Ricky Gervais, the genius behind The Office, followed up that triumph with the equally funny Extras, the tale of a wanna-be actor and his battle to get something better than a “blink-and-you-missed-me” role. There are plenty of star appearances, including Kate Winslet, David Bowie, Samuel L. Jackson, and Patrick Stewart to name a few. The collection includes the 90-minute series finale which hasn’t been available on DVD until now. If you loved The Office, this is right up your alley with the same kind of uncomfortable, “watch them self destruct in painfully obvious ways” humor. Brilliant.

The Sopranos DVD collection wraps it all up in a nice, neat little package from the first episode that started it all to the maddening conclusion that sent some fans right up the wall. The entire saga of Tony Soprano, his rivals and buddies, plus all those dead bodies. For obsessives of the show, this collection will allow you to shut out family, friends, responsibility, any of those annoying things you have to deal with in real life. Instead, curl up with the 28 discs in this set and…yeah, we’ll say it…fuggedaboudit. We couldn’t resist.

It’s a GearCrave Deal of the Week Two-Fer, starting with Amazon, who just dropped this one on Thursday–50 percent off select television DVDs. There is plenty of lame-o stuff to choose from, but if you are into X-Files, Family Guy, The Unit, Prison Break, or My Name Is Earl, this is the sale for you. This is Crave-worthy because you don’t have to buy any of this for yourself–this is a half-off HOLIDAY sale, so you can get a nice chunk of shopping done and over with. No, YOU don’t like crap like Reba or Everybody Loves Raymond. But SOMEBODY you know does. Or maybe they dig Arrested Development or Harsh Realm? There are four pages of titles, but you’d better hurry, this looks like a “while supplies last” deal. . .Check out Amazon’s Half-Off Television DVD Sale

Stephen King adapted Kingdom Hospital from Lars Von Trier’s original Danish TV series The Kingdom, and for those who got the bug, this was one creepy (and funny) 15 hour chunk of television. It owes a big debt to David Lynch while colliding with ER, but in the right hands that’s never a bad thing. It wouldn’t be autumn without some Stephen King action, 1408 made us think about other creepy haunted places with King’s name on ‘em. Want to see some of the creepiest TV this side of American Idol? This is just as scary, but much more entertaining.
