“Route 66” DVD set will be released Aug. 5

TVShowsonDVD.com reports today that the Roxbury/Infinity DVD set, “Route 66 — The Complete First Season,” is set to be released Aug. 5.

Earlier, the first-season release of the set had reportedly been delayed to fix technical issues arising in the initial half-season releases of the original “Route 66” television series, co-starring George Maharis and Martin Milner.

According to the link to Amazon.com, the DVD set will contain eight discs, with a suggested retail price of $49.98.

According to TVShowsonDVD:

Other details such as cost and extras appear to be unchanged. Infinity has previously indicated to us that they intend this release to resolve the various issues that buyers of the previous half-season sets had with the way episodes were presented on those discs.

  1. Good news. If you get any more information from Infinity confirming they are upgrading the image for the first half of season 1 and dropping the letterbox cropping for the second half, let us know. Many fans have followed this situation and are skeptical about “double dipping” with this purchase. But this bodes well for future season sets. Sometimes you just have to get it wrong before you get it right.
