paramount beavis and butt-head dvd delayed/canceled

email from dvdempire.com
Dear Customer

We have just been informed of a recall on the Paramount tile "The History of Beavis & Butthead" The studio has asked us to take the title off-line and cancel all orders. Because of this, we will not be able to
ship you the copy that you ordered, and we do not have information as to if or when the title will be re-announced.
However, when we do get this information, we will post it on-line under a new listing. This recall will affect all persons selling the title and it is not limited to us, so it seems that the product will not make it into the marketplace. We do apologize for the situation

DVD Empire

as of right now however, the timelife dvd is still availible.

This is just stupid, wishful thinking, but maybe they recalled it because so many people want the videos in it? Maybe they're going back and trying to get the rights to the videos? (Yeah right. Come back to reality Jdurg.)

Any other word from Paramount?

I wonder what the reasoning is.

nothing from paramount yet flash. i am also curious to their reasoning. but i think they are pushing it back a few weeks due to the time life set coming out one week ealier or even maybe they will release it in november to compete with the south park season 1 set. nobody knows yet.

The title is, in fact, cancelled. Paramount will say more about this on Tuesday.

It's been a while since my last post, but I figured I'd try to help you guys out.

I just read on dvdtalk.com that www.djangos.com (spelling?) has them in stock. Someone emailed them and they said that they will sell their quantity. I just placed an order and it went through.
Please order only 1 of them so more of us can benefit even though the value will undoubtedly go up.

May DTS be with you.

the reason for the delay apparently is that there is a song or a video on the dvd that paramount did not get fully licenced and there for the title was pulled, but since it is so recent, some small or big stores might still carry it. click here http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID...itemid=1580970 to purchase it from cdnow.com. i know they are reliable so take it there.

In bad news for Beavis & Butthead fans, Paramount has just announced that next week's 9/24 release of The History of Beavis & Butthead has been canceled. No word on why, but additional information should be forthcoming. Stay tuned...
Too bad...

That Djangos site someone mentioned ealier has taken the dvds off their list. I hate to break it to you folks, but these dvds are not coming, no matter how much you hope and wish it wasn't true. Digitalbits.com also confirmed this, as did this website.

Well, my credit card just got charged $28.48 which is how much CDNOW was charging for The History of Beavis & Butt-Head once shipping was thrown in. According to my order tracking page, it is currently going through the "processing" stage, so I'm pretty sure they are sending it out. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything else.

I too placed my order at Cdnow.com. Hopefully they actually send it. Those of you who also ordered from cdnow.com, if you get an e-mail saying that it's sent, or it got canceled, please post that info here. I'll update too if something changes.

Yea, I think since Paramount has OFFICAL canceled the dvd, all the hoping and wishing isn't going to help. CDNow can't send you DVDs that don't exist people. If I were you, I'd complain that they are charging you ahead of time for product that doesn't exist. I understand how badly you don't want to believe it is true, but unfortunately that isn't enough to create a DVD out of thin air

Best Buy has included History of B&B for $22 in this week's new ad, as a new release on 9/24. Odd.

I see it in Best Buy's newspaper ad, but it nowhere to be found on thier website. I bet the ad was printed a while back. Looks like the few copies that got out will fetch some high prices on ebay.

This is from the eBay seller's description:

Quote:
The animated menus on this firecracker of a DVD contain footage, and stills that Paramount neglected to obtain permission for thus, at the 11th hour before it was due to arrive in stores, it got pulled and sent into DVD obscurity.
If it's just the menus that are the problem, I'm sure that we'll see B&B released sans the menus.

LMAO!!!!!!
just a few min ago i decided to track my order on the history of B&B from cdnow.com.
where it used to say "processing" it now said 01/01/10
so i then clicked on it and it took me to another page that said:

"This is an advance order item. Your item will be shipped when it becomes available.

The expected release date is Jan 01, 2010. This date is subject to change at the discretion of the releasing label or studio. "

wow year 2010!! thats in like 7 years! haha to hell with that im cancelling and looks like ill be going with the lifetime release.

if anybody buys or puts a bid in for the bb set on ebay, they are effing crazy. its now 165.00. also from someone who has the disc on another site, they are single layered, and the little paper that has chapters ect, can easily be coppied so watchout for the bootleggs on ebay in the next few days. and i just ordered the set again from half.com (i was too late the first time.)

Store ads and flyers are prepared weeks in advance. They won't be selling it. No one will...Unless they didn't get a recall notice.


BTW, what happened to that Ebay auction? Looks like Ebay deleted it.

this is according to the seller who posted this on another site
"History of Beavis & Butt-Head RECALLED DVD
has been ended at the request of MTV Networks, a division of Viacom International Inc., a member of eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program, because they filed a sworn statement that it offers a product or contains material which violates their copyright, trademark or other rights.

The rest of the email I was sent I do not wish to share.

So this is a really cut and dry case of this title being a big black eye for the studio if MTV are putting the squeeze on Ebay sellers.

I am not worried about unloading small amount I have. This thing could be really collectable.

It's too bad I was getting some nice bids."
