This may sound like a stupid question, but who wants to buy The War At Home on DVD?

I'm not jumping on the "this shows sucks" and "why is this show still on the air when Arrested Development was canceled!" bandwagon, I'm talking about this: who could sit around and watch episodes of this show more than once? I guess I'm talking about a bigger DVD question here.

There are many shows that I have liked throughout the years, but I just can't picture myself actually buying the DVD sets and watching them in my home again. Examples: Survivor, Law and Order, JAG. The War At Home seems like such a show to me, one that's an OK way to kill a half hour on TV but not one you'd cherish and keep in your home forever on DVD. But maybe it's just me.

This isn't based on any internet rumors or speculation, tips to TV Squad headquarters, or even reading of mystical tea leaves by a strange mystic in Chinatown. Just a thought that occurred to me while I was watching Studio 60's "Nevada Day, Part 2." What if all the stuff in Pahrump with Judge Bebe was a backdoor pilot? Does that seem like something you'd be interested in?

I like the idea for a few reasons. First, John Goodman was very good as Judge Bebe, and it would be nice to see him back on our TV in a weekly gig. And while I think we might have our quota for serialized drama filled right now, there is still room for a quirky ensemble comedy. Pahrump would be the perfect setting for that. Aside from Judge Bebe, the D.A., and the smarter than he seems deputy that we have already met, there are all kinds of directions they could go with the rest of the cast.
