So TVShowsOnDVD owner Gord Lacey is in L.A. this week, doing his thing at the 2nd Annual TV-DVD Conference while I stayed home and minded the store. Gord calls me up all excited last night, passing on the bits and pieces of news from the conference, and he's telling me about something cool:
Fresh Prince is coming to DVD in 2005!
Well, I hated to burst Gord's bubble, but CNN actually beat him to the punch!. CNN.com had a
neat entertainment story yesterday about Andy Borowitz, the co-creator of
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air who has transitioned to making "fake news" entertainment on the internet (similar to The Onion, as the article mentions). In a sidebar story about the origins of
Fresh Prince, CNN mentions:
"Fresh Prince" is now being carried on Nick at Nite and a DVD of its first season is due in January. Borowitz is providing commentary.
Awesome, eh? We've been waiting for this ourselves for a long time, and we know that thousands of you feel the same way. We tried to get more info about this release before posting, but everyone involved was, of course, at the TV-DVD Conference with Gord. Stay tuned, though, and we'll bring you all the details just as soon as we can!
