New Comedy DVDs: Barney Miller, Hustle, The Odd Couple

A trio of worthwhile new comedy DVD boxed sets hit stores today: the classic sitcoms Barney Miller (Season Two) and The Odd Couple (Season Three), as well as the fine and funny British grifter dramedy Hustle (Season Four).

I’ve followed all three series at some point or another in my life, and I’m a fan of each and every one. As a result, I could see myself buying all of them if I had more spare time to watch. I definitely plan on purchasing Hustle, though, one of my favorite TV shows in recent years.

Read on for the details of this week’s new TV on DVD releases.
