It has been more than two and a half years since Paramount
became interested in fan feedback about whether or not they would be interested in getting
The Sentinel on DVD. The answer was a resounding "yes," as the series - which got its broadcast start on UPN in '96 as
Star Trek: Voyager's Wednesday night lead-in - jumped to the top of polls and request lists, and is currently the 27th most-requested unreleased show here at TVShowsOnDVD. Could all that fan interest finally have paid off?
Paramount Home Entertainment's press site consists of folders for every property they may bring out onto home video. When there's no folder, there's no release. When there is a folder, then a release is on the way or already here. Now there's a new folder on that password-protected press site, and it is labeled
The Sentinel - Season 1. That surely sounds hopeful, eh?
The folder in question is currently empty, which means that there's no artwork, no specs, no description, and no release date. It's a cinch this is probably coming in 2006, but beyond that reasonable expectation we have nothing more to tell you right now. Paramount was unable to comment on this and other titles when we attempted to reach them late this afternoon, but pledged to look into them for us early next week. So stay tuned, and we'll let you know what we find out!
