|  #1 Posted on 16.12.11 1420.22 | Instant Rating: 9.39 | Welcome to the dead times. DVD makers have this crazy theory that releasing stuff RIGHT before Christmas tends not to sell very well, so they don't schedule stuff this week - or they schedule it and it mysteriously goes "unavailable" by the time I compile this list. (There are over fifty titles which you WON'T see because Amazon has marked them "unavailable" - and that may go up by Monday!)
What we DO have are 59 DVDs, 27 Blu-rays and five "digital" releases...and there ARE some big titles in here, so don't just take the week off. JOIN US
PICK OF THE WEEK
Futurama: Volume 6 (The W at Amazon) (Comedy Central, 2011)  A season so memorable nobody talked about it here: 
Futurama 6 [Blu-ray]
THE REST OF THE TV OF THE WEEK
One Tree Hill: The Complete Eighth Season (+ UltraViolet Digital Copy) (The CW, 2010-1) This is actually selling better than "Futurama" this week. I'm going to hope it's because there are both a DVD and Blu-ray version of "Futurama" and not that the DVD purchasing public is so heavy into "One Tree Hill" ...because that's what will get me through the night.
The Franchise: Season 1 (The Franchise: A Season with the San Francisco Giants - Showtime, 2011) (Rescheduled from last week)
The Donna Reed Show: Season 4 - The Lost Episodes (ABC, 1961-2) More info on this 5 DVD set at MPI (mpihomevideo.com)
Prehistoric: Predators Of The Past (Discovery)
NY Ink (TLC, 2011)
MEXICAN TV OF THE WEEK
Triunfo Del Amor (Televisa, 2010-1)  telenovela
AND FINALLY, "60 MINUTES" OF THE WEEK
60 Minutes - Hard Times Generation (DVD-R)
60 Minutes - The Flavorists (DVD-R)
60 Minutes - Angelina Or watch the entire 11/27 episode online for free at 60 Minutes (cbsnews.com) (DVD-R)

Saint Nick (Sint) was pretty good. It's certainly not gonna win any awards or anything like that, but if you wanna see a decent horror film about Christmas, this is good for a look. Make a movie night out of it and watch last years Rare Exports as well.
