Late last year, television show creator/producer Stephen J. Cannell spoke about
Wiseguy being in-the-works for DVD release. That release is finally going to
be here this month (with a
second release tentatively planned for December).
Now Mr. Cannell has again
talked to Video Store Magazine, and has a few interesting things to say about his DVD plans besides getting
Wiseguy releases out "every three months":
Cannell said, in addition to more "Wiseguy" sets, he is looking at what titles in his extensive library he might want to issue next on DVD. While major hits like "The A-Team" might be naturals, Cannell said he's more inclined towards series that may have been short-lived, but drew an instant and engrossed fan base. A favorite of his is "Profit," a critically successful show that ran for only four episodes in 1996. "That's a show that people are still talking about," said Cannell. The show, 10 episodes of which exist, followed a sociopathic character as he builds a career inside a large company by destroying other people's careers.
Other series he's considering would be "Silk Stalkings" (1991), "Renegade" (1992) and "Tenspeed and Brownshoe" (1980), the first series that he created for his own production company.
