Hail to the Chief, baby.

Classy. I would have liked to see the floating heads dissolved above the image of the White House instead of a straight split screen.

While the spine is nice, I think the cover ranks up there as one of the worse I've ever seen. It looks like someone took 5 different graphics and pasted them on.

Don't care about alphabetical order here - day of release buy and it's going right next to my treasured SportsNight box...

all Sorkin, all the time.... I'm shaking in anticipation now....

Ooh, looks like an alternative ID4 cover

Some red and white to go with that blue would have been nice... why not just replicate some of the background from the opening titles?

Well from what I've seen of the show, it's not so much about America as it is "moral" ideology.

R1 / R2 ...

Seems a bit odd to me that WB (or any company) would go to the added time, bother, and expense of creating completely different cover designs for a Region 1 vs. a Region 2 (or other) DVD release. Why not use the same one worldwide?

Is this common, completely different cover art based on regions? Never have noticed.

Common, believe it or not. Great examples: Friends, Buffy, TNG, Dark Angel.

Of course, there are exceptions to that rule. Futurama comes to mind...even though the boxes are shaped a bit differently (more square from a top-down view on the R2, IIRC), the art is the same.
