I know physical media is basically obsolete by now, but I love having a physical copy of my favorite shows and not being dependent on streaming services to watch them. Honestly, I would have cancelled Netflix a long time ago and taken a break from it if I had any other (legal) way to watch Bojack. It is my comfort show and I watch it whenever I feel sad or don’t know what else to put on.

I also would really loved the audio commentaries on the set they released and wish there was more material and interviews with people behind the scenes. :(

    I had to cancel all of my subscriptions this past year due to lack of work resulting from the WGA/SAG strikes. Not having access to TV has been a really weird experience. Bojack and Disenchantment are the only shows I really find myself yearning to watch. I too would love to have access to them outside of streaming.

    I’ve got every season except 6 on Emmy consideration DVDs. Desperately seeking season 6.

      Yep, hire an artist on fiver to make the DVD inserts and disc art then burn them onto a DVD using software that will also let you create a menu. It’s a bit of work, but it can be done

        My partner did this for me for my birthday one year and made sleeves for the DVDs with the official Bojack Horseman calendar. It’s honestly one of the best and most thoughtful gifts I have ever received! I still have a netflix sub but it is so good to know we have the series on DVD.

    That was, and I don’t say this lightly, worse than 100 September 11ths.

    It’ll continue to be that way until Netflix begins to hemmoragh money. I literally only keep it around for Bojack rewatchs and a handful of other series. If they released it on Blu-ray I’d buy it for whatever it cost and unsub immediately and they know that.

    I agree. I’m about to cancel my Netflix subscription and the only show I really care about on there is BoJack. I have seasons 1-2 on DVD, and I know I can pirate the rest, but I want to be able to watch them on my TV. Guess I’ll have to re-learn how to burn DVDs.

    A friend of mine really loved Exurb1a’s (YouTuber) videos but wanted to stop supporting him because it came out he was a bad person, or something. It took me an entire day, but I managed to download some free DVD-creation software and burned his videos onto disks for them. Had a little menu and everything. I imagine you could do the same with BoJack, even if it’d be al ot more work!

    If someone who works for netflix is reading this thread, I have a suggestion. If you don’t want to make dvds, give people the option to buy digital versions of the episodes, DRM free. You would need to be subscribed the netflix in order to do this, and if they’re only sticking around for one show, then netflix will end up making just as much money from that person. I don’t want to buy bootlegs because ultimately, I’m not entitled to content not released officially. But netflix and other companies are passing up a lot of money from people who like to own their favorite content.

    Netflix has cancelled a number of popular shows, including Shadow and Bone and Inside Job, and it may be that if BoJack was on DVD they’d lose a bunch of subscribers mad about their shows ending.

      This is the first I’ve heard that Shadow and Bone got canceled. Here I am like a dipshit waiting for a new season.

      I mean, Bojack and the British Baking Show are the only things I care about on Netflix. If I get Bojack on physical media, I’m dropping that subscription like a hot potato.

        It’s crazy you’re paying $20 a month to watch a show that ended four years ago. Not blaming you, just the situation. I ended up just downloading Bojack and canceling Netflix last year
