Nick Rewind DVDs Coming to Stores?



For the past couple of years, Nickelodeon has been releasing DVDs of older shows exclusively through Amazon.com. These Burn-on-demand DVDs include sets of Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, and Doug. Because the actual DVD sets are manufactured when someone orders them, they are not being sold in stores. Now, rumor has it that these sets will soon be available in retail stores nationwide, starting in 2011. The following link is from tvshowsondvd.com:

Apparently, industry insiders are saying that shows like "The Angry Beavers" and "Ahhh!! Real Monsters" are scheduled to be released early next year, although there is no official word on this. And, there is no telling what shows Nickelodeon will be releasing, besides these two. Maybe the whole "Create Space" Amazon experiment was popular, and they're resurrecting the "Nick Rewind" brand after all these years.

For those who don't remember, Nickelodeon released the first season of "Clarissa" and the first two season of "Pete and Pete" in 2005 in retail stores, under the "Nick Rewind" banner. However, no other shows were released, until around 2008, when Nick struck a deal with Amazon to release select shows.

Personally, I hope this leads to the release of the last season of "Pete and Pete", and well as the rest of "Clarissa" on DVD. I love both of these shows, and it's a shame I can't watch them in their entirety.
