NOTE: the box art (see thumbnail in the attached collage) shows the title as "The Complete 1st Season," but the official announcement from Fox and popular MOD distributor Allied Vaughn show the finalized title of this release as "The Complete Series." This makes sense, as the show was cancelled back in May following it's first and only season. We assume that the box cover art will be updated to show the correct title.
