Its high-camp rendition of B-movies from every genre to the small screen makes it one of the most memorable pop culture shows of our time. Brimming with laugh-out-loud commentaries from caustically hilarious space travelers Joel Robinson, Mike Nelson and their robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, MST3K was a genuine phenomenon. Its popularity spawned an MST3K fan following that numbers over hundreds of thousands of fans world-wide.

Factory proudly presents its MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: 20th Anniversary Edition DVD box set on October 28, 2008.

The MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: 20th Anniversary Edition DVD box set is the first of a series of DVD box set from Shout! Factory, in association with Best Brains,Inc.

FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS
In the 1960 sci-fi thriller First Spaceship On Venus, a mysterious magnetic spool found during a construction project is discovered to have originated from Venus. A rocket expedition to the mysterious cloudy planet is launched to discover the origin of the spool and the alien race that created it.

LASERBLAST
In 1978’s Laserblast, young actor Kim Milford plays an ostracized teenager who stumbles upon the remains of murdered mutated alien in the California desert. Along with the alien’s remains, a high-tech laser gun and power source are accidentally left behind by the extraterrestrial murderers. While examining the equipment, the teen inadvertently mutates himself with a laserblast, and embarks upon a murderous rampage.

WEREWOLF
1996 horror flick Werewolf begins with an archeological dig in an Arizona quarry. The Native Americans at the dig site recognize an unearthed skeleton as the remains of a werewolf, yet the team of archeologists are skeptical. When a dig assistant becomes infected and transforms into a werewolf, the ambitious team leader begins a horrific experiment, infecting the oblivious townspeople with the werewolf virus.

FUTURE WAR
In 1997’s action-packed Future War, a race of evil cyborgs kidnap humans from Earth’s future to use as slaves, and take dinosaurs from the past to use as trackers. A determined slave, the “Runaway”, escapes and makes his way to present-day Los Angeles. There he must fend off the cyborgs and their trackers, the police, and the government, befriended by a prostitute-turned-nun who runs a halfway house.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 series was created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains, Inc. After a year on KTMA TV in Minneapolis, its national broadcast life began in 1989 on the Comedy Channel (later to become Comedy Central), where it ran for seven seasons. The show’s final three seasons aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. The premise of the series features a hapless man who is trapped by mad scientists on a satellite in space and forced to watch old B-movies of questionable worth. To keep sane, he’s built two robot sidekicks, and together they do a running commentary on the films, affectionately mocking their flaws with inspired wisecracks and acting as a demented movie theater peanut gallery. Series creator Hodgson originally played the stranded man, Joel Robinson. When he left in 1993, series head writer Mike Nelson replaced him as the new B-movie victim Mike Nelson, and continued in the role for the rest of the show’s run. The format proved to be popular. During its eleven years and 198 episodes (including one feature film), MST3K attained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. The series won a Peabody Award in 1993, and was nominated for writing Emmys® in 1994 and 1995.

Warner Home Video Finally Brings Your Favorite Crime Fighting Trio to DVD

The wait is over! Birds of Prey, the hit WB show and the #5 most requested unreleased show on TVShowsOnDVD.com, will finally make it to DVD. Three young female heroines will be fighting together, living together, and soaring into adventure together when Warner Home Video’s (WHV) releases of Birds of Prey: The Complete Series on July 29, 2008 for $39.98 SRP.

Fall TV on DVD


With the Writer's Strike cutting last season short, there's an easy way to get caught up on all your favorite shows (and pick some new favorites) as several of last season's hits find their way to DVD. Relieve every laugh, every tear, every "oh no they didn't" moment before new episodes find their way into our hearts.

Who is Samantha on Samantha Who? She Wishes She Knew!

ABC can boast one of the few breakouts hits of last season with the incredibly funny series called “Samantha Who?.” “Samantha Newly’s” life is changed forever when a car accident leaves her in an eight day coma. She awakes to find that she has amnesia and remembers nothing from her life prior to the accident. In her case, this is probably a good thing considering she wasn’t that nice of a person.

Though her parents, ex-boyfriend, and two (yes she only had two) friends try their best to help her remember, Samantha is forging ahead with the present and future, while trying to fill in the blanks from her past. Putting the pieces together lands Sam and company into some awkward and hysterical situations.

Christina Applegate who made a lasting impression on television viewers as the wild, dim-witted teenager “Kelly Bundy” on “Married With Children” has returned home to television and makes this character believable and fun to watch. Rounding out the cast with other TV vets such as Jean Smart (“Designing Women”) and Barry Watson (“7th Heaven”) makes “Samantha Who?” a show worthy of your time investment.

The first season of the series is now available on DVD and you can laugh out loud with the rest of the show’s viewers. The set also includes deleted scenes and bloopers.

Preview a couple of the funny moments below…







You can pick up the first season at most retail outlets or you can order it online here…
Samantha Who?: The Complete First Season

Be sure to watch brand new episodes of "Samantha Who?" Monday nights at 9:30PM on ABC (right after "Dancing With The Stars") beginning October 13!

More laughs! More Heart-felt Moments! It's Just Bettyer! The Second Season of "Ugly Betty" Arrives on DVD!

America Ferrera won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of "Betty Suarez" on the ABC smash hit "Ugly Betty." You can find out why critics and viewers are raving about this amazing role and the ensemble cast that help bring such a loveable character to life by checking out the second season of the series that is now on DVD.

Betty may not be a fashionista like her co-workers at the fashion magazine "Mode," but she shows up every day for work and tries her best to make things run smoothly at the office. It just seems like the more she tries, the more she screws things up. Her family life isn't much easier. Taking care of her Dad, older sister Hilda and nephew Justin keep her on her toes. And then there is her love life. This season finds Betty torn between two suitors. There's the sweet, accountant, Henry, who's almost perfect. Well, except for that pesky pregnant, ex-girlfriend. And then there's Gio, the sandwich seller with a little more edge. There are 18 fun-filled episodes that will tell you the whole story.

For a quick look at what the series offers, check out the clip below.



Extras on the five-disc collection include a tour of the "Betty" sets conducted by "Marc" and "Amanda." You'll also see scenes that didn't make it on the air. And the cast will introduce some of their favorite bloopers.

To get in on all the laughs, pick up the second season on DVD! You can find the set at most places DVD's are sold or you can order on-line by clicking here... Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season

Be sure to tune in to the third season of Ugly Betty when it premieres, September 25 at 8:00PM on ABC!

CHUCK: The Complete First Season

Looks can be deceiving, so if you run into Chuck Bartowski while shopping for appliances at your local Buy More (think Best Buy), don't automatically assume he's just your average, computer geek, punching a time clock for the discount and then heading home to his parent's house to play video games (technically, he lives with his sister). No, thanks to his former college roommate who just happens to work undercover for the CIA, Chuck now solely possesses important government information, which is lodged in his brain. Against his better judgment he must go on top secret missions with his beautiful protector Sarah, and the somewhat harsh agent John Casey, all the while maintaining his normal existence so no one uncovers his secret.

The show is well-casted starring Zachary Levi as Chuck, Yvonne Strahovski as Sarah and Adam Baldwin as Casey. Though the premise is a stretch, the show manages to make it extremely believable with great plots and heart-warming moments between characters.

This set includes the pilot, plus thirteen additional episodes. Bonus features include a behind the scenes look at casting the show, a gag reel and a talk with a few of the stars and creators.

The DVD hits shelves on September 16 in time for the second season premiere on NBC (September 28), or you can order it here: Chuck: The Complete First Season

Gossip Girl: The Complete First Season

It's no secret that one of the most talked about shows of last season was the CW's "Gossip Girl." It made overnight stars out of its brilliant cast Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen, Penn Badgely, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick. Parents were outraged over its racy content and no-holds-barred look at Manhattan's richest teens. Young adults and even a slightly older crowd couldn't get enough of the backstabbing bonding that makes the show so enjoyable to watch. If this show doesn't make you appreciate your circle of friends, nothing will.

The show is based on the best-selling books by Cecily von Ziegesar and follows the lives of six main characters (and their equally messed up parents). The first season sets up a world where best friends struggle to rule the school that they attend and find the love of their lives. Viewers would think that having an unlimited amount of money would make life easier, but it just compounds already complicated problems. In the age of technology where gossip spreads faster than Wildfire, it takes all of each character's energy to stay ahead of the game.

Now you can enjoy every juicy moment over and over again or experience the pop culture phenomenon for the very first time as "Gossip Girl: The Complete First Season" comes to DVD. The pilot plus 17 additional episodes are together in this set for easy viewing. Bonus features include behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the show, interviews with cast members, music videos, a blooper reel, and a downloadable audio book of the original novel Gossip Girl: A Novel, read by Christina Ricci.

You can find this set at most DVD retail outlets after August 19 or you can order it here: Gossip Girl: The Complete First Season

Tune into the CW on September 1 for the premiere of the second season of this new hit!

Move Over Peter Pan… Your Sidekick Tinker Bell has her Own Movie Now! Walt Disney's "Tinker Bell" Comes to DVD!

Hidden deep in the woods of Never Land is a magical place called Pixie Hollow. Way before Tinker Bell was frolicking with Peter and the Lost Boys, she had a posse of her own. Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta and Silvermist joined Tinker Bell in friendship and sometimes a little bit of mischief.

Walt Disney's new movie "Tinker Bell" takes us on a magical journey through a land we never knew existed! In Pixie Hollow every fairy has their own special talent. Tinker Bell doesn’t feel special enough because her talent does not allow her to go to the mainland like the others. Setting out to change herself proves to be disastrous as she learns that things only go smoothly when everyone works together and collaborates by doing what they do best.

For the first time ever, audiences will get to hear Tinker Bell speak (she’s voiced by Mae Whitman), and some of today’s best actors voice her fairy friends. America Ferrera, Raven Symone, Kristin Chenoweth, and Lucy Liu can all be heard as residents of Pixie Hollow. Singer/songwriter, Jesse McCartney plays the part of “Terence,” keeper of the pixie dust and Anjelica Huston is the voice of “Queen Clarion.”

Watch the cast talk about talking below!



Bonus features on the disc include a behind the scenes making of featurette and fun-filled games for the whole family. You can find this DVD at most places electronics are sold or you can order it on-line here

No Maybe About it! "Definitely, Maybe" is an Enjoyable Romantic Comedy!

When his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) starts hounding him about how he met her mother, ad executive Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) turns the story into a guessing game. He tells Maya about three past relationships while she tries to figure out which woman ultimately turned into her Mom.

The possibilities include Will's first love, Emily (Elizabeth Banks), who he had dated in college, but grew apart from when he moved to New York City to work for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. It was there he met April, the second potential candidate (played by Isla Fisher). She's more of a free spirit who loves to travel and read and sees Will as more of a friend. Then there is Summer (Rachel Weisz), a beautiful and smart writer who enjoys Will's passion for debate and academia.

Because the relationship with her mother isn't working out and the couple is divorcing, telling the story brings both Maya and Will great understanding about why the love didn't last. Maybe, just maybe, true love is still out there and both Maya and Will think they know who he should revisit.

The cast does a superb job of telling this cute story! Bonus features on the DVD include deleted scenes, a behind the scenes look at the making of the movie called "Creating a Romance," another behind the scenes look at how the crew re-created the past and commentary by Ryan Reynolds and director, Adam Brooks.

Disney Spellbinds us Again With "Enchanted!"

Our only question about "Enchanted" is� what took Disney so long to come up with this brilliant idea? The movie starts in classic Disney animated style as we meet "Giselle," who lives in the cartoon world of "Andalasia." Longing for a love of her own, "Giselle" is smitten when she meets "Prince Edward." The two decide instantly that this is true love and they should marry right away.

The only one not happy about their union is Edward's step-mother "Queen Narissa. " If Edward marries, Narissa will have to forfeit her crown to Edward and his bride. Narissa casts and spell and sends Giselle far, far away� to real life, modern day, New York City.

Giselle must navigate this new, live-action world on her own and quickly learn that "real" humans aren't always so nice. Lucky for her, she soon meets a charming, single Dad named Robert (played by Patrick Dempsey) and his daughter who agree to help her find her way home. They just have no clue as to how far away her home lies.

Prince Edward finds out that Giselle is missing and starts out to find her. He takes a resourceful chipmunk named "Pip" with him but they soon find out that while Pip can talk in "Andalasia," chipmunks don't talk in New York City. Narissa also sends her henchman, Nathaniel to guide Edward in the wrong direction.

Nothing can keep true love apart, so when Edward and Giselle are finally reunited, Narissa decides she must go to New York to stop the happy couple herself. (The amazing Susan Sarandon brings her to "real life")By this point, however, Giselle has been spending a lot of time with Robert and his daughter. Is Giselle's true happiness really back in "Andalasia" or is it in this new world? You'll just have to watch this fun fantasy to see.

"Beowulf:" A Classic Story Becomes a Ground Breaking Movie

What started out as an epic poem has now been transformed into an extraordinary movie experience. "Beowulf" is the story of a kingdom that is being terrorized by an evil monster. A courageous warrior named "Beowulf" comes to the kingdom's aide but is swayed by the monster's mother (played by Angelina Jolie).

This version of the film used motion-capture technology like they used in "The Polar Express." It's an interesting way to combine real life with animation. It proves to be a suitable tool for bringing this particular story to the big screen. This is especially true during the amazing battle sequences that would have been difficult to stage with real actors fighting mythical creatures.

This film also "stars" Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Robin Wright Penn and John Malkovich. Bonus features including a making of featurette called "A Hero's Journey: The Making of Beowulf."

Nothing Much Stronger Than "Family Ties: The Third Season"

"Family Ties" first debuted in the '80's but through the ingenious invention of television on DVD, this beloved classic can be enjoyed any hour of any day. First the series got rave reviews for its amazing cast and humorous writing, but now is probably most remembered as the series that made Michael J. Fox a star.

The early reviews were right. Starring Meredith Baxter Birney, Michael Gross, Michael J. Fox, Justine Bateman and Tina Yothers as the Keaton family, millions of viewers tuned in each week to see what kind of trouble the kids or the parents were going to get in to and how the rest of the family was going to get them out of it. With the premise being parents from a "Hippie" background raising three very different children, there was constant clashing of opinions and values just like the audience's family.

Season Three brought the arrival of a new edition to the family. Baby Andy arrived just as Alex was starting college. Twenty four hilarious episodes make up this collection. Topics of the episodes show a range from incredibly serious (Alex working at a hotline where a caller is contemplating suicide) to just funny (Mallory getting locked in a basement with Alex's "nerdy" friend Skippy). Every episode however, provides plenty of laughs.

"Becoming Jane" Is a Beautiful Story About a Beautiful Story-Teller

Audiences have been reading Jane Austen's novels for over one hundred and fifty years now but who knew that her own life story could make such a beautiful movie? Now "Becoming Jane" has come to DVD and if you missed this one in the theaters, you should really add this well-made movie to your home video collection.

Anne Hathaway who charmed us in the "Princess Diaries" and went head to head with Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" does an amazing job of bringing one our most beloved authors to life. The story takes us back to the late 1700's where women were supposed to be seen and not so much heard. It was especially restricting for Jane Austen, a bright twenty year old who loved to read and write.

Jane's life is complicated when she meets Tom Lefroy, (the amazingly talented James McAvoy) a cocky lawyer in training who initially dismisses her writing because he feels that she has no experiences to embellish on paper. After as much interaction between a man and a woman as the times would allow, the two fall in love.

The relationship does not sit well with Jane's family who want their daughter to marry the somewhat drab Mr. Wisley, a gentleman who stands to inherit a fortune and prime real estate. Jane's torn between following her heart or marrying for the sake of helping her family.

Austen fans will enjoy a glimpse into the life of the author and will recognize several characters and situations from her real life that found their way into her most popular novels. This is movie is a most see for the hopeless romantic in all of us.

Bonus features on the DVD include "Discovering the Real Jane Austen" (a look into the life of the author), deleted scenes, and audio commentary by a few of the filmmakers. It's available where most DVD's are sold or CLICK HERE TO ORDER!!!!

Double the Fun in "Twitches Too!"

Your favorite Disney Channel twins, Tia and Tamera Mowry, (we loved them in "Sister, Sister") are back for a second installment of the Disney Channel Original Film, "Twitches."

The girls have set out to find their birth mother, a witch named Miranda but something doesn't want them to succeed. An evil presence is threatening the girls and their family and only when their powers are combined can they stop the evil force.
