That's a funny idea for a release, and also amazingly stupid and useless.

wtf could've at least made them all the first seasons.

Kinda like the "play all" function on one of the Aqua Teen DVDs that plays all the episodes on the disc simultaneously, all the screens tiled on your display and the sound overlapping.

Yeah, this has got to be to get fence sitters to take the plunge. I've already got most of the ones we like already.

The pilot disc is the only reason to consider this one.

That was my first thought. My second was, what's the point of this release?

Beyond the mind-numbing arbitraryness of it all...

an Adult Swim collection with no Venture Brothers? Madness.

This. Would be a nice blind buy for me if it was.

Maybe they're just trying to clear out the warehouse a bit. Looked around to see what they still had a lot of left lying around.

They should retitle this Adult Swim Grab Bag.

Agreed. I don't know what they were thinking with this one, really.

Dang, I want that pilot disc. Korgoth and Welcome to Eltingville were better shows than ninety percent of what [adult swim] has picked up for full series.

QF mother-frakking T. They have to realize people are going to do the "b" word to that pilot disc.

What I don't understand is, aren't all of the included volume/season releases two-discs each? So is it actually a 13-disc set, or is it not the complete season/volumes, or did they perhaps put double-sided discs in it?

Anyway, I am kind of interested in that pilot disc, although I wish they would have included the two Xtacles episodes. And didn't Perfect Hair Forever have a full series, not just a pilot?

It's not leftover stock. These seasons were originally two disc sets, so to get them all down to seven they're going to have to repress them. I'd assume a flipper for each series plus the pilot disc.

I want to buy this just for Korgoth. I STILL have that saved on my DVR years after it aired.

Seems pointless, but then again this is Adult Swim. Leave it to them to do something silly.

It's nice to have Korgoth of Barbaria on DVD finally, but I'm not buying all that crap just to get it. I hope they release it separately. That's one show that should've been picked up.

Amazon now has their listing up, and it has '13pc' in the title, which means it will be 13 discs. This makes much more sense, since it means it will just be the current two-discs sets put as-is in the box. Seeing as how the box looks so big, I'm wondering if the box will just contain the current releases in their current packaging.

I was just thinking the same thing. Like a sampler platter. Then people may get hooked on certain ones and want to get the rest of the seasons.

I would prefer some complete sets of finished shows like Birdman and Sealab

I would bet big money that that is exactly what's inside.

I also agree this would make a wonderful blind-buy if it was indeed the first season sets.

It just makes no practical season to release something like this with second and third seasons discs for some of hte content.
