All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. This week's DVD selections are all TV series, though there are some movies coming out on DVD today, like the Kevin Costner thriller Mr. Brooks.
Veronica Mars: Season Three
VM fans, the wait is over! Season Three has finally made it to DVD and the 6-disc set looks to be a doozy. In addition to all the episodes that made up what turned out to be, sadly, VM's final season, there are a bunch of interesting extra features. There's a gag reel (natch), unaired scenes, cast interviews and set tours. Most interestingly, however, there's a featurette called "Pitching Season 4" in which Rob Thomas explains the idea he had for a new direction for the series — fast-forwarding years later with Veronica as a rookie FBI agent.
Two more new releases if you read more
The Sopranos: Season Six, Part Two
Continuing on the train of sad final seasons, today you can also find the second part of The Sopranos' sixth season, complete with that much-discussed final episode. In addition to the episodes that aired last spring (Episodes 13-21), you can hear commentary by some of the cast members and delve deeper into the music of show. There's also a featurette that goes behind the scenes of Christopher's horror film Cleaver. So the series may have been laid to rest but if you come away from the show with nothing else, don't forget: "Don't Stop Believin'."
The Company
It may not be the most fantastic CIA drama ever made, but this miniseries that aired on TNT over the summer is fairly compelling. Sure, a similar story is told in The Good Shepherd, but The Company does explore some different territory. The story follows the Cold War intelligence battle between the CIA and the KGB from the end of World War II to the fall of the Soviet Union. The performances of Alfred Molina and Michael Keaton are particularly absorbing.
Start London
I love Kristen Bell
1Yay Sopranos!
2I want to see the season 4 pitch.
3I love this show. I'm still sad it was cancelled.
4I'm still in denial that Veronica Mars is over. I loved that show. Thank goodness we have enough Kristen Bell in other shows to feed my addiction!
5as sad as it will be to watch it knowing that there isn't ever really going to be any resolution, I cannot wait to take the journey again.
6Woo! Veronica Mars finally out! At least there are more extras this time and we get to see Veronica as an agent. I just wish there were commentaries!
7Gahsp. The fourth season would have been awesome!
8I miss Veronica Mars right now! Watching CW on Tuesdays at 9pm just isn't the same as good as Reaper is.
On Heroes, Kristen Bell's 'dad' should be Enrico Colantoni (sp?)!
