Spaced finally coming to DVD in the US

MTV's Movies blog reports that the English comedy Spaced, created by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (a/k/a the people behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) is finally coming to DVD on July 23 of this year. People have been begging for this for years.

Unfortunately, though, Fox is still going ahead with a McG-produced Americanized version of Spaced this summer, and Pegg isn't too thrilled about it. From the sounds of things, Pegg and Wright weren't consulted on the US version, which certainly doesn't bode well for the show (the name "McG" doesn't exactly bode well, either). Although, we'll admit it - we might have said something similar about the US version of The Office when it first aired, and that show has had an excellent run (until they started messing with those hourlongs.) So who knows.
