New on DVD and Blu-ray
"F is for Family"
"F is for Family" is one of four Netflix original series dropping on December 18. PC Principal would hate this one, but that may be why you love it. The animated sitcom, co-created by comedian Bill Burr, debuts its first six episodes on December 18. It's a "family comedy" set in the pre-PC world of 1970s "when you could smack your kid, smoke inside and bring a gun to the airport." Ah, the good ole days! Bill Burr voices the Murphy family patriarch, with Laura Dern as his wife, Justin Long as his eldest son, Debi Derryberry as his daughter, and Haley Reinhart as his young son.
Check out the very un-PC Season 1 trailer (warning: explicit language):
"Fargo" (Monday on FX at 10 p.m.)Maybe all Coen Bros. movies should inspire new TV shows. Season 2 of this instant classic series stars Kirsten Dunst, Patrick Wilson, Jesse Plemons, Jean Smart, and Ted Danson, and the fun is ending with Episode 10, "Palindrome," on December 14. Check out why it just got some "The Expanse" (Monday on Syfy at 10 p.m.)
Syfy is launching its most ambitious series ever with the 10-episode space drama "The Expanse." Episode 1 starts December 14, with Episode 2 following the next night, Tuesday, December 15. The series will then air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. for the rest of the season. The drama is based on the best-selling book series set 200 years in the future after mankind has colonized space. The case of a missing young woman leads a hardened detective and a rogue ship's captain across the solar system to uncover the greatest conspiracy in human history.
"The Soup" (Friday on E! at 10 p.m.)
This is it. E! is ending "The Soup" after 22 seasons on Friday, December 18. The series started as "Talk Soup" with host Greg Kinnear, and was renamed and spruced up in 2004 when Joel McHale took over. Clear some time on Friday night to bid the show adieu.
