SHOUT! FACTORY AND NBC UNIVERSAL ENTER COUPLES THERAPY
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: THE COMPLETE SERIES
Four Couples, One Couch, And All 12 Episodes Of The Hilarious Improvisational Comedy Arrive On Valentine's Day As A 2-DVD Set
LOS ANGELES, CA – Shout! Factory and NBC Universal Television Distribution announce the DVD debut of the critically acclaimed comedy,
Significant Others. Originally broadcast on Bravo in 2004, the series stars an über-talented ensemble cast of improvisational actors and comedians as four young couples undergoing marriage counseling. Following in the tradition of "
Curb Your Enthusiasm,"
Significant Others is an unscripted series, resulting in 12 episodes of entertaining television, more real than a traditional comedy and more imaginative than a reality show. The 2-DVD set also includes producers' commentaries on five episodes. "Energetic, and lifelike … Freud would have given it an enthusiastic cigars up," according to the
Boston Globe, the
Significant Others DVD arrives appropriately on Valentine's Day (
February 14th) for the suggested retail price of $29.98.
Brian Palermo (
Daddy Day Care) as James is all business — a financial analyst who has it all except the confidence to believe it, something his more spirited and free-loving wife, Chelsea, played by Andrea Savage (
The West Wing), finds endearing…sometimes. Faith Salie (
Sex And The City) is the scholarly and pregnant Eleanor whose husband Ethan, played by Herschel Bleefeld, (
Six Feet Under) is finding the pressure of impending fatherhood more than a little challenging. Jane Edith Wilson (
Curb Your Enthusiasm) plays the organized and seemingly predictable Constance, who finds her world unraveling when her husband Bill, played by Fred Goss (
South Park), loses his job in full midlife free fall. And Chris Spencer (
Vibe) and Nicole Randall Johnson (
A Lot Like Love) are Devon and Alex — two parents doing their best to balance the demands of work and the needs of their nine-year-old son; they are fairly sure that they don't have issues but are checking-in, just in case.
