Every thing I've seen on the news about this makes it into some kind of joke. It's not. I'm not going to pontificate, but this quote from Manny Coto says volumes, IMNSHO....
"I've always wondered why it's okay for football fans to go to a football game with their faces painted and sloshing beer around and that's considered old fashioned American fun. Yet someone dressing as a Klingon is considered weird. You don't see Star Trek fans after a convention running through the streets and turning over cars or breaking windows in a drunken haze. Star Trek fans are benevolent optimistic and incredibly intelligent."

Clarification: TAS was/is not a VHS only release, there is a very nice laserdisc box set. Makes much better transfers to DVD-R that VHS :)
