No specifics were given, so they are unsure which show is being released. The site is guessing a release of the 1961 animated series as opposed to the 1950-51 live action series. Let's hope they are wrong. Here's the link: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5865

	You bring the ducks!

I am not familiar with the animated series, but from the description on tvshowsondvd.com, it doesn't sound very good. Apparently each cartoon is only about 5 minutes long and Dick Tracy is not even part of the action, but just hands out the assignments at the start of the episodes and appears again at the end.
