This may not be the actual release date. September 13 titles have aleady been announced by Sony, and this was not listed. I think if this ever comes out, it'll be in November or December, and not in September. I can tell you now, Sept. 13 is NOT the date.

That's great news for Benson fans! If this is the Christmas episode where Robert Guillaume sings "O Holy Night", someone on this message board is going to be very happy. I have to find the poster, but I know for sure someone was looking for this episode. :D

This is from last year but does anyone know the status of this item? I've tried to find it but I don't see it anywhere. I have a feeling it was never released.

The set never came about.
