- The Sherlock Holmes Collection: Blaine: This is an MGM release which is not the BBC series. I’m presently unable to confirm which movies it contains.
- Taking Woodstock
- To-Love Ru: Collection 1: Alex: This is a semi-homage to Urusei Yatsura, but with more nudity-with-strategically-placed-stuff in the fanservice. It’s also pretty funny.
- The Tudors: The Complete Third Season
- Wagon Train – The Complete First Season
- Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie
Now, the Blu-Ray picks:
- Basilisk: The Complete Series: Anime series about feuding ninja clans in feudal Japan.

- Samurai Champloo: The Complete Series: The spiritual successor to Cowboy Bebop, set during the Shogunate, and combining hip-hop and samurai films.
- Star Trek: The Original Series – Season 3
- Star Trek: The Original Series – Seasons 1-3: At the time of this writing, buying the three seasons individually is cheaper than buying all three together.
- Taking Woodstock
Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Star Trek Season 3 is an easy pick.” Alex says, “So it is. As is Samurai Champloo on Blu-Ray, if you have a Blu-Ray player. Also, if you don’t mind fanservice, and don’t have a Blu-Ray player, To-Love Ru isn’t half bad.”
