Re: Wings is FINALLY coming to DVD!!!
I didn't buy the first set, but with news of the quick release of season three (and possibly season four to soon follow), I am now seriously re-considering collecting Wings. If the other studios would fast track their releases, I think they would find that a lot more folks were willing to make the plunge into investing in some shows they might otherwise be ambivalent about.
It's the same thing with the Andy Griffith releases for me. I had originally only planned to buy through season five, but since Paramount is releasing the entire run of the show so quickly, I thought what the heck, I'll go for all eight seasons.
I think for a lot of people (like me) there is a reluctance to start collecting a show (especially a long running show like the two mentioned above) if there is a chance (a pretty good chance with some studios) that you'll be left high and dry after a couple of seasons are released. If a few seasons come out pretty quick and at a regular rate, then at least you have some confidence that it's worth the investment.
But with all of that having been said, Paramount has still let us down by (seemingly) quitting on Taxi, so I'm still not 100% confident even in them, although they do better than some of the other studios.
