Earlier this month we
reported that
Bewitched (and spin-off
Tabitha was headed to DVD on
June 21st. Now
Variety has confirmed that information, and told us something new in the process! Here's a quote from the well-known Hollywood trade newspaper:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will bow the entire 36-episode, black-and-white first season of the 1960s TV series in a four-disc set June 21.
Sony will offer the series in its original black-and-white form, or with episodes that were colorized years ago for syndicated reruns. They will be available separately on DVD for $39.95 each.
Sony also is simultaneously releasing all 13 episodes of the 1977 spinoff series "Tabitha," starring Lisa Hartman and Robert Urich.
So you'll be given a choice on store shelves of buying either a "B&W" box set or a "Colorized" box set of
Bewitched - The Complete 1st Season? Nice job, and a TV-on-DVD first!
Our thanks to "David" for his heads-up about
Variety's write-up. Sony is planning to formally announce these titles in a couple of weeks, on April 11th. Tune in to TVShowsOnDVD News for all the details, plus cover art, at that time!
