This is a poor week for North American productions, but a great week for North American fans of European productions.
First, the genre releases:
- The Animation Show: A two disk collection of both releases.
- Area 88 TV: Complete Collection
- Caravan: The Ultimate Collection
- Die You Zombie Bastards!: I have no idea what this is about, but a title like that just has to be mentioned. It bills itself as “The World’s First EVER Serial Killer Superhero Rock ‘n’ Roll Road Movie Romance.”
- Doctor Who – The Complete Second Series: The first David Tenant set.
- Fafner: Complete Collection
- Grim Reaper
- My Hero – Season One: British Superhero comedy.
- Ramna 1/2: Season One: The Digital Dojo
- Space Academy: The Complete Series
Now, the non-genre releases:
- ‘Allo ‘Allo – Complete Series Six
- Border Radio: Criterion Collection. ‘Nuff said.
- Gridiron Gang: Starring The Rock. Also on Blu-ray.
- In Her Line of Fire
- The King of Queens – The Complete Seventh Season
- Love Scenes: The Romance Classics Collection: Includes “The Sheik,” “Indiscreet,” “A Farewell to Arms,” “Bird of Paradise,” “Animal Kingdom,” “I Cover the Waterfront,” “My Man Godfrey,” “Love Affair,” “Made For Each Other,” “Beyond Tomorrow,” “Penny Serenade,” and”Cyrano de Bergerac.”
- Mouchette: More Criterion Collection goodness.
- Murder Was The Case
- Mutual of Omahas: Wild Kingdom – The Definitive 50-Episode Collection
- Purgatory House: I’ve never heard of it before, but reading that it was written by its 14 year old star convinced me to mention it.
- Read It and Weep (Zapped Edition)
- Rising Damp – Series 3: More British Comedy
- The Royle Family – The Complete First Season: Yet more British Comedy.
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Beginning
- That’s Black Entertainment: Celebrating talent unappreciated in its day.
Finally, the pick of the week.
I’ve got to go with the Doctor Who collection, though I’ve also enjoyed My Hero and ‘Allo ‘Allo.
Woo!
Yay, another series of ‘Allo ‘Allo! It’s a funny show.
So is "My Hero"! Yay! Stars Ardal O’Hanlon whom I’m sure you all remember from "Father Ted". What? Nobody but me ever saw that show? Well you’ll just have to trust me then.
