Yes, I'm on a roll!

With all the extras on the 3rd season Father Ted DVD, don't you think someone could have commented on Dermot Morgan's death? Maybe a little dedication to the man that was Father Ted, or a sign that someone involved in the project was sad that he died?

They have an interview with "Dougal" from before the series ended (why not get something more recent?), and an interview with the writers from after the show ended. No one ever even mentions that Ted is dead.

In the "bio" it has like half a sentence that says something like, "Unfortunately, he died after filming," and that's it.

Why no comment from the cast about what a great guy he was, or something about fact that they changed the ending to the final episode because of his death?

It seemed disrespectful to hardly even acknowledge the death of the main character in the show on the final DVD in the set.

Wow, Father Ted, I used to love that show. Where in the world are they selling DVDs of that?

Maybe the family didnt' want anything to be put out about the death? That's the only thing I can think of.
