Image Entertainment has announced the details of
The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 3. The release date for this package turns out to be February 24th, which is actually 2 weeks later than we
previously reported. Here's the description from Image:
Pratfall-prone Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) and his plucky wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore), along with wisecracking co-workers Sally (Rose Marie) and Buddy (Morey Amsterdam), captured America's hearts in this TV favorite that irresistibly combined wit and slapstick. Earning the series' highest ratings, the third season opened with the landmark "That's My Boy?" about Rob's fear that he's brought the wrong baby home from hospital, getting the longest studio audience laughs in the show's history. Thirty-One Original Full Length Episodes including the hilarious "October Eve" (Laura is mortified when a nude portrait of her surfaces in a New York gallery) and "Big Max Calvada"(a gangster muscles Rob, Buddy and Sally into writing a comedy routine for his nephew).
The 5-disc set will be presented as the show originally aired: Full-Frame, Black-and-White, with English Mono sound. In addition to 810 minutes for 31 episodes, there is once again a wealth of supplements on this package, all for the reasonable price of $69.99 SRP:
