Paramount Home Media
announced some long-lead TV-on-DVD selections this past week that will be
available for fans to enjoy in late January and early February of next year.
Arriving on Jan. 29 as a
double disc, eight-episode set is the high school crime satire, American
Vandal: Season One, starring Griffin Gluck (Private Practice, Back in the
Game, Red Band Society) and Tyler Alvarez (Every Witch Way) as
would-be documentary filmmakers out to prove the innocence of a fellow
classmate charged with an obscene case of vandalism against 27 members of the
faculty at their high school.
The drama of high school
life is laid bare in this mockumentary-style series created by Dan Perrault (The
Screen Junkies Show) and Tony Yacenda.
Every little thing that happens in the search for the truth — did Dylan
Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro — 22 Jump Street, Boo! A Madea Halloween,
Super Troopers 2) do it — is magnified ten-fold, which more or less
makes every minute of the day a source for drama! And that “drama” is played to the hilt in American
Vandal (which was quickly renewed for a second season … and another
crime of the century for the boys to investigate).
Also streeting on Jan. 29
is the Jim Carrey, Judy Greer and Frank Langella Showtime dramedy series, Kidding:
Season One. This double-set features all ten episodes from
producers Michel Gondry and Jim Carrey — who previously teamed for the 2004
theatrical release of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
(Gondry shared the Oscar with fellow screenwriters Charlie Kaufman and Pierre
Bismuth in the Best Original Screenplay category).
Jim Carrey plays public
broadcasting mega-famous children’s star, Jeff Pickles of Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time,
who is having an on-going crisis following the death of one of his children …
it’s been a full year, but he can’t seem to move on.
Paramount will also be
promoting the DVD collection of The Game: The Complete Series on
Jan. 29.
