In
this news story we told you about 5 "best-of" DVD releases that Image Entertainment is shipping on
June 29th (this coming Tuesday). Each disc, sold separately for an SRP of just $9.99, comes with 4 great episodes drawn from the entire run of the classic series (episode lists for each disc are in the prior news story).
When first announced, Image didn't acknowledge that any supplements would be included with these individual discs, which are aimed at the casual fan who isn't interested in (or doesn't want to pay for) the season-set releases of the show. Now, however, it has come to our attention that some bonus material WILL be on these offerings after all!

In addition to the terrific episodes already on these discs, it sounds too good to be true that we get these extras as well! Season set owners need not worry: all of those can be found on the season set releases.
Our thanks to "David VP" for indirectly lettiing us know about these, and to Brandon for his contribution as well.
