Well - if you live in France - you're in luck - it was released in December.
If you live anywhere else - unless you have a region-free DVD player, or speak either English or French - you're kind of out of luck.
From what I understand - the French-release has both an English audio track with the actors actual voices and a French audio track, and French subtitles, but no English subtitles - not sure how important that is to people.
But, since it's a French release, it's region 2 (that's the French region coding, right? I never remember these things - sorry) -
However --
You can help - if you want it released elsewhere --
email Twentieth Century Fox --
use this email address: http://foxdrop@4icc.com/
and you can even use this text as the body - b/c it's the volume of email for a particular show - according to a response one emailer rec'd from Fox - (you can read the email response HERE - at the TNT Pretender message board -- which is also where I got the sample text below)
Sample email text:
Dear FOX,
DVDs of THE PRETENDER were recently released in France and have received rave reviews. Now we American fans would like to own the series on DVD as well!
We all voted at your "TV to DVD" poll site and noticed that THE PRETENDER was far ahead of all the other titles. What ever happened to this poll? Were the results acted upon?
The question was posed as to how much PRETENDER fans would pay for the DVDs. An overwhelming number of people said they would give whatever it takes to own the DVDs.
This makes releasing the series on DVD a worthwhile endeavor for the millions of PRETENDER fans, as well as a profitable move for FOX.
Please give the people what we want -- THE PRETENDER ON DVD!!!!
Sincerely,
[your name here]
So - send emails and send emails and send emails -- over 6 months, if all the fans have submitted enough emails - they might just bump this puppy up high enough on the 'yes, we want it now!' scale to get it released on DVD!!
