FAIRFAX, VA - In 2014, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life -- the premiere marketer of classic TV on DVD -- will release THE WONDER YEARS: THE COMPLETE SERIES to
the home entertainment marketplace. The most requested TV series never
to be released on DVD, which ran on ABC from 1988-1993, garnered
multiple Emmy® Awards, a Golden Globe® and a Peabody®, and was named by TV Guide
as one of the "Top 20 Shows of the '80s" will make its very
long-awaited debut in the second half of 2014. To best serve the
numerous fans of the program, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life has
launched WonderYearsDVDs.com, the official site for all updates, exclusive content and pre-orders.
Routinely
praised for high-quality TV DVD collections, an archivist's attention
to detail, and specially produced bonus programming on releases such as Get Smart, The Carol Burnett Show and China Beach, StarVista Entertainment/ Time Life is planning a deluxe release of the The Wonder Years,
which starred Fred Savage, Danica McKellar, Dan Lauria, Alley Mills,
Jason Hervey, Olivia d'Abo, Josh Saviano and Daniel Stern, and featured
as a theme song Joe Cocker's unforgettable rendition of the Beatles'
"With A Little Help From My Friends."
"The Wonder Years
has long been the most requested TV show yet to be released on DVD, and
we're thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to bring this iconic
show to its many fans," says Jeffrey Peisch, the Senior Vice President, Entertainment Programming & Marketing for StarVista Entertainment/Time Life. "As
we've done with many other classic TV shows, the series will be treated
with the care and attention it fully deserves after all these years,
with deluxe packaging, robust extras and a lot more. We're really big
fans of the series, too."
As it did for China Beach, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life is painstakingly securing the rights for virtually every song in The Wonder Years.
From Cocker's theme song, to hundreds of other memorable and classic
soul, rock and pop songs, including classics from The Beatles, Bob
Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison and many others,
StarVista /Time Life recognizes the necessity to release the series as
it was initially broadcast, un-edited and untouched from original
broadcast masters.
The Wonder Years
was created by Neal Marlens and Carol Black in association with New
World Television, which was acquired in 1997 by 21stCentury Fox (then
News Corporation), the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox
Television.
