Emmy(R) Award Winner Craig T. Nelson, Jerry Van Dyke and Shelly Fabares Take the Field in the Much Loved Comedy 'Coach: Season One'

Limited Edition DVD Kicks Off June 13, 2006 From Universal Studios Home Entertainment

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Pigskin meets pratfalls when "Coach: Season One" arrives on DVD for the first time June 13, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. One of the most rib-tickling sitcoms, "Coach" stars Emmy(R) winner and four-time Golden Globe(R) nominee Craig T. Nelson as Hayden Fox, the hapless but hopeful coach of the Minnesota State University Screaming Eagles, a college football team with more heart than skill. "Coach: Season One," a perfect gift timed for Father's Day, includes all 13 pricelessly funny episodes from the first of the show's nine hit seasons, plus a special bonus episode from Season Two, and is available in a special limited edition football-themed package restricted to a single production run.

With Emmy(R) nominee Jerry Van Dyke and Bill Fagerbakke as Hayden's enthusiastic assistant coaches, "Coach" is a light-hearted look at Fox's life, as he more than occasionally fumbles trying to balance the demands of his three loves: his job, his long-suffering girlfriend (Emmy(R) nominee and pop music icon Shelley Fabares) and his teenage daughter (Clare Carey). The "Coach: Season One" DVD also includes "The Great '80s TV Flashback" a delightful documentary celebrating the spirit and lasting impact of the greatest TV shows of the 1980s. The DVD is priced at $34.98 SRP. Preorder close is May 9, 2006.

Synopsis

Hayden Fox is the head coach of a university football team, and eats, sleeps and lives football. His partner, however, does not share his passion for the sport, which frequently causes friction in their relationship. While Hayden often fits the stereotype of dumb jock (as do his co-workers Luther and Dauber), he sincerely cares about his friends and family, and tries his best to make things work out.
