Our friends at The Digital Bits - especially owner Bill Hunt - have been advocating the release of
Star Trek: Enterprise on DVD for quite some time now. In their
Rumor Mill report today, they tell us that their wish seems to be coming true!
The report also has a lot to say about
Star Trek: The Animated Series, but we're covering that in
a separate news post, since there's more to that story than what The Bits has to say. In the meantime, here's an
Enterprise-only version of the Bits' Rumor Mill entry:
Well... we've suspected it was going to happen (and we've been saying it ought to happen for a while now), but industry sources are finally starting to hint to us to expect Paramount to release seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise...on DVD in 2005. Word is now that Enterprise has been picked up for a fourth season by UPN..., the studio believes that releasing the series on disc might help bolster the ratings and possibly extend the broadcast life of the series further...
(This) series coming in 2005 would make sense. Paramount has been releasing at least one complete Trek series a year on DVD for three years now. With both Voyager and The Original Series set to be out before the end of 2004, and The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine already out, Enterprise and The Animated Series are all that's left.
We'll keep a close eye on this and let you know as soon as we have any new information. Cross your fingers. Or do that funny Vulcan hand thingie if you'd prefer.
Nice! TVShowsOnDVD readers should stay tuned as well, because we'll be keeping a lookout for news about this as well. Our thanks to reader Corey Long for letting us know about The Rumor Mill post.
