New Sports Night DVD set is coming!

Well, this is exciting news, especially as we’ve just embarked on a re-viewing of all those old episodes: Shout! Factory, known for feature-packed sets of TV cult classics, is coming out with a 10th anniversary edition of Sports Night. It’s sure to be an improvement over the old set, which had zero special features. Here’s what we can expect, according to a press release on the TV Shows on DVD site:
“Marking 10 years after Sports Night’s initial premiere on network television, the multiple award-winning cast and creative team come together for the first time on DVD when Shout! Factory presents Sports Night: The Complete Series 10th Anniversary Edition DVD box set on September 30, 2008. Offering the first comprehensive Sports Night experience ever, the 8-DVD collector’s box set contains all 45 acclaimed episodes, a special 10th Anniversary book, and 2 full discs of exclusive bonus features that reveal the genesis, life and afterlife of the series with all-new interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes, gag reels, deleted scenes, and commentaries featuring the principal cast and creative team. You don’t have to know sports to enjoy Sports Night. The collectable 10th Anniversary Edition of Sport Night: The Complete Series DVD box set is priced to own at $69.99.”
Well, I’m excited about all the goodies. I’ve got to think those commentaries are going to be pretty hilarious, and there are some good deleted scenes that have never seen the light of a TV screen. I wish it didn’t cost so much, especially to essentially replace something we already own, but I suppose they know there’s no way we’re not going to want this regardless. I’ll be finding a way to justify the cost to myself. How ’bout you?
