With
Season 4's release just a week away, Image Entertainment is getting ready to finish off this fabled classic series on DVD (
or maybe not!) with the
June 29 release of
The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 5. As with the previous releases, Image brings you every episode from that year's run with fully restored and remastered shows that sparkle and glisten, just like they were brand-new. Here's the cover art for the final packaged set:
This 5-DVD box set goes for the suggested list price of $69.99. You get 31 episodes (please see the complete list at the bottom) running at 750 minutes. As always,
The Dick Van Dyke Show on DVD is presented to you as it originally aired: with Black & White full frame video, and with English Mono audio. And, as usual, the extras for this set are long and deep, and contain a nice surprise from a 1969 special! Here's the complete rundown:
- Audio Commentaries Featuring Carl Reiner and Dick Van Dyke for Selected Episodes
- The Cast Remembers "Coast-to-Coast Big Mouth"
- Remembering Richard Deacon
- Cast Memories of the Last Show
- Cast on the TV Land Awards
- Emmy© Award Telecast Clips Featuring the Cast
- Clip from Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman, a 1969 special with Dick and Mary
- Cast Reunion on Comic Relief
- Original Commercials Featuring the Cast and Network Promotional Spots
- Collectible Booklet Featuring Trivia, Biographies, Illustrations and More
This looks like a terrific way to finish out the season sets for the die-hard fans, and we would like to thank the folks behind these releases - Image Entertainment and Paul Brownstein Productions - for putting together some truly special box sets. Well done!
