I gotta ask.
How soon after a show is DONE does a dvd set usually come out?
I've never followed a show to completion like The Shield, and I'm curious if it takes the usual year or more to hit the shelves or is it quicker since they don't have to use it to pimp the following season.
I just had the thought that it would be so excellent to unwrap season 7 for Christmas.

Well I figured since all the eps are already ready for broadcast that means they're cut, shot, done and done. So I was kinda hoping Sony would put them out rather quickly after the season wraps.

Well, it should be less than a year, now that there's no next season. I'd give it something like 4-6 months. That's at least how the HBO shows did it with their final seasons, of course we've never seen an FX final season DVD release before, so they could go about it differently.

Our previous model was just before the next season starts, but we don't have that to go on anymore. So, there's no way to know when the suits will decide to release it--I'm sure their best and brightest marketing people are working on some kind of optimization software. Christmas does sound like an excellent guess, and plausible because of the length of time that has passed since the finale was filmed.

I was really surprised to see the final season of The Wire come out when it did. I'd love to have Season 7 of The Shield under my Christmas Tree.

All I know is that the season seven set better have special features like whoa.....I'm talking a whole disc devoted to behind the scenes stuff......commentary on every episode. And if the powers that be are smart they will have it out by Christmas time because it would make a lovely gift for any shield fan.
