I have eight seasons of this show on DVD. I don't know if I can stomach the cost of replacing them with Blu-ray releases, even if it's one by one. Widescreen for season one is a draw, however. I never understood why they didn't go back and re-release it on DVD with anamorphic widescreen. Then again, I'm still surprised that Universal never put out an anamorphic version of the first season of House.

They could sell a season of cropped episodes on five discs instead of six discs for the same price.
