No Full Series DVD Release - Only A Measly FOUR Episodes!

Apparently MGM has decided NOT to release all 13 half-hour episodes in a "The Complete Series" box, instead choosing to bilk us fans by releasing only FOUR episodes at the inflated price of $20! Here's the relevant portion of the press release that TVShowsOnDVD.com just posted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Spaceballs: The Totally-Warped Adventures DVD includes four full episodes as well as "intermissions" and will be available for $19.98 U.S. / $21.98 Canada.

This is one of the stupidest decisions EVER! The series only had a mere 13 half-hour episodes. They could easily put the whole series on two DVDs, even including these new "intermissions", for which $20 would be a fair price. Yet they're choosing to put only 1/3 of the series on one disc for that price. If they were to release the other nine episodes this way, it would cost $60 for just 13 episodes.

I was all ready to buy this set, but if it's not the whole series for that price, they can forget about it.
