They have now released box art:

I love the design, but is it my imagination, or is that picture not from the first season? The actors look too old. For all I know, the pic is from the 1979 reunion movie. And while I'm thrilled the show is making it to dvd, they've done it again--they're releasing it as 1/2 seasons. Great. Just great. That's how you can make a 5-season show into a 10-season show. I would barely hope to have all five seasons on dvd, but if it's going to take ten individual releases, we may never see it all. I wish the studios would consider that logic when splitting seasons in half. Anyway, that practice is getting old....nowadays, we expect to see complete series sets, such as Land of the Giants. By splitting seasons in half, the studios risk frustrating viewers more than ever. As it is, people are waiting to buy even one season until the entire show is released, because they're starting to expect a Complete Series boxed set at the end of it--which is always cheaper, saves space and is usually more aesthetically desirable than the individual releases.
We may get 2 or 3 releases of Mod Squad, then it's bye-bye forever, like the Big Valley.
