We've been
talking since last year about plans in-the-works for a DVD release of
The Odd Couple, starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. All the previous reports said to expect this from Paramount Home Entertainment, and we've kept a steady eye on them to look for word about this! Unfortunately, we were looking in the wrong direction...
Thanks to one of our readers, Randy Summers, we found out that Time/Life is going to be releasing
The Odd Couple - The Complete 1st Season on
August 14th. According to
information at their site, this is a 4-DVD set for $38.97:
