DVD Day, Minus One

[filkertom]

Yes, yes, I know -- DVDs are released on Tuesday. Why post about them Monday? Because that way you've got a whole extra day to be jacked about some of the stuff coming out tomorrow. And I'm not talkin' Forgetting Sarah Marshall or Dora The Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess.

No, I'm thinking stuff like Iron Man (there is no reason whatsoever to get the single-disk edition on this one. You know you want the cool extras).

And two complete series collections, specifically Sports Night (created by Aaron Sorkin) and Beauty and the Beast (with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton). (... Wait, wait, wait. Check this out. I'm not hallucinating, right? At the top it says "The Complete Series", and it's sure priced that way, but the description certainly seems to make it just a Season Three set.)

And the biggie for a lot of us, When We Left Earth - the NASA Missions, a Discovery Channel miniseries with lots of digitally remastered NASA footage (including four hours' worth not shown on TV).

And, there's a little thing called Live at Montreux 1991-1992. Turns out to be, rather than the storied jazz festival, two early concerts by Tori Amos.

Any other new vid we should know about?

CBS Video's ad claims the B&TB collection has "all 55 episodes from all three seasons." Given that a usual season is 22-24 episodes, that sounds about right...and 3 disks would probably be needed to hold it all plus the extras. (We are promised an "interactive quest" and "Vincent's Love Letters," among other goodies.) When I have money again (I just blew half my checking account on a plane ticket to Kenya), I intend to get it to share with the Songbird.

The first two seasons were great, but once Linda Hamilton decided she wanted out, it got truly silly. The one good thing about Season Three is that it introduced us to Jo Anderson. (No relation to Gillian, despite the surname and the red hair.)
