SeaQuest DSV Due Out On DVD

[Angel Tarragon]

This just in from TVshowsonDVD.com:

This is the first time the site's voting system has been mentioned so prominently by a studio (thanks Universal!) in the announcement of a title.

The ad contains some other exciting news; the mention of "Exclusive Never-Before-Seen Footage" that will be in the set. We don't know whether the footage will be integrated into the episodes themselves, or possibly available in a "Special Features" section, but the news should excite fans.

You'll notice in the graphic below (the SeaQuest portion of the ad) a street date of December 26, which is a Monday. We're guessing that Universal selected the day after Christmas to capitalize on all the foot traffic from people looking for post-holiday deals. A non-Tuesday release is rare in the DVD world for retail releases (direct sales is a different story), but not out of the question. Uusually if it's not on Tuesday, then it's on Friday...but never before to our recollection has a TV-DVD been released at retail on a weekday other than a Tuesday!

Universal hasn't officially announced the title yet, and it's not available to pre-order, but we'll monitor their press site and update you with any information we find. You may remember that we posted news a bit over a month ago that this title would be coming out on November 22nd, and then the same story was updated later to say it would not be out in 2005 after all. It now appears Universal got it in there just under the wire!

They should have put the dolphin on the cover instead of that woman. I remember that annoying kid, Roy Scheider, and the actor Raimi brother, but not that woman.

"That annoying kid" is right - I never could decide which character irritated me more, him or Wesley Crusher.

Seaquest... such a series of highs and lows, so far as quality goes... watching it was tough to do because it was preempted about every third show. The one thing I remember from it was the really cute brunette with short hair who's name I just don't recall...

This is probably the only season of the show worth picking up.

The first season of SeaQuest was awesome, the later seasons, not so much (wormholes to oceans of distant worlds, time travel, they were really reaching to make it Underwater Star Trek later on). Early on though, it was really cool.

Yeah, the "child prodigy" Sci-Fi archetype was in full play, but I found the Lucas character to be less annoying than Wesley, because they tried to make Lucas more of a believable teenager (instead of the perfect Wesley, who didn't err really until he screwed up big in "The First Duty"), they had Lucas act more believably, IMO at least. (It came on when I was 14, and I remember at the time thinking that Lucas seemed a lot more like an actual teenager than Wesley).

I'll pick up the first season on DVD, just like the first season of Sliders was worth getting on DVD.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Quite honestly, I liked the entire series.

 

[Falkus]

Third season was my favorite, mainly because that's when I first started watching it on Space.

 

[Rackhir]

I found the series to be even more ham handed than ST:NG about trying to club you over the skull with what ever moral they wanted to beat into your head that week.

I watched the first episode. I thought that it was Star Trek:TNG underwater. I never watched anymore.
