It was suppose to originally, but due to the death of John Ritter they moved it up to November 11. You can pre-order it today and save money since when Nov 11 comes around it'll cost more. John was suppose to do the extras for the DVD in a few weeks too, now season 1 won't have any extras.

As for the stores, I'm sure it'll be in stores. But buying it online will be easier since you will find it for sure. I suggest everyone to pre-order it ASAP before it sells out, I'm sure it'll be a hit.

Is this some sort of budget compilation of the first season? I've seen other TV shows crop up for ultra low prices in bargain bins, such as "The Beverly Hillbillies."

It's disappointing that there will be absolutely no extras, though.

They had lots of extras planned for this season set. Now they won't be in them until they release season 2 in early 2004. Of course one big extra will be missing, John Ritter's interviews :(

Great deal! Considering the MSRP is $19.99 (which makes each episode just over $3 a pop, considering there's only 6 episodes in the first season)... this deal though chimes in at nearly $2 an episode (which still isn't fantastic considering Sanford & Son Season 2 ended up near $1 an episode).

Not sure if I'll order from that site or just wait and see if the local Walmart get's it in. Tough call.

Any artwork for the DVD yet?

I've checked some sites and none have a picture posted as of now.

I'm so excited for it!

No offense, but I am a cheapo. As long as Nick-at-Nite aires reruns, I am not buying anything I can easily record myself from TV.:eek:

Why wouldn't you want a FULL LENGTH episode? N@N eps are CUT to fit in mre commercials. These episodes on the DVD are the full length 25 mn eps as they aired on ABC. You need to rethink that.

Three's Company on DVD, will be great!

25 minutes each??

Thats almost 5 extra minutes on each episode.


Im not going to order it online though, Ill pick it up at Best Buy on the 11th.

17 Minutes!!!!! Are u counting the opening and end theme songs

Correction 19 minutes. and no i didn't count the opening and ending themes. i don't think those should be counted.

exactly, opening and closing credits have nothing to do with the episode.

Well, the on the DVD, they're part of the 25 minutes.
Its not 25 minutes of the episode + opening and ending credits.


So maybe it should count....

Come and Knock on Our Door... We've Been Waiting for You!

- Anchor Bay Entertainment Releases Three's Company Season One on DVD
- Proceeds From the Sale of the DVD to be Donated to a Charity Very Close to John Ritter, United Cerebral Palsy

TROY, Mich., Oct. 2 -- Anchor Bay Entertainment brings Jack, Janet, Chrissy, Larry and the Ropers to your living room on November 11, 2003. The DVD will contain all episodes, including the pilot, from season one with a suggested retail price of $19.98.

"In response to considerable retailer and consumer demand, we've accelerated the plans for the release of Three's Company Season One," commented David Vasile, president of Anchor Bay Entertainment. "We plan to donate a portion of the proceeds to United Cerebral Palsy in memory of John Ritter who was closely involved with UCP since the late '70s."

For more than 15 years, John Ritter was involved with United Cerebral Palsy as host of the annual telethon. He also gave his time to support the activities of the local UCP chapter in Los Angeles and the national organization.

In an agreement with DLT Entertainment Ltd. formed this past summer, Anchor Bay Entertainment will distribute subsequent seasons of the highly-popular television show, Three's Company, on DVD.

Three's Company originated from a British comedy series, Man About the House, and its concept as a television show was brought to the U.S. in the late '70s. The show was pitched to all networks but each one turned it down. Some time later, ABC contacted the creators and gave the green light for a pilot. Over one year and three pilots later, the first episode of Three's Company aired on March 15, 1977.

The cast was formed to include John Ritter as Jack Tripper, Joyce DeWitt as Janet Wood and Suzanne Somers as Chrissy Snow. John Ritter was cast in the first round of auditions but Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers were not the original Janet and Chrissy. Disney CEO Michael Eisner, then an ABC programming executive, stepped in and suggested new girls cast in those roles. DeWitt got the role as Janet after the role was recast and Sommers got the role of Chrissy after two other actresses cast as Chrissy did not seem to embody the character. Eisner also played an instrumental role in inspiring the casting of Norman Fell and Audra Lindley as the nosy landlords, Mr. and Mrs. Roper. Three's Company became one of the highest-rated television series ever and continues to be a worldwide favorite.

Over the past year, the genre of television series on DVD has had an amazing sales growth. According to the DVD Release Report, it is projected that TV series-related DVD releases will have doubled by 2004 and is definitely one of the most popular and hottest categories in the DVD market. Three's Company has appeared consistently on various consumer wish lists of titles they want released on DVD.

Anchor Bay Entertainment has established itself as a haven for some of the world's greatest filmmakers and studios. Over the past few years, critics and producers as well as the media have praised the company for its quality releases. USA Today singled out ABE for its "consistent excellence" in DVD releases.

In addition to releasing extraordinary feature films, the company distributes one of the most popular children's video series, Thomas & Friends. The series has received numerous awards and endorsements, been awarded platinum-selling status and ranks consistently on the Top 50 chart of children's weekly video sales (VideoScan). Anchor Bay Entertainment is #1 in market share for fitness (VideoScan), with such chart-topping brands as the "Crunch" and "For Dummies" series.

Anchor Bay Entertainment is a division of North Coast Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Handleman Company. Anchor Bay Entertainment and Handleman Company can be accessed via the web by visiting www.anchorbayentertainment.com and www.handleman.com .

As one who does not own a DVD player (yet), what is the capacity of the DVD disks? What I am getting at is, can the entire first season fit on one DVD?

Long live TC!!!!!

Well, season one is only six episodes. So it'll fit on one disc. For season two, which is twenty-five episodes, it'll probably take three or four discs.

All of my dreams have come true and i am so ready for this, Nov. 11th can't get here fat enough for me! :D

I have been recording TC episodes on N@N ever since TC was on since October 2000! There are indeed cut versions. Half of my recorded episodes are a total length of approximately 22 minutes. But it'll be nice to have the entire episodes, I hope it will be!

You can pre-order it at Amazon.com for $13.99 (great price for a show's entire season), and the shipping is free if you don't mind them shipping between 2 to 9 days after its release date. That's what I did, so I won't get mine until mid- to late-November. :)

Has anyone else noticed the cover art for season one? It looks like a picture from season four! I can't wait for the DVD to come out next month!

mine from Barnes and Noble, b/c Amazon didn't have it listen then, and it was 15.98 plus S & H! I guess it really doesn't matter where we get it from, as long as we get it! So that hopefully we will get all 8 seasons on DVD!:)

Now there is a 15 second promo available to watch for the DVD! Please visit my DVD section and view the promo:

If you have not bought the season one set yet, please do so. There are buying links on that section.

Just ordered mine! :)

:D

can't wait to see the original version on dvd:)

I got my copy today. An advanced copy for review. So I'll be reviewing it this week, and let you guys know how it is (before it comes out on Nov. 11) with a formal review on my DVD section. I'll watch it tonight or something this week.

Also, production on season two is underway. And guess who is helping? :)
You'll see my website's name in the credits section when season two comes out in early 2004.

About one more week till it comes out!!!

How is everyone able to get an advanced copy of the DVD? From what order allows that? I bought mine from Amazon.com, and I chose the "free" shipping method which can be anywhere from 2-11 days of shipping to me after the 11th's release. I really want mine badly!!!! I can't wait!!! :D

No one has a copy here yet, but me. The other two people said they ordered it today. The reason I have a copy is, they want a review for it, since I run a huge fan website.

Hey Pav....

Please not 1-6.

No set date yet, but it should be in early 2004. Closer to the spring (possibly in March, since that is when the TC anniversary is).

I have posted my review on my DVD section. I am trying not to give everything away. But please do read:

http://jacksbistro.freeservers.com/dvds.html

I think you did any excellent job with your review of the TC DVD. It's very well written.:)

I've got it marked down on my calender, and i'm counting the days down.

Last night I picked this up at FYE.
$17.99


havent watched it all yet though.

fye, ALWAYS gets movies early.
Thank God I found this.



I cant wait until season 2....


If you cant wait.... go to your local FYE!!

I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed. You think they would have paid a little more attention to detail. Does this mean that when they get around to season six, Chrissy will still be on the cover??

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the DVD is already out at K-Mart for $14.99. I bought my DVD this morning, and I'm now watching the episode "It's Only Money." It's nearing the cut N@N version where the Dean says about the kids living the door open to trick the burglars! I can't wait!! I love this part in this episode.... :D

I picked up my copy up at Fye yesterday; I was so anxious to buy it; I couldn't help but to watch the entire disk. I'm definitely planning to get the second season when it is released in Spring 2004 and I'm hoping that both of the first two seasons are successful so we can get the rest of the seasons will follow.

I found it at Best Buy for $12.99. Unbelievable price IMO. How could I NOT buy it!:)

Same here. And BB must be trying to push it because there were a ton of copies on the shelf.

I went to Best Buy and they completly sold out so I went to K-Mart and it was a few dollars more but I couldn't wait, I had to get it.

Yeah, I also got it at Best Buy for also $12.99 , very nice deal! There was only 10 left on the shelf!

This week I am going to visit Best Buy to see how many are still left on the shelves. :)

I went to Best Buy on the 11th and I couldn't find it there.. I got mine at Circuit City.

I think I'm cursed in regards to the DVD...I got mine yesterday at Best Buy for $12.99, and when I got home "It's Only Money" wouldn't play because the disc was scratched.

I went back today and got a new disc...it's also scratched and won't play "It's Only Money".

Oh well, I guess I'll have to return this one also...I have to say I love seeing all the parts N@N cut out and the picture quality is great.

Actually, I think it's an accurate price considering you're getting no bonuses (deleted scenes, documentaries, commentaries) and only 6 episodes in mono sound.

I had the same problem. I watched every episode and was very pleased with the picture quality and not having the N@N logo on the screen. Then I started to watch "It's only Money" and the DVD wouldn't play past the opening credits:confused:
We can't be the only two people having this problem.

I just got my copy from DVD Empire a couple of days ago, and it's great!! Thanks for the heads up!!

I got mine at Suncoast for $15 on like Sunday and it was the final copy left. :) All the eps played fine on my DVD player - I got the good copy. ;)

Everything works fine on mine.

Except for the deleted scenes, commentaries, documentarys, and bloopers.

Ohh wait.... nobody got that.



I cant wait until Season 2!!

The DVD is great! I can`t wait till season 2 comes out. I wonder if they`ll interview any of the cast.

I got mine on the first day it came out! my favorite episode is the Dog one :lol:

Good question! They ought to!! And I also enjoyed the idea of the bloopers. They should do that.. oh, and the two original unaired pilots trying to find the right actresses for John Ritter should be too... ahh.. the endless possibilities!!!! :D

I got it for Christmas- amazing episodes on it!

Got mine a few weeks ago and it was really great to watch the show in english for the first time!
But were the episodes really uncut? They were totally the same as they aired in germany a few years ago! No new scenes for me!
