Guest Krazy Karter Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=1134&Nav=Yes With the original DVD release of Quantum Leap - The Pilot Episode being long out-of-print, fans of the show have longed for Universal Home Entertainment to bring the beloved series back to DVD in season sets. We knew something was in-the-works last November, when reports surfaced that Deborah Pratt - who was heavily involved in the show - had mentioned in an interview that she was called in to do some work on the new home video version. Now the waiting is over, and the countdown to the street date begins. This morning, Universal Home Video announced that Quantum Leap - Season 1 will make the leap home on June 8th. The nine hours of programming that made up the rookie season - including the pilot episode "Genesis" from the out-of-print item - will arrive on 2 dual-sided DVDs, at a $59.98 SRP. Right now details are thin, with no details on the specs, no extras mentioned so far (though we're sure there will be some, since Ms. Pratt participated on the release), and no cover art to show you yet. Still, it's great to know that Sam, Al, and Ziggy will be coming back home this summer, in one of the most-requested releases here at the site (in the top 10!). Stay tuned, and we'll be back just as soon as Universal circulates the remaining information about this box set. :: high-fives BPS ::
chaosrage Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 $60 for 8 episodes? I love quantum leap but thats pretty expensive.
Guest Astro Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 *Marks out til he reads price* *Remembers he can buy Online hong Kong Bootlegs for 1/3 of that price* *rejoices!*
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Have...no...choice... must...pay...anything *will regret nothing* *until I see the price for the 22 episode seasons 2-5*
Guest EQ Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Yeah. That's great news, but that price needs to come the fuck down.
Guest El Satanico Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 The first season was only 8 episodes? That sucks and I don't know why studios release a short season by itself. They should do a season 1/season 2 box set in cases like this. The price listed is just the Suggested Retail price, The retail price will be lower.
WrestlingDeacon Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I think QL was a midseason replacement. I'd have to check that out. We've been tracking this in my column on 411 lately and I'll have to pass this info on. That price tag is a killer though.
