I just found this website. It sounds a little too good to be true. I'm thinking they are recordings from tv, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Well, I just read the fine print and it seems they are recorded from tv. Here's a quote from the faq:

All episodes are recorded from TV and digitally converted to DVD. These are not studio-produced products like you would find in a store because they do not yet exist. They are exactly what you would have watched on TV when the show originally aired. They are commercial free and in the highest quality available. They contain Episode Menus for easing viewing of the episode you want ,when you want it!

Has anyone ever bought dvd's like this before?

I went ahead and bought the complete series from TV Show Planet. The set includes 14 dvds, which have all of the episodes in order. The majority of them were recorded from Lifetime. They are very good quality (not as good as the studio produced dvds though) and commercial free with interactive menus. Also included is the reunion special "A Nosh to Remember" and episodes of "Living with Fran." I haven't watched them all yet, but it is a very good deal for $27.99 if you want the whole series on dvd. The only disappointment was that it took over a month for me to actually receive them because they used Media Mail. They have changed to flat rate shipping (2-10 days) since then though.
