There were some technical issues with the [old] site so I haven’t been able to update until now. But the BIG news is that the Mission Hill DVD is available in stores and online as of November 29! Go buy it now! And buy a copy for your friends!

I’ll make this quick. I’m very sad to report that the upcoming Mission Hill DVD set will NOT have the eagerly anticipated animatic of lost episode “Crap Gets In Your Eyes”. This is unfortunately due to legal issues regarding possible royalties to the actors involved.

The set is still worth buying though, for the other extras, and to have the show on your shelf.

I’ve been away for a bit so this bit of news slipped by. Mission Hill is now available to pre-order on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca (for the Canadian fans like myself). Or you could just go to the store and buy it. Either way, the official release date is November 29.

They’ve also released the box art for the show:

Mission Hill DVD Release Date

The official press release and release date of the Mission Hill DVD set has been posted on TVShowsonDVD.com. It confirms it will be on two discs, and released on November 29, 2005. As for the extras, it says the set ‘includes’ (which means there may be more) there will be audio commentary on four episodes, and an “Extensive Interactive Map of Mission Hill.” Since Bill Oakley confirmed with this site that at the very least there were plans for much more, there will likely be more than those two items (as cool as they are).

Mission Hill DVD News Everyone!

This is direct from Bill Oakley himself, the details for the Mission Hill DVD set. First off, I should let you know there’s one disappointing bit. Like many TV shows on DVD sets, some of the music cues (“1 or 2 per episode” according to Bill) will be replaced with “similar sounding cues.” The reason is a matter of cost, the licensing fees would simply be too high.

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.

Mission Hill DVD is Coming!

The news we have all been waiting for is finally here. I’ve heard from a reliable source that Mission Hill is finally coming, to DVD! They are scheduled to be produced by June, and be in the stores in November. Extras are still being discussed, but expect things like commentaries and info about the lost episodes.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with the DVD campaign, I’m not sure if Warner Bros. decided on a DVD because of our letters, or due to other reasons, but our efforts certainly didn’t hurt, and in the end, we are getting what we all wanted.
