Studios confuse me....

They are going to release the complete season of "Samantha Who?". But, we hear nothing of other shows that might have cult followings..."Reaper", "Journeyman", etc. I mean we get "Fastlane" yet not its Friday night partner "John Doe". I know they still could come out. But, it just bums me out. Plus, I want to free room on my dvr.

Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

The prompt release of "Samantha Who?" is designed to build interest for the second season, which will premiere in the fall. "Reaper" was only just today picked up for a (half) second season, so it may follow. "Journeyman" has been canceled, so it's not as pressing. (It's also from 20th Century Fox, whereas the other two are from ABC Studios a.k.a. Disney.)

As for your "Fastlane"/"John Doe" issue, realize again that they are from different studios.

It's doubtful that Reaper will gain any new ratings and since Samantha Who is definitely returning for a new full season, the studios are going to support releases for current DVD shows and release them in the hopes of attracting new viewers.

Like Mike said, Repear just got picked up as a mid season replacement, meaning new episodes will not debut until January or later. Why release a season set in September of a show with no new episodes until the new year? It doesn't make a lot of sense. Wait until the November/December releases are announced. I bet it will be in there somewhere.

^ And it'll be a less crowded time for TV releases in November or December too.
