‘Beverly Hills 90210: The Ultimate Collection’ arrives

Ultimately, a DVD is going to come around to grab your attention, and this time it’s “Beverly Hills 90210: The Ultimate Collection.”

BH90210The CBS/Paramount boxed set is as massive as they come: 74 discs containing all 10 seasons of the original series, hours of bonus features, and even the debut season of the 2019 series “BH90210.”

Who can forget Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Luke Perry, and Jason Priestley in this iconic series? Anyone alive in the 1990s can’t!

Behind-the-scenes footage and interviews highlight the special features, which also include season recaps, promos, an “Entertainment Tonight” segment, and a gag reel for “BH90210.” That 2019 series features original cast members as heightened, dramatized version of themselves for outright fun moments.

Not to be outdone, “CSI: New York: The Complete Series” (CBS/Paramount) is a behemoth, too, at 55 discs starring Gary Sinise. All nine seasons can be found here: 197 episodes with a plethora of featurettes, audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and gag reels.

“Supernatural: The Fifteenth and Final Season” (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment) puts the exclamation point on the series with 20 epic episodes plus a bonus disc with more than two hours of special features.

One the the best titles in months is “Chaos Walking” (Lionsgate), a true winner of a movie starring Daisy Ridley (of “Star Wars” fame) and Tom Holland. This futuristic tale is of a planet where women have disappeared (in this case, Ridley crash-lands there) and men’s thoughts are on display despite their unacceptance of it.
