Must See HDTV (November 19th - 25th)
It's time for Thanksgiving, but whether or not you're planning on overeating this weekend, there's plenty of reasons to chill on the couch for a while. Football season is heating up, both college and pro, and throughout the week most of our primetime TV schedule remains intact. Of course, we will say goodbye to iCarly, and tune in for the final race of the F1 season.Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.
Tarantino XX
While many high profile releases have either already gone on sale or are waiting until after the Black Friday rush, fans of Quentin Tarantino may be interested in this Lionsgate/Miramax collaboration. Collecting eight of the director's movies into one box Tarantino XX includes special packaging and artwork as well as two extra discs with all new bonus materials. There's a trailer after the break, if you somehow haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds yet.
($69.99 on Amazon)
Brazilian F1 GP
The Formula One season wraps up this weekend at Interlagos, and the driver's championship is still in doubt. Whether you're watching to see Vettel take his third series victory in a row, hoping for Alonso to snatch the crown away or waiting to see if the drivers on the move next year like Hamilton, Schumacher or Perez snatches one last victory under their current banner, it should be an exciting one.
(November 25th, 11AM, Speed TV)
The Walking Dead - The Video Game
While the current season of the AMC TV show still has a couple of episodes left before break, Telltale is dropping the finale of its episodic adventure series this week.
