Paramount Home Media Taps June 4 As The Street Date For The 30-Disc DVD Release Of The Brady Bunch: 50th Anniversary TV & Movie Collection

Paramount Home Media is about to unleash a flurry of DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD products for delivery to consumers during the month June … this week they teased a few of these, with more to following in the coming days.

So let’s get to it.   There is a “monster” release that arrives on June 4 in the form of a 30-disc box set celebrating the 50^th Anniversary of the Brady Bunch television series.   That’s right, 30 DVDs in one collection.

Titled The Brady Bunch: 50th Anniversary TV & Movie Collection, this “monster” collection contains The Brady Bunch: The Complete Series (all 117 episodes), which made its network debut on September 26, 1969 and wrapped up in March of 1974.   50 years ago … where does the time go?

Both of the theatrical releases are also featured in the collection — The Brady Bunch Movie (1995, pulling in $46.6 million in box office receipts) and A Very Brady Sequel (late summer of 1996, generating $21.4 million in ticket sales) — as are the made for TV movies, A Very Brady Christmas (1988), Growing Up Brady (2000) and The Brady Bunch in the White House (2002).

 

Rounding out the collection are the two short-lived series, The Brady Brides (7 episode series in 1981 featuring Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb) and The Bradys (5 episodes, 1990), plus the animated series, The Brady Kids: The Complete Animated Series (all 22 episodes that aired in 1972 and 1973).

Another important release on the way from Paramount Home Media is the 4K Ultra HD launch of director Michael Bay’s 2016 film adaptation of Mitchell Zuckoff’s book, “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi,” which was titled for the screen as 13 Hours and/or 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

This will be available on June 11 and it arrives with a bonus Blu-ray disc that houses the bonus features — “For the Record: Finding the Truth Amid the Noise,” “Uncovering Benghazi's Secret Soldiers,” “Preparing for Battle: Behind the Scenes of 13 Hours,” “Operation: 13 Hours Premiere” and “In Memoriam.”

And our friends Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny return on May 28 with the release of both double-disc DVD and Blu-ray editions of South Park: The Complete Twenty-Second Season.

The collection of animated adventures features all ten episodes, including a session with Al Gore, a bike parade and fun at Halloween, plus deleted scenes and “mini-commentaries” from Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
