V: The Complete Second Season fails to reach US DVD Sales Chart


The US DVD Sales Chart for the week ending October 23 has been released and there's no V anywhere. To qualify, V or any other title only had to sell around 13600 units within the week: http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd/charts/weekly/thisweek.php.

What a bust.

I've not bought it yet. And I wont buy it either untill the price comes down. They made sure I wouldn't buy it upon release the moment they started making Eric(a) He-Man Evans behave like the annoying alpha female bitch that she is was and will always be. She nearly killed the show completely for me. So it's at a reduced price only for me pal. They will reap what they sowed!.

why would you want to buy a dvd of a series that has no ending?

To show the network that all of those purchases people made show there's enough interest in continuing the saga...

Just like with the fans of the "The New Doctor Who Adventures" books published by Virgin and then picked up by BBC Books when the former's contract expired. When discussing the decline of novel quality online back in the day, I kept getting told by fans that high purchase numbers will show an interest...

So if enough people buy the new V DVDs, the show might get picked up again... in about 6 or 15 years...

Both of the WalMart stores I shop at only have it on regular DVD, not Blu-Ray. I would have bought the Blu-Ray if they'd had it in stock. That means waiting until I buy something else from Amazon so I can add V to the order.

I won't buy it at all? Why the hell should I? What do I want with an incomplete series with no ending?

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Not going to buy them either.
I recorded them from HDTV with 5.1 audio and stored the episodes on an external harddrive as .ts files, who i just stream to my TV when ever i get in the mood for some V.

It isn't the first time ABC has done this to fans. I loved Invasion from 2005 and it promptly got canceled. I did not buy that DVD either. Why should I want to spend hard earned money on something with no resolution? Ridiculous. They abandoned these shows, so screw my spending money on them now. I would have, but not now. I think Invasion is pretty cheap now, but I still haven't picked it up. I just have no desire to revisit a canceled show that leaves you hanging.

ABC doesn't care if you buy the "V" DVDs or not. They didn't produce the show. Warner Bros. TV did. By not buying the DVDs, you are only hurting Warner's bottom line. Not ABC's.

I don't care who it hurts. What I care about is investing in something that has resolution. If there is no resolution, then I don't give a damned about it at all. They need not be bothered to release incomplete series at all.
