* Born Free - The Complete Collection (Mill Creek)
$19.98 SRP DVD
Born Free Collection
-----A franchise collection based on the classic film BORN FREE including the 1966 original BORN FREE, 1972 sequel LIVING FREE, 1974 TV series BORN FREE: THE SERIES, and the 1996 TV movie BORN FREE: A NEW ADVENTURE. In 1960, a book written about raising an orphaned lion cub named Elsa and then releasing her back into the wild became a worldwide bestseller. Born Free was a game changer that essentially altered the way we perceive relationships between humans and animals. Because of the emotional bond George and Joy Adamson formed with Elsa, lions could no longer be dismissed simply as brutal killers to be shot while on safari. Elsa became an individual in the eyes of the world, and her story made her a symbol for all animals' right to live free. Hollywood took the story to the next level with the 1966 release of the film based on the book, starring real-life husband and wife Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna.

$34.99 SRP DVD
Police Story: Season Three
-----Created by ex-cop-turned-acclaimed author Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field), Police Story follows the lives of LAPD officers in an anthology of realistic and gritty accounts of what it meant to carry a badge in 1970s Los Angeles. The hit series became a major influence on many critically acclaimed shows that followed, including Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life On The Street. Eschewing the more simplistic, "good guys versus bad guys" approach often seen in its predecessors and contemporaries, Police Story examined this familiar genre through a complex lens. Presenting its characters as multidimensional, fallible, and very human, the series offered dramatic insight into the true nature of police work. Featuring an array of notable guest stars - including Kurt Russell, Dick Butkus, Chuck Connors, Cleavon Little, Stella Stevens, Sal Mineo, Cindy Williams, Danny Bonaduce, Robert Forster, Bernie Casey, Edgar Bergen, Robert Stack, George Hamilton, Dabney Coleman, Dean Stockwell, and Sylvester Stallone - Police Story's third season continues the series' legacy of powerful and thought-provoking drama. All 22 Original Episodes from 1975-76. Product note: The episodes on this set were sourced from the best surviving video masters of Police Story: Season Three.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this title, when originally announced in early May, was scheduled for release on August 21st. Shout! Factory has since delayed the title's street date until September 25th.

$39.99 SRP DVD
Blondie - The Complete 1957 Television Series
-----Newly transferred from original 35mm elements, and virtually unseen for over 60 years, Blondie - The Complete 1957 Television Series makes its home video debut with all 26 sparklingly sharp episodes in this 4-disc DVD set. Still read today in over 2,000 newspapers across 55 countries, cartoonist Chic Young brought carefree flapper Blondie Boopadoop and her boyfriend Dagwood Bumstead to "the funny papers" in 1930. But it wasn't until the two of them tied the knot three years later that Blondie became one of the most popular comics in the history of the medium. The success of the strip spawned one of the longest-running franchises in the Golden Age of Cinema with 28 features produced by Columbia between 1938 and 1950 -- all starring Penny Singleton (Blondie) and Arthur Lake (Dagwood). In 1957, legendary Hal Roach Studios brought the comic strip couple to the small screen with Pamela Britton as Blondie and Lake reprising his role as Dagwood...a role he seemed born to play. A delightful 1950s sitcom that perfectly captures the jovial domestic spirit of the strip, Blondie also stars Stuffy Singer and Ann Barnes as the Bumstead children (Alexander, formerly Baby Dumpling, and Cookie). It also features Florenz Ames as J.C. Dithers, Dagwood's autocratic boss and Harold "The Great Gildersleeve" Peary as Dagwood's friendly nemesis Herb Woodley. Character great Elvia Allman is also part of the fun, with guest appearances by Alan Mowbray, Frank Nelson, Barbara Nichols, Gregg Palmer, Alan Reed, William Schallert, Fritz Feld and many more!

-----A franchise collection based on the classic film BORN FREE including the 1966 original BORN FREE, 1972 sequel LIVING FREE, 1974 TV series BORN FREE: THE SERIES, and the 1996 TV movie BORN FREE: A NEW ADVENTURE. In 1960, a book written about raising an orphaned lion cub named Elsa and then releasing her back into the wild became a worldwide bestseller. Born Free was a game changer that essentially altered the way we perceive relationships between humans and animals. Because of the emotional bond George and Joy Adamson formed with Elsa, lions could no longer be dismissed simply as brutal killers to be shot while on safari. Elsa became an individual in the eyes of the world, and her story made her a symbol for all animals’ right to live free. Hollywood took the story to the next level with the 1966 release of the film based on the book, starring real-life husband and wife Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna.

Recently disbarred lawyer Jeff Winger enrolls to get a legit degree the quickest and easiest way possible, but when he starts a fake Spanish study group solely for the purpose of hooking up with a sexy classmate, he doesn’t expect to be joined by a random group of misfit fellow students. Over the course of the next 6 years, this group finds themselves involved in epic paintball battles, chicken finger conspiracies, sci-fi conventions, campus-wide pillow wars, and everything in-between. In the process, they become so much more than just a study group...they become a family.
