This is just a thought of mine...I guess this is the best place to put it.
Does anyone else here think that the show 24 exists partially because of the success of these DVD boxsets? Think about it. When 24 was being developed, FOX knew it would not work with syndication, but also that the X-Files DVD box sets were a huge success. And if there's any show that benefits from being in a boxset, (Granted, they ALL DO! ) it's 24! We've all been told the DVD release was an attempt to recoup production costs, (And recover us fans who were lost during the television broadcasts. *sigh* They certainly recovered ME!) and I wonder that part of FOX agreeing to produce this show was based on the intentions that they would make up the losses of a syndication deal with a DVD release. Certainly makes us feel special!
I for one just miss the outstanding video quality of the DVDs when watching the new season. With progressive anamorphic widescreen, this show looked INCREDIBLE! While I like the new season in content, the video is rather poor, and the picture looks cramped and very pan n' scan like. Can't wait to buy season 2 on DVD!
