While I can agree that DVD sales represent a significant chunk of money, I would not agree that this show would not have survived without it. This show is not just a hit, it is a monster hit airing in primetime, free-to-air television around the world.
It is not hurting for money.
That said, other shows that don't have the domestic US appeal, let alone International reach, have trouble maintaining profitability without ancillary sales such as DVD and Online.
