Buffy DVD

[ #5777 ]
Jenine returned from shopping yesterday with the Season 2 Buffy DVD collection. Happy me!

Speaking of movies, I can bring "Meet the Feebles" to YAPC if anyone wants to watch it during the conference.

      I should know, I did not buy season 3 and 4 before flying to the US for the summer ;--(

        Those kind of contracts must be very different over here then. Currently we have BBC showing series 2 of Buffy, Sky showing series 3 of Buffy and Channel 4 running the first terrestrial showing of Angel series 2.

        In the UK (as demonstrated with Angel series 2) it's very common for DVDs to be released before it's been shown on terrestrial TV.

        Sometimes it's even more extreme. I noticed a DVD of the first two episodes of series 9 of the X-Files in the shops over the weekend. That doesn't start showing in the
