i know its a dumb question but what do you think?
I mean NBC is doing it for SNL, I wouldn't mind watching Classic Conan, i loved to see it, and especially since i been a fan since 2002, I never really got to see the rocky first years, and Andy years : )

No it isn't possible. In 2007 the show "Heroes" was one of the best Season DVD sellers for Season One. They were probably averaging about 15 million weekly viewers. They ended up selling roughly 1.5 million dvd's (I'm assuming a 'unit' is one). (http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd/charts/annual/2007.php)
Conan has about 2 million viewers at the most per night. Which means that at the most maybe no more than a few hundred thousand would sell.
Plus would you be willing to pay $240 for a season?
You could probably fit 4 episodes on a dvd. lets make it 5 however. With 200 hundred shows a season. That comes out to 40 dvds. Usually they sell at about $6 bucks an episode ($30/5) which would bring it to $240. They would probably double or triple that considering no one is going to buy it though.
The only way I would see season's be released if there was some sort of a option plan. When TV/Internet come together I could see network setting up accounts where you can pay and get access to past shows and such.
i understand, i like the last idea, i hope that happens, you can pay for curtain episodes, i guess so, i dont know, do you think they might re-run Late Night on NBC or another differnt network at least?

Also if they were to have the musical guests of every episode, then music licensing issues come up. They would have to work out a deal with every record label for every artist for every song performed on the show. That is why it took so long for SNL DVD sets to come out. For 200 episodes a season, the legal department would be jumping out the windows.

Blu-Ray solves your episodes per disc problem. If they trimmed out the musical guests, the commercials (which is a given), and the credits, we would have significantly shorter episodes and be able to fit many more on a disc. And if it's a dual-layer Blu-Ray.... Totally possible.
Now, will you have the time to watch all of the episodes? Haha, that's another question.
I think at the very least they should release a "best of" collection for each year. This could be like four discs per season and have the highlights. You could cut out a musical guest if it becomes a copyright issue, as it did with SNL.
BluRay could fit a ton of stuff but who knows if NBC thinks its profitable to put everything out there. I don't trust NBC when it comes to making smart business moves.
I think what they should do is simply store all the archived episodes somewhere on a server and let people stream them off of the site. That way they can make money from advertisements off of those who take the time to watch it.
I will try!! x D

I think they should do volumes..but in order..not best of sets.
However, it would never happen.
Same for game shows, which actually makes sense because there's no much rewatchability.
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden - 8/10
Lords of Dogtown - 8/10
You people are talking like technology isn't going to upgrade in the next 10-20years. I'm sure you'll be able to fit 200+ episodes of a 45 minute (roughly the time w/o commercials) program onto a small disc of some kind sooner or later.
