Car 54 - Original series coming to DVD early 2011

this is a must-buy for me...

 

If this is actually released I will definitely get both seasons.

 

I have them all from the masters sent to Metro Channel in NY years ago but good for the fans of this show to get it. Personally, I'd prefer something I don't have, like The Bill Dana Show for instance, but that's just me.

 

Any new updates on the series being released?
When do they plan to officially announce?
Thnx

 

Season 1 has been announced! Cover art, release date is here:

I havn't seen the show since it aired on Nick At Nite in the 80's so I can't wait to get this.

 

Hot damn! I can't wait! Gonna throw my DVD-R's in the trash!

 

Keeping fingers crossed the episodes will be UNCUT. Looking forward to seeing these again!

 

I believe they will be uncut, yes.

 

Yea...Bringing back my childhood ...OOh OOh OOh

 

I'm gonna jump all over this.

 

My wife and I can't wait for this to be released.

 

hey Groove Drummer, welcome to the forum! i see this is your #1 post...

 

Really? My thought was: Geez, I'm amazed they have all the prints, nicely annotated and boxed.

You half expect to see melted reels covered in cobwebs and discolored by cow urine when it comes to this stuff. It's nice when it was properly archived in the first place.

 

Thanks DJ WILBUR. I'm glad to be here.

 

I've gotten to see three episodes on a dvd that are "preview episodes" that I guess are going out to journalists and what not...I think they look really sharp and the show is really well written. I only remember this from when i was a little boy, so seeing them as an adult, I now get why there is a loyal fanbase, nothing else quite like this show and I like the way it captures NYC.

 

...will Season 1 be available at Amazon.com to order as well?

 

I imagine so, yes.

 

sure, its a regular retail release which should be with any dvd retailer who wants to stock it.

 

Thanks for the update! One question: does this release have English subtitles? These can be hit or miss with smaller labels due to the cost.

 

EXCELLENT! Thanks...can't wait.

 

A little more than a month to go and so far no pre-order on Amazon yet.

 

I know...I check daily!

 

The set has been pushed back until April

Thnx for the heads up

Apparently they needed more time to produce the sets
