Comedy, Kid-Vid & TV From Paramount In Q1'13

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!   Sort of goes with Kid-Vid and TV and Comedy, oh my!   Perhaps a stretch, but there is a certain alliteration to it … Kid-Vid and TV and Comedy, oh my!

At any rate, that’s what Paramount Home Media Distribution has planned for Q1’13 with a series of announcements this week featuring new DVD product offerings from Comedy Central and Nickelodeon … plus vintage TV collections.

Let’s get right to it.  First up on Jan. 15 is the Comedy Central special title Anthony Jeselnik: Caligula, which features the former writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in his 60-minute stand-up special.  

Also streeting on the same Jan. 15 date are two Let’s Learn DVDs from Nickelodeon and featuring Dora and the rest of her Nick, Jr. friends in two learning adventures targeted for the little ones — Let’s Learn: 1,2,3s and Let’s Learn: A,B,Cs.

Other Nickelodeon productions added to the schedule this past week include Bubble Guppies: When We Grow Up, which is slated for release on Feb. 5 and Dora the Explorer returns in three new adventures on Feb. 12 in Dora’s Butterfly Ball (featuring: “Loop-de-Loop,” “Butterfly Ball” and “Father’s Day!”).

On the TV-on-DVD front, Feb. 5 marks the arrival of the five-disc collection of Gunsmoke: The Seventh Season, Volume Two. 

The following week, Feb. 12, look for Bonanza: The Official Fifth Season, Volume One (a five-disc set), Bonanza: The Official Fifth Season, Volume Two (four discs in this one) and Matlock: The Eighth Season (a six-disc collection).
