Universal Home Video has just announced American Dreams: Season One - Extended Edition for release on September 7th. Not much has been revealed yet, except that it will be a seven-disc set featuring 25 episodes of the NBC musical drama from executive producer Dick Clark. Retail is going to be $89.98

Yay!!! in time for my birthday..thanks for that info..im so happy the dvd is coming out, its only 3 months away, exactly :p, wow that cheered me up :lol: thanks

$89.98 retail is quite a bit when you compare it to other recent tv releases, but there are a few more episodes then the usual 22 and the music rights had to be high. Hopefully all of the original music is included.

dang...i better start saving my money...maybe i can wait til december to get it for my bday!

18 Hours, 33 Minutes.

7-disc collection includes all 25 Season One episodes.

Packed with over 250 unforgettable rock 'n' roll hits exploding in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

(Executive Producer) Dick Clark remembers music superstars with rare footage from American Bandstand.

Hilarious gag reel featuring cast bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage.

Rarely seen music video featuring Stacie Orrico and the American Dreams cast.

Audio commentaries from Dick Clark and the American Dreams cast.

Released just in time for the season premiere on September 26th.

NBC and Universal unite for a massive media promotional event for this release, including promo spots that begin to run during the Summer Olympics.

The episodes themselves feature extended performances not seen on TV from musical guest stars such as Usher, Kelly Rowland, LeAnn Rimes, Michelle Branch and many others.


Not crazy about the cover (http://www.davisdvd.com/images/covers/americandreams_lg.jpg), it should have focused more on the cast than the musical performers.

Like I said in the above post but I'll changed it a bit......Maybe if we are lucky maybe Best Buy will have on Sale or something......I have a Best Buy by me in the mall.....So Im hoping when its out it will be on sale at BesTBuy if it comes out in that store.....Which when the time comes it should.....Mel :D

Seven discs, 5.1 dolby surround sound in two colorful digipaks with episode summaries included. Each disc has a different color background and different character:

disc 1 - Meg/red background
disc 2 - JJ/yellow
disc 3 - Jack & Helen/orange
disc 4 - Roxanne/purple
disc 5 - Patty/pink
disc 6 - Will/green
disc 7 - Sam/blue

Four episodes apiece on the first 6 discs, with the season finale "City On Fire" appearing on disc 7 by itself.

Full review coming soon.

I'm going to be able to get it the day it comes out, because I saved $100 from my graduation money especially for the DVD. :)

SitcomsOnline.com will have a review up very soon, in the next day or two. With shots of the menus, ads, and more.

the mention of Usher is enough to get me to buy it lol...

I wish it wasn't so pricey.....Or I would go Tuesday to get it......It's a bit too expensive for me......

I'll have to see if I can talk my mom into getting it for me for my Birthday which is November 7th.........

Or maybe it will be on sale.....I'll check it out when I'm near a store that will carry the dvd this week sometime after its released.....Melissa :) :D

Here's a positive review (http://www.classictvhits.com/promotions/reviews/americandreams/season1.htm) of the dvd set.

I have my copy! I got it at Best Buy for $69.99. Not bad. With some of the rest of my money I bought a new 10 pack of tapes to get ready for the 3rd season. I haven't watched any episodes on the DVD yet, but I can't wait to! I really love the cover and the discs are pretty. I just wish that Beth was on one of them.

I'm surprised they didn't include Henry on on of them.

Hi everyone!

I had this panic attac when I read a review about the American Dreams DVD Set on Amazon.com!!!

It said that on the DVD they don't have all the full episodes. They only have like a short summary of each one....

Can someone please tell me if this is true?:confused: Has anyone watched their DVD yet?

I don't think that's true. I've watched the whole first disc so far, and I believe that they have the full episode on each disc.

I don't know what they mean by that. There's a summary of the episode that you're watching when you go to it. Maybe that's it. :confused:

That review is wrong- there are all 25 episodes, plus more film of the musical performances. There are also audio commentaries and a music video.

No for 90.00 they better have the full 25 episodes or even if its 70.00....They said its not true.......So I wouldn't believe the amazon review....Mel :) :D

Thank you so much for letting me know about this!!!:D

I'm so glad that they show all the episodes in their full-length! Now, I can't wait to get my copy of the DVD, yay:)

The DVD is GREAT. I've been busy this week so I've only seen the first 2 but it is GREAT to see it again

one question.... where is the blooper reel?

I saw the DVD set in Target last night on sale for 69.99....I didn't buy it cause i have high Credit card bills I have to pay off.......

I told my mom about it and she said she'd get it for me for my Birthday which is November 7th.......I told her they only had Two copies there...She said she'd get it now........

My brother said to me last night while we were in Target and he saw me eyeing it......He asked if it just came out.....I said Tuesday the 7th and he said wait a little while longer it may go down even more in the price.....

so we;ll see what I decide to do.......I have 3 options....
1 Get it Next month,
2.Have mom give it to me for my 26th bday or
3. see if it goes down in price in a few months then buy it......Mel :) :D

There is no blooper reel on the dvd set, it's not even listed anywhere so that may have just been an early press release which are always subject to change.

Here's my belated review:

The site is pricey, but I think it's well worth it. You can probably order it online cheaper then you can find in stores unless you see it on sale.
