I'd love to have the entire series on Blu, but I'm wondering if it's even possible or cost productive.

Yeah I read alot of threads on sites and on here about Buffy. It is possible even with the oldest seasons. It would cost alot. Probably something wouldn't want to bother with until blu-ray is more popular than dvd. They would have to get out all of the original footage and create HD masters from it. The 16MM first few seasons would probably still be very grainy. I would say the 1st season would be the hardest, with 2nd and 3rd a close behind. 4-7 seasons would be no big deal at all since they are 35MM. Same with Spin off Angel seasons 2-5 are already widescreen on dvd so it wouldn't be too much work to get season 1 widescreen. I think both shows deserve it. I just wish Joss didn't like 4x3 so much. He said he made the show for it, but I disagree.
