Here's something that will excite fans that don't already own them, and anger those that do; Universal is combining the first and second seasons of
Northern Exposure into one set... for a suggested price of $59.98. These 15 episodes were initially sold in two sets for $59.98 each, which means many people paid double the price for this set. The contents and bonus material will be the same, however this set will contain 4 single-sided discs instead of the double-sided discs that were released in the first sets. This is another sign that Universal is (finally!!) moving away from the problematic DVD-18s (double-sided, dual-layered) discs that consumers have been complaining about. All the bonus material from the previous seasons appear to be intact in this rerelease. Please don't ask about an exchange program to trade the old sets in for the new one; it's very unlikely the studio would do that. Look for the new set on
May 9. Here's a look at the artwork:
