Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.
Not only is
The Lola Falana Show on DVD now, I didn't even know there
was a
Lola Falana Show . I knew that there was a Lola Falana (that's a fun name to say: Lola Falana Lola Falana Lola Falana). She was a dancer and actress who was pretty well known back in the 70s, but her TV show escaped my radar. This set includes guest stars Dick Van Dyke, Bill Cosby, Sonny and Cher, and Muhammad Ali.
There's also a
Heeere's Johnny: The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson "Holiday Set." It looks like the same set that I've owned for a couple of years (several DVDs split up into different categories: Timeless Moments, Standup Comedians, Carson Country, and the original Ultimate Collection disc), but with a special Christmas disc thrown in, with three classic episodes.
Ally McBeal - Season 1 and Complete Series
Astroboy - Vols 1 and 2
Blood Ties - Season 2

Howdy from Pasadena! Anyone who's been following either
TV Squad's or my
personal Twitter feed has noticed that I've been busy at the first day of the
TCA press tour . Cable is up first; today was a relatively light day, with the Travel Channel, Fox Reality, and Turner making presentations. AMC will have a cocktail party later today, where I'm sure Matthew Weiner is going to be bombarded by reporters with
Mad Men questions before he even reaches the shrimp spread.
The first panel was for the Travel Channel's ode to regional food and gluttony,
Man v. Food . Host Adam Richman and executive producer Charlie Parsons took questions from the critics about their upcoming second season and about why they pick the cities they pick. I love the show, but I always wondered how Richman was able to withstand the quantity challenges he puts himself through in many of the episodes. Richman's answer? A workout regimen that makes him sound more like a GNC employee than a guy scarfing seven pound cheeseburgers.
