Blind buy for me, but it's the least risky ever. First, it's only $20 and now there's a money-back guarantee: www.fnlguarantee.com

my guess on the cheap MSRP is probably also priced to get purchases from the people who will be out buying "heroes: season 1" that day. if ppl are in-store to get heroes, and see fnl at a ridiculouly cheap price (i'm guessing it'll be around $19.99 at retailers like bby, cc, and target) that they'll opt to pick it up also because, well, why not? it's critically acclaimed, and a full season for half the price of most tv shows. what a steal.
ugh, i never even thought of that. that's true though. is there a disc count somewhere? i HATE flippers, but i love this show so i'll buy it regardless.
hmmm... i don't recall any press release or info about them splitting the seasons. i know that they ARE doing that for 30 rock, you can buy full season, vol. 1, vol. 2... though i have no idea who would buy just one-half of a season... doesn't make much sense. i guess it's a benefit to "test" out a series, but if you end up liking it, you pay MORE to get vol. 2 later instead of just buying the whole season in the first place.

Seems like a bad business decision. Of course Universal gave Evan Almighty a $175,000,000 million budget so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I cannot see anyone who's even remotely interested in watching this show/buying the DVD requesting the refund. Easily the best and most consistent drama from last season. Very happy to hear about the commentary track. I assume if there will be at least 1, it's gotta be the pilot probably with Peter Berg since he wrote and directed it.

August 28th is the release of Friday Night Lights on DVD. With a low price of $29.99 MSRP, I will be blind buying this due to all the good things I've heard about it from here at DVDTalk.
If you don't like it just go to the website below and get your refund:

Not a bad deal I suppose if you really hate it.

This is set for release on August 28th, 2007. Universal is hoping that people picking up "Heroes Season 1" will see this sitting next to it for $20 and pick it up.

I am kind of surprised they are doing this but really, the show kicks so much ass that if you don't like it, you shouldn't be allowed to watch TV ever again anyway... can't wait for my set to get here - one of the best shows on TV. PERIOD.

I was iffy about this series. I initially saw the pilot and wasn't thrilled and by the time it started airing, I just didn't care to watch more of it. But then everyone (including a friends father who despises most television not on HBO/FX) started to rave about it. I was initially going to netflix the first season, but with $19.99 at best buy, who the hell can I say no?

To get the refund you have to be in the continental United States, and of course Canada gets left behind. 
I haven't seen it, but I might blind buy since I really liked Kyle Chandler from his Early Edition days.
