NEW RELEASE TUESDAY!

New Release Tuesday for July 16, 2013 is jam packed! The shelves are stocked today with a ton of TV-on-DVD releases and Stay Tuned is highlighting those shows that deserve a second look and maybe even a purchase.

Sci-Fi Pick of the Week

Alphas - Season 2

Syfy's science-fiction drama about a group of individuals with superhuman abilities see its second season released on DVD this week. Alphas slowly gained a following thanks in part to its well written storyline and characterization but it wasn't enough to prevent its cancellation earlier this year. This final season ends with an unresolved cliffhanger that will leave many in a lurch.

Superhero Pick of the Week

The Adventures of Superboy - Season 3

After spending years tied up in legal battles, the Superboy series is finally being released through Warner Archive Collection's made-to-order website. WAC has released some excellent TV shows in recent years and even though the episodes are not remastered, the studio has listened to fans' calls and produced season sets. The third season of Superboy was full of dramatic changes. Aside from the title change, the tone and storylines of the series were much darker than the light-hearted and even campy episodes from the shows' previous seasons. This season also features the alternate version of Superboy, a storyline familiar to comic book fans. Superman and, in general, comic book fans will want to scoop up this set.

Thriller Pick of the Week

Damages - Season 5

The fifth and final season of the FX legal thriller drama wraps up its usual case-of-the-season and featured guest star (this season, Ryan Phillippe). As the show winds down to its end, the tense rivalry that has brewed between Patty and Ellen for almost the entire run of the series finally comes to a shocking end.

Kid (or Kid-at-Heart) Pick of the Week

Hey Dude - Season 5

The fifth and final season of Hey Dude is released today exclusively through Shout! Factory's Shout Select line (Shout! Factory). Nickelodeon's original series continues the adventures at the Bar None Dude Ranch in this final season and ends with the gang trailing off into the sunset. Check out Stay Tuned's previous Throwback Thursday post on the history of Hey Dude (Stay Tuned's TBT - Hey Dude).

Comedy Pick of the Week

George Lopez - Season 3

The long-awaited release of the third season of George Lopez's comedy show has finally arrived! After three years since the release of the second season, this latest installment picks up where it left off following the lives of the dysfunctional Lopez family. George Lopez was an instant success on ABC and was one of the few shows to feature an all-Latino cast. Good to see Warner Bros. decided to allow this release.

Sleeper Pick of the Week

Hell on Wheels - Season 2

AMC's western drama revolving around the post-Civil War world sees its second season released on DVD. The season continued to focus on Cullen Bohannon as he forges west during the expansion of the Union Pacific Railroad. Hell on Wheels has become a tucked little gem of a show with a loyal following of post-Civil War buffs.
