After a four-month gap between seasons 1 and 2, this set was not released until 13 months after season two's release, in December 2004, after being initailly scheduled for spring of that year. This delay is thought to be due to issues relating to music rights, perhaps explaining this set's (and future sets') complete lack of bonus features and conversion to double-sided discs.
