Nice lists. I think James Gray's list is most in tune with my preferences, lots of quality TV releases there.

It's a Time Life exclusive at the moment - you can only order it from their site, and unfortunately they only ship to the US and Canada. If you can't get it that way, however, Season One on its own is reportedly getting a general release on March 31st Region One, although I haven't seen it listed online yet.

Will the none Time Life sets have the same extras or is that unknown? Thanks

There are a fair few extras on the complete set that are exclusive to it overall but the individual release seems to include most of those directly concerning Season One (actually, the first 30 episodes) - commentaries, scripts, storyboards, etc are all on it.
