SitcomsOnline.com's News Blog ran a special series of reports this past week, reporting one title per day on a group of 4 televsion programs that they learned from Paramount is in-the-works for DVD release next year. Here's what they had to say on the 13th about
Wings:
Now for our week long feature (Sept. 13-16) on Paramount Home Entertainment's TV on DVD for 2006. Now, remember the titles I'm giving throughout this week are not officially released yet, so the titles can be scrapped entirely without notice. That is why it is best to just check TVShowsonDVD.com. I have gotten word on about four new series coming to DVD from Paramount. To launch this week long feature, we will take 'flight' with a perfect show to take us off. That is of course, the popular NBC series from the '90s--Wings! Wings is finally coming to DVD and I know there are many fans waiting for this show on DVD (including a ton on our boards) and will be VERY happy.
We're pleased to be mentioned in that write-up, but we're even more pleased that this missing-in-action series is finally on the radar scope for DVD release. With Thomas Haden Church's star rising for a while now since his Oscar-nominated turn in last year's
Sideways plus roles in the upcoming
Charlotte's Web remake for 2006 and
Spider-Man 3 in 2007, it's a cinch that more and more new fans will be attracted to his earlier work.
Monk has got Tony Shalhoub fans curious about this show, and even youngsters realize that Tim Daly got his start here before flying into the animated role of
Superman. Not to mention those of us who knew the brilliance of this show all along! We can't wait to update you further about this one, so stay tuned and we'll let you know as soon as we find out anything more!
NOTE: Several readers have expressed disappointment that Thomas Haden Church was the only cast member whose post-Wings work was mentioned above. Tony Shalhoub and Tim Daly were also mentioned, but an HTML coding error prevented the sentence from appearing. The error has been corrected, and TVShowsOnDVD regrets the mishap. As for Steven Weber, look for him to appear in 2006 in the mini-series "Stephen King's Desperation".
