The only new show I'm both anticipating and dreading is ABC's remake of KOLCHAK:THE NIGHT STALKER on Thursday nights. Stuart Townsend plays Kolchak.

If that gets the Sci-Fi channel to show the originals more often, then I'm all for it.

If this report from TVShowsOnDVD.com is accurate, we may not have to wait for reruns...

The folks at The Sci Fi Channel run a great website. Not only does it cover and promote shows and events tied to the cable network, but it truly reaches out to science fiction fans with genre-related info that may not be directly related to their broadcasts. One of the cool things at their site along those lines is the Events Calendar. It lists dates for SciFi channel events like premieres of special shows and so forth, but also lists film openings, convention dates, book releases...and now DVD release dates as well, it seems.

Many of the DVD's you'll find on their master list are for releases we've already talked about, including the dates of all four seasons of Enterprise. The big surprise, though, are some end-of-the-year release dates for 5 highly anticipated sets from Univesal Studios Home Video!

Kolchak, The Night Stalker is one of those titles, and the SciFi.com events calendar is reporting a 10/04/2005 release date for it!

We tried to get Universal to comment on this, but they would neither confirm nor deny that schedule. What came up is that, if this DID represent the current plans for that set's release, we have to realize that plans can always change. Nothing that far off is set in stone, and we think our readers here at TVShowsOnDVD are among the best on the 'Net at realizing that. Still, it's good to know that it's that much on the radar, and even if that doesn't turn out to be the exact date, it seems to be coming!

This timing makes sense, if they want to tie the DVD set into the launch of the new show.

Here's some more info about the new one: http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-33125/
