In the old days, any classic series coming to DVD was big,
big news. Now it's basically taken for granted with every season of every new show, and most of what's left goes to Archive collections. Its purpose had to be served sooner or later.
(Although it's almost like, after Batman '66, their work was done...)
Me, I miss AnimeonDVD.com, but it was a wilder time in the early 00's, when something coming out on DVD was the difference between it being culturally remembered at
ALL.
And when the heck did jumptheshark.com disappear? Oh, maaaannnnn....!!!(
JumptheShark was reportedly bought-out by TVGuide, back in the 00's, and they pretty much ran the trademark into the ground ever since.
Seemed like you couldn't turn on TVG's mid-00's cable channel without seeing another list of Cousin Oliver, Rosanne's lottery ticket, and that kid who eventually showed up on the milk carton on "Married With Children".
