We've got a stupendous 30 announcements of TV-on-DVD/BD titles to fill y'all in about, and box art for every dang one of these items. And if you're wondering why the regional dialect, it's in honor of new Gunsmoke releases with Matt Dillon, Doc, and Miss Kitty. :)
PLEASE remember, as always, that if we haven't already posted news about a DVD title you are waiting for, then we simply DO NOT have any info about it yet; sorry.
For those of you who've missed the monthly calendar of titles that TV Shows On DVD used to have at our old website: MetaCritic has a similar monthly list, with both TV & Movie releases (full disclosure: TV Shows On DVD and MetaCritic are both owned by CBS Interactive). Here's a link to MetaCritic's home page for their DVD release calendars:
