We're pleased to break the news that Shout! Factory has licensed the series, and is bringing it home to DVD at last beginning with their May 19th release of Peyton Place - Part 1. This first collection running 720 minutes long will arrive on 5 discs. The show's five-year run made the transition to color beginning with the beginning of the third season, but the first two years' worth of episodes were broadcast in black-and-white. From the information available to us right now, it appears that Shout! is preserving the original on-air presentation of full screen black-and-white video, with English mono audio. There's been no word yet about bonus materials, if any, but Shout! usually tries to include some sort of extras. The studio has provided us with a picture of the eye-catching package art for this title:

Its unbelievable that this show is finally coming to DVD! I have the show bootleg which is how I've seen it and I'm in love. I will be buying each set that comes out and can't wait to collect this on official DVD. I never expected them to release this show. Hopefully this and Knots Landing are successful and they start releasing more soaps. Now that the hype of TV DVD has died down they have more reasonable expectations for sales and different expectations for different type of shows. Now Warner Bros is saying Knots Landing sold well, just not as well as some of their major titles. Well duh, what would you even expect that?!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will supporting both releases! :)

SON got me hooked on TV DVDs. Now I have so many. Shout Factory is awesome. I just read today where Designing Women will be released in May. I cant wait!! I am waiting for Rhoda too.

WB must have sold more of Dallas because they are coming out at a rapid speed. I can't wait for KL Season 2. I wish Falcon Crest were released on DVD too.

My God, I just can't believe this! This is absolutely fantastic news! I will be more than definitely buying, even though my experience with PEYTON PLACE is short, and I hope this opens the door to more forgotten PT soaps, as well as daytime ones, current and old!

Oh, I am definitely getting this in May! I wouldn't dare pass it up.

Some sleuthing and a little math tells me that 720 minutes is the first 24 episodes, which is from the September 15, 1964, premiered up to the episode that aired on December 8. Gosh, I hope that these sell well, I really do. I always get iffy when they get ambitious and decide to release shows with a huge amount of episodes. "Dallas" is being taken care of BEAUTIFULLY by Warner, yet "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" has sorta been abandoned by Sony. Shout! seems to be committed to bringing out shows that you won't normally see on DVD, so we'll see. I'm already planning to get "Room 222" next month and probably "Rhoda" in April.

Oh, and that cover is gorgeous. WHY did Mia cut her hair!?

    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
    • I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.
