So when you go to Mr. Video, Video Town etc you expect VHS tapes on the shelves?

VHS - Video Home System
VCD - Video CD
DVD - Digital Video Disc (Initially)

They all do video

Nowadays people refer to DVD's, not Videos. Unless you're in your 70's....

All three seasons are on DVD, though Amazon UK doesn't show them.

isoHunt shows all three available as torrents.

Thanks - I don't use torrents but in this instance it's worth the learning curve.

Despite what the RIAA/MPAA say, if they don't want to make the stuff available for purchase what alternative do you have ?
