Television fans are a breed apart: once we love a series, we want to get all that we can about it which is why tv series boxset are such a great gift idea. Usually, those boxset will come out a few months after the end of a season, and so on so forth. In fact, one of the most frequently asked question I get is: Where can I find the show on DVD? Is it out yet? (okay, technically that's two questions). Invariably, my answer has been that Amazon Japan has the first season available in a boxset but that's basically the extent of it. BUT...
This answer has changed because Sue Thomas was finally "limited-released" on DVD earlier this week. While this is a sure improvement over not having any kind of DVD at all, the new DVDs only have 11 of the 19 episodes of the first season and are meant as a testing ground of sort to gauge the interest of release the rest of the series on DVD. So basically, if there aren't enough sales generated, 11 episodes of season 1 is all we'll get.
This means every fan out there should consider buying the series to make sure we get the rest as well. At $19.99, the price is reasonable enough to warrant the buy. And what a nice gift as Christmas is just around the corner? ;)
UPDATE
As of the beginning of May, the rest of the series will be released on DVD to fans in North America. The DVD will be in widescreen format (16:9) and closed captioned. Fans who've already bought the first release mentioned above (or those who buy it before May 1st) will get a limited time discount on the price of the complete series (boxed set 2 through 5). |

I think if the demand is there, it's quite possible they'll distribute it at large seeing as the show aired in many countries.

What do you mean "jipped," Abbey? Has anyone else ordered from TVdvdMania & had issues? Is this, for sure, a counterfeit site??? I want the box set!!!
Really like your site btw
Hope this answers your question and helps you make your decision.
You can realize the impact this series had on people because 5 years later, we're still holding on - waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Thanks you for spreading the word on that excellent show to your friends and family!

There is a counterfit DVD ring that sells the complete set already. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! We almost made the same mistake. I would suggest making SURE that the source you use is selling the OFFICIAL product. The counterfit guys tape the shows off of the TV and burn the discs with their computers. These items ship from China even though the website will not tell you that. One person/group operates under several alias business names - DVD home store, planet DVD, tvdvd.com, and probably others too. Fake, fake, fake! And illegal as well.
I am finding so many kindred spirits here! Sue Thomas and horses? You just described my life!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
please come back sue thomas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
