First we had rumors, then we had news that it was being
considered for release by Warner Bros, followed by
early information on the set, and the ability to
vote for your favorite DVD artwork, but this news item is so much better than all the rest; a real date for the set.
That's right, Warner Bros will release the complete series, all 28 TV hours worth (26 episodes and a 2 hour pilot - 1260 mins), on
July 18. The set, which is a whopping 8 discs, will retail for $99.98. Of course a Bruce Campbell release wouldn't be complete without bonus material, and Warner Bros doesn't disappoint:
- Pilot episode commentary with star Bruce Campbell and creator Carlton Cuse
- Brisco's "Book of Coming Things" interactive menu of signature references from the series narrated by Bruce Campbell
- A Brisco County Writer's Room - A write-'em cowboy reunion
- The History of Brisco Country, Jr. documentary
- A Reading From The Book of Bruce featurette
- Tools of the Trade interactive gadgets gallery hosted by Campbell
The release date is just a few days before the San Diego Comic Con where Campbell was hounded about the show's DVD release last year. What a difference a year can make.
