Meh. They can make up new words for all I care, as long as the content is there.

Would anybody really object to Song of the South: Bluebird on the Shoulder Edition? Most people are just happy to have the discs, and probably won't give the sub-title a second thought. The Little Mermaid is so high on my list that if they dropped the Platinum moniker and called the Fish Finger Edition, I really wouldn't give a hoot.

This all seems to be part of some kind of odd BVHE anti-piracy thing anyways: release crap cover art, so advance copies will be spotted as obvious fakes.

Looks to me like those cover arts are just for websites and pre-ordering advertising, best to have a picture of something there than "image coming soon".

Rank in order how you like the artwork of the four shows....

1. Lost
2. Grey's Anatomy
3. Desperate Housewives
4. Commander in Chief

I really like Lost artwork because it matches the first season. :P

1. Lost
2. Desperate Housewives (They should get rid of that Season 2 at the right corner it already says complste second season on the bottom)
3. Grey's Anatomy
4. Commander in Chief (I put this down as the worst cover ever, it's even worse than the Britney & Kevin: Chaotic dvd set)

Desperate Housewive's is a complete wreckage. The double season 2 heading, the extra title right smack in the middle... The rest are pretty good actually! Lost's is my favourite by far!

1.Grey's Anatomy- love the show, love the art, especially with that skyscraper image in the background of the logo.
2.Lost Like the art, not so fond of the show
3.Desperate Housewives LOVE the show, but that cover needs a bit of work done. Take of the friggin' Extra Juicy Edition on the spine and put Season 2 there instead. SEASON 2 is no where to be found on the spine, yet they insist on including it twice on the front cover.
4.Commander-in Chief The only bad thing about the cover is the image of Geena Davis and Donald Sutherland, and that takes many brownie points of it for me. It looks like they're trying to do too much with the image, making it look like the USA, the white house and the flag at the same time? It doesn't look any better when they try to make it more patriotic. The red looks nice though with the complete 1st season at the bottom. Don't like the show that much either. Thank god it's being cancelled.

Play has DH2 for a November UK release

Lost was up for a November release too (sadly, only Pt 1), but this appears to have been pulled (perhaps because it's only just started on TV over here)

Sorry Escapay, I just don't think that it's a very good show. Sure it's scored some brownie points for having a female president, but aside from that, it's a lame copy of The West Wing and 24 (to a certain extent). Besides, Geena Davis bugs the s*** out of me. Her lips look like they'll burst if any more botox is injected into them. Sorry, but it had to be said. No offence intended Escapay. :)

I meant "Blasphemy" in jest, James, but it's nice to see you weren't trying to offend us CiC fans.

Besides, cancellations aren't official until the network upfronts next week when they announce fall schedules. So for a few more days, most of us CiC fans will live in our delusion that our show may see a second season.
