For a few years now, I’ve been telling anyone who would listen, that if you loved Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead, you REALLY owe it to yourself to watch Spaced.

Aired on the BBC in 1999 and 2001, running for 2 seven episode seasons, Spaced was the TV show that put Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright on the map, and holds up as one of the finest bits of television programming I’ve had the pleasure of watching.  Unfortunately, due to the fact that legal issues held the show up from being released in the US, the only way people could see it was via region 2 DVD, or illegal downloads.

This changes now.

Finally, Spaced hits DVD here in the US on July 22nd.  And don’t worry, it’s not some quick cash grab release. Oh no, there’s a SHIT TON of extras.  Check it out…

• New exclusive commentary with director Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) and guests Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Bill Hader, Matt Stone, Patton Oswalt and Diablo Cody.
