Earlier this month we
reported on the full DVD schedule, in the USA and Canada, for all remaining seasons of
McMillan and Wife. That included the first word that Visual Entertainment Inc. (VEI) of Canada was planning on an August release in the USA of the show's final season, via their state-side distributor Millennium Media Services/First Look. Now
an Amazon.com pre-order listing has gone up for
McMillan and Wife - Season 6, confirming the
August 2nd street date and providing a price of $39.98 SRP. Now, that final season actually aired under the changed show name "
McMillan," because Susan Saint James had left the show. Martha Raye joined the cast as Mac's new maid, "Agatha" (sister of the previous maid, Nancy Walker's "Mildred").
Regardless of what it's called, this 450-minute set contains 6 feature-length episodes with guest stars such as Jessica Walter, Werner Klemperer, Kim Basinger, Karen Valentine, Shirley Jones, Russell Johnson, Julie Sommars, Larry Hagman, John de Lancie, Gordon Jump, Stefanie Powers, Natalie Schafer and Joan Van Ark. There's no word yet about package art, extras (if any) or whether to expect a "complete series" set for this show. Stay tuned, of course, and we'll keep you updated as more details become available!
