I have no idea why Fox does not release DVDs of each of the seasons. There are so many amazing moments on the show and once they're aired it's hard to track them down again. It was nice that Nigel Lithgow did a show on his 15 favorite dances over the last 5 seasons, but there are SO many more dances I would love to see again. If anyone out there, like me, would like to be able to purchase DVDs of each season, please send e-mails and/or persuasively blog about it.
I am not exactly sure why they haven't done this yet because it's a great oppurtunity for them to make lots of $$$$$! Fingers crossed that they eventually do!

I started watching this show since the first season along with Dancing with the Stars and right away I got hooked. Dancing with the Stars however lost me after season 3 but SYTYCD didn't, reason is these are real dancers showing you how the pro does it and how great it looks. These are not mediocre stars trying to bounce back or gain publicity with a reality show. These are dancers with professional training trying to make it in a tough industry. Each dancer struggles with dance styles out of their element but often surprise you with how versatile they are. The variety of dance styles and professionalism surpass Dancing with the Stars by far or any dance show ever out. Judges know what they are talking about. Choreographers are also top of the line. I mean Wade Robson, Mia Michaels, Shane Sparks, Brian Friedman, Mandy Moore, Alex De Silva, Mary Murphy, where are you going to find another show or even a pop star concert with so much talents. It is inspiring and PURE entertainment. I'm so happy this show came out and can make America love and appreciate dance again. If you love dance, you don't want to miss this, I don't care what age you are. It will inspire you to go take a beginners dance class in whatever dance style you are into and have lots of fun! I waited so long for them to come out on DVD and almost lost hope. I am buying every season on DVD.

I agree with KJT: So You Think You Can Dance is the BEST show on TV period! Every year it gets better, and I find myself eagerly awaiting the next season. Season Four is outrageous so far! And there are dance routines from this show that I will never forget - like the Hummingbird and Butterfly from last year, and Mia's dance with Travis and a blonde girl where they used a bench (VERY romantic and sensual!) WOW!! So, PUULLEEEEESe bring on the DVD's!!!!!

I absolutely adore this show and would love to see it put out on DVD, but I emailed FOX and was made aware that this will not happen because of problems with music rights with the songs they use on the show. I just wanted to get this out there for everybody to see to that people were not waiting around for something that will not happen.

American idol has NOTHING on this show!! This is some challenging and true talent!! as in not many people can do it compared to singing! I am absolutely hypnotized when i watch every episode!! Its amazing how skilled and creative these choreographers and dancer are!
I am 25 years old. I once thought my tivo didn't record one episode and I threw a tantrum like a child!! I was almost in tears! No kidding! Well, turns out that it did record and I was one happy and entertained camper.
Oh please please release the DVDs!!! This is the only season I have seen and am dying to see the others!! And I want a collection of 2008 awesome dances!!!

The only reason they have not released the DVDs are because of really expensive music rights which causes real fans to go to the internet and purchase pirated copies, myself included. I fell in love with this show on season 4 and even went to one of the concerts but was heavily dissapointed with the lack of merch on this show. What people need to do as fans are to continue writing reviews and public blogs like this to show we're willing to pay the money to have an official digital copy of one of the most entertianing shows ever made! The fact that it's on Amazon to comment on proves they're thinking about it, write in!

This is by far the best show on TV. When my friends ask "Is it funny?" I tell them - No, its just incredibly talented professional dancers performing amazing routines. It's art, not comedy.

I have no idea why we can't buy the videos of the individual performances immediately after the show like they allow you to buy the songs from American Idol. It probably has something to do with the rights to the music that they dance to. I love these dancers. I want to financially support them. I want to buy their performances. I want to buy a DVD of their performances at the end of the show. I want to be able to put on a DVD and relive their best performances. I want to buy the individual performances so that I can set up a playlist on my computer to relive the experience. GIVE ME ACCESS!!! I AM WILLING TO PAY!!!!

When this product actually exists, I'll be happy to reevaluate my review. Until then, the So You Think You Can Dance DVDs will continue to suffer from the serious detriment of not existing.

I know music rights are probably the reason why this is being held up, but come on! You can watch all of them already on YouTube for free in much crappy quality. Make a deal already and bring this to DVD. Unlike Idol, these performances deserve a longer shelf-life.

Besides the wonderful entertainment, you, the viewer get to learn about dance from the excellent commentary, praise and critcism. And while that is happening, the replay pertaining runs.

These dancers are NOT like the Dancing with The Stars Hasbeens who have never danced in their life. These people are authentic dancers, and that is where this show becomes entertainment and not a joke.

Hot Tamale Train-Mary!
The judges are excellent, except you can take only so much of the screaming, yelping, yapping, Hot Tamale Train-Mary! But aside from that she provides good criticism. And what I like about the judges is that they were past dancers/choreographers. They know their craft.

Dance Numbers
These young dancers have toned bodies, excellent dance lines, experience, grace, style, etc. They perform to music we know and like. And they are under the instruction of famed choreographers, which is a huge contribution. The dance numbers are amazing! Some are just so beautiful you just gaze at every step they take, every move they make, every breath they take...oooops, wrong song!!

Versatility and Variety
With a range of styles the choreographers bring, we get to see all styles of dance, jazz, ballroom, crimp, hip hop, waltz, contemporary, etc., etc. What a showcase of dance styles, costumes, hairstyles and routines.

Professional Dance Groups and Entertainers too!
What I really like is that some speciality groups dance, or the cast does fantastic group dances. The musical entertainers enhance the show.

Can't wait for more....Rizzo
