I'd love for it to come out on DVD. As a fan of pretty much every project JMS has worked on or created starting with Babylon 5, I'd love to see this one. Unfortunately, I don't have Showtime.

It's all locked up in contracts and stuff at showtime. Joe DeMartino can explain what's going on with that better than I can, but don't expect to see it for a while. :frowning:

I'd love to have it though. I'll try out any show where JMS is the show runner. :)

JMS said something about this when S1 was just going into production. I don't have the post and I'm not sure I remember the details exactly. :)

The gist of the message was that there is an embargo on both syndication and home video. I think Showtime gets to run each season in its entirety a couple of times before that season can be syndicated, and that season has to run in syndication for a year before it can be released on home video. If I remember the math they were talking about the first season hitting broadcast TV/non-premium cable (or at least being made available to them - nobody can say for sure that anyone will buy the show :)) in 2004, which means the earliest date for S1 on DVD would be 2005.

But, hey, that's just what I remember. I could be wrong. :)

Regards,

Joe
