Maybe I'm just ignorant, but what is this commentary?

[snip]

I think I've seen some TV commercials for the SWHS on some disc I have, but I could be mistaken. If memory serves, they were included on the KCCI disc, but I could be wrong. I'll try to look around tonight.

MMM Commentaries does quite a few fan commentaries, and they did a marathon session of the Star Wars sextet a while ago. Their SWHS commentary is interesting, and entertaining, reminding me kind of a Kevin Smith commentary (but with language far, far cleaner). It makes the watching more fun, and many months ago I had the crazy idea of grafting it onto the special itself as an alternate optical track.

(Then, of course, I realized that Nero would require me to duplicate the entire program. Not impressive.)

The MMM site is here:

And they've apparently just started taking a look at Buffy. Not sure how I discovered their site....probably a Google search on the SWHS.

(If you do find the commercials, I'd love to see them. Haven't since .... well, not sure .... certainly have only the dimmest memories of the original broadcast itself!)
