   One reason: Producing such a small number in a professional way/quality,   
   on a par with industry standards, would be prohibitively high. Disney   
   would price themselves right out of the market of the few 1000 (if we   
   are that many) adult PR fans who'd be willing and able to pay for box   
   sets. This is not some home-burned disc, which are comparatively cheap;   
   instead it would mean using professionals and professional facilities.   
   Salaries and rental costs alone would be too high.   
      
   As I said before, I'd be willing to buy PR season box sets if they ever   
   came out, but prices would HAVE to be reasonable. There are a number of   
   more mainstream series out there which I'm NOT willing to pay for   
   because they're just too expensive. (Buffy was just about right -- and   
   that was 22 one-hour eps per season.)
