Wow. Sorta surprised to see this is coming out on dvd. Thought it was pretty much unilaterally panned. I personally thought the show was god awful, and won't be purchasing. But this does offer hope for some other shows that I wish were on dvd. If they released this on dvd, then Killer Instinct can't be too far behind.

I just hope FX doesn't waste another 3 months of prime Tuesday real estate on this series.

Amen to that. Pushed back The shield, and moved Rescue Me to wednesdays. All for that "show".

I kind of like it, but don't need to see it again on DVD.

And as far as I know, the show IS returning for another season.

Fox has already greenlit a second season.

I never tuned in for the show, but I've been SUPER impressed with the quality programming F/X has been producing. I might have to give it the ole blind by treatment, at least while its on sale first week.

I never liked Friends for the fact that it wasn't that funny and more for the fact that Courtney Cox just looks like a bitch. Matthew Perry was the only person on that show who came off as a likable person.

Anyways enough of my ranting, I got a Co-Worker to tape an episode of this show for me (the pilot naturally) & I thought it was horrible, I'd rather watch Friends.

One of FX's few flops in original programming, which isn't a bad record considering how good The Shield is. I hope they don't push it back again for another season of this show.

I too like alot of shows f/x is doing right now. This show, however is definitely NOT one of them.

Wow, that's a terrible cover -- totally unrepresentative of the show.

I know 20th Century FOX owns this title but how about 30 Days -Season 2 on DVD. Or how about the f/x's The Riches, that show was excellent in my opinion & I never thought I would love a show starring fucking Minnie Driver (her recurring role on Will & Grace was alright). I'm sure more people would rather see those 2 shows come to DVD then Dirt.

For the few of us that thought this was one of the best and most entertaining shows of the year, it's nice to finally read some critical praise: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=31731

Not to get off topic, but The Riches is supposed to be released Jan. 8th, IIRC.

This was quite possibly one of, if not the, worst series to come out of FX. I can't believe they greenlit a second season.
