TV on DVD: Secret Agent, Frank Sinatra, and Californication
Secret Agent: a.k.a. Danger Man - The Complete Collection More TV shows have made their way on to DVD, and DVD Talk has got them covered. Check out our reviews of the newest TV releases including: Secret Agent: a.k.a. Danger Man - The Complete Collection - a remarkably consistent effort, sporting excellent scripts, inventive direction, and perhaps the most enigmatic performer to ever grace the small screen, Patrick McGoohan; Frank Sinatra: Concert Collection - an invaluable chronicle of how a classic performer adapted to the then-new medium of television and made it his own; and Californication: The Third Season - the show is as irreverent as ever and the writers managed to bring back some actual dramatic intrigue in this third season. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Sex & the City: Complete Collection, Mad About You: The Complete Fifth Season, and WWE: Wrestling's Highest Flyers.  Want more?  Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVDTalk database.

DVD Savant: The Twilight Zone, Chaplin, and The Hypnotic Eye
The Magician This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Twilight Zone Season 2 - HD transfers in startling clarity present Rod Serling's imaginative fantasy TV show at its very best. The four disc Blu-ray box overflows with commentaries, interviews and a bonus TV show; Chaplin at Keystone - An authoritative boxed set contains all but one of Chaplin's first films for Mack Sennett's Keystone Studio, restored to excellent quality. The Little Tramp is invented before our eyes. Nicely appointed with interesting extras; and The Hypnotic Eye - One of the crazier horror pix of the post- William Castle gimmick days, this shocker alternates gruesome scenes of self-mutilation with supposedly real attempts to hypnotize the audience. "Look if you DARE!" Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
