Another good series coming out on DVD! Nov 11.

[Deja Q]

"Three's Company" season 1.

The release is being pushed ahead because of Ritter's untimely death. (despicable reason as that's crass commercialization, but it's a hilarious show that I'd buy any day anyway. So I'm glad it's being put ahead. Pity it's only 6 episodes, and at $20 which seems rather pricey for an American show, but I'm not aware of the extras and I bet there will be a few.)

Following John Ritter's tragic death last week, Anchor Bay has changed their plans for the Three's Company - Season 1 DVD release. Originally, the schedule was to be working with him right now on supplements for Season 1.

With consumer interest high for this release from fans who want to celebrate Ritter's great talent, Anchor Bay has decided to release Three's Company - Season 1 on Tuesday, November 11, 2003. It will be a 1-disc release with an SRP of $19.98, featuring the 6 episodes from the very short rookie year (note that the show was launched as a spring replacement):

A Man About The House
...And Mother Makes Four
Roper's Niece
No Children, No Pets
Jack the Giant Killer
It's Only Money

Presented in its original full-frame video and English Mono audio, it won't have any of the supplements that had been originally planned. Instead, these will be saved for a Season 2 multi-disc Special Edition DVD release that is tentatively planned for the first quarter of 2004.

Finally, for those of you asking about the unaired pilots for the show, each of which featured alternate actresses for the female leads: Anchor Bay regets that they do not currently have these pilots available to them for inclusion. Therefore these will not be on the upcoming DVD.

Still, we can assume that the door is always open to possibly get them on one of the future season sets; there are 8 seasons in total. And we here plan to enjoy each and every one of them! Our thanks to Alain Grenier and Bob Truong for their assistance with this news item
