....from Netflix? Does anyone know why the DVDs aren't the same ones that they sell in stores?

How are they different?

they have the same episodes, extras, menus, commentary on the pilot, etc. but they're not double-sided like the ones in the stores (they say that on a label that's on the white "sleeve" that they're in) and they say on them FOR RENTAL ONLY. NOT FOR RETAIL SALE.

Ok, That last one was to be expected but I've never used Netflix so I wasn't sure about any other differences.

Maybe they're easier to rent this way, other dvd sets are like this too. Double sided are more likely to get damaged easier. Leave It To Beaver is also like this as well.
