Disc Announcements, News


Glee who? For my money, Community is the top contender for the best new show of the year. Staring Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Ken Jeong and Chevy Chase, Community quickly established itself as the go-to source of laughs on Thursday nights.

Whether you want to relive the creamy comedy nougat found at the center of Community or you want to catch up on the show before it returns to NBC this fall, there’s good news for you. TVShowsOnDVD.com is reporting that distributor Ingram Entertainment has listed the complete first season of the show will be available September 21 as a three-disc set. Suggested retail price is $39.95.

In addition, an interview at Popeater.com with Alison Brie has revealed a clue towards the set’s eventual bonus features. Brie reports that there will be a commentary track for all 25 episodes in the show’s first season. Cast and crew has been mixed and matched for the episodes with series creator Dan Harmon being the one constant on all 25 tracks.

Stay tuned for more details about the bonus features and package artwork once Sony officially announces the set  in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s a short preview of what was probably the season’s best episode:
