Charmed - Final word from studio about extras on Charmed
Ever since Paramount's announcement of the February 1st release of Charmed - The Complete 1st Season on DVD, we've seen lots of inquiries from fans who wanted to know more about what extras would be contained on the DVD set.
In our last news item about this compilation (the one with the 3-D cover art), we mentioned that Paramount had not discussed extras for the release, despite one fan-based website claiming knowledge of extensive bonus material like interviews, documentaries, and lots more...maybe even a lost episode. Since Paramount was not verifying those supplements, we decided to go straight to the studio and ask them about bonus material on this item.
A Paramount Home Entertainment executive responded swiftly to our query, and told us that there would be "No extras on Charmed."
That is unfortunate, but not unexpected at all when you consider that most of Paramount's TV-on-DVD offerings fall into the same model: "episodes, not extras". One of the only exceptions for that model has been the entire Star Trek set of releases, a mega-franchise with near-legendary status among the populace of the world for more than three decades.
We're sorry to bring this bad news to you, of course, but we can all agree that its not worth getting too upset over. After all, Charmed is going to be on DVD in just 8 weeks, and not just a handful of episodes: an entire season of 22 episodes! That's what we really wanted in the first place, and extras are just that: extra. We can live without them, especially at the low price being charged for this 6-DVD set (Amazon.com is currently taking pre-orders for just $34.99!). In the face of that, we won't complain much.
Well, maybe just a tiny bit.
