We have all seen the mass Buena Vista rollout for the fall on TSOD today. Considering every show listed has an abbreviated season due to the strike, shouldn't it make sense for shows like Grey's, Lost, Desperate Housewives and the like to maybe list for 49.99 or 39.99 instead of the 59.99 that full seasons go for? Disney is not Fox or Warner Bros. in the sense of doing 17.99 specials, so I think that with less bang for the buck, as well as a recession, that all of these sets are going to sell considerably less than prior seasons because 16 episodes for Grey's season 4 for the same price as 27 episodes for season 2 (and keep in mind season 2 is regarded as a far better season) is not attractive to a lot of wallet-conscious consumers.
