But what was too rich for TV is a work of art on DVD.  DVDs have shown that a TV show doesn’t need to stay on the air in order to have an impact.  I wonder if in the future we’ll see straight-to-DVD TV shows; 50-hour movies from creators and distributors who want to cut out the networks as middlemen.  The way Marlo cut out Prop Joe.
