Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.
Wow, this is quite a week for TV fans of all types. You can get the complete series sets for
The Sopranos and
I Dream of Jeannie, and anniversary sets for such TV classics as
The Cosby Show and
The Long Ranger. I even see a season 2 set for
Mister Peepers! I didn't even know there was a season 1 set already released, so I'll have to look into that.
The
Studio One anthology is a real gem, and I'll have a review of it later this week.

- Band of Brothers - Miniseries (Blu-Ray)
