TV on DVD – NCIS, Gossip Girl, The Event, Off The Map

by Brett Love

There are a few newer entires to have a look at this week, including 'NCIS', 'NCIS LA', 'Gossip Girl', 'The Event', 'Off The Map', and 'Brothers & Sisters'. You'll also find the OG 'Prime Suspect', 'Upstairs Downstairs', 'Shark Men', 'Angry Beavers', and 'Garfield'.

With the new fall season just around the corner it’s time for the flood of current shows getting releases for their previous season. The run, which will continue into October, kicks off with NCIS, NCIS LA, Gossip Girl, and Brothers & Sisters. You’ll also find ‘Complete Series’ sets for The Event and Off The Map.

The really interesting entry, and my pick of the week, is the reissue of the first two sets from the OG Prime Suspect. I’m sure the timing has more than a little to do with the coming reimagining of Prime Suspect on NBC. Based on the trailer I’ve seen for the new version, I’m not that interested, and would recommend going with the original to anyone curious about Jane’s story. Part of that, I’m sure, is just my growing aversion to the rash of remakes in television and movies. But here, specifically, it’s also a case of the original being so good that there really isn’t a reason to try and do it again.
