This past May we
passed along a report that Andy Richter and Conan O'Brien were recording commentary tracks for
Andy Barker P.I. on DVD. The problem was...we didn't know what studio this was coming from! About a year ago we
reported that BCI had picked up the home video rights to the show...but that was just a few months before BCI's parent company shuttered the studio, leaving those rights in limbo.
A short time ago today, though, Shout! Factory DVD producer Brian Ward
posted on Twitter that he's
Watching stuff on upcoming ANDY BARKER, P.I. This set's gonna rock! I checked with Ward, asking if his tweet really means that this is a Shout! Factory title; Ward was nice enough to confirm that on the spot.
No timetable or details are available for us yet, but we'll pass those details along as Shout! finalized things with this title. So stay tuned! In the meantime, it's great to know that it's really coming, and from the great guys at Shout! Factory as well. In his tweet, Ward also reminds folks to run out and pick up
The Middleman on DVD. I concur; it's a fantastic show and a fantastic set, so be sure to check it out.
