Warner Brothers has let us in on a little secret they've been keeping: that Kung Fu: Year 1 is in the works for DVD. Plans right now are to get it out in 2004, but this may change since no date has been set. This will be the entire first season (15 regular-season episodes) of the original 1972 series, and apparently includes the pilot movie as part of the package.
We found out that one of the reasons this was chosen for DVD release is because the show is already being remastered for high-definition by another division, and a DVD set was the logical way to take advantage of the new transfer. As a result, fans of the show with widescreen televisions will be able to take advantage of a 16x9 anamorphic widescreen image on this DVD release (Warner will have to shave a bit off the top and bottom of the image to make it fit).
There's no other word yet on this release, since it's still a ways off. An exact date, pricing, sound specs, and supplements are all still To Be Announced. And don't forget that these plans can change; nothing is set in stone. But the stone may yet be but a pebble. And, when you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.
