Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.
If you loved
The Rockford Files and you own the season sets, you'll probably want to buy Volume 1 of the movies (four in this batch) that is being released tomorrow. They weren't as good as the series, of course (sort of like the
Spenser: For Hire movies that Robert Urich did after that series ended), but they're actually pretty good.
And season 6 of
Kate & Allie is out. That reminds me: I still have to get season 5.
- Afro Samurai - Complete Murder Sessions
- The Clone Wars - Season 1
- Doctor Who - The War Games and The Black Guardian Trilogy
- Edge of Darkness - The Complete BBC Series

First Patrick McGoohan and now Ricardo Montalban.
Montalban died earlier today in Los Angeles. He was 88. He was best known for playing Mr. Roarke on the odd ABC show
Fantasy Island. Actually, he was probably equally known for his role in
Star Trek. He played Khan in a classic episode of the original series in the 60s, and later reprised the role in the big screen flick
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, arguably the best of the
Trek movies. Though I also liked the one with the whales.
Montalban had a long career, appearing in such shows as
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,
The Wild, Wild West,
I Spy,
Gunsmoke,
Hawaii Five-0,
Here's Lucy,
Dynasty,
Murder, She Wrote (which seems to show up in every obit I write here),
B.L. Stryker,
Chicago Hope, and many more. He was in my favorite version of
Wonder Woman. His last role was on an episode of
Family Guy earlier this year. He also did a ton of movies, the first one being
Five Were Chosen in 1942.
Coincidentally, like McGoohan, Montalban also played a killer on
Columbo. He killed a guy with a bull.
