Hey, it's us, Paul
and Judd,
Okay, here's the deal. We sent out a very
exciting email last week telling you all about the release of the 8
disc DVD Special Limited Edition of "Freaks and Geeks," only to find
out that the email was blocked by half the mail services due to
issues our tech friends refer to with words like "mail records" and
"authenticity checks." We actually blame those Viagra and penis
enlargement spams that clog all of our mailboxes these days for
getting our earnest little email sent to the dead letters office.
But, hopefully, you are now reading this email. (If you're not, then
… oh, never mind.)
And if you did receive that old email,
keep reading anyway, because there's new information in this
one.
Like we said, there is a Special Limited Edition of the
"Freaks and Geeks" DVD, available now for
pre-order! It is a true limited edition and will only
be sold through our website. We are making only 25,000 of them and
then that's it. We'll never make them again. We'll break the mold,
lock the door, and throw away the key. The Special Limited Edition
will not show up on any discount web sites and it will never be sold
at a discounted price. It is a true collectible. We swear to
you.
Now, there will also be a 6-DVD version available at all
the usual retail outlets on April 6th. That one has all the shows
and a good amount of extra stuff. But the Special Limited Edition is
really cool (and sort of insane, if you get right down to it). The
8-DVD set features everything on the regular version, plus two
additional DVDs packed with more than seven hours of bonus material
(pretty much everything we had that we considered to be good!).
These two extra discs were created exclusively for our hardcore
fans. On top of that, we've put it all inside an 80 page McKinley
High yearbook that we personally created. It looks just like a
yearbook from 1980 and it's packed with tons of behind the scenes
photos, essays, and lots of goofy stuff that we know you'll really
get a kick out of. It's been a lot of work (you don't know the half
of it!), but it's really been a labor of love. Hey, this is our
legacy and after making everyone wait so long for these DVDs, do you
think we'd just give you something crappy looking?
So,
anyway, there it is. It's definitely because of all of you that we
were able to get these DVDs made and, because of that, we wanted to
make something special for you. This Special Limited Edition is it.
We hope you're able to get one and see what we've done. If you
can't, no problem. It's definitely a bit pricey. And the regular
edition rocks too. But the Special Limited Edition rocks quite a bit
harder.
To all our international fans: we are currently
unable to sell the DVD directly overseas, because the music is clear
for use only in North America. To clear it worldwide would have cost
too much money -- which we don't have. We are attempting to address
the issue, so all international fans please email [email protected] with the quantity
you want. If we are able to supply you, we will contact you very
soon.
Thanks for all your continuing support for "Freaks and
Geeks." If you want to spend a little more time in F&G land, take a look at this SAT
quiz that was put together by one of our
freaksandgeeks.com regulars, Kibbles the Rocker. Hey, you weren't
looking to get back to work anyway, were you?
Enjoy and
thanks! Judd Apatow & Paul
Feig
