Fellow denizens of Ork have linked in from the far reaches of the galaxy, looking for more information about the Earthbound DVD release about the first year in the history of their most famous explorer, Mork from Ork. One moon cycle ago, TVShowsOnDVD.com
communicated about the debut of
Mork & Mindy: The Complete 1st Season on DVD (
Sept. 7th). At the time the website didn't have any other data to provide!
Now the release is up for pre-order at internet retail sites such as
DVDEmpire.com and
DVDPlanet.com. We've examined the information these merchants provided, to compile a report on what the item will correspond to.
Mork & Mindy: The Complete 1st Season contains 4 DVDs, with video presentation in the 1.33:1 original broadcast format. All 25 stories (well, 24 plus the double-length pilot episode) are presented during the running time of 635 Earth minutes.
The studio, Paramount Home Entertainmet, has decided not to declare a Suggested Retail Price for this compilation. It has become their custom to do this (or rather, to not do this) when dealing with multi-disc sets of Television shows. However, different salesmen have decided to represent the release as having an SRP in spite of that, and each has stated something different. For example, DVDEmpire shows $49.95 as the maximum cost. On the other hand, DVDPlanet displays $39.95 as the upper limit. Potential buyers should research this thoroughly and get the best deal that they can.
Artwork of the packaging hasn't been released yet, nor is there any further word about supplements or specifications of the set. However, we're monitoring this closely, and will make the information available to you just as soon as we can.
