NEW RELEASE TUESDAY (9/2/2014) - TV ON DVD

New Release Tuesday (9/2/2014)

September is typically a busy month for TV-on-DVD releases, aiming for the fans and binge watchers before the new season begin. The 2014-2015 television season doesn't officially kick-off until September 22 but many shows are returning and/or debuting before that date.

Season 2 of Chicago Fire and the first season of its procedural spin-off, Chicago P.D. both hit the shelves today.

Grey's Anatomy fans can relive the final season featuring Cristina with the complete tenth season set. New Girl's see-saw romance that defined Season 3 comes out on DVD.

Additionally, The Originals (spin-off of The Vampire Diaries) and Person of Interest see multiple format releases today. Fans can pick up the DVD/Blu-ray combo of the freshman supernatural series or repeat the death that shocked viewers on the third season of the CBS drama.

FX Networks gets in on the action with the ninth season release of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Season 5 of The League, which comes out just in time for its sixth season premiere this Wednesday.

Summer pirate adventure Crossbones releases its first season on DVD. The fate of the show that follows Blackbeard still remains in the air but viewers can repeat that incredible season (or series) finale.

On the retro TV front, Mill Creek Entertainment continues re-releasing previous Sony sets. This time around, 1970s hits Soap and What's Happening!! each receive a Season 1 & 2 combo release. Individual sets of both shows' seasons are also released.

The first and second seasons of Benson become available as well, and in both combo or individual sets. While Season 1 was originally released to retail in 2007, this is the first time Season 2 gets a retail release. A previous set was offered but only as a Sony MOD DVD-R.

Finally, western TV show fans will be anxious to pick up The Official 7th Season of Bonanza.

FALL 2013: 'CHICAGO FIRE' SPIN-OFF RECRUITS TWO MORE ACTORS

Chicago PD, the spin-off to NBC's successful firefighter drama Chicago Fire, continues adding series regulars to its cast. The midseason cop drama has recently recruited Sophia Bush, from One Tree Hill fame, and The 4400's Patrick Flueger to boost its cast. Bush will portray Detective Erin Lindsey, a member of the Chicago Police Department's investigative team, and Flueger will play Kyle Ruzek, a short-tempered rookie who becomes part of the department's undercover unit.

The new characters of Chicago PD were introduced last May in one of the final episodes of Chicago Fire's first season. It was a rather quick decision to approve a spin-off from a show that hadn't been on the air for more than one season, but considering creator and producer Dick Wolf's track record with the Law & Order franchise, NBC didn't need much convincing.

Chicago PD is slated to premiere midseason.
