New TV on DVD Releases This Week

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.'Studio One' is one of those shows I wasn't sure they'd ever release on DVD. Sure, it's an important, classic shows, but I wondered if they'd bother releasing them and if some of the tapes were erased or in horrible condition. There was a big 'Studio One' set released last year, and this week we have 'Twelve Angry Men' and the Rod Serling dramas in separate sets. Really great stuff, and well worth getting if you're into TV history.
Or you could buy season one of 'Gary Unmarried.'
- 'Army Wives' - Season 3
- 'Fraggle Rock' - Wembley's Egg Surprise
- 'Gary Unmarried' - Season 1
- 'The Guild' - Season 3
- 'JAG' - The Final Season
Universal to adapt Second Sight

Yet another BBC series is being adapted to American audiences. Only this time, it sounds like it's going to be a movie.Universal Pictures will be adapting the 1999 BBC series Second Sight which launched the career of Clive Owen. It will be produced by Angry Film's Don Murphy and Susan Montford. The story is about a homicide detective named Ross Tanner who suffers from a degenerative eye illness that leads to blindness and hallucinations. As a result, he must rely more on his intuition to solve crimes.
There have certainly been any number of American adaptations of British shows over time. Some are good and some are utter crap. Second Sight does sound like a good premise (I've never seen the show), but I think the movie would have more credentials if they made sure to involve members of the original crew. I wonder if they'll get Clive Owen to reprise his role?
