I agree. The same thing had occurred to me. Even if they had aired it at 4:00 in the morning or something ridiculous during off-peak hours when it didn't matter if anyone watched, just to be nice and allow the DVDs to come out, that would have been fine with me.

That also has occurred to me. Too bad it was ten years ago. I really don't think anything can be done anymore, except squeeze around the contract somehow (although we're all still waiting over here...).

I suppose that's possible. No way of knowing, though... I bet that would have helped, considering I guarantee you it would have been more popular on DVD.
