Well, there have been single-disc releases. But that's all so far.

Disney owns Saban and thus owns the X-Men and Spider-Man libraries.

Disney is very, very hesitant to put out their own television shows on DVD, much less ones from a company they acquired. The financial disaster that was Gargoyles Season 2 Part 1 seems to have permenantly left a bad taste in their mouths about releasing season sets of fan-favorite action shows.

Hell, they won't even put out Power Rangers or Digimon season sets, and those are practically a license to print money.

Even having read of that before, it is still really foolish (of Disney to be doing).

They've recently been putting out Disney Afternoon cartoons, which had included Gargoyles - til that 'lesser sales' trouble.

And had released the '90s Fantastic Four on DVD.

But decide not to do such a vast amount of great shows, which would be grabbed-up in at least good amounts.

It's just awful we aren't getting them! :cry:

Disney are finally releasing box sets of Power Rangers, starting with four volumes of Operation Overdrive containing all 32 episodes. If there a success, they may finally release the older seasons

Yeah, I had read of that. And am quite pleased a Power Rangers series will finally have a *Complete* release (instead of lacking a bunch of episodes, like the other PR series they've put on DVD).
