You could just tape the episodes, they are on all the time.

CN don't like box-sets.

How'd you come to that conclusion? How about the Adult Swim Collection, which consists of at least ten boxed sets?

Just because Cartoon Network doesn't get many 'original series' DVDs on the market doesn't mean that they don't like to release them. They just try to market what will earn them the most money.

And, the same thing goes with boxed sets. Why, just later this year, they'll (hopefully hold true to their statement and) release Samurai Jack: Season Two, Hi Hi PuffyAmiYumi: Season One, and Megas XLR: Season One.

I used to tape shows, but I would lose track of everything on a tape (because I"d just leave it in the VCR and record anytime ANYTHING I felt the need to "preserve" came on), and of course, they don't last forever and the quality is low.

If they did come out, I'd be skipping the first season or two. The show didn't find itself until after it split off from Con Carne and some funnier writers hopped aboard.

Eh, I'd buy it eventually. Only because I'm such the Cartoon Network fan. Although, I need to start on the Adult Swim collection.

UK doesn't get Adult Swim and thus I wouldn't have looked into the Adult Swim collection.

But, even then, you have to think outside the box that is the UK.

But, even then, you have to think outside the box that is the UK.I've never searched for anything Adult Swim because it's totally unknown in Europe and I often forget it exists.

I like Grim and Mandy. Funny characters with good voices. I just can't stand Billy and his "nosepicking" humour.:p

I can't say I watch the show on a regular basis, but I can say that I'm very fond of it. It one of the few newer CN origionals I actually like. I love the various parodies thrown into it, namely the DBZ one. And of course, the musical episode, which I have yet to record.

Well Samurai Jack and Megas XLR are the kind of shows that have fan bases that buy DVDs, like the case with Invader Zim, which didn't have a fan base that did much for ratings or brought in ad revene, but they were the kind of people who buy DVDs, which made the sets a good choice. I'm not so sure if Billy and Mandy has the kind of fan base that would buy DVD box sets of it, I most certainly would, but I can't say I'm in the majority. But then again, considering Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is getting a box set all bets are off, so it wouldn't be too crazy.

Nick by itself wouldn't have released the Invader Zim DVDs - it took an anime company convincing Nick to let them do the work to do it.
