The way they've released the DVDs is really bizarre. They don't group them into seasons, they group them into arcs. So there's the "Sonny Steelgrave and the Mob" arc and the "Mel Profitt" arc. Fairly intuitive.
The one with Stanley Tucci and Jerry Lewis (!) is called "Prey for the City." And sometimes, if they have room left over on the last disc, they'll toss in a completely unrelated non-arc episode, sometimes from a completely different season.
I've stalled out at the "Dead Dog Records" storyline, because they haven't released those on DVD, even though the next arc has been released.
Confused yet?
Wow, that is very confusing.
They don't group them into seasons, they group them into arcs.
That almost makes sense.

This doesn't.

This makes the kind of sense that is non. Meh.
I still think Roger LoCocco should have had a spin-off. Oh, Roger.
Oh my god, seriously!

The arc thing totally makes sense! They're still consecutive episodes, they're just selling them in half-season sets. It's no different than the Galactica half-seasons sets, except more self-contained.
And the extra ep (that I've seen, anyway) is clearly marked as a bonus episode; they don't just throw it in like it's actually part of that season. DVDs of Magnum (shut up!) do the same thing -- throwing in an episode from a later season as a teaser. Which is how I was able to traumatize some friends by showing them the Sharon Stone 2-parter.

Oo, let's start a rumor that Tim's new thing is the Roger LoCocco show.

Uh-huh. And if you're renting the DVDs and interested in watching the series in order, it's CRAZY. And "Prey for the City" is a stupid name.
But are those one-off eps also in the set for the season they belong in? I've only seen that one set, but I'm not getting why it's confusing.
It would be like putting everything from "Surprise/Innocence" through "Becoming" in a set, and then throwing in "Checkpoint."

I like this idea and wish to propagate its literature. Somebody go edit the Wikipedia entry for William Russ!
Apparently, Emma Stone is in
Superbad.
Huh.
