Well… there’s not much happening in the home video industry for the rest of this week it appears. With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us, the studios seem to have shut down for the rest of the week.

We do have a couple quick things for you today…

First, Doogan has his weekly Queue for you – Thanksgiving edition. So be sure to check that out.  [Read on here…]

Also our own Russell Hammond has updated the Release Dates & Artwork section with all the latest Blu-ray and DVD cover art plus Amazon.com pre-order links. Remember, anything you order from Amazon in the same session after clicking to them through our links helps to support The Bits and we really do appreciate it.

Announcement-wise today, 20th Century Fox has set Glee: The Complete Fifth Season for DVD only release on 1/6. Extras will include a pair of featurettes and a “jukebox” feature.

I’m sure you all spotted the Battlestar Galactica news from Universal yesterday – fascinating.

Speaking of Universal, the studio is releasing the classic Knight Rider TV series on Blu-ray in Japan this week (on 11/27 – see this link at Amazon.co.jp). It’s possible we might see it here in the States next year as well. I suppose it’s too much to ask for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century on BD next?

And Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS have set Horns for Blu-ray and DVD release on 1/6, starring Daniel Radcliffe.

Also, it looks as if Disney may be getting ready to release Aladdin back in theaters next year in 3D (on 9/18), with plans for the Aladdin: Diamond Edition Blu-ray to include Blu-ray 3D on 10/6. This according to the Disney Wiki. We’ll see.

Don’t forget to check out and take advantage of all the great Black Friday Deals on Amazon this week – if you click through this link first doing so supports The Bits!

Finally today, Fox Connect is having a big sale (up to 87% off) from now until 12/7 on select Fox BD and DVD titles. You can check that out here.

Here’s that cover art for the on-sale TNG BDs again...

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season One (Blu-ray Disc)    Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Two (Blu-ray Disc)    Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Three (Blu-ray Disc)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Four (Blu-ray Disc)    Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Five (Blu-ray Disc)    Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Six (Blu-ray Disc)

That’s all for now. Stay tuned…
