It probably won't see any home video release. It's in music rights hell.

That's to say the least

Highly doubtful because of the licensing rights for all of the songs that were used in the series. It would take some company like Shout! Factory to come to the rescue like they did with "Freaks & Geeks."

Unlikely. The amount of licensed music used on the program makes any kind of home video release very difficult. (If only the music industry would realize that having old music playing on TV DVDs and Blu-rays is like free advertising for their back catalog).

The series just used too much popular music, that commands premium licensing fees in the U.S. The only hope would be a release in a foreign market, where licensing may not be such an issue. But the general downturn in the dvd market (notice how many shows have just been stopped on dvd?), this release is looking less and less likely anywhere. Bootlegs or illegal downloads will be the only way to acquire the entire series, unedited.
