Some DVD Answers; Full Season Pick-Ups

Thursday, October 20, 2005

We have found out some answers to some of our own questions recently. A&E Home Video will release Ellen Season 3 on February 28. Be sure to buy a copy when it arrives.
Remember last week when I mentioned Maude could be paired up with "Archie Bunker?" Sony has told me that when they said "Archie Bunker" they did indeed mean Archie Bunker's Place! So we can expect season one of Archie Bunker's Place sometime in 2006. Some may think that is strange since we are only on season 5 of All in the Family. Remember Season 5 hits stores January 3. All in the Family lasted nine seasons, so we would be about halfway through when season five arrives. After season 9 All in the Family basically turned into Archie Bunker's Place, a follow-up series. I am expecting Archie Bunker's Place and Maude to be paired up. We hope to find out more information soon. Remember to check TVShowsonDVD.com for official information.

And two more new series have been picked-up for the remainder of the season. Variety reported that ABC's hit Tuesday drama Commander in Chief has been picked up for the remainder of the season. And we will be the first ones to announce this, but ABC has told me that they also picked up the mysterious supernatural drama Invasion for the remainder of the season! ABC will have a press release on both pick-ups very soon. Earlier in the week NBC sort of picked up the supernatural drama Surface for "additional episodes." They did not state how many, though. Chief and Invasion will get at least 22 episodes this season.
