Buffy: Season 5 - December 9th!

...according to Digital Bits.

I don't think a date's been posted yet. If it was, I missed it.

I'm glad they're not waiting until January, like they did with seasons 1 and 3.

I wish they would have waited till January. Too much $ to spend around that time anyway. I'll still be recuperating from my dvd purchases in November.

Then don't buy it until January?

I think this is great news...three season sets in one calendar year...

Season 5 blew except for the musical. I hope I can buy that separately. I'm not holding my breath though.

That was season 6 chief. Five was the one where Dawn shows up.

First Friends is sped up now Buffy. I'm thrilled that we get them sooner rather than later but it's killing me.

Yeah, but I won't get the pre-order discount if I buy it in January. No biggie, I'll probably buy it in December anyway, but would have prefered January since that seems to be a pretty "dead" month for dvd releases.

Great! Now this is the way all (FOX) season sets should be put out.

This is welcome news since I'm suffering from withdrawal ever since I finished Season 4. I can watch it during my winter break.

Good news! Nice to see studios are speeding up the process with these season sets. One week after DS9 S7 so already December's becoming expensive (not as bad as Nov though but there's still time)!

Looks like I was right about Dec getting expensive. According to the Bits Firefly is due on 12/9 as well. Guess Whedon wants his royalty checks all at once.

Alright! Season 5 before the end of the year! I consider this the last truly great season of Buffy. Season 6 and 7 were very medicore. Anyway, The main villan for season 5 is Glory. She is far superior to Adam and the best Buffy "seasonal" big bad IMO. The only thing that brings season 5 down slightly is Dawn; the character I dislike the most in the Buffyverse.

Glory (hot blond chick from Bring it On). I know that Season 4 didn't have the "previously on Buffy" thing at the begining of each episode, and I really didn't care, but the final episode of 5 (The Gift) has my favorite "previously on Buffy," a montage of everything that had happened up till then. I hope they keep it in.

You know, I am so over this show. It was my very favorite for seasons 2-5, and I still watched and enjoyed 6 & 7, but found other programs (Alias, Gilmore Girls, Angel) much more entertaining.

When the show ended, everyone was all "What will life after Buffy be like?" and "What show will we talk about now?" I'm like, "Eh. Buffy."

I still will buy the DVDs, and I still think it was a great show, but season 7 really dampened my enthusiasm.

I hear you. I'm suffering withdrawal already because the show is over. I'm rewatching all of my sets again, but I sooooo want the last 3 seasons so I can complete my collection. I'm glad Fox is releasing this in time for Christmas--the only downside is we'll probably have to wait until next spring for Season 6! Arrgh!

Scroll down past the cover art and the Indy news, to the paragraph that begins, "We've got some new Fox TV street dates for you today..."
