According to TVshows on DVD, Universal is re-releasing the Hercules: the Legendary Journeys dvds, but possibly without the five TV movies that started the series or any of the commentaries and other extras of the original release; season 1 is going to be three single-sided discs, which really sounds like...not a lot.

The original Anchor Bay dvd releases are now out of print, but easy to find on Ebay, and it seems like those would still be a better deal, if you don't mind that the sets are bulkier than the new slim-line ones.

ETA: Universal is also re-releasing the Xena: Warrior Princes dvds. Not a lot of detail yet, but this set also has less discs than the previous Anchor Bay release. I still regret not picking up all the Xena season sets when they were on a 2-for1 sale at DeepDiscountDVD...

On one hand, I like these new "slim set" re-releases of things because I can get shows I couldn't really justify buying before. OTOH, it does kind of suck for those who wanted all the extra featury goodness.

Yeah, it does seem a shame that the extras aren't there -- the ones for HtLJ were a lot of fun, the blooper reel alone was worth the money for me, and I think they pulled out the stops even more for Xena.

On the other hand, not everybody cares about extras, and you're right, at least this way people can buy the dvds at a reasonable price.
