We
told you last August that DVDs were coming, and now they are almost here. The
press release announcing that the second season of
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! will start airing soon, also mentions that this season premiere will be after the DVDs for
Season 1 hit:
SHOWTIME has renewed its multiple Emmy®-nominated series PENN & TELLER: BULLSHIT!, from the Wolper Organization, for a second season, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, President, Entertainment for Showtime Networks Inc. The controversial series, featuring master showmen Penn & Teller, initially premiered on SHOWTIME in January 2003. It offers viewers an aggressive, irreverent exposé of taboo topics using the duo's trademark humor, knowledge of carnival tricks and con-artistry, as well as hidden cameras and blatant confrontation. According to TV Guide, the series "is what 60 Minutes might be like if it were run by the creators of South Park."
Production on 13 new half-hour episodes begins this month with the second season premiere slated to air in the spring of 2004, following the DVD release of season one during the first quarter of 2004.
With a little digging, we were able to get more info than that, however.
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! - Season 1 DVDs will be available on March 30th. List price will be $39.99, for 364 minutes of fun. Look for supplements to include a Bonus Episode, Unaired Deleted Scenes, a "Naked Promo" that was never aired, Outakes, and a Sneak Peak of the new season. This set will be available for pre-order very quickly, so look for us to provide links to listings at popular online retailers, probably in the next few days!
