Collider.com published a recent interview with Tom Cavanagh, the star of
Ed and
Gray Matters, his new movie with Heather Graham. A question about
Ed on DVD came up...
Are we going to see Ed on DVD?
Tom Cavanagh: Yeah, I guess they're talking about it. Last I heard was they were close on season one. The stumbling block as it's like a lot of the time is the music rights. They were fortunate enough because of the clout they had as the Letterman's producers to get a lot of great music as one-offs, of course when you put those on a DVD that becomes a whole different thing. I think that's the difficulty. It would be nice; it would be helpful to have a little something to have a paper weight on the desk.
You'd come back and do commentary and stuff?
Tom Cavanagh: Gosh I don't know. That might be the death of the DVD. I'd like to hear what the producers have to say, that's for sure.
So it sounds like they'll try to get the show out, but music licensing issues are standing in the way. Thanks to Wolfram Meidlinger for sending us the news.
