DVD to NOT include two part pilot!


Ok get this travesty! I was just on the website of Mill Creek Entertainment millcreekent.com (Then search Tenspeed). Under their listing for the show, it says 'Features 12 episodes of the show' and lists every episode but the pilot! There were 14 episodes. Also a graphic for the box set shown in an early online ad has been revised.

See this:

Compared to the box shown on their website that doesn't say 'The Complete Series' on it! I am pissed!

Now I maybe could have lived with some random episode in the middle of the show's run being gone. I would have been upset, but I would have lived.

This is DUMB. Order being cancelled...

Mill Creek's reply:
The rights to the pilot are held by CBS and they were unwilling to negotiate for a royalty in exchange for the use of the program. Due to this unsuccessful negotiation, we are unable to include the pilot along with the remaining episodes. Thank you for your interest in Mill Creek Entertainment and its line of products. Please feel free to contact me with any additional inquiries or comments.

Same here. I bought the boxed set.

I have a VHS recording of the pilot, which I made, but no digital.

Carpe Noctem!
