Video Business Magazine has a new article entitled "
SCTV Is Finally Coming to DVD." Well, we kind of
already knew that, but still there is a LOT of new information in that article (all items are quoted from the article; please click the link above to read the complete text):
- "In production for a January release"
- Music clearance was a big delay: Eugene Levy says that "Every tune that we used over eight years had to be re-tossed a lot of money just for clearance, to re-license these things"
- The DVD release will not be a "complete first-season" package, Levy said. "SCTV" began as a series of half-hour shows but eventually moved to a 90-minute format when the program began airing on NBC. The DVD collection starts with those 90-minute shows...Levy said the decision was made to start the DVD collection with the 90-minute shows because it's always smart to "start with your strongest stuff."
- DVD producers are in the process of putting together bonus content for the "SCTV" set, and Levy is ready to play a part in the extras. "They're doing that stuff now and finding whatever footage that they can muster, off-camera stuff or anything else," he said. "There will be commentary. They're trying to organize that."
Wow, all this sounds terrific! This should be a great set, especially with participation of original cast such as Eugene Levy. We look forward to getting all the details when the official announcement comes through.
