NEW RELEASE TUESDAY (1/7/14): THE FOLLOWING, ARCHER, CHINA BEACH & MORE


A bunch of fan favorites are hitting store shelves today and we have a breakdown of what's worth picking up and viewing.

Thriller Pick-of-the-Week

The Following - The Complete 1st Season (DVD/BD)


FOX's midseason hit, The Following, releases its short first season and provides viewers an opportunity to catch up on the rollercoaster before its second season debuts later this month.

Comedy Pick-of-the-Week

Archer - The Complete Fourth Season (DVD/BD)


FX's popular animated comedy, Archer, gets a fourth season release just days before the premiere of its new season. This latest release continues to follow the missions and antics of Sterling Archer and gang at ISIS. Break out the liquor and bring on the drinking games!

Retro Pick-of-the-Week

Barney Miller - The Complete Fourth Season


This classic situation comedy, set in the 12th Precinct of Manhattan, New York City, releases another individual season. Back in 2011, the entire Barney Miller series was released in a complete box set by Shout! Factory after obtaining the rights from Sony Television. Now Shout! is releasing the sets that Sony didn't get to and frankly we love it. Barney Miller has become a little gem for Stay Tuned and we are currently halfway through the show's eight season run. The comedy, antics, and chemistry between the detectives of the 12th helped propel the show's popularity, and its influence in future police comedies is clearly noted (Hello Brooklyn Nine-Nine!).

China Beach - Season 2


One of the most requested television series releases its second season. StarVista/Time Life did an excellent job obtaining the rights of almost all of the original music, which was emblematic in the storytelling of the characters and essential for the backdrop of the Vietnam War.

Honorable Mention

House of Lies - The Second Season


Star Trek: Enterprise - Season: Three (BD)
