Man from U.N.C.L.E. DVDs...easy come, easy go

[ckd]

The Digital Bits (DVD news website) is reporting "We've got some Anchor Bay news for you. The company will deliver The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Complete First Season on DVD as a 4-disc set on 7/25. We're told at least some extras will be included."

With luck, the rest of the series will follow not far behind.

This hasn't shown up on either Amazon or the Anchor Bay sites, but TDB's been really good about making it clear when their release information is tentative, and this wasn't on the Rumor Mill page.

ETA 2006-05-25: "No sooner did we post the news to The Bits yesterday, we got an update from The Bay's PR firm indicating that the 7/25 release of the series' first season has been pulled indefinitely. Word is, there's a dispute over who actually owns the home video rights to the series. So the planned 4-disc set is cancelled for now... at least until the whole mess can be sorted out. D'oh!" Bah.

There's some sort of a behind-the-scenes power struggle going on, it seems; I'll believe it when I see it. These were listed at Amazon and Deep Discount and then withdrawn: I think there's a fight over the rights.

Still, fingers crossed. *g*

In the "Bah, humbug" department:
