Interested in the latest TV on DVD reviews? DVD Talk has you covered! This week's notable entries include: Regular Show: The Complete Third Season - a beautifully surreal, deadpan hilarious mixture of workplace sitcom and wild slacker/gamer flights of sci-fi fancy, frequently blown up to hysterical, epic proportions; Jack Taylor: Set 2 - in this second collection of episodes, Taylor is a more engaging character, the mysteries are darker and leave you guessing, and the series spanning character developments are critical in building an organic world for star Iain Glen to tear up with his wonderful performance; and The Legend of Korra - Book Two: Spirits - this second outing still manages to deliver some hefty adventure, thrilling twists, and a spiritual quest that is far more impressive and notable to find than most would ever imagine encountering with a family-friendly animated program. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Ranma 1/2 Set 2, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: The Complete First Season, and WWE: WCW's Greatest PPV Matches.  Want more?  Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVD Talk database.

This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes - Billy Wilder's superb epic about the World's Greatest Consulting Detective remains his most rewarding late-career feature; Caught - An ambitious, penniless woman chases a fairy tale scenario of marrying a rich Prince Charming, only to find herself the 'property' of a tyrannical millionaire; and Picnic at Hanging Rock - Peter Weir's Victorian puzzle picture about disappearing schoolgirls on a hike hasn't dimmed in interest. We're still trying to figure out whodunnit, or what kind of supernatural hoodoo voodoo made them vanish into thin air. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Another banner week for DVDs with the studios releasing some great films and boxed sets such as: Black Dynamite: Season One [review] - this slight retooling of the feature film's subversive mix of comedy, action and tongue-in-cheek Blaxploitation is wildly entertaining; Under the Skin [review] - Scarlett Johansson stars in this dark and atmospheric film that asks viewers to pay attention and piece together the story on their own; and Deadly Eyes [review] - if you enjoy goofy animal attack/nature run amok films then consider this one recommended... it definitely is entertaining.
