Incomplete TV series on Blu-ray

No official news, but you can bet that they will eventually make it to BD.

Here is the problem with releasing earlier seasons of series like 'Lost' and 'Smalville.' People who have been collecting these on DVD prior to ANY season announced on BD will not want to spend another $70+ to double dip for them. As such, the studios (for the meantime) are catering to those collectors who want the best and don't care about similie on their shelves. Personally, I'm still going to buy the DVDs for 'Smallville' because I want them all to match. However, the other side of the coin is that the more they sell of a series season on BD, they more likely that they will prioritize previous seasons for BD treatment. As is, the production lines are already being pushed to the limits with all of the new content being released and the older TV content just isn't a surefire enough gamble for profitable venture.

So, take it as you will... Buy the BDs that ARE available to do your part in telling the studios that you want more, or wait for an eternity for the BD market to catch up with the DVD market.
