Pioneers of Television: Season 2
A little shallow, but entertaining
Television series
Rod Lott
Season two of PBS’ “Pioneers of Television” documentary series hits DVD in one set or in four separate editions, each devoting one hour to a specific genre: “Crime Dramas,” “Local Kids’ TV,” “Science Fiction” and “Westerns.”
Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol
Great for fans, a bit zany for newcomers

You may question the decision to release "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol" in February.

Sometimes I make mistakes. For the sake of this review, my most egregious recent error was not catching "Justified" when it aired on FX last spring. I just assumed it was an update of "McCloud" and paid no mind.
Archer: The Complete Season One
Funny and actually scripted!
Television series
Rod Lott
FX's "Archer" is the funniest animated series for adults since "The Venture Bros." first hit the airwaves in 2003.
The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection
40 discs. 40.
Top Shot: Season One
Gun porn, but amusing for a while
Television series
Rod Lott
What do you get when you combine 15 men, one woman and enough weapons to arm an insurgency? "Top Shot," a History Channel series that's nothing if not well-loaded. Its first season is now available in a four-disc set.
Nite Tales: The Series
Television series
Rod Lott
There's nothing wrong with the idea of an urban take on "Tales from the Crypt." It's been done successfully before, in 1995's "Tales from the Hood."
Funny or Die Presents: The Complete First Season
Television series
Rod Lott
A simple litmus test: If you like the Interwebs version, you'll like the cathode one, too.
Zorro: The Complete Series
Television series
Rod Lott
I'm drawn to many adaptations of Mexico's mysterious, masked rider, but Family Channel's early-'90s television series is not one of them.
Downton Abbey
Television series
Jenny Coon Peterson
Confession: I watched all seven episodes of “Downton Abbey” over the course of two days.
Durham County: Season Two
Television series
Rod Lott
Just as Michelle Forbes stole the second season of "True Blood," she does the same for the second season of "Durham County."
United States of Tara: The Second Season
Television series
Rod Lott
Toni Collette didn't win a second Emmy for "United States of Tara"'s second season, and that's too bad, because with one exception, its sophomore year was up to par with its freshman one.
Slings and Arrows
Television series
Rod Lott
I'll be the first to admit I was skeptical about "Slings & Arrows," the critically acclaimed 2003-2006 Canadian series set amid a Shakespearean theater troupe.
Apparitions
Television series
Rod Lott
It's too easy to dub "Apparitions" as "The Exorcist: The Series," but it kind of is.
