Distinguishing itself from other variety shows of its time, THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR alternated hosts from week to week. When this big-budget show first aired in 1950, the original hosts were Fred Allen, Eddie Cantor, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. Appearing on the show at least once a month, regulars Martin and Lewis took turns with drop-in hosts like Phil Silvers, and Ray Bolger. Through subsequent seasons, Donald O`Connor, Budd Abbot, and Lou Costello became regulars as well. Hosting for only one season were big name comedians Bob Hope and Jimmy Durante. By the show`s last episode in 1955, only Martin and Lewis remained. Outlasting everyone else, it was these two that really made the show what it was. This set includes some of their best comedic and musical performances in five episodes. Special guests include Polly Bergen, Bob Fosse, and Dorothy Dandridge among others.

The second of two spinoffs launched by the hugely popular television series CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, CSI: NEW YORK distinguishes itself with an even darker, grittier tone than either of its predecessors by grounding the action in the gloomy aftermath of post-9/11 New York. The always brilliant Gary Sinise anchors the series as sternly professional former-Marine police detective Mac Taylor, whose stoic exterior masks the pain of losing his wife in the World Trade Center attacks. Taylor`s forensics team includes his tough-as-nails partner, Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes); the sexy but street-smart investigator Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito); no-nonsense tough guy Don Flack (Eddie Cahill); smart-aleck detective Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo); and the briskly efficient coroner, Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper). Bathed in somber, blue-tinged cinematography, the spinoff emphasizes well-drawn character development without sacrificing any of the grisly criminal and scientific elements that made its parent show such a smashing success. This collection presents every episode from the series` debut season.

Showtime`s hit show QUEER AS FOLK has sparked a great deal of controversy, both for centering a show entirely around gay men, and for the subsequent portrayals of those men. Brian Kinney is the figure around whom the homosexual residents of a gay neighborhood in Pittsburgh coalesce. In SEASON FOUR, Brian`s relationship with Justin is strectched to its limits, but also matures at the same time. Michael and Ben, another couple on the show, have to deal with Ben`s sickness as well as the success of Michael`s comic book featuring a gay superhero. Finally, Melanie and Lindsay face a threat to their relationship when Lindsay begins experimenting with her sexuality. QUEER AS FOLK: SEASON FOUR continues the acclaimed melodrama by maintaining its psychological exploration of the characters, and the many facets of the gay lifestyle.
