I doubt it will happen or any price drop for that matter on the ones already out. They sell fairly well and are pretty popular on ebay (when up for auction). His cookbooks have just as much information as his shows. His shows are entertaining, though.....although, I am getting a little tired of him after all these years.

I'd be very surprised if they will eventually release them that way. They seem to be having too much fun doing it by the groupings/collections they've created. Regarding the price they are usually expensive but if you wait you can usually get a little bit of a better deal on them... for instance right now they have a deal for all 27 that have been released so far for $300. Considering when they first come out they are usually $150/set (or $450 total) that's not bad.

possibly becoming a bit over exposed. but it's a vastly different show and closest to what i think the food network needs most: a show about learning how to cook.
regardless, the episodes are way over priced. episodes for the simpsons run, what, 3 bucks each? these go for more than 10.

Eh, with how often they show Good Eats, I can pretty much watch Alton whenever I want. Don't know if I would ever buy DVD's for it. Still, it's a great show. One of the few shows that's not just about cooking, it's about food, and the science behind food. I still Tivo the new eps.

My wife and I really enjoy the convenience of having the shows on dvd. Also the Q&A's after each episode are VERY HELPFUL! 27 dvds is a big load though- they take up a bunch of room on the dvd shelf...

but you have only "30 minutes" for your meal.
you might have to give her a few drinks from being too hyper.
I also agree on the Cook's Tour dvd. Tony and Alton got me hooked to the Food Network. Emeril Who?

But, next to Rachael, Alton's shows comes in a close second for watchability. I learn a lot of great info. Hell, he even makes food shopping fun.
