THE 10th KINGDOM
Probably the most underrated television miniseries ever and possibly the last broadcast television miniseries, The 10th Kingdom took the word “epic” and ran with it when it premiered in 2000 on NBC. With a cast led by Kimberly Williams and John Larroquette, the epic 10 hour miniseries from the masters who defined epic miniseries, the Halmis, introduces to an incredible world filled with the fairy tales and characters we all grew up with, but with a definite twist and definitely not as we remembered them. Fun, smart, magical, and very grown-up, this is a television event that the whole family can and should enjoy.

The 10th Kingdom $14.49

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
The little show that could is currently in its defying-all-odds 4th season on DirecTV (coming to NBC next year) and it is not too late to discover the show that critics, fans, and even network executives are rallying behind.

KINGS
Want to watch the best hours of television drama of 2009? Here it is. Kings was a show that was not like anything else on television. It had something for everyone from drama, politics, war, romance, royalty, soap opera, teen drama, even comedy… it was a vivid and excellent series that deserved to live longer than it did, but thankfully will survive for a long time on DVD for future generations to discover what could have been.

Kings – The Complete Series $42.49

PUSHING DAISIES
A show that takes death and makes it fun and colorful and enjoyable. Though we only got two seasons of Pushing Daisies, it was an excellent two seasons worth of some of the funniest and most enjoyable hours on television the last two years.

Pushing Daisies: The Complete Second Season $21.99

POWER RANGERS RPM
The last new season of Power Rangers will wrap up on Christmas weekend with two of the last four episodes airing the week before with the final hour on December 26. Currently on hiatus thanks to college gridiron action on Saturdays, this is the perfect time to catch up with the best, most mature series of Power Rangers ever. Unexpectedly dark and dramatic, though still with its target young audience in mind, RPM takes all the previous Power Rangers conventions and stereotypes and throws them out the window in favor of a thoroughly enjoyable series that makes one yearn for the franchise to be taken to Syfy primetime and given the Battlestar Galactica treatment. It’s that good.

Power Rangers RPM, Vol. 1: Start Your Engines $14.99
Power Rangers RPM, Vol. 2: Race for Corinth $16.49

THE AMAZING RACE
A fan of The Amazing Race? Here’s a way to enjoy the show and help the possibility of more seasons to be released on DVD! CBS has the very first season and season 7 (the infamous Rob & Amber from Survivor season) on DVD. Buying the DVDs will hopefully encourage CBS to release more of the classic seasons, especially the epic 3rd and 5th seasons. Watching the first season of The Amazing Race is incredibly interesting as we see how much the show has grown and evolved over the years. The show is just as exciting now as it was when the season first aired.

The Amazing Race: The First Season $30.49
The Amazing Race – The Seventh Season $32.49
