TV NEWS ON JANUARY 5

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/01/digital-digest-dick-van-dyke-season-1.html Welcome to the very first Digital Digest of 2013! This week, we're back with even more news (and yes, it is sort of a slow week again), as well as a review of Police Academy: The Animated Series - Volume One. Let's get going! DIGITAL NEWS In November, Image released The Dick Van Dyke - The Complete Series (Blu-ray), which is one of the nicest sets we've seen in a long time... we encourage you to check out that very lengthy review. If you don't want the entire series in one big chunk, though, it appears that the option to purchase just the first season on Blu-ray will be available April 9 at a $59.98 MSRP. To end 2012, TVShowsOnDVD.com got two very big scoops last week regarding plans from VEI for the new year. According to their information, we should be seeing complete series of Diagnosis Murder and The Mod Squad from VEI in the new year. While they caution that these releases are still in the very early stages and may not occur at all, it is very exciting news nonetheless. Last year, Shout! Factory released Route 66 - The Complete Series, but even though this release did complete the series, it still left those without the older releases with the fourth season... until now. On April 2, Shout! will be releasing Route 66 - Season Four as a standalone set. It will come at a $29.93 MSRP.
