Hello,
We do not have any information on the below season at this time. Feel free to try us in a couple of months.
Thank You

So maybe a glimmer of hope in that they didn't say "forget it."
Thanks for the info. TV/DVD collection is a frustrating hobby at times. It's the "not knowing" for me that's the hardest (how a series is selling, no published info on when a series is "dead", etc). But, it (collecting) is also a "blast" when we see the news posts at TSoD that we've been waiting for....Gord Lacey said:Poor sales of season 4 have taken season 5 off the schedule. Gord
It's even more frustrating when you consider the huge cliffhanger that season 4 ended on.Dave Scarpa said:It's almost enough to make me rent all my TV on DVD from Netflix. It's tough to commit $$$ to buying these box sets only to have them abandoned.
But L&O is a very different kettle of fish.
1) It isn't a serialized drama like NYPD Blue.
2) It has been on so damned long that there are an incredible number of episodes.
As a result of both these factors it doesn't "burn out" as quickly with viewers as NYPD Blue.
Personally, I think serialized shows work better on DVD, but the ones I've watched most (and most often) are shows that are no longer available in reruns (Babylon 5, Highlander) or that are available uncut in widescreen on DVD (scaled to 720p on my TV), but only rerun in badly-trimmed 4:3 on SD digital cable channels. It may be that for a lot of NYPD Blue fans the TNT reruns are "good enough" and that they can't watch the show that often anyway. I would certainly be happy to see S5 and beyond, but agree that it is tough to fault Fox. I think they've given the show every chance and that the market has spoken. Unfortunately, the market seems to have said, "No." :frowning:
And Gord, let me add my congratulations on the TV Guide thing. Very, very cool indeed.
Later,
Joe
