DVD Pick of the Week: July 3

Wow, it's hard to believe the year is half-over, and coming months are the busiest time of the year <gulp>.

Fans of tween dramas will enjoy picking up the 5th season of Degrassi: The Next Generation. I grew up watching the original, and I'm impressed by the new series; it's a quality show that allows teens to bring up topics with their parents or older siblings. That's not my "pick of the week" for July 3, but it's a very good set.

My pick this week goes to the sci-fi series Eureka, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The 3-disc set includes all 12 episodes from the first season, along with commentary tracks, podcasts, deleted scenes, outtakes, mock infomercials, and webisodes. I've been waiting to see this ever since I was handed a cool 3D postcard for the show at Comic Con last year, and now I'll get a chance.

July 3rd is also the release date for the first season of Chancer with Clive Owen. The 13 season 1 episodes are being released in a 4-disc set by Acorn Media. Fans of Clive Owen should check this out - it sounds great.

What does your list for July 3rd look like? Check out the other titles being released on TVShowsOnDVD.com.

Sci-fi had a marathon of season 1 of eureka this tuesday and I recorded it all. (except the 1st episode, recording error) But I plan on watching it this weekend. If I like it, I'll probably buy the dvds at some point.

I do love degrassi, but the-n shows the reruns so much anyway, I don't feel the need to buy the dvds any time soon.

I caught the whole Eureka marathon and even though I watched it last summer, I really enjoyed watching it all again!

Season 2 starts July 10th!

I love Eureka. I pre-ordered the first season the minute it showed up on Amazon.com.

I have watched Eureka from the beginning, saw the marathon the other day and look forward to the Season Two changes they are making to shake things up.

The Eureka team was very clever. They had an alternate reality episode in Season 1 where all our shippers were rewarded and everything turns out swell.

So that is out of the way and they can get down to business shaking things up in Season Two by bringing in Jack Carter's ex-wife, putting Allison in charge instead of Nathan, and so much more.

I highly encourage people to watch this show. It is scifi geeky smart with a sense of humor and great bunch of quirky characters.
