A ton of notable TV on DVD reviews this week including: The Sarah Silverman Program - Season One - a rather unusual sitcom, sharing more in common with "Tenacious D" than your traditional half-hour comedy; Prison Break - Season Two - few TV series have had the guts to revel in so much primordial, biblical melodrama, but Prison Break: Season 2 pulls it off effortlessly; Numb3rs - The Third Season - a solid third season from the show that proved you can solve murders with math. Other recent TV on DVD reviews include: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - The Complete Season 2, Criminal Minds - The Second Season, King of Queens - The Complete Ninth Season, Las Vegas: Season Four and McLeod's Daughters - The Complete Third Season.
