Simpsons: Treehouse Of Horror Coming to DVD Sept. 2!! (1 Viewer)

[Gabe Sigler]

Not sure if this has already been announced, but the Simpsons "Treehouse Of Horror" DVD will be released on Sept. 2. Retail is $14.95.

 

[Sean Frost]

How many Treehouse of Horrors will it contain?

 

[Joel C]

It's probably the same disc that was released in R2, with 4 episodes.

I wish Fox would just release the seasons faster.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Then start writing Matt Groening letters asking him to speed up his approvals

 

[Josh C]

In order to get a commentary track for every episode, it takes time for the participants to record them. That's one of the reasons why these season set take so long. Only 2 more months till Season 3!

 

[Robert Ringwald]

It's been established that the first 4 seasons were finished with recordings something like a year ago. I think there's a different reason.

 

[Dean Kousoulas]

It's probably because they figure if the sets came out every couple of months, people would go broke trying to afford them all, thus sales would drop.

[Eric Alderson]

I'm sure the delays are partly due to music rights issues.

 

[Jean-Michel]

I dunno. Remember these are still the early seasons before they decided they had to include some golden oldie in EVERY EPISODE. Unless they're having a problem with the in-house music guys like Alf Clausen (which I really doubt) I don't think that's the reason.

 

[Greg*go]

Isn't the fact that it's a cartoon and has SO many people involved and the fact that DVDs weren't even invented when the earlier seasons came out on TV have something to do with the speed in which the seasons get approved for DVD use? I'm sure they don't need everyone's approval who worked on the show, but there has to be a higher number then a normal television show. Or it could be the simple fact that they want to make sure EVERYONE has the current season before the newer one comes out.
I won't be getting this Treehouse DVD if it only has 4 eps. They're on quite regurlarly around here, and I'll eventually have them when I get the seasons on DVD.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

No, it has nothing to do with any of the reasons listed. It has to do with approvals, and Gracie films is the bottleneck.

 

[David Lambert]

Gabe, I'm not sure how you knew about this, but thanks for pointing it out. Your name will be mentioned later today in a TVShowsOnDVD news item that will include the cover art for this puppy. Oh, actually retail is $14.98.

 

[TomWoodward]

Or just look here Hehe, sozz David

 

[Gabe Sigler]

Dave, thanks for the credit!
P.S- The cover-art doesn't seem to be working on your page.

 

[Matt Pasant]

If it includes the episode with Hugo Simpson, its a must buy for me.

[David Lambert]

I'll shoot Gord a note about the cover art. Tom, I'm not sure what "sozz" means, but if it means you kicked my ass then yep, you win. :wink:

 

[TomWoodward]

Hehe, sozz = Sorry! Guess it must be another lazy English word

 

[Paul.Mc]

Are they going to not release these episodes in the season sets now, or what?

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Are they going to not release these episodes in the season sets now, or what?

Sure they are - they can do both. Warner continues to produce both full-season sets for Friends as well as new compilations...

 

[Michael Harris]

Gracie films is the bottleneck.

Jeff, can you please provide a bit more info/links/etc on how this is the case? Not that I don't believe you but I would really like to know what is going on. After all, I don't want to "Fox bash" unless it is necessary.
