More of last season’s shows that have already premiered or will be premiering soon are heading to home video on October 2, including the previous seasons of How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, Nikita, and 90210. For the kids (of all ages), animation is well-represented with titles featuring the Transformers, Thundercats, Tom & Jerry, and Dora. Classic TV buff have a nice selection to choose from with The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, and It Takes a Thief. Plus, anyone who remembers the bizarre (and short-lived) sitcom from the 1976 television season, Big John, Little John, will be thrilled that all 13 episodes will be on DVD as well. Have a look at our handy guide to see if any of your favorites are coming this week, and click on the appropriate link to make a purchase or to get more information.

New DVD and Blu-ray releases for October 2 include Tim Burton’s incredibly divisive take on the TV cult classic Dark Shadows (it wasn’t as bad as I’d feared it would be), a 25th anniversary edition of The Princess Bride, a very cool Blu-ray upgrade for the Universal Monsters collection including The Creature from the Black Lagoon in all of its 3D glory, and from the Disney vaults for a limited time, the classic animated feature Cinderella, beautifully restored for Blu-ray. And if last week’s James Bond collection was a little too rich for your blood (or if you had the previous collections), the folks at MGM have graciously begun releasing the films individually. All of these titles and more are now available for pre-order, so have a look at our handy guide and click on the appropriate link to make a purchase or to get more information.
