Paramount Home Media Distribution Announces New DVD And Blu-ray Releases For Early July

Paramount Home Media Distribution unleashed a flurry of new Blu-ray and DVD SKUs that are scheduled to be retail-ready during the first two street-date Tuesdays in July (July 7 and July 14).

Leading the parade — and streeting on on July 14 — is the latest two-and-a-half hour collection of Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael adventures, which is titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Return to NYC!    

Included in this collection of seven thrill-packed adventures is the recently aired two-part episode, Battle for New York Part 1 and Battle for New York Part 2, which finds the boys locked in battle with Kraang Subprime and his minions with the future of the people of New York City at stake!

Bonus features include “Mutation of a Scene” for all seven episodes.

Also streeting on July 14 is the five-disc Blu-ray collection of I Love Lucy: The Ultimate Season Two.   This particular season had the best Lucy episode ever … “Job Switching,” which Lucy fans know as the “Lucy and the Chocolate Factory” fiasco.    It gets special treatment in this collection with a newly-prepared colorized presentation and a French-Canadian listening option.

Bonus nuggets include a May of 1953 comedy sketch from The Red Skelton Show and a 1952 broadcast of Stars in the Eye showcasing the cast from I Love Lucy.

Comedy Central is teaming with Paramount Home Media Distribution on July 7 for three DVD volumes of Comedy Central Stand-Up Vault.   Three-hours of stand-up comedy is included on each DVD presentation from such greats as Ron White, Jeff Dunham, Zach Galifianakis, Patton Oswalt, Amy Schumer and more.

And lastly, July 7 brings to retail the three-disc DVD collection from Nickelodeon, Play Date Pack, featuring Dora, the Bubble Guppies and more ... a total of seven hours of fun-packed animated adventures.
