Wednesday 5 May 2004, by bassbeast : It seems obvious to me.Take a show like "tru calling" or "angel" that we fans love but isn’t doing the kind of numbers that the suits would like,put out a "special dvd-only"two or three episode release and see if the sales to the already installed fanbase justifies more episodes.That way the tv execs could say they have given the show a chance and the fans would have a chance to put their money where their mouth is.I personally would be the first in line for a new angel or tru calling "special" dvd only release.This would also give them a chance to try out spin-off ideas at little or no cost(ripper,anyone?)by using the exsisting sets thus lowering costs.Put a few commercials on the front of the dvd(like everyone seems to be doing these days)and you’ll see that the so called "risk" would be very little compared with be able to cater to a neglected market and when you figure in the coupons you could put inside to market "special limited edition merchandise" and what you have is a cash cow just waiting to be milked.These comments are an anwser to this article : Should genre shows go direct to DVD ?
