By Tomorrow sees the release of “Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Series” on Blu-ray, and with it comes an apparent new record for home video.
As posted by Cereal at Midnight, the box-set contains all 12 seasons and 4 films with the release clocking in at a whopping 62 Blu-ray discs.
That appears to take the title of the largest Blu-ray TV box-set ever created, overtaking complete series Blu-ray sets like the 54-disc “Hawaii Five-0”, 56-disc “The Walking Dead,” 58-disc “Supernatural” and 60-disc “The X-Files”.
It’s not the biggest Blu-ray box set ever released though, that title likely goes to the 100-disc “Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection” which initially sold for $1500.
The largest TV series disc box set remains the 2007 DVD release of “Prisoner – Cell Block H: The Complete Collection”. The Australian prison drama released a set containing all 692 episodes (running for 542 hours) across 179 DVD discs.
In the series, the late, great Angela Lansbury starred in the lead role of Jessica Fletcher, a mystery novelist who lives in Maine and uses her skills at deduction to figure out the identity of the extraordinary number of murderers she encounters in her life.
Lansbury was nominated for an Emmy every single year of the show’s run. Universal Television produced the series, which found a loyal audience and was seemingly only cancelled because of an unfortunate timeslot change in its final season.
Attempts have been made in recent years to revive the property, the most recent being a film being penned by “Dumb Money” scribes Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo.
