| We've got some news for you about upcoming 20th Century Fox TV releases that I think a lot of you are going to be pleased about. In a promotional insert included with Fox's new DVD of the pilot episode of Over There, the studio lists a number of upcoming TV titles of interest. According to the insert, you can expect 24: Season Four to be released on DVD in December, along with The Simpsons: The Complete Seventh Season, M*A*S*H: Season Nine and Reba: The Complete Second Season. NYPD Blue: Season 03 is listed as coming in January. The Shield: Season 4 is expected "in Winter". And here's perhaps the best news. The following TV series are all listed as "coming soon" to DVD from Fox: Alien Nation, Hill Street Blues, Over There, Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The pamphlet also lists Space: Above and Beyond and The White Shadow, which have already been confirmed. |

| Universal has officially announced the DVD release of Kolchak: The Night Stalker for 10/4 (SRP $39.98). The 3-disc set will include all 20 episodes from the series' 1974-75 season on ABC. Video will be the original full frame, with Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio. The studio promises that the episodes have been "digitally restored for maximum clarity." Kolchak, which starred Darren McGavin, was one of the inspirations for Chris Carter's The X-Files, so this is very cool news indeed. |

| Any news at all on an R2 Season 3 release of The Shield. I think it's shameful that no one's bothered putting this one out. |

| Given it specified Amazon.com, I assume she means Season 2 on R1 :) To be honest I can't remember if I've seen it banging around in the stores myself, so it might just be coming out. Although it would make sense to specify the disc in the original post... |

| PERRY MASON: SEASON ONE, VOLUME TWO (CBS/Paramount, 1958, b/w, five discs). This set is the second half of the first season of this show about the undefeatable defense lawyer, perfectly embodied by stoic Raymond Burr, who loves to elicit confessions at the end of the show from witnesses or observers. Guest stars here include Utah native Marie Windsor, Angie Dickinson, Johnny Mack Brown, Joe E. Brown and many more. Extras: Full frame, 20 episodes BOSTON LEGAL (Fox, 2005-06, not rated, seven discs, $59.98). Perry Mason would never make it in this firm. Weird, zany, off-the-wall, often very funny and sometimes just plain jaw-dropping, David E. Kelley’s hard-to-describe show about sleazy defense attorneys makes his earlier "Ally McBeal" seem positively sane. The great cast is led by James Spader, William Shatner and Candice Bergen, and guests this season include Michael J. Fox, Heather Locklear, Parker Posey, Freddie Prinze Jr., Larry King and Betty White. Extras: Widescreen, 27 episodes, featurettes HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: SEASON ONE (Fox, 2005-06, three discs, $39.98). This hit-and-miss sitcom, which is now in its second season, has an intriguing idea, as it is essentially told in flashbacks, about how a couple became a couple. Josh Radner stars as an architect who woos his kids’ mother, surmounting various obstacles along the way. Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan are among the better players here. Some funny stuff, though it often sinks into the sexual morass that traps too many modern sitcoms. Extras: Full frame, 22 episodes, audio commentaries, featurettes, bloopers SO NOTORIOUS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (VH1/Paramount, 2006, two discs, $26.99). Tori Spelling stars as a fictionalized version of herself in this faux reality series, with Loni Anderson as her mother. You’ve got to be a real Spelling fan to slog through this one. Extras: Full frame, nine episodes, deleted scenes, audio commentary (Spelling, producers), featurettes, bloopers STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES (CBS/Paramount, 1973-74, four discs, $62.99). This cartoon version of the original "Star Trek" series isn’t a bad reincarnation, some four years after the show was canceled. The big draw is that this one features the voices of all the principal actors as the same characters they created - William Shatner as Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, DeForest Kelley as Bones, George Takei as Sulu, James Doohan as Scotty (and other characters) and Nichelle Nichols as Uhura (and others), as well as Majel Barrett (also doing a variety of voices). Missing is Walter Koenig’s Chekov, although Koenig did write a script for this show. Stiff animation but interesting stories. Extras: Full frame, 22 episodes, audio/text commentaries, featurettes, storyboards CATHY & MARCY’S SONG SHOP: LIVE IN CONCERT (Community Music, 2006, $15). An hourlong concert performed before a Toronto audience, aimed at young children. Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer are Grammy-winners who sing, as well as yodel and clap hands and use American Sign Language. Extras: Full frame. (May be ordered at www.cathymarcy.com.) SIGN AND ABCS (Aylmer, 2006, $15). Designed to teach children ages 2 and up about sign language, as well as the written and spoken alphabet. Extras: Full frame. THE LITTLE PLAYDATES (Little Friends, 2006, not rated, $12.95). Live-action footage of babies and toddlers set to music is used to demonstrate appropriate positive behaviors. Extras: Full frame, pop-up phrases for children, interviews. |

| "Grosse Pointe" Tv Series - Complete Series DVD available ! Grosse Pointe: The Complete Series - Sony Pictures - $29.95 The rare WB sitcom that was actually funny, Grosse Pointe combined the broad humor of creator Darren Star’s Sex and the City with the premise of his previous creations, the prime-time soaps Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place. Set behind the scenes at a WB drama, the show ruthlessly satirized such WB fare as Dawson’s Creek alongside Star’s older shows. Characters include Irene Molloy as the bitch-off-camera lead (no comment), Kohl Sudduth as her bad-boy love interest hiding a receding hairline (no comment), and Lindsay Sloane as the meek best friend who, in the original version of the pilot, only got the job because of a powerful relative (again, no comment). The off-camera storylines are funny enough, but the show-within-the-show gives Grosse Pointe extra bite; Sloane’s character falls into a coma with a "live or die" hotline sponsored by Subway, while Bonnie Sommerville’s naïve ingénue is rewritten from a hayseed cousin to a stripper/prostitute after her ex-boyfriend publishes nude photos of her. A number of celebrities played themselves in guest spots, including Jason Priestley as Sudduth’s sex-addicts sponsor and Sarah Michelle Gellar (who wants a lesbian kiss with Sloane’s character). The WB’s audience didn’t know what to make of this, but thankfully Amazon.com has reissued the series in an online exclusive with commentary and a new interview with Star. The episode where Molloy gains weight to play Monica Lewinsky in an Oliver Stone film and actually becomes nice is worth the price of the set by itself. |
