Angels In America?

[kidbro77]

Anyone out there know when or if the HBO miniseries Angels In America is gonna be out on DVD?

HBO is notoriously slow for getting stuff out on DVD. I would expect it sometime this year. Maybe summer at the earliest IMO. Hopefully I am wrong with my assumption and it will be out earlier.

Unless you're Sex and the City or the Sopranos, HBO has no concept of "timely release." I can excited that the third season of Oz (which aired 2000-2001) is being released in a few weeks. I'm still waiting for the second season of Six Feet Under too.



Hopefully all of the Golden Globe Awards that Angels in America won will convince HBO to get started on the DVD set.

Very cool news. I knew it had to be around summer that it would come.
