A little over a week ago, Universal
announced the
February 14th release of
Gimme a Break! - Season 1 in a 3-DVD set. At the time, we commented that extras had not been revealed up until then, but that "there is plenty of spare room on the 3rd disc for some bonus content." As it turns out, the studio plans to use that space very well, for several extras:
- BONUS EPISODE: from Gimme a Break!'s second season
- BONUS EPISODE: from Charles In Charge, released on DVD the same day
- BONUS EPISODE: from Kate & Allie
- FEATURETTE: "The Great 80's TV Flashback" (30 minutes; same item is on the Charles in Charge release)
Besides the Valentine's Day release, the studio is also promoting Black History Month with this release. Universal is also promoting the appearance of the guest stars who showed up in the first season of this show, such as Rue McClanahan, Danny Glover, and Helen Hunt. There were others as well, though: Jay Johnson of
Soap, Liz Sheridan of
ALF, Elizabeth Kerr of
Mork & Mindy, Paul Regina of
Brothers and
The Untouchables, and we can't forget Crystal Bernard of
Wings!
