Mill Creek Entertainment will
be SitCom central on Sept. 2 with the launch of not one, but three timeless TV
comedy classics … each are double-disc collections and feature separate SKUs
for the complete first and second seasons.
And best of all, each
collection is priced at just $9.98 each (and that’s before discounts at
retail).
First up is Soap,
a star-studded spoof that ran from 1977/78 through 1981/82 and featured the
Tates (Katherine Helmond, Robert Mandan, Jennifer Salt, etc.) and the Campbells
(Catherine Damon, Richard Mulligan) and all of the “soapish” goings on in
Dunn’s River, CT. Other members of the
cast included Billy Crystal, Robert Guillaume and Jimmy Baio.
Soap: Complete First Season sports 25 episodes, while Soap: The Complete Second Season
wrapped with 23.
Robert Guillaume’s Benson,
the Tate’s butler, was so popular as a character (the caustic wit and all) that
he was “spun-off” into his own series in 1979, Benson: The Complete First Season,
which is teamed with Benson: The Complete Second Season.
The third series ready
for fans to enjoy on Sept. 2 is What's Happening!!, starring Ernest
Thomas, Fred Berry and Haywood Nelson as a trio of black teens living in the
Watts area of Los Angeles. The series
was something of an extension to writer and series creator Eric Monte’s 1975
film, Cooley High.
Available from Mill Creek
Entertainment are 21 episodes from What’s Happening!!: Season One
(1976/1977 season) and 22 episodes from What’s Happening!!: Season Two
(1977/78 season).
Two weeks later, on Sept.
16, Michael Landon and Victor French return in the three-disc collection of Highway
to Heaven: The Complete Fifth Season … and on Oct. 28, Mill Creek
Entertainment will deliver a whopping 16-disc box set of Wings: The Complete Series.
