Extras: Widescreen, 23 episodes, audio commentaries (on select episodes with cast and crew), making-of featurettes, photo gallery, chapters.

"Star Trek Enterprise" (Paramount, 2001-02, not rated, $129.99, seven discs). This final entry in the multiple "Star Trek" series (well, until the next one) was a bit of a disappointment for fans and critics, but this first season is pretty good — set 100 years prior to Capt. Kirk and the gang in the original show. Scott Bakula stars, and Jolene Blalock is this show's Vulcan. As fans expect, there are also plenty of bonus features.

Extras: Widescreen, 25 episodes, audio commentary (on premiere episode), text commentary (on three episodes), making-of featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes, bloopers, chapters.

"Have Gun — Will Travel: The Complete Second Season" (CBS/Paramount, 1968-59, not rated, b/w, $44.99, six discs). More half-hour black-and-white Western adventures with Richard Boone excellent as Paladin, an Old West gunslinger with compassion. This second season boasts some top-notch guest stars — Vincent Price, Suzanne Pleshette, Charles Bronson, Harry Morgan, Morey Amsterdam, Lon Chaney Jr., etc.

Extras: Full frame, 39 episodes, text information on stars and various episodes.

"The Carol Burnett Show: Let's Bump Up the Lights" (CBS/Paramount, 2004, not rated, $19.99). In front of a live audience, Burnett, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner sit around in director's chairs and reminisce about the 11-season variety show and offer more clips and bloopers in this follow-up to the 2001 special "Showstoppers." Great fun for fans of the show.

Extras: Full Frame, chapters.

"Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines: The Complete Series" (Warner, 1969, not rated, $34.98, three discs). This is Hanna-Barbera's spinoff series from "Wacky Races," with Dick Dastardly (Paul Winchell, perhaps best known as the voice of Tigger in Disney's early "Winnie the Pooh" cartoons), who flies a World War I plane, and his co-pilot, a dog named Muttley (voiced by Don Messick, who also did Scooby-Doo).

Extras: Full frame, 17 episodes, audio commentaries (on two episodes), making-of featurette, language and subtitle options (English, French, Spanish), chapters.

"The Perils of Penelope Pitstop: The Complete Series" (Warner, 1969, not rated, $34.98, three discs). Paul Lynde provides the chief villain's voice here, as Penelope Pitstop marks another spinoff of "Wacky Races." She's a feisty heroine in stylish go-go boots, pursued by Sylvester Sneekly (alias the Hooded Claw).
