You can copy/paste the URL above to hear David Bianculli's review of the following four boxed DVD sets.  Bianculli LOVES them!!--Margaret

"A great one, for starters, is a 21-disc Shout! Factory set called The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis: The Complete Series."

"The Time Life set of China Beach: The Complete Series holds up well, too. This series, on ABC from 1988 to 1992, was a drama about an Army hospital and recreation and rehab center in Vietnam."

"On the much lighter side is Acorn Media's Dirk Gently, a four-episode BBC comedy series from 2010 and 2012. It stars Stephen Mangan, of the delightful Showtime series Episodes, and it's based on the metaphysical mystery novels by Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stories, so I don't have to say much more about that one."

"Last, but to me certainly not least, is Shout! Factory's The Jack Benny Program: The Lost Episodes. These are episodes that, partly because they originally were preserved on kinescope rather than film, were not included in standard home video and TV syndication packages, so most of them haven't been available in more than 50 years. And for older TV viewers especially, these are a blast to watch precisely because theyare so unfamiliar."
