I'm starting this thread in response to my recent purchase of Weeds Season 1. I knew it was in fullscreen when I bought it I just thought I could deal with it, but after only 5 minutes into the first episode, I had to turn it off after half of someones head was cut off. I know the debate over this issue and why Lionsgate released this in fullscreen (I'm just happy their excuse wont work for Season 2, as Showtime aired the show in widescreen on the non-HD channel also), but I'm wondering why there are never reissues on TV shows. They do it for movies all the time, I mean every year I swear there is a new edition of Scarface out, then there was the whole Jaws 25th then 30th Anniversary edition. More recently I'm thinking of Reservoir Dogs and the new edition that came out just recently. Is it just too much of a waste of money to reissue TV sets especially with such a grave mistake as this. If TV-DVD is such a big business why not try to maximize their profits. I know I would buy a reissue of the first season of Weeds in a heartbeat, as long as it was released in the proper aspect. Maybe a complete series will come out and they will redo the first season. Even shows with edits, re-released without these edits, fans of the show will immediately buy these especially if advertised without the edits. Any thoughts on this issue? (I know I kind of rambled)
