According to Martin Blythe at http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/002495.html TOS will be done by the end of the year. Hopefully this is in antipication of the other series coming out.

This is weird. I was just contemplating a post related to this and then I saw your topic.

My question to Trek fans was going to be: There's so many volumes of TOS available, would you be willing to let Paramount take a break from them and concentrate on getting more classic movies out?

But I guess if they're nearing the end, it doesn't matter much anyway.

I have nothing against Trek in any form, and I think it's neat that studios are actively getting classic series on DVD, but Paramount especially has been one of the slowest to put out some of their biggest movies and not many smaller ones at all, so I've just always wondered if maybe they got their heads out of the stars maybe we'd get some other stuff sooner.

I just sold all of mine on ebay. I'm not buying ANY more until they release boxed sets.
And if they don't...too bad for them.

I have the entire 1st season, and now I'm picking and choosing which ones I buy. It's a shame they only put 2 eps (+ a 1min trailer?) on each discs when DVDs can easily hold 4 hours.. 80 discs for the whole series, that's a bit much..

no its 40 Disks, 80 eps, while I understand people complaining they are 100 minute disks which is comparible to many movies (content wise)

on that line of thinking, the Dune miniseries (5 hours total) came on 2 single layered discs. Why couldn't they put it all on one dual layer disc? I really don't understand that...

Um, didn't the Dune series come on two dual-laered discs? A DVD 18 holds at most like 6-7 hours.
