The show is primarily a showcase for popular British actor Leonard Rossiter, who is quite good as the Walter Mitty daydreamer who tries to fulfill his fantasies but always finds new problems that resemble the old. Despite being made in the mid-1970s, the satire of humdrum modern society still rings true.
Extras: full frame, 21 episodes, reunion Christmas-themed skit from "The Funny Side of Christmas (1982), featurette
"McLeod's Daughters: The Complete Eighth Season" (E1, 2008, six discs, $59.98). This Australian "Western" soap opera (think "Dallas," only not as mean-spirited) started out with a pair of estranged sisters recruiting other women to run the family-owned cattle ranch — but the two sisters are long gone now. Still, if you've kept up with the show and the current characters, you'll enjoy seeing how it all wraps up.
Extras: widescreen, 22 episodes, featurettes
"Inside the Meltdown" (PBS, 2009, $24.99). This hour-long "Frontline" documentary explores Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and AIG prior to and after the $700 billion bailout, looking for answers to how it might have been stopped and what to do in the future.
Extras: widescreen
