Coming out of nowhere is the announcement that Universal is working on the first season of Las Vegas. Like the press release says, this was the highest rated drama for the 2003-2004 season, and the episodes featured plenty of big name guest stars.
Get ready for the first season of LAS VEGAS on DVD -- the fast-paced, sexy drama that follows the elite Las Vegas surveillance team charged with maintaining the security of one of "Sin City's" largest resorts and casinos. The slick, stylish NBC hit LAS VEGAS, was the highest rated drama among 18-49 year olds of the 2003-2004 season. Big Ed Deline (James Caan) is the head of the surveillance team for the Montecito Resort & Casino, as well as the newly appointed President of Operations. His right-hand man is Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel). They deal with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random luck and rival casinos stealing their big-money players. If the job-related pressures weren't enough, Big Ed recently found Danny in bed with his only daughter, Delinda (Molly Sims). The first season of LAS VEGAS also includes an impressive line-up of guest stars: Paris Hilton, Alec Baldwin, Dennis Hopper, Sugar Ray, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sean Astin, Wayne Newton, Little Richard, and Penn & Teller.
That's all the news they included; no release date at all.
I'm excited to hear this is coming out; it's one of the few recent shows that I missed on TV and later regretted it. I'm sure this will be presented on glorious anamorphic widescreen, and we can hope it will contain Dolby Digital 5.1, although neither of these specs have been announced.
