Gene Roddenberry's peacetime military series leads TV shows new to DVD this week

“10 Things You Don’t Know About” (History, 2012, two discs, $19.95, 12 episodes). This scandal-mongering show digs up 10 obscure tabloid-style “facts” on Benjamin Franklin, George S. Patton, Adolf Hitler, John F. Kennedy, etc. One episode of dubious “history” is devoted to “The Mormons.”

“Jersey Shore: Season Five: Uncensored” (MTV, 2012, three discs, $26.98, 11 episodes, deleted scenes, featurettes, reunion special). If you’re interested, I don’t have to tell you a thing, except perhaps that “uncensored” means “explicit content.”

“Danny Phantom: Season 2, part 2” (Nickelodeon/Shout! 2005, two discs, $19.93, 13 episodes). Animated show with the title character transforming into a ghostly superhero to battle fiends from another dimension.

“Dinosaur Train: Big, Big, Big” (PBS Kids, 2012, $12.99, nine episodes). Animated show for ages 3-6.
