I'm *really* super-shocked that noone here is talking about this yet. I figured it would be all over the HTF within an hour after I posted this yesterday afternoon:
Quote:
| We hate to be the bearer of what fans will consider to be REALLY bad news, but Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment has just announced that NewsRadio - Season 1 & 2 has been delayed from the planned 2/3/04 date. No reason was available, and no new date has been given. Stay tuned, and we'll update you when more information becomes available. |
I have no idea what the hold-up is. It could be for more content, to re-tool the release in some other way, for a license issue, for lack of availability of factory space, or for just needing more time to finish up what's already been announced. I have no idea what the heck the problem is, and the folks at Columbia I called to ask could not tell me, either. Sorry, guys!  I know you're all anxious for this one, but I was assured that it WILL return to the schedule. Right now they just don't know when. It doesn't sound like it will be a long delay, though. He says, hoping that turns out to be the case.

I can only hope they decided to expand it from 3 discs to 4 to avoid any compression issues.

Dammit.
Hopefully there's a good reason for the delay.

While expanding from 3 discs to 4 would likely boost image quality and/or allow more supplemental material, it would also likely raise the purchase price. I just hope that this set can be priced low enough to encourage sales outside the show's cult fan base. Otherwise I'm afraid we'll never see Seasons 3-5.

Would Phil Hartman's estate have any say in the matter that would cause the delay, or even have reason to delay it?

I'm bummed that this is going to be delayed, even though it does free up some money on Feb. 3, I just hope the delay is not a long one.

Haden, interesting thought about Hartman's estate. I hadn't considered it. But I doubt they have the ability to be a show-stopper on this, in all honesty.
