New This WWeek

Just in time for planning summer tours, here is the popular PBS travel series on 13 DVD's that, presumably, goes everywhere.
Here's the definitive documentary on the comedy giant – straight from the writer-actor-producer himself. This "American Masters" documentary will be released immediately upon its broadcast on PBS.
This season saw the battle between the Vampire Authority and the "fundamentalists" – a bloody contest, of course, with plenty of werewolves, shape-shifters and faeries to go around.
