The Name Is Mannix

MANNIX is finally coming to DVD.

I don't know what took CBS/Paramount so long to realize there's an audience for this show, but let's be thankful they finally did. What's really exciting about MANNIX: THE FIRST SEASON is that CBS/Paramount is assembling some cool extras for the set:

• Commentary Tracks
  
  • "The Name Is Mannix" by Creator William Link
    
  • "Another Final Exit" by Mike Connors and Joseph Campanella
    
• Audio Intros by Mike Connors on each Episode and on all Special Features
  
• On-Camera Reunion with Mike Connors and Joseph Campanella
  
• Mike Connors on THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW
  
• Clip from DIAGNOSIS: MURDER with Mike Connors playing "Mannix"
  

Considering the studio has included bupkis in the way of extras for the three MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE season sets it has released to date—and that series is way more visible today than is MANNIX—this is quite a surprise. And a very pleasant one.

MANNIX: THE FIRST SEASON hits DVD June 3.
