thirtysomething goes to DVD
We’re finally about to be thirtysomething all over again. The TV show about young urban professionals (‘thirtysomething’ was too good to call them yuppies), which ran from 1987- 1991, is finally coming out on DVD Aug. 25.
Shout Factory, which had success with the DVDs for “My So-Called Life,” (also created by Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz) will release season one first, with the next three seasons to come out at six-month intervals.
A couple of factors have kept ‘thirtysomething’ from making it to DVD until now, chief among them a lack of transferrable masters. A few episodes had to be remastered, which is a time-swallowing process. The other hitch was getting music rights clearances, but Shout Factory, which specializes in licensing oldies for reissue, was able to get all the music played on the show.
