Technically, this week is supposed to be a celebration of Thanksgiving, a holiday about sharing with others and coming together in times of need.
But let’s be real. The holiday that most of us are really looking forward to is Black Friday, the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season. Every year, retailers unleash their best deals to the public on the day after Thanksgiving… and it’s absolute insanity inside the retail stores.
Who needs that? You can now get most of your Black Friday shopping done online several days early. In fact, several websites have already started their Black Friday promotions and there’s no better time than the present to begin.
CraveOnline has assembled a list of the 10 Best Black Friday TV on Blu-ray Box Set Deals available online. These are the shows that we want for Christmas, but we’d love to hear from you as well. Share some of your picks for this week’s Black Friday TV deals in the comment section below!
