Something on this line has cropped up in here before.  And, it 
does come down to "Marketing".   

The same holds true for many movies.  And, in both directions. 

There is the capability to release it all at once for all 
to see.  But, Ward gets "new" shows about a year after they 
are shown here.  

Don't they know that the "secret releases" are no longer secret 
anymore?
