For people who mistakenly think they have died and gone to heaven: Walker, Texas Ranger: The Complete Series (Set)

Fact: Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise. Also a fact: There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris' computer. Chuck Norris is always in control. And one more fact: Newton's Third Law is wrong. Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

These are just some of the many "facts" about Chuck Norris floating around on the Internet, most notably on chucknorrisfacts.com, a site launched after Walker, Texas Ranger ended its eight-season run on CBS. It's funny, really, that so many people are aware of Chuck Norris and his former television show. Yet, how many of you have ever actually watched the thing? (Admittedly, I haven't). For the past few years, Paramount has slowly rolled out single seasons of the show on DVD. Beginning today, however, the studio is bucking the trend by releasing all eight seasons in one DVD package. Now, if only Conan O'Brien would sell his Walker, Texas Ranger Lever...

Disc includes: Bare bones.

You had me at "Thank you. Thank you so much": The Closer: The Complete Third Season

TNT's Saving Grace and USA's In Plain Sight have just one show to thank for helping to popularize television shows that center on sassy, female law enforcement officials. It's The Closer, another product of TNT and one of cable's first true blockbuster series starring Kyra Sedgwick as tough-as-nails deputy chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. Also starring J.K. Simmons as Brenda's boss, assistant chief Will Pope, the drama follows the goings-on at a special unit of the LAPD that handles high-profile murder cases, which Brenda heads after she moves to L.A. from Atlanta. Brenda may be hard-nosed and quirky, but the girl sure can interrogate. Launched in 2005, the series continues breaking cable records with each new season. The most recent, available today, premiered a year ago to 9.55 million viewers, the most ever for a scripted series (a.k.a. numbers that even NBC and the other broadcasting guys wouldn't mind scoring, too).

Disc includes: The Art of Interrogation featurette, gag reel, deleted scenes.

For people who didn't vote for George W. Bush: Vantage Point (Deluxe Edition)

Scoring kudo points for originality, Vantage Point, about an assassination attempt on United States President Henry Ashton (William Hurt), is the "same" 23-minute film looped about five or six times, with each new perspective adding pieces to an ever-growing (and thus more complicated) puzzle. Ending with the perspective of the very terrorists orchestrating the attack, the film also chronicles the viewpoints of a television news producer (Sigourney Weaver), U.S. Scret Service agents (Matthew Fox and Dennis Quaid), an American tourist (Forest Whitaker) and others, all of whom witness the event in Salamanca from differing angles.

Disc includes: Bonus digital copy of the film, both widescreen and full-screen versions, deleted scene, An Inside Perspective: Interviews with the Cast and Crew featurette, Plotting an Assassination: Interview with First-time Screenwriter Barry Levy featurette, commentary with director Pete Travis.

For people patiently waiting for Super Size Me 2: Denny's – 30 Days: The Complete Second Season

Documentarian Morgan Spurlock's groundbreaking Super Size Me has a little known sister sibling airing on FX. Like Super Size Me, in which Spurlock forced himself to eat nothing but McDonald's food for 30 days alongside certain regulations set by himself, the appropriately titled cable show 30 Days tracks Spurlock (or some other lab rat) spending a full month immersed in a particular lifestyle to which Spurlock (or the lab rat) is unfamiliar. Highlights from the series' brief six-episode second season include an episode featuring an atheist who must live with a devout Christian family, a pro-choice woman who must live inside a crisis pregnancy center and Spurlock himself residing in Henrico County Jail in Richmond.

Disc includes: Audio commentary.
