DVD Release List – 11/11/08
New music isn't the only media to be released on Tuesdays; it's unveiling day for new DVDs as well…
Which complete series DVD box set would you like to buy this week? The Cosby Show? I Dream Of Jeannie? Little House On The Prairie? The Sopranos? How about the Blu-Ray edition of Firefly? Whether you're preparing for Christmas or just punting on network TV's lame fall season, there's plenty of TV-on-DVD hitting the racks these days, including a couple of curios for fans of the old-timey brand of television: a collection of broadcasts from the anthology series Studio One, and every color episode of the western series Wagon Train. In fact, it's a great week for archivists all around: Disney finally resumes it's "Treasures" series with the fourth volume of "The Chronological Donald" and two serials from The Mickey Mouse Show; MGM is offering a collection of 50 classic musicals; and Warner Bros. revives a trio of wartime musicals. And it's a good week for music buffs too; in addition to the musicals mentioned above, The Flaming Lips' oddball Christmas On Mars finally becomes available on DVD, as is a Smashing Pumpkins concert video and a collection of performances from the Live From Abbey Road series.
