#1-We receive our second confirmation from a Fox executive at Home Theater Forum that the final episodes of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" will be out by year's end, so expect an announcement on that come August-September if it's timed for a December release.
Oh man that would be great. Finally.

Anybody familiar with a '60s show called The Mothers-in-Law ? I've never heard of it. Complete series released on DVD today. Ultra-cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Law-Complete-8pc/dp/B003JHXS5A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1280245071&sr=1-6
The series was a co-production of Desi Arnaz Productions and United Artists Television for NBC. Until recently, the rights to this series have complicated in terms of distribution outside of home video. A number of entities, among them Desilu, Too (successor to Arnaz Productions), Eve Arden's estate, MGM (which is a majority owner of UA), and CBS Television Distribution (successor to the original Desilu company), have been believed to have some involvement in the rights, and many different companies (including The Samuel Goldwyn Company, whose holdings are, in part, also owned by MGM) have re-issued the series in syndication, mostly in scratchy 16MM prints. Whatever the case, both the copyright and the underlying rights to the series now stand with Desilu, Too.
MPI Home Video (under license from Desilu, Too) will release the complete series of The Mothers-in-Law on DVD in Region 1 on July 27, 2010. This new release will include a new introduction from Desi Arnaz, Jr., an interview with Kaye Ballard (one of the few surviving stars of this series), original sponsor tags, cast commercials, scripts for unproduced episodes, and other failed pilots from Arnaz Productions.

Wait a month or two, you'll find used and discounted copies by the bushel on Amazon. I'm not impatient enough to spend that kind of money.

Although these are not truly vintage titles by my definition, I mention them to note that Warner is now entering the "MOD" approach for TV series releases, but instead of a vintage title this is what they'll be doing with S4 of "Night Court" and S2 of "Falcon Crest" respectively.
Are we talking CD-Rs here? Man I hope that doesn't become the norm. "Hey, here's a wonderful season box set, but it'll start crapping out in about 10 years. Enjoy!" Ugg.
