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: Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids: The Complete Series - those old enough to remember it should enjoy this whopping 15-disc boxed set that herds together all 110 episodes of the classic series; Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries: Complete Collection - the tales of this iconic character are well paced, funny, exciting, and provide the intricate puzzles; and Todd & the Book of Pure Evil: The Complete Second Season - this is pretty great stuff... it's consistently funny, sometimes pretty shocking, and it's also often times quite clever. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Perry Mason - Final Season - Season 9, Volume 1, Workaholics: Season Three, and Legendary Ninja Cats: The Complete Series.  Want more?  Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVDTalk database.

Some great DVD and Blu-ray reviews have been added to the the DVD Talk Review Database recently including: Stoker - an artsy and dark piece of cinema that begs to be seen multiple times; Of Human Bondage: Kino Classics Remastered Edition - this 1934 silver-screen version of W. Somerset Maugham's perennially admired and beloved novel is surprisingly fluent and hard-hitting; and The Mask Of Dimitrios - a highly recommended film noir starring Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet that is clearly patterned after The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca.
