Gord's Editorial
This is a significant release for Fox; it's the first time they've released multiple seasons in a deluxe "Complete Series" set (before releasing seasons or volumes first), and many people will be watching to see how well it sells. Hopefully it does well, and shows Fox, and the other studios, that fans are willing to plunk down money to buy the complete run of a show, and prefer this treatment over season sets (or in this case, season 1, volume 1, season 1, volume 2) that are collected over a few years.
