The TV to DVD conversion continues as old and new favorites hit the market. This week 1980s classics The A-Team and The Dukes of Hazzard hit the street, as well as the quirky time-travel drama, Quantum Leap. Upcoming releases include Knight Rider, Wonder Woman, and the long-awaited Seinfeld. You can even get your hands on cartoon classics like The Jetsons, The Flinstones, or Jonny Quest. Or 1960s classics like Gilligan’s Island, Lost in Space, or Green Acres. You can even get a laugh with off-beat comedies like SCTV, Northern Exposure, or the quirky and quickly canceled Freaks and Geeks.

You get the idea: TV is on DVD. Cable no longer has a stranglehold on the rerun market. Cough up $45 and you can watch a season of your favorite series on your own time, with no commercials, as often as you want. No more waiting for sweeps week for plots to boil or planning dinner around the TV schedule. DVD is making on demand TV possible.

The DVD revolution raises a lot of questions about the future of television. DVD buying habits have already brought one series back from cancellation (Family Guy). You also have to wonder about the future of commercials as consumers get used to TV without them — which raises the question of how the money is made. It’s also a technological quandry as DVD became a widely accepted platform in record time. How long will DVD last, and how long before piles and piles of 6-disc sets overcome America’s family rooms and someone develops a device that will do to DVDs what the iPod did to CDs?

In the meantime, cancel my cable TV and bring on Buffy.
