On the second day of my Holiday Gift GuideThere are more TV shows on DVDThat ya’ll need to find under your tree!Like…The X-Files: The Complete Collector’s Edition—Now, I wouldn’t call myself a collector, but I dug this show in a big ol’ way. And how could you not? David Duchovny has never been cooler, Gillian Anderson gets hotter as the seasons go on (the red hair simmas down, too) and the mythology is relatively easy to follow. And this set? Forget. About. IT! When they say “complete,” they ain’t messin’ around. Each season has a “making-of” featurette, there’s a 60-page episode guide and the deleted scenes are to die for. Oh, and the "Fight the Future" movie is in there, so you get the whole continuity thing. Honestly, this is one of those sets that every company should check out when planning full-show releases. Just be careful. Once you start sorting through the 201 episodes for one of those couch-devouring “f...

I added this topic as a poll, but it's not getting any interest so I figured a blog post was in order.I recently finished watching a DVD set with some horrible, horrible commentaries, and that got me thinking; do people like commentaries?I enjoy a good commentary track, such as the ones on The Shield season 1, or the NewsRadio DVD sets. I asked Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield, if he went to "commentary school" a few years ago; he has mastered the ability to moderate commentaries to make them both fun, and informative. He allowed the discussion to drift off course, then gently brought it back to a discussion of the show. The NewsRadio commentaries were a blast; Any Dick discussed his drug use, while Vicki Lewis talked about the affair she had with a producer. Those commentaries were almost as entertaining as the episodes.But I've also heard some horrible commentary tracks, ones that were more "play-by-play" of the events on screen than informative. I strongly believe that a comment...

Thankfully tonights episode brought us back to the interesting cases and patients that draw out the best and the worst in our favorite ER doctors and nurses We were also treated to some more superlative guest-acting Sean Young is certainly no Forest Whitaker but she was poignant and sympathetic in her portrayal of the mother suspiciously dying from liver failure Though I wasnt the least bit surprised that the hateful older son was complicit in her scheme to slowly kill herself without jeopardizing the insurance money for her sons I did think this was an interesting way to once again call Gates moral compass into question Lukas assessment of Gates ability to lie without a second thought was spot-on It was interesting to juxtapose this story against Neelas refusal to participate in Manishs surgey due to her own reservations about his motives for donating a kidney Frankly I was somewhat surprised at Dubenkos pragmatic approach

Two weeks, and two Stamford employees who simply couldn't take the leadership of one Michael Scott. I'm disappointed to see Wayne Wilderson leave us already (and while we're on the topic, there was some disagreement last week as to whether we should refer to him as Purple Grapes or the WaMu guy — I have to confess, in my heart of hearts he'll always be the OSHA rep from that one episode of NewsRadio where Matthew hurt himself playing a rousing game of "Who Can Get the Paper Cup Off the Light Fixture" with Joe). But I'm putting my money on Nursing Mom to be the next to hand in her resignation. We can only hope Andy's here to stay — Ed Helms rocks my socks. If you changed the channel before the end credits, you missed something special: a super-falsetto serenade to Pam of "Rainbow Connection," complete with banjo accompaniment, with a wonderfully sweet two-shot of Jim and Pam letting us know that everything's gonna be OK. Sure, Jim is dating Karen (and it's hard to admit it,...

Question: Like you and many others, I am so thankful that Scrubs is back (and better than ever) after its inexcusable mistreatment by NBC, my former favorite network. I see that the ratings so far are decent but not spectacular. It's a little bittersweet because I have this sinking feeling that we may be seeing its last hurrah. I understand the argument that Scrubs is not a NBC-owned show, but still.... Anyway, Matt, what's your gut feeling about Scrubs' chances for renewal next season? And if it were to be canceled (shame on you, NBC), is there any possibility it would be picked up by another network? I know that's happened from time to time, with varying degrees of success. Your take?
Answer: I almost never answer yes when asked what the chances are of a show moving from one network to another. That almost never happens. In the case of Scrubs, however, the possibility is much more likely, since ABC entertainment chief Steve McPherson used to run the studio (Touchstone) that developed

Listen up: If you've ever worked in an office and you're not watching The Office, you're missing out on the most therapeutically hilarious half hour this side of Arrested Development. That's right; I said it. This week the Dunder-Mifflin employees find themselves marooned in the parking lot after a fire non-drill, and just like our Lost-aways, their survival instinct and penchant for conflict kick in almost immediately. While Jim keeps the masses occupied with a friendly game of Desert Island, boss-man Michael "Out of the Building First" Scott lands himself in the middle of a deliciously complex love triangle. On the left, there's Dwight, a man willing to run into a burning building after your cell phone and clearly the most dedicated fire marshal in all of Scranton. And on the right, ther

Dave Foley may be best known for his five seasons on NBC's NewsRadio, but the comic's most groundbreaking work came prior to that on the surreal sketch-comedy series The Kids in the Hall (1989-95). Foley is thrilled that Kids are getting the gold-star treatment this week from A&E Home Video with a four-disc DVD set containing the first season of their hilariously absurd work. In honor of Kids' big revival, the Will & Grace guest star agreed to dish loads of backstage dirt with TV Guide Online.
TV Guide Online: What fond memories do you have about Kids in the Hall?Dave Foley: Oh, I remember every fight — we tended to fight a lot.
TVGO: What do you mean by a lot?Foley: Constantly. People outside the group would assume that we could never work together again after the things that we would say to each other. It was always personal, but thinly disguised as a creative difference. When you had a
