Tell me about it!

PATRON: [returns the DVD of The Dresden Files series] Do you have the second season?
ME: No, I'm sorry, there was only one season.
PATRON: What?! [squinty eyed look] Which channel was it on?
ME: Sci Fi.
PATRON: That explains it.

I also still haven't convinced one guy that I'm not holding back on DVDs of Supernatural's fourth season

ADV's main focus was on anime, and due to the costs of dubbing, subtitles, etc., those can be pretty pricey. I think they got stuck in that mode.

I have no idea why the studio went with them for Farscape, but they were releasing them with two episodes to a disc in the first version, like they used to do with video tapes, but charging just as much a other companies would for a four episode disc. Even after they redid them, they still were using bulky packaging and charging outrageous prices.

I'm hoping they manage to get them re-released in a format like the Stargate DVDs are now. The prices are pretty reasonable and the slim packs don't take up much space.

I keep hoping Doctor Who and Torchwood will finally drop a bit on the price, but even the first season of DW hasn't really dropped. Even used sets are pricey. It's very similar to the pay TV channel prices, such as a season of shows from Showtime or HBO.

I can surf the net for deals with library money. I told the library's advisory board I was doing exactly that during the holiday season because there were such great sales at the time. They certainly like the idea of stretching our dollars. ;)
