It's becoming clear that if you plan on buying every season of a TV show, at least the more popular ones, you might want to wait a couple of years (if you can wait, that is). They're coming out with more and more "complete sets" and if you buy the sets individually you're probably paying more (and missing out on some extras, though that's not always the case).

Here's another one. CBS/Paramount will release a complete set for Star Trek: The Next Generation on October 2, to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary.

Fans have been waiting for this news for a long, long time, and now it looks like it's going to happen. Paramount has released artwork for the DVD set of the acclaimed Star Trek: The Animated Series. They haven't announced a release date for the set yet, but just the fact that it's coming out is cause for joy.

ST: TAS was one of those rare cartoons that managed to live up to its live-action counterpart. Maybe it was the fact that they used most of the voices from the original series, but it was also because they didn't dumb down the plots. It was a rather intelligent cartoon. Hell, even the theme song was great.
