More on Month Three for AOL's In2TV; WHV Chat Recap, 'Ellen' S4 DVD

A few days ago we gave you a first look at In2TV's third month. They have given us more info now and the third month episodes have officially launched today! We told you that they were adding Max Headroom and The Ben Stiller Show. Well, that is not all! They will be adding two new channels and a lot of shows will be on these two channels. The new channels are "Get Real TV" - a channel focusing on reality TV series and "Gone But Not Forgotten TV" - a channel showcasing short-lived series, with some unaired episodes FINALLY airing!
The list of new shows launching today are: Elimidate, Change of Heart, Moral Court,
People's Court, and The Will (Get Real TV); Max Headroom, The George Carlin Show, The Ben Stiller Show, Wanda at Large, Center of the Universe, and The Michael Richards Show (Gone But Not Forgotten TV).

They will also celebrate Father's Day with classic themed episodes from their series. The Father's Day episodes are: Chico and the Man ("Chico's Padre"), Eight is Enough ("The Boyfriend"), Growing Pains ("Weekend Fantasy"), George Carlin Show ("George Likes a Good War"), All About the Andersons ("Time Bandit") and Lois & Clark ("Requiem for a Superhero").

Please visit our In2TV third month page from a few days back, because we have edited the entry to showcase these changes and the episode info for the new sitcoms that were added (All About the Andersons, Center of the Universe, George Carlin Show, Michael Richards Show, and we will call Wanda at Large and The Ben Stiller Show sitcoms, too). We also finally got the fifth new episode each for Perfect Strangers, Head of the Class and F Troop for month three. So, head on back over there!

Last night Warner Home Video came by at HTF for its annual TV chat. We really didn't learn much, but we can expect season sets of Mama's Family "later this year" and Two and a Half Men "in 2007." We can expect complete series box sets possibly for Friends and The West Wing. Other series they said they are evaluating (Perfect Strangers) or have no plans at this time (Our House). You can read the full chat transcript (which includes the crazy Everwood fans asking repeatedly about that show) here.
And a little birdie tells me we can expect season four of Ellen from A&E Home Video on Aug. 29!
