The next to last season of fantasy favorite Merlin leads a collection of Brit shows hitting DVD and Blu-ray this week including Waking the Dead, Being Human, and Twenty Twelve. The final season of the critically acclaimed but viewer challenged Men of a Certain Age also gets a DVD release. For the kids — and adults who were kids in the 1970s — the complete Jackson Five animated series hits DVD and Blu-ray! In addition to series TV, the January 15 releases also includes several TV movies originally aired on the Hallmark channel.

In this week’s new home video releases, Liam Neeson returns to some familiar territory when dealing with the consequences of his actions in the surprise hit Taken. Unfortunately, the follow-up, Taken 2, didn’t fare as well with audiences or critics but it still may be worth checking out on video. Hollywood tried to make us think The Possession was some radical new version of The Exorcist … except it pretty much wasn’t. And Woody Allen followed up his charming trip to Paris with To Rome With Love, but you may be better off checking out some of his classic films new to Blu-ray this week: Hannah and Her Sisters and Sleeper. In fact, the classic films on video this week are where it’s at with the release of The Best Years of Our Lives, How Green Was My Valley, the original The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Tin Drum and more.
