Following our story the other day
that Duckman is coming to DVD, we received an e-mail from reader Ryan Maxwell, who talked with
Duckman creator Everett Peck after seeing our story! Ryan passes along this quote from Everett:
Yes, it's true! My agent and I have been working closely with CBS to get this to happen. It looks like initial release will be seasons one and two. There will be some value added material but I'm not quite sure how that will shape up at this point.
We confirmed the above quote directly with Everett, who said it was okay for us to pass along the above, but didn't have anything to add publicly except his heartfelt gratitude for everyone who helped make this happen:
I do want to say I'm very pleased that Duckman is finally coming to DVD, It's been way too long. I get emails all the time from people all around the world asking when Duckman will be on DVD and now I can finally tell them. I'm very grateful to Ken Ross at CBS for pushing this forward!
It's way too early, of course, to have anything more than that, but it's good to know that the first release will consist of the first two "short" seasons together (13 eps for S1 and 9 eps for S2, so 22 episodes total). The 3rd season was longer then those (20 epsiodes) and then the final 4th season was the longest of them all (28 episodes, for a total of 70). So those seasons would probably each get their own separate DVD releases, we would think. I guess we'll find out for sure as CBS DVD's plans come together and get announced! Stay tuned, and we'll update you as developments occur.
