OK, Picket Fences really is coming out on DVD

I blogged earlier in the year that Picket Fences - one of the best US dramas of all time, IMHO - was finally coming out on DVD. Well, after many delays - primarily due to music rights I believe - amazon.com now has Season 1 slated for a US DVD release on 19th June.

Predictably, there's no sign whatsoever of a UK DVD release (barely anyone knows the show here in the UK, because it was never broadcast on network TV - you had to have cable/satellite in the 90's to see it). It's this sort of scenario that pushes people to source the show from "elsewhere" - if the DVD box set came out in the UK at a reasonable price, I'd snap it up, but there's zero sign of that happening.
