In the first season of the series Spencer Strasmore, played by Dwayne Johnson, is struggling to find what to do with his life now that he has retired from the NFL. Currently he is

The Magicians – Season One The Magicians Season One (Universal Home Video) The Magicians is sort of like what Hogwarts Academy from the Harry Potter books would be like if it were visualized by MTV – lots of gorgeous college-aged students misbehaving and experimenting with spells, sex and bacchanalia. This new series, which debuted on SyFy Channel last December, is based on the trilogy of novels by Lev Grossman – The Magicians (2009), The Magician King (2011) and The Magician

If we miss the Clinton years now, watch this DVD and miss him a lot more. Little did we know what horror lie ahead, both in real life and on

Las Vegas – Season One – Uncut and Uncensored Las Vegas Season One – Uncut & Uncensored (Universal/NBC-2004) As glittery, fast-paced, fun and frantic as the city that inspires it, the series Las Vegas is an overwhelming triumph of style over substance. Full of greed, action, jackpots, neon lights and beautiful women and men, the show is as good an advertisement for the gambling capital as you can find. The fact that it’s actually a rather well-written, well-acted and enjoyabl

Kojak – Season One Kojak Season One – 1973 (Universal-2005) With Ving Rhames taking over the role of Kojak on USA Network’s newly configured version of the original cop series, there’s been newfound interest generated in the pioneering seventies drama and the actor who made bald cool and classy. Back during the polyester decade, the term “Who Loves Ya, Baby?” – one of Kojak‘s trademark expressions – took its rightful place alongside other beloved cultural perennials as Charli
