Called \u201cwitty and deliberately offbeat\u2026quirky\u2026(and) charming\u201d (The New York Observer), <strong><em>Bored to Death: The Complete First Season<\/em><\/strong> will be released on 1 December 2010 by Warner Home Video.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-disc Blu-ray and DVD sets each contain entertaining bonus features including a guided tour of the New York sets by Jonathan Ames and Jason Schwartzman, a \u201cMaking of\u201d piece and audio commentaries, and will retail for $49.95RRP and $39.95RRP respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Blending neurotic humor and noir mystery elements, <strong><em>Bored to Death<\/em><\/strong> follows Ames (Jonathan Schwartzman, The Darjeeling Limited) as he solves a variety of cases in the Big Apple \u2013 despite the fact that he\u2019s virtually inexperienced as a private detective. Jonathan pursues each case with gusto, though very little discretion, abandoning all sense of reality and avoiding work on his regular writing gig and second novel. The all-star cast also include Ames\u2019s needy boss, George, (Ted Danson, Curb Your Enthusiasm\u00ae), who constantly interferes with his newfound career; as well as his best friend Ray, (Zach Galifianakis, The Hangover), who tries his best to advise him, while barely keeping his own life together.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Bored to Death<\/em><\/strong> is the brainchild of storyteller, actor and acclaimed author Jonathan Ames (The Alcoholic), whose fascination with noir writers like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett led him to write a short story in 2007, which then became the basis for the series. Ames also serves as executive producer and writer of the show.<\/p>\n<p>BLU-RAY<\/p>\n<p>Warner Home Video Blu-ray\u2122 discs offer resolution six times higher than standard definition DVDs, as well as extraordinarily vibrant contrast and colour and beautifully crisp sound. The new formats also provide a higher level of interactivity, with instant access to extra features via a seamless menu-bar where viewers can enjoy features without leaving or interrupting the film.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special Features:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 \u201cJonathan Ames\u2019s Brooklyn\u201d \u2013 travel into one of New York City\u2019s most popular boroughs and inside the mind of Ames via a guided tour of the show\u2019s eclectic locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 \u201cThe Making of<em> Bored to Death<\/em>\u201d \u2013 exclusive look at the making of season one, featuring interviews with cast and crew as well as author Jonathan Ames.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Audio Commentaries \u2013 four hilarious audio commentaries with Ames, Schwartzman, Danson and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Deleted Scenes \u2013 take a look at some of the hilarious scenes that didn\u2019t make the final cut!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rating:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TBC<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Approx Runtime:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>219 mins<\/p>\n<p>DVD<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special Features:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 \u201cJonathan Ames\u2019s Brooklyn\u201d \u2013 travel into one of New York City\u2019s most popular boroughs and inside the mind of Ames via a guided a tour of the show\u2019s eclectic locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 \u201cThe Making of Bored to Death\u201d \u2013 exclusive look at the making of season one, featuring interviews with cast and crew as well as author Jonathan Ames.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Audio Commentaries \u2013 four hilarious audio commentaries with Ames, Schwartzman, Danson and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Deleted Scenes \u2013 take a look at some of the hilarious scenes that didn\u2019t make the final cut!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rating:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TBC<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Approx Runtime:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>211 mins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available in stores from 1 December 2010, for $39.95RRP Based on the Semi-Autobiographical Musings of Acclaimed Author Jonathan Ames\u00a0 Meet Jonathan Ames: writer, romantic, unlicensed private detective.
