I see that Law & Order are coming out with the First Years of the Criminal Intent and the SVU next week. I also see that they have the premiere episodes discs already out. Will the upcoming First Year sets not contain the pilots? And is there a point in getting the premiere discs if I plan on getting the series?

the pilots will be included in the season sets. the seperate pilot discs must have been thrown out there to test the waters. i'm not sure if the discs had any special features (and i'm too lazy to look it up) so whatever extras can be found there may or may not be in with the sets.

Can't wait for Law and Order CI...my favorite show on tv....

Any reviews yet??

Another thing I noticed was that there was no release of Season 2. There's an insert in Season 1 that S2 is coming Spring of 03, and it's already fall with no release.

And worse--no announcement about an upcoming season 2.

not so fast...NBC just bought Universal. this should streamline things. plus i find it very hard to believe that they would be commited to SVU & CI but not the flagship series. i think we'll see an announcement on L&O sometime between now and Q2 2004.
