The only version I could find was a French DVD, but even if there's already a domestic, Criterion releases are always cause for celebration. Occasionally you'll find a Criterion release that uses a transfer that for some reason isn't quite as good as a non-Criterion release, or sometimes Criterion transfers are surpassed by later non-Criterion editions, but even in those cases the Criterion release will often include unique supplemental features that make their disc worth seeking out.
It would be great if Criterion were interested in the DS theatrical films, and it's too bad WB are so reluctant to license their catalog to outside labels. Criterion's motto is "The Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films on DVD," and I think a strong case could be made for the importance of both HODS and NODS, as both classic and contemporary films. If I'm not mistaken, HODS is the first and only theatrical feature film based on a daytime television soap opera. And on top of that, it spawned a sequal that, properly restored, could be Dan Curtis's masterwork and swan song!
