Just picked up Futurama Complete Series at Costco for $50 + tax ($50 / 4 Seasons = $12.50 per season). The season sets came in a black case designed with a Futurama logo and artwork. Included in the box was an XL t-shirt with Bender on it; Looks pretty good.
I also saw Arrested Development (with Bluth banana stand t-shirt; really neat); How I Met Your Mother (unknown style t-shirt), and some other TV show -- all at the same price.
This shouldn't be YMMV since Costco sales tend to be the same at all stores.

I'd buy Arrested Development just for the shirt (and to give the sets as presents)

I was at Costco today, they also have My Name Is Earl. Anyone know if each season comes in the original box, and not one giant box?

The Futurama seasons each came in their original box (don't know about the other tv shows). The season boxes and the shirt are all housed in a bigger box. The shirt doesn't add too much space in the box, it's packed tightly to about the width of a slightly oversized DVD case.
do'h, My Name is Earl was the other set I saw.

If you have a friend who is a member, they can buy $50 gift cards that double as a membership (you can get in as long as you're paying via gift card).

Yes I have the My Name Is Earl boxset, it's all 3 seasons in their regular individual packaging. The big box they come in just holds them all and the T-shirt in
I'd kill for the Bluth t-shirt lol Th Earl one is just a trailer that says home sweet home. Anyone up for a trade lol

Someone on slickdeals posted this shot of the back of the Futurama box, claiming shirt is an XL:

We don't have a nearby Costco in my part of PA. If anyone is able to grab & ship a Futurama set, PM and we'll work out something nice! This looks like a great deal.

I checked two costco in the last week and none of them have the Futurama box set. Last time I saw this in stock was at the beginning of December.
