TV on DVD: Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Another season of Survivor comes out today. If CBS really loved us it would just air the season in a block on Sundays every so often.

Survivor 20: Heroes vs Villains
It's hard to believe that Survivor has been around for ten years, but that's mostly because Heroes vs. Villains is already its twentieth season. Most reality shows end up producing an "all-stars" season when casting that year was kind of slow, so we knew this day was coming. While it's hard to say whether or not the good against bad thing really worked out for the show, there were plenty of golden moments for those Survivor fans who have been casting this season in their heads for the last decade. The DVDs have the webisodes that followed some of the last few contestants after getting voted off and how they got selected for the jury. Other extras include Meet the Contestants, the Survivor 10th Anniversary Party, Tribal Council, and contestant exit interviews.

Huge: The Complete Series
While it proved that ABC Family could produce an original series of some quality, Huge also proved that the channel doesn't want to produce anything of the sort (the other exception being the glorious Pretty Little Liars, of course). Developed by My So-Called Life creator Winnie Holzman, the series' characters are trying to come to terms with themselves in a way that few teen dramas ever try to. Don't be shocked when people start mentioning this show in the same breath as Freaks and Geeks.

Weeds: Season 6
With this season, Nancy's adventures have now gone on twice as long as they should have. What were the Showtime people smoking when they renewed this show?

Nurse Jackie: Season 2
Who doesn't love a hard-as-nails pill-popping nurse with a heart of gold?

Also out this week: The Guild: Season 4, FLCL: The Complete Series, Have Gun Will Travel: Fifth Season V.2, and Ice Road Truckers: The Complete Fourth Season.
