I asked Gillian Horvath on ATH if the "extras" are the same on the DVD's as
on the VHS tapes on the "Best Of" sets and she said she thinks they are the
same.

I like that I can go directly to the extras without going through the whole
episode first. I like to see the extras and then watch the episode.

I asked Gillian Horvath on ATH if the "extras" are the same on the DVD's
as on the VHS tapes on the "Best Of" sets and she said she thinks they
are the same.
Thanks, to the assorted people who answered, for the info. I made the
mistake of trying to order from the HL Store. Yea, I should have known
better but I thought maybe they had gotten better. They have the `Best
Of' set on sale for $39.99/free shipping so I figured I'd order it since
I wanted the extras.
I called to place the order and before I could say anything they tried
to sell me the seasons sets. From then on it was clear they're just as
bad as when they were Fusion. They said the set is $79.99 and I'd be
charged that even if I ordered it on their site, even though it says
$39.99. Then they tried to sell me the full season sets again and told
me the episodes in their sets are longer then the ones you can buy in
stores because theirs are the European versions. I said they're all the
same which the guy said isn't true. It wasn't worth trying to explain
it to him. I confirmed the $39 price with customer service and called
back to try to place the order again. That time I got someone who said
that is the price but you have to buy two sets to get it. So you're
still paying $79. They of course tried to sell me all the other seasons
and were `creative' in their info about them.
Several calls and sales pitches with creative info later I got someone
who said prices on the web and phone are different. It's too bad none of
the others thought to mention that, if they even knew. I then got another
sales pitch. I mentioned some of the other people tried to give me wrong
information about what's on the sets and they said that one person must
have just made a mistake. I said it wasn't just one, and that almost
every order I've ever placed has had a problem. They, a bit less friendly,
asked why I tried to place this order, kept bugging me about what I'd do
if there was a problem with this order (they missed the fact that there
already was), and then told me that I deserved a problem with the order
because I was expecting there to be one. While it was good for a laugh
it was enough to keep me from buying from them. So it seems things over
there haven't changed. Having the extras from the Best Of set on DVD
would be nice but not if it means dealing with them. Has anyone heard
if Anchor Bay is going to release it?
