Will & Grace: Series Finale in May

Just as the title says, a popular Canadian e-tailer C&L (www.thecnl.com) is listing "Will And Grace Series Finale" on DVD to be released May 23 06. I searched Amazon.ca and .com and there's nothing yet listed by them. It's listed as being released by Maple Pictures which is the newer Canadian distribution name for Lionsgate Entertainment.

Very typical...considering NBC did the same with Friends.

Fixed.

[And to a different extent, Paramount released the final season of Fraiser onto DVD shortly after it's run ended, despite the other seasons (besides one), not being released yet.]

It's been officially confirmed. No extras yet.

And it will be fullscreen which sucks.

From DavisDVD:

Marking the end of the popular NBC sitcom's eight-year run, Will & Grace: The Series Finale lands onto DVD on May 23rd - a mere five days after the episode's network airing. Released through Lionsgate Home Entertainment, the disc will feature the 45-minute episode along with extras (subject to change) including exclusive cast interviews and themed featurettes, an outtake reel, the original pilot episode and audition reels. Retail will be $9.98. Look for the complete fifth season of the series to be released later this year.
I'll pick this up (unless the finale sucks, which is a definite possibility) since at the rate they're releasing these, season 8 won't be out for a few years...

The finale was written by the creators of the show. They came back specifically for this episode. Although I know what happens, I'm interested in seeing how they execute it.

Wow, I didn't know the creators came back for the finale. That's awesome.

I just wish they could have come back for the last two seasons...

Doesn't include the hour long retrospective. Just saw it in the store today.

I'm sure I'll be doubly disappointed and it'll be full screen.

I'll probably pick this up eventually, mostly to remind me why I'm not getting anything after Season 5.

forgive my naivete, but.....

why would something broadcast in widescreen two weeks ago be released in fullscreen?

(which, sadly, it certainly is...)

...on a dvd with an anamorphic menu no less?

and have the previous seasons sold poorly enough to put the remaining seasons release at risk?

Who the hell knows. All of season 8 and most of season 7 were in HD. Unfortunately, they're all going to be released in full screen. In the UK, Season 7 is completely full screen and the Season 8 release is supposed to be the same. Sad.

They do this with Law & Order as well...and I'm sure many, many others.

Interesting. The UK version had no featurettes nor bloopers. Nice to know they "bothered" to put them on here. Can't believe how fucked this show has been on DVD. Barely any extras, syndicated episodes, full screen instead of widescreen...etc etc.
