Anyone who enjoyed the SEINFELD episode where Kramer set up a talk show set from the MERV GRIFFIN SHOW in his apartment, and invited various
guests
to come on the
show
should find something to enjoy in BBC comedy THE KUMARS AT NUMBER 42. The Kumars are an Indian family who live together in North London, and have hit on an ingenious idea to make their lives more interesting. Clearing out their back garden, they have built an impressive TV studio, in which they host their own talk show. Sanjeev (Sanjeev Bhaskar) is the son of the family, and the host of the show. But he has to contend with the constant interruptions from mom, Madhuri (Indira Joshi); dad, Ashwin (Vincent Ebrahim); and grandmother, Sushil (Meera Syal), who all reside on a couch in the studio. Comedic mayhem ensues as Sanjeev`s flow is constantly halted by his cantankerous relatives in the six episodes included here.

One of a spate of urban sitcoms to emerge in the 1970s, WHAT`S HAPPENING was based on the 1975 film COOLEY HIGH, and followed three black teens into early adulthood. Roger
Raj
Thomas (Ernest Thomas) was a studious young man with a bratty sister, Dee (Danielle Spencer); the siblings lived with their mother Mabel
Mama
Thomas (Mabel King), in a lower-middle class Chicago home. Raj was most often hanging out with his friends Freddie
Rerun
Stubbs (Fred Berry)--so dubbed for his propensity to repeat classes--and Dwayne Nelson (Haywood Nelson), a somewhat dim young man with a nonetheless active imagination. The three were forever executing ill-advised schemes to either get rich, have fun, or some combination of the two, while little Dee was forever telling on them. The third and final season sees an end to Mama`s character, and Shirley, the waitress at the boys` hangout, Rob`s Place, has moved into the Thomas household. Meanwhile, Raj and Rerun have graduated high school and moved into an apartment of their own. Over the course of the season, Raj gets a job as a nude artist`s model, the boys try to navigate the myriad challenges of living together, and Dee is accused of shoplifting.

Jack Klugman (who received four Emmy nominations in the role) stars as the grumpy but righteous QUINCY, M.E. In this predecessor to other television programs like CSI or CROSSING JORDAN, Quincy works for the Los Angeles coroner's department, where he is charged with performing autopsies and running other medical tests relating to criminal investigations. However, he's no regular doctor, for his brilliance often allows him to spy clues that detectives and other examiners have overlooked, leading him to examine cases further. QUINCY took the suspense and mystery of other crime shows and spun it by having the investigation begin with forensics evidence, and took a step further by exploring difficult social issues and taboos. QUINCY, M.E.: SEASONS ONE AND TWO features the first 17 episodes of the landmark program, with guest stars such as June Lockhart, Van Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, and many others.DVD Features:Region 1Slim Snap Cases With Out BoxFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - English
