I've been reading for a while that the main reason Warner Brothers has been slow to introduce TV shows as part of its Warner Archives MOD DVD program is because the company is working on a solution to the massive amounts of discs needed to contain a series. Fearful that consumers wouldn't want to shell out the bucks for a set large enough to contain all the episodes of a long-running TV program, WB supposedly was working on a way to get more material on the burned discs to reduce the costs of season or series packages.
Well, worry no more, because Warner Brothers' crack technology team has found a solution: Instead of giving the consumer the whole show at a really high price, give the consumer less of the show at a really high price. Witness this item at TV Shows on DVD which reports the December 7 release of Cheyenne Season 2...you can't really be surprised by this next part, can you...PART 1.
In other words, why mess around with ways to give more value to the hardcore fans who will go to the trouble of buying Warner Archive DVDs? Nah, hell with that. Just go the Paramount route and charge a full-season price for half a season. Not only is the dollar value dubious, but buyers will have to wait longer to collect full series, to boot!
Now, Warners has not listed the price of this set, so maybe I'm wrong on this and the Archives will offer this at a reasonable price roughly equivalent to a fair market price for a full season. Yeah, maybe.
