Thanks to Tino Persico, who runs
a great Critic fansite. Thanks to
USAToday, we've all
known since July that this was heading to DVD at some point.
Now, Tino has sent over word that he's posted
this article based on a note from Jay Brown. Jay wrote to Tino about a speech given by none other than
Critic Co-Creator Mike Reiss this past week at Southern Illinois University.
Jay's message, while not overly long, is full of several great anecdotes about the lecture Mike Reiss gave. I encourage fans of the show (or even
The Simpsons) to head over to Tino's site and give it a read. But the REALLY good part is this right here:
Jay Brown writes: He showed us what he called his favorite clip from the show...After showing the clip he simply said, "By the way for those of you who are interested The Critic will be coming out on DVD in February."
Well, that DOESN'T stink, does it? It doesn't mention a date, but narrows it down quite a bit for us. While the studio behind this DVD, Columbia, doesn't usually talk about DVD plans this far in advance, it's nice to begin planning for the purchase. Keep in mind, though, that this isn't official word from the studio, and that plans can and often do change. We'll have official word from Columbia on their official announce date and not a minute sooner. Stay tuned until then!
