This past Monday we
reported that the Meredith Baxter/David Birney series
Bridget Loves Bernie was coming to DVD on September 5th...the same day as Baxter's follow-up show,
Family, comes to DVD. We had info on this from everybody except the studio itself: Amazon.com, trade magazine
Home Media Retailing, and our friends at SitcomsOnline.com as well. But when Sony announced
Family later that day, they never followed up with a
BLB announcement!
So we got in touch with Sony and asked them what the situation is. What we were told is that the show's DVD release had tentatively been planned for announcement that day, but it was not announced after all due to a last-minute change of plans. This is a good example of why Sony has announce dates and prefers not to let word get out prior to that date: so as not to get folks' hopes up on a given title before their final go/no-go decision is made on the release.
Sony has not yet said whether this title will be offered again at a later date. Stay tuned, though, and we'll let you know if Sony puts this back on the schedule!
