OWN iZOMBIE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON on DVD Now!


The DVD Features All 13 One-Hour Episodes From The First Season, Plus Enhanced Content Including Deleted Scenes! From executive producers Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars, 90210, Party Down) and Diane Ruggiero-Wright (Veronica Mars, The Ex List), Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC Entertainment brings iZOMBIE: The Complete First Season to DVD on September 29, 2015. iZOMBIE, the new hit series that nearly 3 million people are tuning in to weekly on The CW, stars Rose McIver (Once Upon a Time, Masters of Sex), Malcolm Goodwin (Breakout Kings), Rahul Kohli (Eastenders), Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill) and David Anders (Once Upon a Time, The Vampire Diaries). The 3-disc DVD set includes all 13 episodes from the first season, plus deleted scenes and Comic-Con panel. iZOMBIE: The Complete First Season is priced to own at $39.98 SRP.

iZOMBIE stars Rose McIver as Olivia “Liv” Moore, a medical resident on the fast track to a perfect life … until she’s turned into a zombie. Now stuck between half-alive and undead, Liv transfers to the city morgue to reluctantly access the only thing that allows her to maintain her humanity — human brains. But there are side effects to Liv’s new diet. With each brain she consumes, she experiences flashes of the corpse’s memories — including, at times, clues as to how they were killed. Her boss, a brilliant but eccentric conspiracy theorist, encourages her to embrace this gift and to work with an unproven homicide detective to help solve these murders … and quiet the voices in her head. 

Fangirl Thoughts: If you read my blog then you know that I enjoyed this show thoroughly. I read the graphic novel. I think I might have been the only person that read it. I have yet to find someone else who did read it amongst my friends. Oh well, at least they have the show that they can watch. This show has a lot of tongue-in-cheek zombie jokes that you find yourself giggling as Liv faces some extraordinary circumstances. I would recommend this DVD and watching this show. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

OWN JANE THE VIRGIN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON TODAY


The DVD Includes All 22 One-Hour Episodes From The First Season, Plus Never-Before-Seen Featurettes, And Much More!  Just in time for the season two premiere on The CW, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment brings the critically acclaimed series from showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman and Emmy® and Golden Globe-winning executive producer Ben Silverman (The Office, Ugly Betty, The Biggest Loser) to DVD on September 29, 2015. Based off of the Venezuelan telenovela Juana La Virgen, the series stars Golden Globe Winner Gina Rodriguez (Filly Brown, Go for It! Our Family Wedding), Andrea Navedo (Remember Me, Washington Heights), Yael Grobglas (Reign), Justin Baldoni (Everwood, Spring Break Shark Attack), Ivonne Coll (Teen Wolf, Switched At Birth) Brett Dier (Ravenswood), and Jaime Camil (Qué Pobres Tan Ricos). The 5-disc DVD set includes all 22 episodes from the first season, plus hilarious never-before-seen bonus features. Jane The Virgin: The Complete First Season is priced to own at $49.99 SRP.

Set in Miami, Jane The Virgin follows the surprising and unforeseen events that take place in the life of Jane Villanueva. Jane (Rodriguez) is a 23 year old hard-working, religious Latina woman, whose family tradition and vow to save her virginity until marriage to a long time boyfriend and detective, is shattered when her doctor mistakenly artificially inseminates her during a checkup. And to make matters worse, the biological donor is a married man, a former playboy, and cancer survivor who is not only the new owner of the hotel where Jane works, but was also her former teenage crush. 

DVD BONUS FEATURES
• Jane the Virgin: Immaculate Creation - Go behind the scenes and get a peek into the creation of the show.
• Getting to Know the Cast of Jane the Virgin  - How well do the cast know each other? We’ll find out with this fun featurette as the co-stars get an opportunity to ask each other questions and guess each other’s answers.
• Gag Reel
• Deleted Scenes

Fangirl Thoughts: Please understand I do enjoy the bonus features of the DVD. I enjoy watching the deleted scenes and the gag reels, however the show is truly the gem on this DVD. This show was the break out show and is award winning. The show is written so well that you fall in love with the characters and enjoy the angst as it unfolds. It is perfect and I cannot wait to watch the second season. I think this is the right DVD for anyone to enjoy and hopefully bring more fans as you force your friends to watch with you.
