Just over a month ago, Universal Studios Home Entertainment
announced that
Night Gallery - Season 2 is coming to DVD at last, on
November 18th. The 5-disc set includes a long list of bonus material, provided with the help of
Night Gallery experts that include famous Hollywood director Guillermo Del Toro (
Hellboy films, upcoming
The Hobbit films).
However, we've learned from the studio that they won't be able to include every story, and every episode, from the show's second season. The folks at Universal who passed this on to us aren't happy about the situation, and realize that fans won't be, either. They wanted us to make sure fans know about it, before they buy the package, so they know what to expect. The studio provided us with the following statement about what's missing, and why, and they inform us that this issue WILL be noted on the package itself:
Universal Studios Home Entertainment makes every effort to include every TV episode from a particular season in their season boxed sets. In the case of some older series, certain elements, episodes, or versions of episodes inadvertently get lost over time.
Despite a long and extensive search, Universal was not able to locate portions of the 40-year old episode "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and the story "Witches Feast " to include on the upcoming Night Gallery Season 2 DVD set.
While this certainly is not pleasant news to pass along, we want to thank the folks at Universal for taking the time and effort to let consumers know about this in advance, and step up to the plate with this information. Knowing that the studio has put a lot of great material in this package will certainly make fans want to pick it up in any case...and it's much better for everyone to know about the missing footage beforehand. Our thanks to Universal for telling us, so we could spread the word.
