I loved this show, I would definetely buy this on release day. After the original actors of the show left the series faltered a bit I thought. But the first two seasons would be a definate buy for me. I'm going to write down the possible release day now.

Seems the date has not been formally announced. In my excitement reading the article, I thought 6/13/08 was a possible release date. Sorry if my header was misleading.
Still, I would LOVE to revisit this series. I have fond memories of it as a 12 year old sitting in my parents basement on Saturday nights waiting for this to come on. I hope this comes out.

Terrific news. The first season contains the David Cronenberg directed episode as well. I agree, it started going downhill in season 3, but hopefully all three seasons will show up eventually.

Sounds to me like the studio is trying to gauge interest in this set. I suppose signing up for the pre-purchase plan is like a vote for its release and if they don't get enough people they will let the project die. I'm also guessing I can cancel the Amazon order later in order to buy elsewhere if cheaper.

I'm sure dozens of bootleggers are quaking at the thought of no longer being able to gouge horror fans for this series at conventions. Personally, I've never seen it.

I was only 15 when this show was on and sporatically watched it while in High School. I do recall being a fan of Robey (Micki)

I don't know if I've ever seen a full episode of this. I remember tuning in and being disappointed when I found out there was no Jason. That said, I'd probably spring for a complete set since I've heard so much about it.. so I'll wait.

Nice. Now give me Freddys Nightmares, and I will really be happy!

I'm just glad that I'll be able to upgrade to the official release. It is a great series that was hampered by a lame title.
