Long before currently popular mystery/drama programs such as Law and Order and CSI developed into overwhelmingly successful television shows, Perry Mason earned a tremendous amount of respect and notoriety throughout the industry for its quality story lines and witty intellect.

The Untouchables: Season Two, Vol. 2
This television program had the daunting task upon its creation to replicate the spellbinding, epic intensity and passion behind the acting from the timeless movie that chronicled the aspirations of gangbuster Eliot Ness in his attempts to take down the legendary Al Capone.
Though the television series was highly fictionalized, particularly in the characterization of Ness who was considered to have been depicted drastically different on the program in comparison to historical reality, it is still regarded as an entertaining show. largely due to its throw-back nature.
Four discs are contained in the packaging for this upcoming DVD release, scheduled to be made available for purchase on August 26.
Everybody Hates Chris: The Third Season
Everybody Hates Chris was originally viewed as a deceptive success when it first aired and it has since become a critically acclaimed, Emmy nominated comedy television sitcom.
The show revolves around the everyday life of a 15-year-old ninth grader by the name of Chris, whose character is based on the youth of prominent comedian Chris Rock.
He not only faces the everyday problems of going through life as a teenage boy, but he is also an African-American student attending an all-Caucasian school.
Chris has an incredible tendency to endure circumstances that end up backfiring, regardless of how promising they once seemed to be.
This unrated release will reportedly contain over seven-and-a-half hours of footage from the program’s third season and is scheduled to hit stores on August 26.
