Why do some blu ray tv shows come with special features and some do not? - Blu-ray Forum

Was wondering why some tv show like the Twilight Zone are packed with special features and some TV shows have no special features? For instance I was thinking of getting the complete series of Quantum Leap on blu ray but was told there are no special features. Yet you have shows like The original Star Trek series that has tons of special features (don't have that set but heard about the special features). As some of you may know from my posts I love special features and that is why I have bought certain movies over others that do not have any special features. For Quantum Leap they could have some episode commentaries thrown in and an interview with Scott Bakula but they don't. Since that show is being released by Mill Creek I shouldn't have been surprised that no special features are included.

It costs money to make/incorporate special features into a release. If the studios doesn't deem that a worthy investment compared to their target price point for the product, it isn't a viable option to include them.

Because they chose to include extras on some sets and not on others. No real mystery as to why.

Because you touch yourself.

Same reason some movies have extras and some don't.

MONEY and what the studio is willing to spend vs. what they expect to get back.

Cause most labels don't have that Rick Ross money.

... OK, Now that I've answered your multiple curiosities...
