There’s some interesting stuff on DVD this week, some which I’d love to comment on, but haven’t watched yet, so can’t. Rest assured, I’ll be watching them at some point, but until then, you can check out season seven of The Shield and season two of Reaper and report back to me. Click on the pics below for the links to Amazon.
I do want to give special kudos to the Norman Lear TV Collection, a fab new set that includes 19 discs of classic stuff and six hours of bonus material. It’s the first seasons of All in the Family, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Maude, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (first 25 episodes), One Day at a Time, and Sanford & Son. It sounds like a must-have for any Norman Lear fan, and a good reminder of the vast number of shows Lear helmed.
Also on DVD this week is season three of Survivorman. Is there anyone on TV kookier (or more knowledgeable about how to survive in the wild) than Les Stroud? Somehow, watching him figure out how to drink his own urine or find something non-poisonous to eat is wildly fascinating. But hey, if I ever find myself in the Australian Outback or the Arctic Tundra, at least I’ll have some idea of what — and what not — to do.
