A week ago we had the
heads-up that Stephen J. Cannell's
Riptide, starring Perry King, would come to DVD in the USA soon (a separate Canadian-only release is
also being prepped by a different company, VEI).
Thanks to reader Tara Olson, who spotted
an Amazon.com pre-order listing, we now know that the USA release of
Riptide - The Complete 1st Season is coming from Sony, as a 3-DVD set. The list price is $39.95 SRP, but Amazon is selling it right now for $27.99. The ship date is shown there as
September 26th. Video is full-screen 1.33:1, and English is the only language support mentioned.
The 13 episodes (including the pilot telefilm) from the first season had numerous guest stars that included Cindy Pickett, K.C. Winkler, Lewis Arquette (father of Patricia, Rosanna, and David Arquette), Paul Gleason, Shelly Preston, Stepfanie Kramer, Danny Wells, Dennis Franz, Geena Davis, Lance Henriksen, Christopher McDonald and Marsha Warfield. We'll have further info, including cover art, when Sony makes their formal announcement in nine days. Stay tuned!
