In Newsradio, Dave Foley stars as Dave Nelson, a farm-fresh Wisconsinite who leaves the land of cheese for the Big Apple. He lands a new job as news director at an all news radio station run by meddling owner Jimmy James (Stephen Root). Vicki Lewis plays a flighty, hyper/hip character who dresses like Madonna. Neurotic Matthew (Andy Dick) obsesses about life in every episode. Jon Lovitz joins the cast this season as Max Louis after the unexpected death of Bill McNeal (Phil Hartman). The ensemble cast is incredible and a joy to watch. Picture and sound are outstanding. Newsradio is a must own for any fan of raw comedy.

The Jeffersons was a breakthrough series that was the first show to feature a well to do African American family living in luxury. In the sixth season, the shor remained fresh due to the wit of the series developer Norman Lear. Sherman Hemsley shines as George Jefferson and Isabel Sanford stars as his wife Louise.

Richard Attenborough’s award-winning epic recounts the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi. In South Africa, a young Indian lawyer is booted off a train for refusing to ride second-class. Fed up with the unjust political system, he joins the Indian Congress Party, which encourages social change through passive resistance. When his “subversive” activities land him in jail, masses of low-skilled workers strike to support his non-violent yet revolutionary position. Back in India, Gandhi renounces the Western way of life and struggles to organize Indian labor against British colonialism. A strike costs many British soldiers their lives, so the crown responds by slaughtering 1,500 Indians. Enraged, the ascetic, spiritual leader continues to preach pacifism until he has lead India out from under the tyranny of British imperialism. This critical masterpiece was the winner of the coveted Best Picture Oscar, and justifiably so. This is one of the best pictures of the decade and is a must own for any film collector.

This collection presents all 22 episodes of the family drama’s fourth season, which includes guest appearances by Lance Bass, Ed Begley Jr., Peter Graves, John Salley, Kurt Rambis, and A.C. Green.
