What the heck, Sony?
I understand that doing a DVD-R release for some shows is perhaps the most economically feasible option. FOX's Breaking In, for example, never got a good running, and few people even know of its existence, so I get why it was released on DVD-R rather than on the more reliable, more durable, and more standard DVD. Happy Endings, however, is an already established show, one with prior seasons on regular DVDs. Why can't a sense of continuity occur with the series? Why can't it have a more official, legitimate release? For a company that claims to have fought so hard for its renewal, this DVD shows nothing of the sort. It already has its own cult following, critical acclaim, and consistent moments of genuinely great television.
Five stars for the show, one star for the product. Three as an average.
I'm highly upset and disappointed with the decision to release it on DVD-R.
Not worth the price
I am a big fan of the show Happy Endings. I'd be happy to pay a reasonable price for the third season on a physical media. $40 for a DVD-R is not reasonable. If Sony wants to gouge people who would like to be able to watch the show while away from an internet connection, well, I'll just find ...alternate... ways of watching the show when I have the urge and not part with my money.
Frustrating!
$40 for a burn-on-demand release? If the sales numbers on the first two seasons don't justify a proper release for season 3, how can they expect a $40 set to sell many copies at all? You'll get less people than ever buying this one.
I was afraid they weren't going to release S3 at all, but I didn't see this wrinkle coming. I want to wait for a price reduction, but it's pretty unlikely to happen, isn't it?
Five stars for the show.
