We've
reported that the long-awaited DVD set of
Tracey Takes On... - Season 1 was scheduled to release yesterday, Nov. 22nd. But fans of the show were unable to find the DVD anywhere. What happened is that at the beginning of this month, HBO Video and distributor Warner quietly removed this item from their schedule, and did not send out any special notice to alert the media to the change. Our inquiries about the possibility of a delay or cancellation went unanswered, and every retailer (with the exception of Amazon.com) continued to show the 11/22 release date. We kept quiet here, because we were not sure if we actually had anything to report (nobody at the studio was talking to us, or apparently to any of our regular retailer contacts).
Yesterday HBO and Warner simply re-announced the title. As far as we can tell, there is nothing changed about this release except for the new release date. That date is
December 26th (a Monday, but this is consistent with the general pattern of all the major studios who want to release on Monday that week to take advantage of after-Christmas store traffic). So fans who want this under the tree won't be able to get it in time, but ask for a gift card instead and you can pick it up the very next day. Our release listing has been updated with the new information.
