Filled with all the original music fans couldn't do without, the quirky, funny, dramatic and outrageous show, Ally McBeal: The Complete Series, arrives for the first time ever as a 32-disc DVD collection October 6 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "Ally McBeal" Season One will also be available the same day as a six-disc DVD set. Starring an outstanding ensemble cast including Golden Globe®-winner Calista Flockhart ("Brothers & Sisters"), Oscar®-nominee Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Portia de Rossi ("Arrested Development," "Better Off Ted"), Courtney Thorne-Smith ("According To Jim," "Melrose Place"), Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels), Emmy Award®-winner Peter MacNicol ("Numb3rs") and Jane Krakowski ("30 Rock"), the original comedy follows the trials and tribulations of an eccentric and neurotic single 28-year-old lawyer (Flockhart) fresh out of Harvard Law School, looking for love and fulfillment in life. Working in a Boston law firm with her ex-lover, his new wife, money loving boss and a nosy, gossiping secretary, the hilarious groundbreaking series featured amusing fantasy sequences, flashbacks and voiceovers to reveal Ally's innermost thoughts and feelings. The show also had many offbeat running gags and themes, such as Ally's tendency to immediately fall over whenever she met somebody she found attractive, and Richard Fish's wattle fetish and humorous mottos, a.k.a "Fishisms." The series was also known for its wide array of music from pop culture icons including Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Steppenwolf, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey and Jon Bon Jovi, as well as the heartfelt performances from artist Vonda Shepard.

Winner of seven Emmy® Awards and four Golden Globes®, and from the prolific Emmy®-Award winner David E. Kelley, Ally McBeal: The Complete Series features bonus material fans will love including a brand new recollective piece "Bygone Days an Ally McBeal Retrospective" with cast and creators including Calista Flockhart, Jane Krakowski, Lucy Liu, Peter MacNicol, Gil Bellows, Greg Germann, and David E. Kelley, The Best of Ally McBeal soundtrack with never before released songs, Season 2 TV Special "Life and Trials of Ally McBeal," Season 5 "Goodbye, Ally," behind-the-scenes and much more. The Ally McBeal: The Complete Series will be available just in time for the holidays for $199.98 U.S. / $199.98 Canada. "Ally McBeal" Season One will also be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S. / $54.98 Canada and when purchased at Target, will include an insert to download three songs from The Best of Ally McBeal soundtrack. Prebook is September 9.

Get your fix of love, laughter and lunacy with the award-winning show that made Calista Flockhart a household favorite. With engaging story lines, hip music and appearances by some of the world's biggest stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Elton John, Christina Ricci, Jon Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Taye Diggs, Tracey Ullman and Barry White, "Ally McBeal" transformed TV for women and raised the comedy-drama genre to an outrageous new level!

Ally McBeal: The Complete Series will be presented in English and French Dolby Surround with English, French and Spanish subtitles. Season one will also feature Spanish Dolby Surround sound and will be presented in full screen while seasons two through five will feature Spanish stereo and are presented in widescreen format.
