Ventura has confirmed
our previous story that the set, which was first announced for a January, 2006 release, is coming on
November 8. Here's what they have to say about the set:
From the creators of the top-rated THE COSBY SHOW comes A DIFFERENT WORLD, a fresh funny situation comedy that follows the triumphs, trials, and tribulations of students of Hillman College. This half-hour spin off of the top rated THE COSBY SHOW, was the first ensemble situation comedy to immerse America in student life at a historically black college. Enjoying a successful 6-run season run on NBC, from 1987 to 1993, A DIFFERENT WORLD bas been widely honored for its sensitive, intelligent treatment of contemporary issues.
Special features include:
- Cast interviews
- Out-takes
- A retrospective overview of the series with cast members
- An un-aired, "lost" episode featuring the legendary Tupac Shakur and Jada Pinkett-Smith
The set will include the 24 episodes from season 1 (575 mins), and will retail for $39.99. Here's a look at the
