NBC's Boomtown will find its way to DVD as a 6-disc set on July 20th, complete with cast and crew audio commentary and more.

liked this show when it aired, so if its not too much, i'll pick it up

I'd LOVE to hear the comments about NBC on this..

F'n Zucker..

I am SOOOOOO gettin' this!

Hmmm... I must have been in a cave because I have never heard of this show (I rarely watch network TV). I am getting into watching series on DVD though. Anyone care to summarize it or point me towards a description and/or review?

Fantastic show. It's a police show, sorta like Law and Order, but the hook was that they would tell the story non-linearly. sometimes you would see the same event from several different perspectives. Sometimes the non-linear stories would intersect (think Pulp Fiction). After a while, they sorta quit doing the non-linear storylines (I'm guessing at the request of NBC as J6P was probably getting too confused)
Very well acted, especially by Neal McDonough, who should have won an Emmy last year, IMO. It was created by Graham Yost, who wrote and directed Band of Brothers and brought a few of its cast members (including McDonough) over to this show.

I'll be picking this up.

Sweet! That just made my night.

Great news! This'll be the only way I'll ever get to see all of the episodes with the NBC moving the show around so much at the end.

This is a must get for me

Stupid NBC

This show was great, I loved the "Rashomon style" storytelling. Count me in.

for "season 2", they showed the first 2 episodes, cancelled it because of low ratings( it was on friday at 10, hmmm wonder why) then nbc in december right around christmas, showed the last 4.

Bear in mind that very few episodes actual did the non-linear thing. Still, overall it was a very good show with some moments of greatness.

Fantastic show and a must-buy for me!

Best show I have seen on network television in the last 3-4 years.

Excellent news. Will they be including all of the unaired episodes in this set as well?

maybe i'll be picking this one up if it isn't too expensive. i liked it when it was on TV and was saddened when they canned it...oh well

Ditto. This will likely be my first TV show on DVD purchase, unless the price is absurd.

Excellent news. Can't wait to pick this up!

This is simply AWESOME news. Thanks for making my Monday!

p.s. NBC sucks big time for cancelling this show.

ah shit, might just be season 1 they are releasing. on 5 discs they could easily fit all 18 first season episodes and a handfull of bonus features right?

It has to be both seasons - season 2 had only a handful of episodes.

TVShowsonDVD reported that it's only the S1 episodes (18 in all) and that it's a 5, not a 6 disc set. The remaining 6 episodes I guess (hope) would be released later. It looks like they're pulling a Sex & the City move by dividing up episodes that don't need to be divided.

Bad news - sounds like only S1.

I think we'll be lucky if we ever seen the 6 from S2 on DVD.

Is there anyone that likes this show a lot, but not 'Law And Order"? I am just wondering since I hate Law And Order (all 8 different ones), but I am interested in this show.

I only ask since someone compared Boomtown to Law and Order.

I find it hard to believe that someone would compare Boomtown to Law & Order. I love them both but I think they are very different shows. Law & Order is half-cops and half-DAs, so Law & Order is far more procedural in its approach than Boomtown. Boomtown is almost all-cops. The format of most of the Boomtown episodes is very different from Law & Order. You also get more inside the character's personal lives in Boomtown.
