If they do put out a bunch of outtakes, I hope they use good judgement. I've seen hysterical outtakes, but I've also seen one clip too many of actors forgetting lines and giggling/swearing, which just doesn't do much for me in terms of entertainment value.

I am an outtakes ho. I'll take 'em anyway, anywhere, anyhow. I laugh like a loon almost without excpetion. Now, I'll grant that there are truly worthy and deserving, funny outtakes, and I'd rather see those, but ... end of the day? No standards.
Right with you JenP!
Never thought of it that way before, but I am indeed an "outakes ho!" I'm, mesmerized.

Given how completely opposed SMG seems to be about doing outside the show stuff (other than interviews for other networks/magazines) - I'm imagining they will be VERY carefully chosen. And that there won't be many. S6 DVDs say there will be outtakes as well - so I'm imagining S5 will contain a couple seasons' worth and so will S6 and S7.
I confess to a vast appreciation of watching actors in a Serious Scene break out in serial giggles, because you can watch it getting worse and worse, and they can't control it, and they all feed off each other till it's like "Good morning --" and they all fall over laughing.
This is the sort of thing that is funnest with soaps, because soap actors are practically always having a Serious Scene.
Still, the best selection of outtakes and craziness I've ever seen was gag reels, from the X-Files first 6 seasons.

Jealous, jealous, jealous. So greenly jealous.
God, I would love to see those XF gag reels. I've heard stories...
The S4 Farscape DVD set apparently has a gag reel. Also footage from the cancellation announcement on the set...

Wow. I think that would be worth the price of admission alone.

Good lord. That is just...I don't think they should film that kind of thing. Yikes.
