[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 182097, member: 36"] I'd say most people like to collect DVDs already own them too, a complete set or whatever seasons they liked, so they're trying to get a new audience at a time where there's little buzz around the show outside of the fan communities. They already did this drip release of DVDs back when they first released them (2004-2011 I believe), then they released the box set with the cast pictures on it, then they re-released that box with new art (that ugly cash) and now they're re-releasing again. I could understand releasing a new set in 2012-2015 to capture a TNT audience who either remembered the original show and hadn't watched it in years, or had never seen it but were interested. Now the market is smaller and they might have to market it more aggressively to capture fans who don't already own a set. On the topic of DVDs, I like streaming but I love owning my own copy of media because once you've bought it there's no ongoing investment. Look at how many streaming services there are now and how quickly one provider's rights expire and another's take over or the show disappears altogether. I believe Dallas is actually available to stream on Amazon Prime though for people who didn't necessarily want to buy the discs, so there's the best of both worlds there. [/QUOTE]
