DVD Review: Detailed Featurettes Round Out Set For ‘Blue Bloods: The Second Season’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 19, 2012 - 6:04pmCHICAGO – Honestly, most special features on DVD-only season releases for shows that don’t have gigantic followings are pure filler. They’re typically made up of the talking-head footage that a network uses to sell a show to publicists or advertisers and offer little insight into the series. That’s why it’s nice to see a show like “Blue Bloods,” a modest hit but far from a big one, get some strong supporting material for its diehard fans.
DVD Review: Strong Packages For CBS Dramas ‘Blue Bloods,’ ‘The Good Wife’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 21, 2011 - 7:20pmCHICAGO – CBS’s “Blue Bloods” and “The Good Wife,” both recently released on DVD (first season for the former, second season for the latter), were interesting stories in April of this year as ratings watchdogs expressed concerns that either or both could be canceled despite loyal fan bases. Both were given the reprieve because they have viewers who just won’t give up on them. See why with this stellar pair of releases.

He still has time for Sunday dinner with the family, and he’s inviting TV fans to the table.
Blu-Ray Review: Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher in Narcoleptic ‘Killers’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 16, 2010 - 10:28amCHICAGO – When “Killers” didn’t screen for critics, we assumed that it was because it was an insipid, horrid mess and that Lionsgate didn’t want to let audiences in on that fact before stealing their hard-earned cash. Watching it on Blu-ray, I was surprised that it didn’t screen because it’s not “Marmaduke”- or “Macgruber”-bad. It’s just shockingly boring.
