Hercules season 5 DVD details announced

[marycrawford]

TVshowsonDVD.com has just posted the official details of Anchor Bay's fifth season DVD box set for Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, including a picture of the box art. Here are the details, italics mine:

As we mentioned last time, this has a $69.98 SRP, for a 9-DVD set. Besides the 22 episodes that comprise the show's next-to-last season, it also contains a long list of supplements:

* Audio Commentaries by: Kevin Sorbo, Michael Hurst, Eric Gruendemann and more! (Yay!)
* Interviews with Cast and Crew including: Kevin Sorbo & Michael Hurst, Paul Robert Coyle, Michael Levine, Hudson Leick, Joel Tobeck, Noreen Tobin & Gene O'Neill and more!
* Featurette: "Bringing Monsters to Life at K.N.B. EXF Group" (ETA: This was already on the fourth season box set, as falzalot pointed out.)
* Featurette: Dailies from "Stranger in a Strange World" (ETA: And so was this. Mistake in the listing, or what?)
* Behind-the-Scenes Interviews with Cast & Crew (um, yeah, see above! So good they listed it twice?)
* Photo Gallery
* Direct Access Scenes
* CD-ROM including Director and Actor Bios, Series Trivia, Chronicles, and Production Drawings

Note that there are usually several stores who sell the box set far below the listed price once it's closer to its release date; right now Best Buy has it on pre-order for $69.99, but that price usually drops to $50 or less. Also, Best Buy probably has an 'exclusive bonus', but these are not as special as they were for the first two seasons; you get 30 minutes of mixed cast/crew interview clips taken from the other interviews.

It's possible they mean both interviews done specifically for the dvds, off the show set, and interviews that were done on the set of the show? Behind the scenes? Maybe. Probably not, but. *g*

My dvds should be here. I have time off!!!

Yay, time off! Buff guys with swords!

And I hope your interpretation is correct, because I love it. *g*

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Time off and DVDs! What a wonderful thing to have together! :->

[elynross.livejournal.com]

But they aren't *here*! And sadly, probably won't be. *g*

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

Oh, eek! I thought you meant 'should be here' as in 'will be here when I get home'. Damn. Am sending good postal vibes.

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Ack! I thought the same thing!

And suprnova only has S3 currently. Darn! And if I tried to send you something, it would take forever and 3 years to transfer. *sigh*

[elynross.livejournal.com]

I am home! And they are not. *g* I just ordered 'em last Saturday!

ooh, nice icon.

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

I hope they get there extra extra speedy, then. *g*

thanks!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yea! Thanks for the great info! Something to look forward to!

Re: thanks!

You're welcome - and yeah, same here. ;-)

Wait a minute. They already GAVE us the dailies from Stranger in a Strange World! That was in S4! I ~watched~ them! I remember -- they made me seasick!

How cheapo can you get?!

I probably won't bother getting the best buy version this time, since I haven't been overly impressed with their 'bonus' on the sets I actually did get there.

Unless they're going to do bloopers again - man, that would be awesome. :->

Dude, you're absolutely right! And 'Bringing Monsters to Life' was in the 4th season set too. Hmm. I think this has to be a mistake. I really can't imagine them adding the same extras twice. OK, I can, but I'd rather not.

Mary, thinking of telling TVShowsonDVD

Well, at least we know what the dvd set cover looks like, even if some of the details are incorrect.
