This first Anchor Bay version looks a lot nicer than the one I purchased. My copy was the re-released 2011 version, which came in generic multdisc viva dvd case without any of the special features/packaging.

Oddly enough around a decade ago, the season 1 dvd set of Boomtown was very common dump bin fodder at local discount outlets. (IIRC, I picked it up for $5 back in 2011 or 2012).

Not entirely clear why season 2 was never released. (IIRC, the season 1 dvd set was released by Artisan/Lionsgate). At time circa late 2003, Lionsgate had just purchased Artisan. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/16/movies/with-acquisition-lions-gate-is-now-largest-indie.html

With Crusade being troubled during its first-run, I have to wonder if additional seasons would have made any difference.

In the case of Firefly, I have to wonder if the show would have turned to crap in later hypothetical seasons (if it had continued). Not quite an apples-to-apples comparison, The Killjoys superficially had some similar tropes to Firefly, where it lasted five seasons. I like the first season of...
