I got a Fox dvd set for Xmas also. I was looking through their Fox TV on DVD booklet inside and also noticed that a fairly large percentage of the shows they were advertising were ones that had been cancelled (arguably prematurely)within 1 or 2 seasons.
Firefly, Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realms, Family Guy, Wonderfalls,...
There were at least 4 or 5 others though I can't remember them off the top of my head at the moment.

At what school for the mentally handicapped do they find these blurb artists?
...With no disrespect to the mentally handicapped community intended by comparing them to F*x blurb artists...
Disbelievingly,

Greg the Bunny, Roswell, Dark Angel, Millenium and Arrested Developement are in my catalog as well ... all of which I'm sad to say I did not really watch
.... and Tru Calling is in there as well .. which again I haven't seen ....

Yes, those are the other ones I saw listed (although I think Millennium ran for 3 seasons).

FYI: By the way the co-executive producer of
Remington Steele was Gareth Davies

Yes-indeedy-do... comparing the mental skills of the people that con companies into being their marketing (so-called) "experts" with the mental skills of the mentally handicapped does, in general, do an injustice to the mentally handicapped community
Damn...
... now I can't remember his name... VERY, very edgy, controversial stand-up comedian who died quite young in the early '90's... OH YEAH 
... it was Bill Hicks(!!), who actually did a routine wherein -doing the audience-rahrah-rabble-rousing-thing - he asked if anyone in the audience worked in a marketing job and, when he got some enthusiastic whoowhoo-ing with raised hands, he said that all those people should go out abd kill themselves right now. And then, after the nervous laughter, he told the audience he was quite serious -he meant every word - that they were all a bunch of people whose lives had ended up having no meaning (I'm paraphrasing from memory here, for all those who seem to be able to dredge the most obscure & precise quotes out of the ether) and that the only respectable thing was for them to take themselves out of the genepool and kill themselves.... hmmm... dunno how this helps... but every once in awhile, a good rant seems to help ME
RANT! You lily-livered DUDES, RANT!!! "or your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat."

So what, Jane Espenson was a writer for Ellen!
The truth is unforgiving, don't shoot the messenger.
