Well, here's my take on it.  Of course you're right in stating that every fan 
should buy the DVDs.  Why?  Because we know it's a great show.  In fact, EVERY 
person who buy TAGS on DVD already knows it's a great show.  How do they know 
this?  (Pay attention, this is important): They know it's a great show because 
they've already seen it on TV.  If they've only become a fan in the last 7 or 8 
years, then it's almost certain they've never watched on any other network 
except TVLand.  

Now, suppose you're looking through the DVDs at your local video store, and you 
come across a boxed set of DVDs for an old TV show called "The Joe Shlabotnik 
Show" (there's no such show, I just made it up).  Would you buy the DVDs?  Of 
course not, you're never heard of this show, nor has anybody else.  Who would 
pay money for DVDs of a show nobody ever heard of?

That's why networks like TVLand are important.  Sure, they show a lot of stupid 
stuff that most of us will never watch, but my point is that if there ever 
comes a time when no stations are airing TAGS, then eventually a day will come 
when the young people of America are unaware that this show even exists, and 
that would be a great shame.
