The Compleat Al

Come to think of it, I think my Dad has a book called The Compleat David Bowie or something.

I'm not that excited over the idea of seeing The Compleat Al released on DVD for the same reasons already mentioned earlier in this thread.

However, if VH1 decided to release Al's Behind The Music with his Coming home special, I certainly wouldn't object to buying the DVD.

Seeing as the Behind The Music special is owned by Viacom (CBS) and There's No Going Home is owned by Disney (ABC) I think it is unlikely that the two would be released on one DVD.

That makes sense. David Bowie's song "Young American" borrowed the line "I read the news today, oh boy" from "A Day in the Life". So if David Bowie took it 'cause he likes the Beatles, then Al must of used it because he likes parodies!

I wasn't talking about the Disney special. I was talking about Al's Coming Home special which aired on VH-1; not on the Disney channel.

Hmm, I don't recall a Coming Home special on VH-1. When did it air?

It aired shortly after RWS was released.

I remember reading there's some sort of enchaned function on the RWS disc that, if you can open, plays the Coming Home Special.

Yep, just found it. If you put the RWS disc in and select "open files" there's a secret file folder, with the movie and a readme. It says:

Code: Select all

 Congratulations!  You found the secret file.  
The enclosed QuickTime movie is comprised of several scenes from 
"There's No Going Home," the hour-long special that Al did for 
the Disney Channel back in 1996.

I'm watching it right now....

The only VH-1 special I recall after RWS was WAY Live. I don't remember a "Coming Home" special. It sounds too similar to the Disney Channel special.
