    ^ hey, don't place the blame on me. I was speaking from an angry consumers point-of-view, I wasn't the one acting condescending towards any other posters, basically just speaking my mind that fans do not like "best of" sets, and if you polled most people here, you would see the majority here...

    well, if Warner is gonna do "best of"'s, they should take a page from the Sony handbook and do a "best of the entire series" set like they did Mad About You. I didn't buy it, not because it was a best of, but because I am not a big enough MAY fan to own it. But if they took some of their shows...

    some people don't grasp the concept that a lot of people object to the idea of "best of"'s. All I can do is cross my fingers and thank God that none of my favorite sitcoms are Warner properties.

    I don't think the companies realize that the audiences don't like the idea of "best of" episodes. A radical idea that could work and would be better embraced by the fans would be taking a show like Murphy Brown, which "flopped" apparently on DVD, and releasing the first six episodes of season...

    I feel the opposite, I am always hesitant to check out Warner owned titles nowadays because they have proven time and again they are unreliable with sticking to series, they have way too high expectations for shows (like expecting Murphy Brown to sell like Friends) and then it's us, the consumer...

    I am curious to see how Facts Of Life will perform as opposed to Diff'rent Strokes. While DS was a bigger hit in its initial run and was the parent, I think FOL has more of what you'd consider a "cult" following. FOL has a pretty rabid and devoted cult following for a 1980's series, people who...

    well, regarding Three's Company vs. Happy Days. Anchor Bay is a much better company at being dedicated to a series. They will stick with shows until the end as opposed to "this sold how much next to Seinfeld/Chappelle's Show?" Do you think a show like Silk Stalkings would have four seasons...

    okay, well Gilmore Girls is an anomaly for the genre. But what does One Tree Hill have that Everwood doesn't? OTH sold well enough to merit a season 2 DVD, and maybe a season 3 DVD will come later this year (it's in progress.. may be the last season), yet Everwood's in season 4 and you have yet...

    but then explain the DVD success of Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill? both of which are also WB dramas that don't really have the sci-fi aspect to it but yet they're both caught up on DVD, while Everwood's stuck in season 1.

    I was surprised at this, considering that 7th was the #1 series on the WB for like eight seasons, yet shows like Buffy, Charmed, Angel, Roswell, Smallville, etc... were all hits on DVD. I think the answer truly lies in the fact that those other shows have devoted cult followings, while 7th is...

    oh ok, you're right. For some reason I could've sworn remembering Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow (as Phoebe, not Ursula) on a MAY episode too.

    I don't see why Sony is afraid to give MAY one more try on DVD, when seasons 1 and 2 came out, TV-DVD was relogated mostly to cult hits and blockbusters like Friends.... I think if Mary Tyler Moore can find life and an audience in todays TV-DVD environment, though they couldn't three years ago...

    Night Court - it ran nine seasons and was part of the groundbreaking NBC Thursday schedule in the 1980's and has done fairly well on TV Land. I never expected it to sell as well as Cheers (which ran roughly the same seasons) but you'd think if Cheers was already up to season 8 on DVD, that Night...
