For people who understand why Andy Richter decided to reteam with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show: Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series

Three shows. Three utter failures.

Since exiting Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2000, Andy Richter hasn't had a lick of luck. Both Quintuplets and Andy Barker P.I. lasted hardly a season on their respective networks. His biggest "success" happens to be Andy Richter Controls the Universe, a 2002-03 comedy that appeared to be waayy ahead of its time.

In it, Richter played an aspiring writer living in Chicago named Andy Richter who dreamed of penning short stories. But to pay the bills, he was forced to be a technical manual writer for one of the largest companies in the United States. The series was notable for Richter's episode narrations and frequent demonstrations of alternative scenarios to what just occurred onscreen. (Hence the title).

Disc includes: Audio commentary, How Andy Richter Controlled the Universe featurette, What if Andy Richter Controlled the Universe? Featurette

For people who can't count: The Fast and the Furious Trilogy [Blu-ray]

I don't know which is worse: the fact that the title to the upcoming Fast and the Furious sequel has a title even lamer than 2 Fast 2 Furious or that a franchise "trilogy set" hits stores today, when a fourth franchise installment hits theaters in a week and a half. Take your pick.

What I do know, however, is that this Blu-ray collection comes bundled with an overload of extras. And given that The Fast and the Furious is all action and no story, this probably works out incredibly well.

Disc includes: Audio commentary, 20+ Fast and the Furious featurettes, 15+ 2 Fast 2 Furious featurettes, 15+ Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift featurettes, five music videos, deleted scenes, outtakes, digital copies of all three films
