Damages was one of the best shows on television last year…as a matter of fact, I named it the best new drama of 2007. If you missed out on this fantastic program, or if you fell in love with it as much as I did, this coming Tuesday is going to be the day for you.

On January 29, the FX drama comes to DVD and BluRay. Special features on both versions include Willful Acts: The Making of Damages, Understanding Class Action: Interactive Guide, Trust No One: Insight from the Creators and commentaries on select episodes.

If you missed out on this phenomenal show, I highly urge you to check it out on DVD. You can read what I had to say about it here.

The standard version starts at $49.95 and the BluRay version retails at $79.95.

That’s right - George Lucas has figured out how to sell the story of Star Wars a New Hope to you one more time - and of course - there are both standard and “Special Editions” of it.

On January 15th, the Family Guy special episode that kicked off the most current season of the series will be available on DVD. Keep in mind, this episode won’t be featured on any DVD box sets - this is your only way to get it.

While I’m not sure about the special features on the regular disk, the special edition features the following:

Special Features:
Commentary by Seth MacFarlane
“Once in a Lifetime: The Making of Blue Harvest” Featurette
A conversation with George Lucas
Blue Harvest Animatics
Family Guy Features: Star Wars Clips
Something, Something, Something Dark Side Teaser
PLUS: 3D Blue Harvest Fight Scene

Collectibles:
Collector’s T-Shirt (100% cotton, Black, XL)
3D Glasses
12 Collector’s trading cards (in same style as original Star Wars trading cards) that form a 3D scene on the back
20-page “Art of Family Guy Presents: Blue Harvest” booklet including sketches, notes and a letter from Seth MacFarlane

This week Futurama returned from the cancellation hell that those idiots at Fox threw it into. The show has gained a huge following on Adult Swim since the cancellation, and is returning as a series of direct to DVD movies, and more episodes on Comedy Central in 2008.

“Bender’s Big Score” is their first feature length DVD…so…how does it stand up?

The Movie

I’m not even going to begin to recap the plot of the movie for you. I’ll hit a few highlights, but if you want to know the whole story, you’re going to have to buy the DVD.

The movie opens with a nice, stiff jab at Fox, then moves right into the plot. The gang all end up getting Spam after they give out their email addresses at a nude beach (you know, like you do). Also at the beach, they discover that Fry has a tattoo of Bender on his ass. The tattoo and the spammers lead to a time traveling adventure that covers thousands of years, and plays fan service to the audience like no money has ever done before.
