Just yesterday we
posted news that DVDPlanet.com was showing a July 5th release date for
Undeclared - The Complete Series. Now creator Judd Apatow is saying to hold off before marking that on your calendar in permanent ink.
Just a few hours ago Judd
posted info saying that the date might move back about a month. He also talked a bit about the extras, and in a lot of detail about the music clearance situation. There's also a comment right at the beginning that answers the question, "will there be a special edition version similar to the one for
Freaks & Geeks?" Here's a relay of exactly what Judd said:
I think the release date will move to mid August. There will only be one version of the DVD. it will be similar to the six disc set of Freaks and Geeks. We have an episode that starred Ted Nugent that we reshot which removed Ted. We will put both versions on there. There is an episode that never aired. The museum seminar is on there along with lots of dailies and deleted moments. We were able to clear 96 percent of the music, and the songs we couldn't get, about ten, were not important songs. So we did really well there. There were some people like Jay Z and Outkast that weren't huge when we used there music and now they wanted too much money or just said no. A drag, but a minor one. Our commentaries are really funny. SInce the show was not as serious as Freaks the commentaries are a little crazier. Fred Willard did a great one. Everyone did one. Loudon Wainwright, all the cast. We are excited to have it out there since it never aired in reruns.
Thanks goes to Brian Basquille for the very fast heads-up about this. We'll talk to Shout! Factory just as soon as we can and see what the release date will end up being for certain. Stay tuned!
