That's excellent news. Now people who don't download or live in border cities to Canada can watch it.

How irritating. I just got them from the UK, because I figured I was never going to see them otherwise. Grrrr.

I still wish they'd release the DVDs sooner, but I understand their reasoning. And yay all around for a US showing of the series! About time!
