Several hundred Warner DVDs are going OOP (1 Viewer)

Don't tell me both seasons of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends are out of print, or they just mean the combo pack? I hope this doesn't mean another nail in Foster's DVD coffin.

Now those outlets are gone and it just does not make any sense to hold on to those in the film companies warehouses, so the companies just get rid of the stock and don't press any more.

Yep. Add to it that it's known that at least one of the Astaire/Rogers films is being prepped for Blu-ray. Best to sell off remaining DVD stock and not print more in preparation if selling them again to the HD consumers.
