Disney investors have gotten their new quarterly newsletter (which you can view
here; page 23) that includes a schedule of DVD releases from Disney's home video subsidiary, Buena Vista. Our thanks to reader "Peter S." for sending us the link to this the other day (why did we wait?...more on that in a moment). The schedule mostly contains items from the past (back into 2005!) but at the end it contains a handful of items from the Spring and Summer of 2006...new listings in a few cases which we haven't seen dates for yet.
Some of them we HAVE seen dates for, though, and one in particular gives us pause.
Scrubs - The Complete 3rd Season has
been announced for a May 9th release date by the studio, but the schedule shown on this investor newsletter says "May 16th." This demonstrates why we can't out-and-out believe this list completely. In fact, we here at TVShowsOnDVD were planning to hold off on posting this info until we could check in with the studio and verify the dates. However, we've learned this morning that another website has already posted about this, and quite frankly we didn't want to get slammed with e-mails saying "they have this info, why don't you?" So we're posting it, with caution, and we'll update you if we hear differently on these dates.
One of the titles you'll see on this newsletter's schedule is for
Home Improvement - The Complete 4th Season. We've
already told you to expect this release in the Summer, and now this newsletter's schedule shows a
June 13th release date for the title. This is expected to contain 25 episodes, including the double-length story "Tool Time After Dark." Guest stars include James Cromwell, Polly Holliday, M. Emmet Walsh, Jay Leno, Lucy Liu, Dave Chappelle, and Max Gail among others. Stay tuned and we'll bring you details and cover art just as soon as we can get them! Here's a look at the newsletter sheet with the schedule (
Home Improvement is highlighted in a solid red oval).
