Every Tuesday I take a look at obscure and/or classic television programs, specials, miniseries or made-for-TV movies being released on DVD. For the record I consider anything broadcast prior to 1980 to be classic or else there wouldn’t be much to discuss. The releases referred to in these posts are encoded for Region 1 use in the United States and Canada.
Out today from Shout! Factory is Here Come the Brides – The Complete 2nd Season, containing all 26 episodes from the 1969-1970 season. This comes almost six years after the first season was released on DVD (way back in May of 2006) by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Also out today, from MPI Home Video, is Here’s Lucy – Season 5, with all 24 episodes from the 1972-1973 season. Bonus features include new episodic introductions from Lucie Arneaz (and others), a featurette on Desi Arnaz, Jr., Lucy on The Donny & Marie Show and more. Only one season remains to be released and based on the release schedule for the past three seasons (one a year), fans may not see Season 6 on DVD until 2013.
