Tim DeKay) and Katie (
Ally Walker). As the couples go through various relationship issues, they seek the help of therapist Dr. May Foster (

"Unlike anything that's ever been on television...sticks around after other dramas fade out...breaks new ground,"
The New Yorker said of the show.
The DVD set contains four discs and costs about $70.
Aside from the DVD set, fans can also avail of other related products to the show. The network is now offering mugs and t-shirts for men and women with the
