Newsradio Street Date May 24th
 

I was looking on DVD Aficionado, and then on the item listing at Amazon, and it looks like a release date may have been picked (5/24/05), anyone have info on this?

Looks like it hasn't been announced yet, so the date may change. (again)

It's looking good for that date.

I can confirm this date!

A 3-disc set - first two seasons (29 episodes!)

I'm going bitchcakes over this one, thanks Mao. I've been waiting for this one for too long.

I still keeping this release in the I'll believe it when I see the box on a shelf in the store category. I have been waiting for this for sometime so I refuse to get my hopes up and have them push back the release again.

I was hoping they were adding a 4th disc as before they postponed it it was 3 discs so they are keeping the disc count but adding whatever extras they postponed it for to that.

I can't wait for this release.

My only hope is that they release all of the seasons.

Great news - this is an <i>immediate</i> buy for me - probably my most anticipated sitcom release since <i>Sports Night</i>.

Sony officially announces release date May 24th :)

The exact list of extras hasn't been announced yet, but so far they're hinting about a Featurette, a Blooper Reel, Commentaries, Filmographies, Weblinks and Bonus Previews.

It's still 3 DVDs, running 660 mintues for every episode from the first two seasons, in their original network broadcast length.

Damn 29 eps on 3 discs? I've had this preordered for over a year, but I'm a little concerned about the vid quality, unless they make them flippers.

Title: Newsradio
Starring: Dave Foley
Released: 24th May 2005
SRP: $39.95

Further Details
Early details have also emerged on a two season release of Newsradio which stars the likes of Dave Foley, Stephen Root, Andy Dick and Maura Tierney. The three-disc set should arrive in shops from the 24th May this year, priced at around $39.95 or thereabouts. Each of the episodes will be presented in 1.33:1 full frame along with English Stereo tracks. Extras will include audio commentary, a blooper reel, filmographies, weblinks and some previews for other Columbia releases.

A lot of you have probably seen this already, but the NR set will have a whopping 20 commentaries! Damn...I think it's definitely worth the long, long wait, considering that these extras will probably be the last new NR content we'll ever get.

Excellent!!

My last STL purchase will finally be shipping! I can't wait!!!!!!

Is this still coming out? Amazon has it for that date but I haven't seen in reviews or promos for it. Nothing!

I was wondering the same thing.
I checked 5 or so sites, (buy,Amazon, Dvd Empire....) and they all have it for release may 24th, 2005. I am hoping so. I've been waiting a long time for this. Too bad there is no promoting on this. I want this to sell well so they can come out with the rest of the seasons.

It's ranked 42nd on Amazon's sales rank so atleast that is encouraging.

It is about freaking time! I've waited for this day for years now. I have every episode on VHS, but now I can finally retire the first two seasons because...

...I have it in my hands (the NewsRadio DVDs that is :eyebrow: ).

I haven't gotten a chance to watch them yet, but I am also worried about the quality with the content on the DVDs.

One of the first things I noticed was on the back:

"The Complete First and Secon Seasons!"

I hate spelling/typing mistakes on DVDs!

Regardless, it is great to have this on DVDs.

I had to e-mail Amazon customer service because they had 2010 as the delivery date. They sorted it out I hope and I should have this within a week or so.

Mine shipped from Amazon this morning.

So, what are the reactions. Does everyone love their sets? Are there any edits or is everything uncut and as originally aired? I love this show, and can not wait to pick it up. I'm going to go get it today.

I've noticed some weird playback in the first 3 episodes of disc one. Its like it jumps a few frames in a couple of spots in each episode.

My wife and I watched the first 4 episodes of the set last night and had no playbach problems. The transfer of first episode looked to be a bit off but nothing too bad.

Maybe my player is the problem? I'll try on another.
