Amazon.ca is very spotty with its updates. Admittedly, I use its affiliates program to drum up sales, which is why pieces like this exist. The entries are still shambolic. Items listed “the outer limits ssn 5″ or “Lexx S3″ are not uncommon. An Amazon offshoot should not be that unprofessional.
TekWar‘s release date has been pushed back three times by now. It was initially set to come out June 13. August 3 and August 10 release dates will not be met. I wonder what’s causing the delays, since it’s been mentioned that this set will not include the made-for-TV films.
One thing Alliance Home Entertainment needs to do is revisit TV-on-DVD sets its predecessor company, Alliance Atlantis, abandoned. Cold Squad and Traders are two such titles, abandoned after their first seasons. AA sat too long on Da Vinci’s Inquest, a title Acorn Media has since capitalized on.
I actually can’t believe Alliance Home Entertainment is as active as it is right now. That’s good. While the company isn’t perfect, this situation is a lot better than when AHE quietly released the odd Trailer Park Boys season and a few other titles. I’m in awe that it’s keeping to its clusterbomb title strategy. I question why shows like White Fang, but the good with the bad.
I am hoping that Alliance will release a series set of Made in Canada. Koch had a lackluster season 1 release a few years back.

Yeah, I once owned that release. The disc segued right into the episodes menu.
Made in Canada deserves a series set, especially since it’s making fun of most of the shows Alliance Home Entertainment is currently releasing. Ah, irony.

I am a huge fan of North of 60 and I know that Alliance Home Entertainment owns the rights to the show. Hopefully you guys release the series on DVD soon.
