Cheap Trick - From Tokyo To You: Live in Japan (DVD)
Cheap Trick's performances in Japan at the tail end of the 1970s are some of the most infamous in rock. They immortalized their experiences in the Live at Budokan album, providing a great memento of their time in the Far East. 25 years later, in the summer of 2003, the band returned to Japan, and undertook a lengthy tour of the country that had embraced them so fully. This release offers an insight into the touring party, with documentary footage and live performances both vying for viewers attentions.

Pioneers of Primetime (DVD)
The 1940s witnessed the birth of television, and with it a generation of entertainers weaned on the comedy stylings of the vaudeville tradition. While many of the earliest television outings were nothing more than updated versions of vaudeville and radio shows, the 1950s ushered in a golden age that helped the medium come into its own with entirely new genres like sitcoms and talk shows. The PBS documentary PIONEERS OF PRIMETIME offers a historical look at these early days of television with rare clips and footage from groundbreaking programs like THE MILTON BERLE SHOW, THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW, THE JACK BENNY SHOW, THE RED SKELTON SHOW, I LOVE LUCY, and THE HONEYMOONERS, as well as candid interviews with the stars that created them, including Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Steve Allen, Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie, Donald O`Connor, Sammy Davis Jr., and Buddy Ebsen.

Kikaida - Vol. 9 (DVD)
DARK is a sinister organization that launches a wave of audacious attacks in an attempt to gain world domination. Commanded by the evil Professor Gill, masked robots and fearsome Destructoid monsters terrorize innocent victims and wreak havoc throughout Japan. To counteract this menace, Gill's nemesis Dr. Komyoji creates Jiro, a guitar-strumming warrior with the ability to transform into a mighty red-and-blue android known as Kikaida. Vulnerable to Professor Gill's shrill flute wooing him to the DARK side, the heroic Jiro battles the robotic hordes while protecting Komyoji's children Mitsuko and Masaru. The revolutionary Japanese live-action series KIKAIDA made its television debut in 1972 and soon won the hearts of kids and sci-fi fans everywhere--in Hawaii, where it was shown on TV with English subtitles, the show became a cult phenomenon. This ninth volume features episodes 41-45.

Starsky and Hutch (WS/DVD)
Coming off the heels of his hilarious college romp OLD SCHOOL, director Todd Phillips returns with a film that mocks the television cop dramas of the 1970s. Based on the crime-fighting television series of the same name, STARSKY& HUTCH follows the exploits of two west coast detectives. David Starsky (Ben Stiller) is a by-the-books officer who would like nothing more than to expose his partner Hutch's bouts of inconsistency. Ken Hutch Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) is a far more open-minded spirit with a tendency for meandering. Added to the mix is the world's coolest informant, Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg), who wears an endless parade of stylish outfits. Starsky and Hutch's rival is the charming yet brutal Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn), a maniacal drug lord with an absurd moustache who is prone to dramatic outbursts. Phillips uses freeze frames and slow-motion to up the comic ante, while Stiller and Wilson prove that they are a truly compatible duo, and, finally, Will Ferrell makes yet another scene-stealing...

The Dame Edna Experience - The Complete Series Two (DVD)
Truly original and utterly hilarious, British television series The Dame Edna Experience parodied the talk show genre through the outrageous antics of British comedian Barry Humphries and his fast-talking, purple-haired alter ego Dame Edna Everage. With scathing wit and the occasional use of an ejector seat, Dame Edna gleefully skewered celebrity guests such as Sean Connery, Charlton Heston, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Liza Minnelli, Lauren Bacall, Jane Fonda, and Joan Rivers. This 2-volume box set includes every episode of the pioneering series' second season.
