Uh, yeah. If you noticed, the first season DVD had 9 episodes on it, that tells you that maybe - just maybe - they were testing waters. They probably know that season 3 had a ton of episodes, and if you say there are 50, then that's a lot. So think about it.
Alien Quadrilogy = 9 discs = 80 bucks here in OKC
X-Files season sets = 6-7 discs a set = 100 bucks here
OK alsop note that Family Guy season 1&2 combined onto 3 discs totaled 27 episodes. Now where Ninja Turtles season 3 would fall in would most likely be, 6 discs. That's 9 episodes spread across 5 discs, and the other 5 to make 50 eps would be on disc 6 with special features.
I bet if this sells and the second season comes and it sells, this configuration will be used in season 3. Then again, I will be sorely dissapointed if LGF/FHE don't continue the trend by releasing more seasons. There's no logic behind releasing one season, with only 5 episodes and call it quits. They opened a Pandora's Box, and now would not be a good time to close it. I'm sure lot's of people would be angry that they got started on something that won't get finished. Once I buy a season set of a show I like, I expect them to finish it. My DVD collection speaks for that -
