Now that the bump and grind of
the NBC-Universal merger is behind us, Universal Studios Home Video has plans. BIG plans. Plans for
Vice, it seems.
Universal has sent out a very nicely crafted book, approximately 35-40 glossy pages long and in full color. The outer cover and first couple of pages is stark black, with silver lettering, that says "Great Television on DVD is Universal. Universal Studios Home Video is Proud To Present Some of the Most Dynamic and Influential Television Shows of the Past 40 Years. The ShowsThat Defined Generations, Influenced Popular Culture and Set the Standard for Television's Most Groundbreaking Programming are Coming to DVD."
The indication from those words is that every television show covered in the brochure - and there are a LOT! - will be coming to DVD. There are many surprises contained therein, and we'll be telling you about them over the next couple of days. But the first item mentioned inside is big...very big! You've been waiting for word about this, and now we have it. Here's a scan of the left and right pages that kick off the contents of this "catalog":
After a long and crazy history of news on this site (including a alleged imposter representing himself as a Universal lawyer who
tried to prevent various fan and DVD websites, including TVShowsOnDVD, from even *discussing* the topic of
Miami Vice on DVD), we are pleased to pass on this news that Crockett and Tubbs seem to be heading home at last!
When, what, and how much? All "to be announced"; the document that was distributed to a select group only displays the various series, and insinuates that DVDs are on-the-way for each of them. No further information is given.
Stay tuned, though, and we'll bring more info to you about this just as soon as we can. This news is dedicated to my good friend, Todd, who's been waiting and waiting for this one!
