A couple of weeks ago we had
the first heads-up about the mid-September release of
The Unit on DVD, including a long list of extras that our retail sources said were planned for that 4-disc set. Now the same folks are telling us that Fox has scaled back their plans for the extras on this release significantly: Instead of commentary tracks on "about half of the episodes", there will only be one (on "SERE"). And there will be only one featurette, instead of two. But the deleted scenes are still there. Cost is $49.98 SRP in the USA and CA$69.98 in Canada, for 13 episodes running 572 minutes. Exact street date is
September 19th. Here is the complete rundown from Fox, courtesy of our retail sources:
FROM EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS SHAWN RYAN ("The Shield," "Angel") and PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING PLAYWRIGHT DAVID MAMET.
They are The Unit, a covert Special Forces team operating outside the usual military chain of command. Whether stateside or aboard, these heroes are on the frontlines protecting U.S. citizens and foreigners alike, slipping in under the radar and risking their lives to save the day then leaving just as quietly without any well-deserved credit or thanks. Starring Dennis Haysbert and Scott Foley, this riveting, action-packed drama is as realistic and pulse- pounding as it gets.
