With all 24 episodes from the second season of hit sitcom ELLEN included, this is a welcome addition to the welter of television comedy titles currently available. Ellen DeGeneres stars as the title character; a kooky bookstore owner whose irreverent nature always manages to land her in trouble of some sort. Her friends Adam (Arye Gross) and Paige (Joely Fisher) add to the chaos, as does fellow worker Joe (David Anthony Higgins). In this season, Ellen can't seem to meet a guy to date, appears on AMERICAN GLADIATORS, tries her luck as a fitness guru, and ends up in more hot water than most folk experience in their entire lives!DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Commentary: 1.

This anime program follows in the tradition of schoolyard action-comedies, its most direct inspiration being the popular GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA. With a bit of homage to THE GODFATHER and THE UNTOUCHABLES, THE GOKUSEN (based on a manga of the same title) shows the double life of 23-year-old Kumiko, an heir to the Oedo Yakuza family. Amid flying bullets and the constant presence of hit men, the hardheaded Kumiko manages to pursue her dream of teaching and leading the youth of Japan. With her identity completely concealed, Kumiko takes a job as a math teacher for grades two to four, where the worst of the class bullies and rebels are amazed that they are completely unable to unnerve her with their outbursts. Kumiko does have some interesting quirks, such as launching into street-speak when she becomes enraged, a habit that risks getting her in trouble. This program has been discussed as the female counterpart to GTO, a manga (and anime) about a reformed biker dude who tries to provide guidance to his troubled students while not falling back into his own old habits. This release gathers all three volumes of the series (THE UNTEACHABLES, KUMIKO`S WAY, and ROAD TO GRADUATION), including episodes 1 through 13. As the series begins, Kumiko attempts to situate herself within the school community. As episodes progress, Kumiko finds it more and more difficult to disguise her true identity from her students. This is made even more challenging by the constant interference of her clan`s thugs and by a dropout who starts his own gang and sets his sights on Kumiko and her class. All hope falls on teacher`s pet Shin, who may not even be able to help because he is being kept away from school by his suspicious father, the police commissioner.

This made-for-Showtime series introduces a misanthropic female college dropout, Georgia George Lass (Ellen Muth), whose already mundane life becomes even more annoying when she dies. Instead of putting her out of her misery, Rube (Mandy Patinkin) forces George to perform the duties of a grim reaper while maintaining an otherwise ordinary existence. Unfortunately, this means working at the same temp agency that employed her before her accident. Created by Bryan Miller, DEAD LIKE ME features standout supporting turns from Patinkon, Callum Blue, Jasmine Guy, and Rebecca Gayheart. Includes all fourteen episodes from the show's groundbreaking first season.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes - 1.Behind the Scenes

Picking up soon after the events of the first film, this inspired sequel opens with agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) back in action against a team of lady bank robbers, only to have her cover blown by her newfound fame. In an effort to capitalize on the publicity--and as a result of being dumped by her boyfriend from the first film--Gracie lets herself be made into the feel-good ambassador of the FBI, helped by the staggeringly hip Joel (Dietrich Bader) and his stylists. The change is not good for the brash Ms. Hart, however, who is soon appearing on morning television and dispensing fashion tips instead of girl-power platitudes. Of course this phase doesn't last long; some goons out in Las Vegas kidnap Miss Congeniality (Heather Burns) and host Stan Fields (William Shatner), prompting Hart, with her intensely angry bodyguard, Sam Fuller (Regina King), to strap on her guns and get back in the game. Her method of operation includes beating up Dolly Parton, defying a sexist FBI bigwig (Treat Williams), and faking cramps. At one point she disguises herself as an old Jewish woman in a wheelchair, and later she's a Las Vegas showgirl doing Proud Mary at a drag club.Bullock's good-natured performance recalls the old-school comedic talents of Bob Hope or Barbara Stanwyck; she effortlessly makes Gracie Hart a unique and complex woman who is capable, sarcastic, intuitive, impressionable, and a secretly lonely tomboy. Also a plus is the refreshing lack of a male romantic interest as Hart and Fuller don't need some handsome guy to ride to their rescue and they aren't going to let sexual discrimination stop them from getting the job done.
