TV on DVD: 'Masters of Sex'; 'Get Shorty'

'MASTERS OF SEX: COMPLETE SERIES.' It's great when underappreciated series find champions. In this case, it's Showtime's smart cultural/personal docudrama tracking midcentury sex researchers Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson (Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan, with fine support from Beau Bridges and Allison Janney). Stepping up to the plate is rising distributor Mill Creek, smartly sleeving together all four seasons (based on the book by Newsday's Thomas Maier), with existing bonus features (making-of, historical outline, illuminating Maier interview, pilot commentary, more). And Blu, too! List price $55 DVD/$70 Blu-ray, out this week from Mill Creek.

'GET SHORTY.' Don't have Epix premium channel? Here's the way to savor Ray Romano's acclaimed work as a low-rent Hollywood producer. Equally great Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids," "Girls") plays the low-level mob enforcer he gets into business with, both men desperate for personal redemption. Based in part on the Elmore Leonard book behind 1995 John Travolta film. $30 DVD, MGM/Fox.
