. But wait it doesn't stop there (great, I'm turning into a informercial guy): you can actually customize your DVDs with your favorite episodes. Check out Favreau's.
I'm getting the whole set. I bought the first season on DVD when it came out a few years ago and I wasn't even sure if sales were good enough so they would release later seasons, so this is great to hear. As a bonus you can watch video of Favreau interviewing Robert Downey, Jr. about Iron Man, Rodney Dangerfield, and Saturday Night Live.

This was simply the best talk show in existence. I understand Jon is busy but I would love for him to pass the baton to someone else. I would think that people would line up to be one it just for the free 5-star dinner!! It was very refreshing to just listen to a group of people talk about the business without any "celebrity" involved.

This is fantastic. And would someone please introduce CustomFlix to Lorne Michaels. I'd love it if he would do this very same thing with SNL episodes.
