CLASSIC TV ON DVD:

Two dynamic series that are winding down in primetime are reliving their glory years on DVD:

ER - The Complete Fourth Season
Was 1998-99 the best season ever of ER? That's for you to decide. This season opened with a stunning live documentary episode
that starts off this six disc set with all 22 episodes of the season included along with a world of extras.

Relive all of the tension and drama that this multiple Emmy-Award winning series is known for (ER received 16 Emmy nominations for this season alone).

Extras include a documentary covering the historic live season opener, an intimate look at the cast after that program aired, deleted scenes and a very funny gag reel. This impressive set will be released in time for Christmas, on December 20, 2005, so it's possible to have it in your hands on the big day if you order now from Amazon. (I hear rumors it's in some stores already.)

ER - Season 6 on DVd ER - Season 6
One of the longest-running and most beloved TV dramas of all time returns for a sixth season on DVD.

What makes ER so popular? Tense writing and pinpoint casting, right down to the guest stars like Alan Alda who pops up this season. That's one of the reasons the show garnered 9 Emmy nominations for this one year alone, considered by many to be the best season of all. The screaming sirens, blood on the floor, unrestrained meds - everything you love ER for is here.

This DVD also contains all 22 episodes on six discs along with two bonuses: deleted scenes and a very funny gag reel.

One of the advantages to purchasing a series like this, with characters you have an emotional investment in, is that you can watch as much of it as you like in a sitting. That, and the fact that you'll have it forever on DVD, to re-watch as much as you like.

No more checking the TV Guide to see when ER airs, only to discover it's the episode you've seen five times already. And think of how handsome it would look on your bookshelf to have the first 6 volumes of ER displayed.

This is a keeper!

West Wing - The Complete Fifth Season
Season four bursts forth with the president's daughter's abduction and ends with a bang (a terrorist's bomb explodes). In between, the administration goes from liberal to conservative and John Goodman is featured more prominently.This was the first season without series creator Aaron Sorkin at the helm (or actor Rob Lowe in attendance); no question this was a turning point for the production. Some say the quality dipped, others contend that this season represents the best in television drama. One thing's for sure - your library will be better for the addition of this handsome collection.

Besides the 22 episodes you'd expect on six discs, take a look at the wide array of extras: a commentary by John Wells and Alex Graves on '7A WF 83429'; commentary by John Wells and Christopher Misiano on 'The Dogs of War'; commentary by Alex Graves, Jessica Yu, and Debora Cahn on 'The Supremes'; a profile of President Bartlett and Martin Sheen; an in-depth look at the episode 'Gaza' and unaired scenes from three episodes. Both ER and West Wing are a great value
