Earlier this week Universal
announced the DVD release of USA Network's mini-series,
The Starter Wife, starring Debra Messing and Joe Mantegna. While we're still waiting on the cover art, the studio did send out a sample screen shot from the menu. It's below, so take a look.
The studio has not said one way or the other, but we don't think there will be any extras on this release. We based that on 1) the menu screen doesn't show any, and Universal's sample menu screen offerings almost always will also include a "bonus material menu" picture if extras exist, and 2) an area at Universal's password-protected press site that almost always lists a description of the release that includes the extras, is now filled with just basic info that this is a six-hour mini-series based on the novel and then names the main cast. Extras usually would have been brought up in that area, if any, and they weren't. So it looks like you can expect a bare-bones release here, which is consistant with the $29.98 list price tag. But you can
pre-order from Amazon for $20.99, and it will ship on
Sept. 11th.
