Quantum Leap on June 8th!
 

TVShowsOnDVD is reporting Quantum Leap Season 1 will be released on June 8th!!

One of my favorite shows is FINALLY coming to DVD...

:D:D:D

2 dual-sided DVDs? Sounds like they don't want to put much effort and/or money into the packaging.

....but they don't mind charging $59.95 for a 2-disc set.

There are only 9 episodes. So as far as quality it should be pretty good. You have 4 sides to spread out those 9 episodes plus extras.

My guess would be Disc1, side A you have the 90 minute premier "Genesis." Then you have 1B and 2A each with 4 episodes, then 2B for extras.

I am wincing at the price though. That is HBO pricing there. Way to high. That is almost $7 an episode!

Hopefully that MSRP will lower a bit as the date gets closer.... but I am really looking forward to seeing Leap on disc.... woo hoo!

It's actually due to be released June 8th, not the 18th..

Oops. My bad. Thanks, Rob. I edited my original post...perhaps one of the mods would be so kind as to edit my Thread Title.

Thanks!

Thank the good lord.
FINALLY!

:D :up:

Good stuff!

Looking forward to this one too!

OH BOY!!


Can't wait for this to be released! :)

It would be nicer to have one-sided discs and the price is quite high but at least they are starting. :banana:

Maybe the specs and price will be revised before release if they listen to public opinion.

I must buy! When, NOW! Or at least when I can reserve it...

want it bad but way too expensive

Oh boo hoo. You'll be able to find this on-line (and in release week) for 35-40 bucks. Full retail price is for suckers.

Wahoo!

This just made my day. Now I can scrap my project of transferring my VCR tapes to DVD. I guess I'll just do that for the Dungeons & Dragons animated show now. I don't think we'll be seeing that on DVD ever.

I'll wait until release day or a sale price before I pay full retail for this, but I will be getting it at some point.
Now I wonder if they already have plans to release all the episodes, or if they are using this release as a pilot for the rest of the series. It would be a shame if they didn't release the rest of them, although I'm sure it will sell well based on current demand. I just hope they release these faster than the simpsons. :)

What - you mean like this DVD?

Nope. . . you'll never see that show on DVD. :)

Well sure, no one will pay $60. But one can get 22 episodes of Buffy for $35-$40.

They also come with artwork on the disc and... an insert. :)

Oh well, they know that many will buy it anyway and I will.

Yay!

Except for the price. And the fact that this is Universal we're talking about. I'm looking forward to fast-forwarding through 6 minutes of trailers before each episode.

But, yay!

As will I.

Holy crapola! Twice in one day :)

That's a Region 2 release, I wonder if it'll see a R1 release, or I'll just have to buy a region free player one of these days.

Thanks for the info! Now i can just toss out all my old vids. :D

At 60 bucks, they better have every song from the original broadcasts intact and Universal better not release this with any sort of glitches(that includes forced trailers!!!).

Can't wait! I would pay just about anything for this set, although I wish it was 4 single-sided discs w/disc art instead. A bit more classy, IMO. I hope they don't skimp on the extras. I sent a long list of ideas to Ms. Pratt through the fansite, as did other fans, so I hope they took those suggestions into account. Also, I think the popularity of this release will kick-start those QL spinoffs/movies that are rumored.

Great news!!
