So I guess this will not be part of the 2-disc Special Edition series?

PERECTION!

One of my all-time favorite movies, and so delighted to see such a full-throttle special edition, and in 5.1 no less!

Can't wait to hear that main title in music with the surrounds kicking in.

There doesn't appear to be enough to warrant that, but who knows. Hopefully the documentary is a bit more than it sounds like. The deleted scenes are certainly less than 10 minutes total and I don't know how long the TV episode is. I hope they include the Mel Brooks interview from the first disc. I'd hate to hold on to that disc for that alone.

Sweet. I would think this is a 2 disk set. It would make since if each of the documentaries are an hour long, plus extra footage (tv version stuff?). I'm sure the TV pilot is 30mins. Thats more than enough for a disk, leaving room for the movie itself to breath on disc one (and it'll need room to breath with a 5.1 campfire scene) Warner tends to be decent on the extras on their special editions. "the Treasue Of the Sierra Madre" didn't look as impressive whne it was announced when compared to the other "Warner Legends", until you realize that the John Huston documentary is 120+min long.

You will need to hang on to the orginal for the Brooks audio track.

I'd say you've had enough.
