Season 20 Coming To DVD/Blu-Ray
No, that is not a typo. While Season Twelve of The Simpsons was released last month, it appears that Fox are keen to go back to a two-per-year release plan by rushing a release of The Complete Twentieth Season, possibly in time for Christmas 2009. This news was first rumoured by TVShowsOnDVD yesterday when they discovered Amazon had added pre-order information for the show on both DVD and Blu-ray format. The show has been broadcast in high definition since the middle of Season 20, allowing for Fox to cash in on Blu-Ray sales, but instead of waiting til 2016 for Season 20 to come around, it seems likely that from now on an older season as well as the previously aired season will be released every year.
So is it just a rumour? That seems not to be the case after a KFC promotion for The Simpsons Ride is giving away the Twentieth Season DVD as runner up prizes. And when is that contest drawn? November 2009. So it seems as if Fox have been keeping this one under their hats, but a Christmas release is almost certain. We’ll give you more details as soon as we ‘re told!
