Many of our longtime readers who think of the Falcon Pictures Group will remember them for their
TV Guide-branded DVD releases in 2004, done in co-operation with distributor Genius Products. More recently, though, they had joined forces with Infinity Resources, the Illinois firm which owns online retailers DVDPlanet.com, DeepDiscountDVD.com and CCVideo.com, for a series of "exclusive- to-those-sites" releases of TV-DVDs such as
Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and
Hopalong Cassidy.
Earlier this year we
passed on trade magazine reports that Infinity Resources had spun off a new retail arm, Infinity Entertainment, and had made a deal to also produce DVDs for the "Mojo" linep of shows from the INHD hi-def network. While our report at the time concentrated on the Mojo titles, we wrapped that report by talking about how the lineup of classic TV-DVD titles which used to be "DeepDiscountDVD exclusives" would continue, but would now be distributed widely, both in brick-and-mortar stores and at other online retailers, including Amazon.com!
Infinity's first general retail release like this will be
May 22nd's The Real McCoys - The Complete Season 1. List-pricing at $39.98, this 5-DVD set can be
pre-ordered at Amazon for $27.99. It stars Oscar-winning actor Walter Brennan as Grandpa Amos McCoy, Richard Crenna as grandson Like and Kathy Nolan as Luke's wife Kate. All 39 first-season episodes can be found on this release.
NOTE: The Release has been delayed until July 24th
