Now, the good news is there will be loads of extras.

  • Animatic for the entire lost episode “Crap Gets In Your Eyes”, including original reading of the script.  This is essentially a B&W new episode!  And there MIGHT be another act or two, or short scenes from the other lost episodes.
  • Lost episode scripts will likely be there.
  • Four audio commentaries featuring Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein (creators), Wallace Langham, Nick Jameson and Scott Menville (actors for Andy, Gus and Kevin), and Lauren MacMullen (designer).
  • 7-9 short extra video packages of early animation, aborted designs, color tests, promos, and stuff like that.

The set will contain all 13 episodes and is due for release this fall, probably around November.

DVD sales are really the only method of fan support that gets the attention of studio executives.  Family Guy did NOT return because fans wrote letters or signed petitions, it returned because the DVD sales were exceptional.  So if you really want Mission Hill to come back, show your support in the loudest way by buying this set when it comes out.
