TV NEWS SEPTEMBER 28

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/09/digital-digest-family-ties-complete.html


Welcome to Digital Digest! This week, we have a review of the 1978 Hanna-Barbera TV movie The Beasts are on the Streets, along with all of your other regular features. Let's get started!

DIGITAL NEWS

This week, a list of special features for the upcoming CBS release of Family Ties - The Complete Series was released, and while there is only one additional bonus disc, it appears that it will include a lot of great goodies. Among those goodies are archival interviews, a 2008 cast reunion, the pilot for the spinoff The Art of Being Nick, an episode of Day by Day featuring a Family Ties crossover, a sales presentation, a blooper reel, and more. It appears that those who purchased the individual seasons are out of luck on these bonus features, for now at least, although we're certainly hopeful that there will be some option to purchase this separately in the future as has been done with a few other releases from CBS.

It has been a little over a year since we last saw a release of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from Universal, and it appears that we are finally about to see the next season in Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Season Six. But it won't be a traditional release as the first five seasons have been. Instead, it appears that Universal will be dipping their toes into MOD releases with this release, something that we have not seen much of from Universal as far as TV series are concerned. With this release, we'll be left with only one more season of the half-hour version of the series to be released on DVD.
