This past August we
told our readers about a report from the folks at KnotsLanding.net about how Warner plans to release
Knots Landing on DVD in 2006. Now a reader, Scott Smith, sent us word that Columbia House (membership required) has set up a
listing for
Knot's Landing - The Complete 1st Season!
The listing sports a January 24th date, a $39.95 list price, and says this is 13 episodes on...1 disc. Well, we know the disc count is wrong, and
we're very very sure the date is wrong as well...unless the date reflects availability to Columbia House members prior to a general street date. That's the same date that
Dallas - The Complete 4th Season comes out, and while it would be natural to release them in tandem, it makes no sense that we would have the
Dallas announcement a month apart, but no studio announcement on
Knot's Landing this much later on. So we contacted Warner late this afternoon to inquire, and they told us that the release date is very likely to be
INCORRECT, but they're checking further for us (especially as to whether or not Columbia House could have set up some sort of exclusive earlier release).
However, the artwork found at the listing is very likely to be the correct box cover, although this is a very small shot of it. We're also told to expect some extras on this release, although what they would consist of was not revealed...we'll have to wait for the official announcement to find that out. Stay tuned, because we'll have more info for you whenever we get it!
