To wit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> The release date for the second season of <i>Six Feet Under<\/i> was pushed back to July 6. Grrrr. I don&#8217;t have HBO, so I haven&#8217;t seen anything past season one.\n<li> <i>Star Trek Voyager<\/i> Season 3 comes out on July 6, with Season 4 coming out on Aug 3. I&#8217;m waiting for Season 5, which has <i>Timeless<\/i>, the episode where Garrett Wang flashes the sexy.\n<li> <i>Boomtown<\/i> Season 1 hits stores on July 20. I would have thought they could fit the entire series in one set? Season 2 consists only of six episodes.\n<li> <i>Homicide<\/i> Season 5 arrives Aug 24. I haven&#8217;t even bought Season 4, let alone finished watching Season 3. Arrgh!\n<li> In a strange twist, the next set of <i>Law and Order<\/i> DVDs to hit stores in September will be the most recent seasons. In this case, season 14 for <i>L&amp;O: TOS<\/i>, season 5 for <i>L&amp;O: SVU<\/i> and season 3 for <i>L&amp;O: CI<\/i>.\n<p>Of the three, I&#8217;d probably spend cash on the SVU season 5 set before the others. BD Wong is guaranteed to be on it. And however much I&#8217;d love a DVD set with Jesse L. Martin on it, I&#8217;m not inclined to drop money on a set with the FemmeBot on it. Elisabeth R&ouml;hm doesn&#8217;t suck as much as she did when she first started out, but she&#8217;s no Jill Hennessey. Hell, she&#8217;s not even Carrie Lowell.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During Memorial Day weekend, Bravo aired a <i>West Wing<\/i> marathon, and it made me want to buy the second season on DVD. A copy had been sitting on the shelf at the store the entire weekend, but when I went to buy it the following day, someone had beat me to the punch.<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry &#8212; it was restocked later in the week, and I spent Friday night watching the extras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve said it time again: I&#8217;m not a movie person, but television is my drug of choice.
