You may know that Samuels has a great movie collection, but did you realize we also have a large selection of TV shows available on DVD? Here are a few of the most popular shows you can check out:Ally McBeal
Calista Flockhart became a poster girl for the '90s for her
role as the title character, a young lawyer at a firm in Boston. Ally
McBeal contained a winning mixture of drama, romance, and quirky humor.
Big Bang Theory
Revenge of the Geeks!
Four brilliant but socially awkward scientists meet the beautiful and
bubbly aspiring actress who lives across the hall. The results are hilariously entertaining. Bazinga!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Series creator Joss Whedon, who went from cult figure to
superstar after directing Marvel’s The
Avengers, said he wanted Buffy the
Vampire Slayer to be “high school as a horror movie.” The concept went over well and even led to
the spin-off series Angel.
Call the Midwife
Fans of Downton Abbey
should check out Call the Midwife,
another hit BBC period drama. Set in the
1950s and centering around a group of midwives and nuns working in a lower
class section of London, the show has also gained a large stateside following.
Doc Martin
British comedian and actor Martin Clunes plays Dr. Martin
Ellingham, a spin-off of his character from the movie Saving Grace. Having
relocated from London to the small town of Portwenn, the surly doctor must
adjust to village life.
Downton Abbey
Samuels has all three seasons of the British period drama
that has taken America by storm in the past several years. Downton
Abbey is so addictive, you’ll probably want to binge-watch an entire season
in one marathon session.
Foyle’s War
Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle works on
solving a variety of criminal cases in Hastings, England as World War II rages
at home and on the front. Highly
recommended for mystery lovers.
Game of Thrones
Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy book series, Game of Thrones is currently one of the
most popular shows on television. The
Emmy-winning series has been praised for its complex storylines and
themes.
JAG
Riveting legal drama JAG
(which stands for Judge Advocate General) follows a team of Navy lawyers as
they investigate, prosecute, and defend criminal cases involving military
personnel.
Little House on the Prairie
Looking for something the whole family can enjoy? Look no further than Little House on the Prairie, a show based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s
beloved book series about her upbringing in the Midwest during the late 19thcentury.
Lost
Before directing Mission:
Impossible III, Super 8, and Star
Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams was one of the masterminds behind Lost, a suspenseful series about a group
of plane crash survivors stranded on an island.
Moonlighting
This comedy-drama about two private investigators was
notable for the chemistry between the two leads, Bruce Willis and Cybill
Shepherd. Moonlighting was also Willis’s first hit before he moved on to
movie stardom.
Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under is
marked by the same dark humor as series creator Alan Ball’s Academy
Award-winning American Beauty. The action centers on the dysfunctional Fisher clan as they run the family funeral home business.
Upstairs Downstairs
A precursor to Downton
Abbey. Upstairs Downstairs was a
popular and critically-acclaimed British drama from the 1970s that followed the
interactions between the servants and an upper-class family living in a
townhouse in London.
The Waltons
Another classic for all age groups, The Waltons ran from 1971 to 1981 and was set right here in
Virginia. Viewers were drawn to the
fortitude of the Walton family as they faced hardships during the Great Depression
and World War II.
