Earlier this week we
reported that the 2006 TBS Network series
My Boys would come to DVD from Sony. The planned release date for
The Complete 1st Season was said to be Feb. 12, per
a pre-order listing at Amazon. However, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment didn't formally announce the title at the time we expected them to, so we contacted them and inquired about this.
Sony tells us that the planned release for
My Boys - The Complete 1st Season is indeed on, but that February was a tentative date and should not have gone up at Amazon yet, since it was never officially announced. The plan for it's release has been moved, possibly to
March, but nothing is set in stone yet.
In fact, we were told that February will turn into a rather light month for Sony's on TV-DVD releases, but that they are hoping to release plenty of television-related titles starting in March. However, their schedule isn't finalized yet, and of course product plans can still move for various reasons.
Although Sony didn't bring up this example, we'll mention one possible delay that would be quite beyond the studio's control. Rumors had reached our ears that Sony was planning on a late February release of the upcoming CBS mini-series
Comanche Moon: The Road to Lonesome Dove (starring Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn, Rachel Griffiths, Linda Cardellini, and Karl Urban), and that this would possibly be the only TV-DVD release from the studio during that month. However, plans to air this mini-series on CBS around the end of December and beginning of January were
recently delayed, and now the six-hour mini-series won't be aired until at least a couple of weeks later than originally planned. That could, of course, delay the release of the DVDs for
Comanche Moon. Will it actually move the DVD release? We don't know, because that title's announce date hasn't arrived yet. So we'll hold off saying one way or the other; it's just an example of all the different sort of issues that could come up when a studio tries to figure out when product will get released. Bear with them, please, and stay tuned to us for more information.
