Back in October we
first reported that
Beggars and Choosers - Season 1, which HAD been scheduled for a January 10th street date, was delayed with no new date. Now one of our readers, Robert (thanks!), has let us know that show Creator/Executive Producer Peter Lefcourt has some word about this
at his website. If you look at the news bulletins on the extreme left side, and scroll down about 2/3rds of the way, you'll see this:
Also in the less than wonderful news department, Buena Vista Home Video has postponed the scheduled release of the DVD of Season One of "Beggars & Choosers" indefinitely. I had reported here earlier that we had done DVD commentary on some episodes and that BVHV has slated the release for January. I will continue to pester them to release the DVD's, but as we know, the DVD market for TV episodes is both a little saturated and a little soft at the moment: those shelves at Target are sagging under the weight of unsold episodes of old TV shows. So we have to wait until someone deems it financially advantageous to spend the money to release the DVD's.
The post ends with suggestions from Lefcourt about how to contact Buena Vista and, er, be a beggar for this set's release. We'll certainly let you know if the studio sets a new date for this item...stay tuned.
