[edit] DVD releases
A DVD release of the series was originally announced for 2006 but was later canceled due to the poor condition of the masters. In 2006 a Warner spokesperson said of the DVDs: "They were pulled because significant remastering work needed to be researched. We are exploring adding them back to the schedule next year." There has been no news since, but fans all over the world hope they do.[1]
