The Sopranos - The Complete Fourth Season
: :Carmela to Tony: 'Everything comes to an end.' True enough, Mrs. Sope, but on The Sopranos, the end comes sooner for some than others. Though for some the widely debated fourth season contained too much yakking instead of whacking, and an emphasis on domestic family over business Family, what critic James Agee once said of the Marx Brothers applies to The Sopranos: 'The worst thing they might ever make would be better worth seeing than most other things I can think of.' And in most respects, The Sopranos remains television's gold standard. The ...

The Sopranos - The Complete Third Season
:Description:Some suburban households have two cars. Some have two houses. But Tony Soprano has two families. This could be why the FBI is going to such lengths to wiretap his home. Why the son of his dear late friend Jackie Aprile is causing him such agita. Why a Russian housekeeper is searching for her missing leg. Why his son is vandalizing school property and his daughter is getting her heart broken. Why his wife Carmela is both consulting a psychiatrist and confessing to a priest.

No, Honestly - Set 1
: :Anglophiles and Britcom aficionados will welcome the video of this delightful 1974 series based on the books by Charlotte Bingham. Happily, the sparkling dialogue and engaging characters wear much better than the actors' horribly dated '70s wardrobes. John Alderton and his real-life wife, Pauline Collins, star as C.D. and Clara, the George Burns and Gracie Allen of Hampstead, right down to the 'Say goodnight, Clara' that closes each episode. This boxed set contains the first seven episodes of the series. Episode 1 sets the stage as C.D. and Clara, who have been married, Clara notes, ...

Brideshead Revisited, Books 1-6

Fawlty Towers - The Complete Collection
: essential video:Basil Fawlty, as created and performed by John Cleese, is the rudest, most boorish, most hilariously obnoxious man on the face of the planet. What a natural for a TV sitcom! His screen wife, Sybil (Prunella Scales), put it best in the episode 'The Psychiatrist': 'You're either crawling all over them, licking their boots, or spitting poison at them like some Benzedrine puff adder.' He mockingly replies, 'Just trying to enjoy myself, dear.' With his gangly frame and contortionist abilities, Cleese brilliantly punctuates Basil's outrageous faux pas with absurd gymnastics and ...

M*A*S*H TV Season One - 3 Tape Box Set
from: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
: :Like the TV incarnation of The Odd Couple, the M*A*S*H series has supplanted the original film in the public's consciousness.

These 24 first-season episodes--bracingly less politically correct than the shows in the final seasons--chart the program's sometimes bumpy evolution as it tried to remain true to the film's anarchic spirit while finding its own voice. The most memorable episodes include 'The Pilot,' which establishes ...

Shogun - The Complete Epic
: essential video:What better way to escape from the onslaught of so-called reality television than to sail away with Richard Chamberlain to 'the Japans' for a little samurai action and some discreet 'pillowing'?

In his award-winning performance, Chamberlain stars as John Blackthorne, the 17th-century English navigator on a Dutch trading ship.
