I think Parks & Recreation has a good shot seeing as its a first season show and only 6 episodes. 30 Rock would also, well, rock.

Re: The Office: Season 5 --------> 9/8/2009

Now I have to decide whether to get the DVD, which would match the rest of my seasons, or the BD, because it's new tech. Why does my life have to be so difficult!?

Awesome.

The past couple of seasons were some of the only DVDs I'd bought since these new formats launched.

Excellent! Far & away the best comedy on TV today, and Season 5 was just killer! Gotta cancel my Amazon order for the SDs.

Here's my thoughts:

More commentaries = good.

"Who the hell are these people on the commentaries?" = bad.

Seriously though, I haven't even seen some of these names before. They used to be nothing but lead cast and directors and maybe a writer or two. Lame.

Yeah, I'm a huge office fan and of the first three commentaries Novak is the only name I recognize. The names get more familiar after that though.

Gah same dilemma here! Hopefully the BD set isn't much different and just has a blue stripe at the top. If BD is only $10 more though (it is on the msrp) then I don't know how I'll resist it.

If there's another Target exclusive I'll pick it up on release date, but otherwise I'll hold off as well.

Well, just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they should be excluded.

In most of the cases the names you don't recognize are the episodes' writers. I don't care if they're household names or not if they have something interesting to say.

Nice. Now I just hope Best Buy offers a BD version of their gift set this season, assuming they continue with those.

I'm thinking now I'll stick with the DVD version, since I like to put them on my iPod for traveling/working out viewing. Not so easy with Blu-ray.

How damn cool is that? Stephen Merchant in one of the commentaries! No sign of Gervais though...

Ooh good point because I have the BB set for S3 & S4 as well (missed out on 2). I'll stress over this in September, for now I'll let it go.

We'll see. I think if Best Buy does a set, I'll stick with SD 'till the end and get a Blu-Ray "Complete Series".

Anyone's guess as to how much longer they'll go? Rather, how much longer they should go? I've always wanted for them to do the often-rumored MichaelScott/David Brent meeting. Wonder if that'll ever happen.

Uh, an especially pointless message (and the responses that quoted it) has been removed.
