Back in December, we first
reported that VCI Entertainment is bringing out
Burke's Law - Season 1, Volume 1 on DVD (supposedly coming on
March 4th, as we
later reported, but it's still not up for pre-order anywhere so we're beginning to wonder!). During that initial report, we passed along a quote saying that this release "
will also include 'bonus' original commercials and previews."
Recently there has been word elsewhere that these won't be the only bonus features after all. InTheBalcony.com is a cool website run by Clifford Weimer, and at the site's message boards we believe it is he who
posted a message under the name "Laughing Gravy" saying that he had written liner notes for the set. Among those liner notes are a history of the show, and a biography of star Gene Barry.
We've also heard rumors that VCI may be trying to get Gene Barry's participation in extras for this release, or possibly for the subsequent releases. Other show cast such as Gary Conway may also be asked. These are just rumors, not facts, and of course there's no guarantee that these people would be available to participate, either. Hopefully it comes to pass, though, and fans would surely consider it worth the wait if indeed the first release couldn't make it in time for the 4th of next month.
Stay tuned and we'll keep you informed of any further developments about the DVD releases for this great classic program!
