* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show has never been released on DVD. Despite the show running for ''seven'' seasons and being modestly popular, its only DVD release was a "Best Of" collection that was released in 2001, and only featured 13 episodes from different seasons (but it's very easily acquirable as a $2 discount DVD collection at Walgreens thanks to extreme overprinting). Not only were no episodes from the second or third season featured, but it didn't bother to include the pilot or series finale. There has been no interest from HBO as far as releasing the series for the longest of time, and it was impossible to find online until the entire series was resurfaced on HBO's streaming services and every other place HBO is available as an add-on in '''''2018''''', many years after the show ended.
