When I received the notification from Amazon this morning, I was beyond ecstatic, and I immediately ordered sets for myself and my family. Like some others posting here, several years ago I purchased a really crappy full set of seasons -- which, to my profound disappointment turned out to be bootleg and of low production quality (pieces missing, commercials not removed, etc.) So to finally be able to get the REAL Season 2 is wonderful. We can just hope that seasons 3 and 4, which were every bit as wonderful as the first two, will follow eventually.
For those who are wondering what the problem is with putting Everwood on DVD (when so many much less wonderful shows are clogging the shelves) ... the trouble is with the rights to the music used throughout the series.
Rather than using generic studio background musicians, the show's producers chose to use contemporary top-rated artists and their significant hit compositions and performances. The result was worth it for the series -- the soundtrack was fantastic and helped make the show what it was -- but it created a HUGE problem for taking those shows to DVD due to the cost of paying royalties to the artists. I don't know how this problem was solved, but it's likely that the producers are hoping the demand for the DVDs will be worth the trouble they must have gone through to make it happen. (The first season didn't sell overwhelmingly.)
(If this note/review was useful to you, would you click the button to say so, so that it can float near the top and others might see it too? Thanks very much!)
And let's cross our fingers for seasons 3 and 4!!! :)
None.
