It is that time of year
once again. The broadcast seasons are
wrapping up and late summer/early fall home entertainment launch dates are
being announced … the new crop, so to speak, heads home.
That was the news this
week from Paramount Home Media with DVD collections for three long-standing
series getting August street dates and the debut of a new series on DVD … also
in August.
Returning on Aug. 21 is
one of the CBS mainstays, Blue Bloods: The Eighth Season (all
22 episodes), which was a good-news/bad-news season for fans — Danny’s wife,
Linda (Amy Carlson), died in a rescue chopper crash, but Jamie and his partner,
Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray), finally took it to the next level and got engaged.
Also streeting on Aug. 21
is another CBS franchise, NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service -
The Fifteenth Season (24 complete episodes), which finished a thrilling
cliffhanger and the very sad news for fans that Abby (Pauley Perrette) was
wrapping up her career as the NCIS Forensic Specialist. The good news for fans is that Gibbs (Mark
Harmon) has re-upped for two more seasons!
One week earlier, Aug. 14,
is the new David Boreanaz action series, SEAL Team: Season One … it will be
making its DVD debut with all 22 first-season episodes.
Bravo Team is after the bad
guys no matter where they go or where they try to hide!
Also on Aug. 14 is NCIS:
New Orleans: The Fourth Season … all 24 episodes featuring the
crime-fighting efforts of Dwayne Cassius Pride (Scott Bakula), Christopher
LaSalle (Lucas Black) and their New Orleans-based team.
In other release news
from Paramount Home Media this week, there will be five new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray
Combo Pack releases on Aug. 21. This
time it is the late Tom Clancy and the film adaptations of his best-selling Jack
Ryan novels that Paramount will be promoting.
These are: The
Hunt for Red October (1990, directed by John McTiernan, with Sean
Connery, Alec Baldwin and Scott Glenn), Patriot Games (1992, direction by Phillip
Noyce, with Harrison Ford, Sean Bean and Anne Archer), Clear and Present Danger
(1994, Phillip Noyce again handles the direction, with Harrison Ford and Anne
Archer returning), The Sum of All Fears (2002, Ben Affleck takes over the role of
Jack Ryan with Phil Alden Robinson behind the camera) and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
(2014, directed by Kenneth Branagh with Chris Pine as Jack Ryan … he joined by
Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley and Kenneth Branagh).
