So what is a full list of material missing from the previous season sets?

*DTS soundtracks
*Commentaries (on how many episodes?)
*"Last week on.." and "Next week on.." segments

What else went missing?

but the identical cousins and all the other stuff were homages to films -and grounded in truth while still winking at the audience. The later stuff was just thrown at us without any smarts -Windom was a genius, but we were never shown the machinations of his brain, we never were shown scenes where he was actually outwitting anything. Instead we're just told it -and never discover anything.

Humanmedia, the Log Lady introductions are the only extras included on previous sets. Meaning the Frost and cast interviews (and everything else) on the S1 box are missing, as well as the intereviews with directors and more on the S2 set.

Audrey, did you see the torrent post?

That was more of a worst case scenario. Depends on your connection, and even more importantly, the connection of the person on the other end (and the number of people on the other end(s)). A full DVD is a lot of data; it's more than 40 times the size of a standard mp3 music album. Leaving the computer to download when you're not using it and at night will save you a lot of time.

I dont have my copy yet, but as far as i know they all have these two errors!
You need to sign up or already be a member, but theres a fair sized thread over at IMDB.com talking about this too!

Its pathetic if such a silly mistake wasnt checked before publication began, I wonder if other regions (2 and 4 have the gold box now right?) also have the same issues.

If this is the case it will be a major disappointment for me, as I am one of those that does not like the package design at all, add on a faulty disc set and :cry:

No, in fact, I will be very angry, as I wasn't sure about this set and went on reviews, that, if this is the case, obviously did not review the product being sold to us. I am going to check my set now.

Mark84 there is no sign of any region 2 as far as I know.
