Those things get released on DVD. BUT, after OVER A YEAR since season 1 was released, I am STILL denied the pleasure of seasons 2 thru 4 of PICKET FENCES — an excellently written David E. Kelley drama told from the point of view of a 1990′s family living in the quirky, tight-knit town of Rome, Wisconsin…

A town which serves as a microcosm for all the social challenges of a changing world. If it’s a quirk, crime, disability, mental disorder, social disorder, sexual disorder, controversial socio-political topic, or anything else weird, it comes to the sleepy town of Rome, and they deal with it in their own innocent but intellectual & methodical ways.

A severed head, an elephant-stealing dwarf, euthanasia, a transsexual, the Green Bay Chopper, the Potato Man, the Frog Man, death by steamroller, menopause, goat sacrifices, sexy twins, an HIV+ dentist, a serial killer, Parkinson’s Disease, a fetal tissue transplant, UFO sightings, a Native American skirmish, a pregnant fugitive, a pig liver transplant… Well, those are just a few of the highlights, from the *first* season.

Season 1 doesn’t have nearly enough of Judge Henry Bone (played by the great Ray Walston) who doesn’t become a main character until season 2. It isn’t until season 2 episode 2 that Rome begins its string of bad luck holding onto mayors who die or are removed due to spontaneous combustion, soft-core adult video scandal, Alzheimer’s Disease (a David E. Kelley staple), and murder.

We haven’t gotten to the great Don Cheadle joining the cast as the town’s District Attorney. We haven’t gotten to Marlee Matlin as the Dancing Bandit. We haven’t gotten to the really bizarre episode where a baby has, well, a very unique surrogate mother.

I want to know why 3/4 of this show still has not been released on DVD. It’s a crime!!! A travesty!!!

Oh, there it is on Hulu. For free. Only s1 & s2, and there are six episodes missing from s2. I guess that’s better than nothing. For now. I can calm down now — a little bit.
