Isn't this show already out on DVD?

That's a rhetorical question, since I bought it years ago.

Why the new release, when there are so many worthy shows that haven't had any sort of DVD release?

Edit on 4/4 - my apologies to everyone for not noticing before now that this message has posted multiple times due to a glitch of some sort. The repeats have been deleted.

Even though you asked it rhetorically I'll answer anyway...

Yeah, "Sports Night" had a complete series release twice.


I don't know if the first edition is still in print, that's the Walt Disney release from 2002.

Then Shout! released "The 10th Anniversary Edition" in 2008.



I don't know why Shout! decided to release the show individually. I would assume that they have plans to put a Season 2 release out as well.
