Fatherhood on Nick@Nite; A&E TV DVD Update; Sony Day 2 of 3 TV DVD News

Nick@Nite has issued press material on the second batch of new episodes for season two of the hit animated comedy, Fatherhood. The series stars Blair Underwood and Sabrina LeBeauf and is executive produced by Bill Cosby for Nick@Nite along with Charles Kipps (Little Bill, Cosby Mysteries), Mike Milligan (The Jeffersons, Dear John, Here and Now) and David Brokaw (Little Bill). The season premiere on October 18 guest stars Henry Winkler. Other guest stars throughout the season include Betty White, Wayne Brady, Tavis Smiley, Ed Asner and Lou Rawls. Jim Belushi and Don Knotts reprise their roles from this past spring. To view the episode information click here.

We spoke to A&E Home Entertainment on future installments of Ellen, and it doesn't look good for that sitcom. Many people have asked us why the sudden slow-down on Ellen. The first two seasons have been released on DVD, but as of now, they have no plans to release seasons three and on. Poor sales must be the reason. The Benny Hill Show has been doing decent for them, so we can expect Set 4 of the hit British comedy on January 31!

Finally, our three-part Sony TV DVD News feature. Yesterday I mentioned Party of Five's second season coming Dec. 20, today I will release one of the two "returning" sitcoms that I have found out about. We can expect to see more Archie, the dingbat, the Meathead, and the little girl on January 3, as Sony releases season 5 of All in the Family! Speaking of All in the Family, the hit spin-off The Jeffersons Season 4 streets today--buy your copy today so we can speed up on that series! Remember, this title has not been officially announced yet so it could be moved to another date. Keep checking TVShowsonDVD.com for official information.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the other returning sitcom from Sony in January and some answers to some of your questions regarding Sony TV DVDs! Be sure to come back tomorrow!
