Tomorrow is DVD Day
The DVDs are coming! The DVDs are coming!
Tomorrow, October 16, is the day the Studio 60 DVD set is finally released. I’ve got mine on order, and hope it will come on time or soon thereafter. I’m very interested in watching these episodes again absent the atmosphere of critical loathing that surrounded them during their broadcast debuts. It’s hard to shut that buzz out when you’re watching a show, hard not to think “Boy, they’re really going to pick on that” when a particular plot turn comes along.
According to the description of the set on the Warner Home Video site, the only extra we can expect is a commentary on the pilot episode by Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme. Amazon’s page doesn’t even list that, so I’m holding out a shred of hope that there may be other goodies that aren’t being promoted because the folks in charge thinks nobody much cares.
Once I get my set, I’m going to start doing recaps, memorable lines, and five questions about each episode, as I do on my Brothers & Sisters blog. They’ll be indexed on a separate page to make them a good resource for anybody discovering the show or wanting to remember particular episodes. I hope readers here will make their comments on those episode recaps as well, to share their own impressions.
Speaking of which: Share your thoughts on the DVD set here. Have you ordered it? Will you be running out to the store first thing tomorrow, or are you just planning to pick it up somewhere down the line? Or, maybe, not at all? Tell your plans in the comments, and what you hope to find when you open the box.
