Just because a show is on the telly in HD doesn't mean they can slap it on a Blu-ray and ship it out. The bit rate of video on Blu-ray discs is several times higher than that of HDTV and must be encoded seperately. Also, HD-DVDs were usually encoded in 720p or 1080i, one of many reasons they lost the format war, so they can't use that either. Warner Brothers is currently in the process of remastering seasons 1-5 for Blu-ray release. No word has yet been given as to a release date but be patient people. The last son of Krypton's early years WILL be on Blu-ray sooner than you think.
