DVD News and Reviews

For Moonlight Fans, a "Bite" of Good News
by Matt Mitovich & David Lambert

People want their Mick at night... and in the daytime... and, heck, whenever else they please. And yet thus far, the avid fans of CBS' short-lived Moonlight have been frustrated by the lack of a release date for a DVD set. Further exacerbating the sorry sitch is the fact that a November Region 2 (aka European) release was announced while Statesiders were left in limbo.

But the long wait may be about to end for us Yanks. Earlier this week in an online chat with DVD enthusiasts, reps for Warner Home Video advised Moonlight fans to "stay tuned for good news you can really sink your teeth into in the next month."

The good news: It sounds like a firm U.S. DVD release soon will be announced. The bad news: Dollars to donuts, the discs you are so blood-thirsty for won't be on shelves in time for the holidays, but rather just before or after New Year's.

TV Guide ~ No release date for Moonlight DVD in USA

I've been receiving tons of emails asking when the Moonlight DVD is scheduled to be released. While the European market (region 2) has been given a date ~ November 17th ~ we still have not heard anything official for the US (region 1). *sigh* According to several people who attended the Moonlight convention in May, one of Moonlight's producers said the disc might be out in September. That didn't happen. After contacting the WB many times about this, I received a single reply stating it would not be released in 2008. It went on to say the tentative plan is for Moonlight's DVD to come out in early 2009.... no exact date.

TV Guide's Matt Webb Mitovich responds to a Moonlight fan's inquiry about the DVD release.

Question :

I've begun to hear rumblings that the Moonlight DVD for the U.S. has been put permanently on hold, even though the European edition is set to release in November. Any truth to the rumor? – Robyn

Matt :

What did you draw me into?! I checked into this topic and was made met with quite a scary Silver Wall of Silence. At the end of the day, all I have is this from David at TVShowsonDVD.com: "Warner has not announced any plans for a U.S. release of Moonlight."

Moonlight Season One DVD alert for USA & release date for Europe

Moonlight fans are anxiously awaiting the great day when our show is released on DVD. So far, sources have said they expect it to come out in September for region 1 (USA). Can't wait! Amazon has a cool service that will notify you as soon as the Moonlight Season One DVD is available. I already signed up for my alert :) Here's a link, in case you wanna do the same........

Moonlight DVD Alert

As I have discussed with you previously, it is very important for the DVD sales to be huge! Not only to show, yet again, how much Moonlight means to its fans. This is also a way of letting the studio, producers, etc know that there is money to be made with it. They kinda like that. *grin* Big DVD sales & a continuing active fan base have helped lots of canceled tv programs to gain a movie or a return to television.... for example ~ Star Trek, Firefly, Family Guy, X-Files, Sex and the City. You get the idea :)

For our international friends ~ We have an actual release date for the European market (region 2)! Moonlight's DVD is set to be out on November 17th, 2008 according to Play.com UK.

Usually, the sets are released in the US before coming out for the overseas' market. The November release date for Europe gives credence to the possibility of the Moonlight Season 1 DVD going on sale here in the next couple of months. YEA!
