OK. Probably a dumb question, but ...

I was thinking ... if there is some ownership issue that's holding up the DVDs - why the hell was it possible to put out videos? Surely the same constraints would have applied, yet we got 22 videotapes.
 
Now I'm a trifle irate, as I always get when thinking about this. What, are they waiting for their prime fucking audience to DIE? Morons! We're here, we have disposable income! Get with the friggin' program already!


Thanks. I feel better now. Not much, but better.

They're theorizing that the profits they'll have to hand over to him will be too high? Well, if they wait 'til everyone who remembers the show is too old or dead to buy it, a percentage of nothing is nothing too.


Grrr....

I don't think it has so much to do with profits but creative control ---but that's pure guesswork.

Bottom line: no one in Hollywood has ever figured out what to do with the thing and I doubt they ever will. I think there is definitely an answer, but you'd have to understand and watch the series first.

And you know how this works.

What the hell? We have the fandom and our fanfic. MFU lives. In the end, we don't need their stinkin' DVDs.
