Which is why I am concerned that Warner didn't go right ahead and release these to DVD already, BEFORE they were aired on TCM. I knew some viewers would grow weary of seeing many of these films on TV and then maybe not even want to pick up the movies on DVD!

  
I'm scared to say I agree with you.  I know "fans" love these and will pick them up but it seems that a lot of newbies aren't too thrilled with them and have already given up on the series.  When that Warner thread at the other site started I was going to buy them no matter what.  Over time my interest began to grow low.  When the TCM thing started I said I'd buy them if I enjoyed at least 50% of them.  Right now I'm at thumbs up for 2 of them and thumbs down for 4. 

I don't buy into the DVD is dying bullcrap but even if sales were booming it could be hard to release 48 movies.
