Best Black Friday deals at Best Buy: 3 TV show Blu-ray sets you have to buy now

By

As a critic for Digital Trends, a large part of my job is to watch countless TV shows every year. It’s a big reason why friends and family ask me what new or classic shows to watch. Is that latest Netflix show worth a binge? Is it worth going back and watching that classic sitcom from the ’90s?

With the holiday season now upon us, it’s even more important to know what TV shows you should devote your time and dollars to and which ones you shouldn’t. This year, Best Buy has some terrific Black Friday deals on new and classic TV shows like Friends and The Sopranos. The below Blu-ray sets have such low prices that it’s impossible for anyone to ignore them for too long.

Friends

The recent untimely passing of Friends star Matthew Perry a month ago served as a reminder of not only how well-liked the actor was, but just how beloved the series still is in 2023. The hit NBC show, which ran from 1994 to 2004, is still watched by millions worldwide via syndication and on the Max streaming service.

For those who want to physically own one of television’s greatest sitcoms, they’re in luck. The Friends Complete Series Blu-ray set, which contains all 10 seasons and 236 episodes of the hit show, is on sale for only $62. You can save nearly $40 and relive some of your favorite moments from the show that starred Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc. Own it now and you can finally decide which episodes of Friends is the best.

Cowboy Bebop

Relax, I’m not recommending the awful 2021 Netflix live-action Cowboy Bebop remake, which died a very quick death due to scathing reviews and low streaming viewership. No, this four-disc Blu-ray set collects the original groundbreaking anime series that ran from 1998 to 1999 and inspired hordes of teenage boys to dress and act like Spike Spiegel. (I confess that I was one of those boys. I will not provide photographic evidence.)

Even though it’s well over two decades old, Cowboy Bebop still feels so modern, so stylishly with-it, that it will instantly make you seem cooler than you actually are if you gift it to someone. And at $32, it won’t break the bank. What else can give you status points at such a low price?

Yellowstone

The Paramount Network

If you were to guess what the most popular show on both streaming and broadcast is, you’d probably answer with Stranger Things or some CBS comedy. You’d be wrong! The Paramount Network’s Yellowstone TV show, starring Kevin Costner as the patriarch of a Montana cattle ranch family at war with outside forces and each other, has proven to be massively popular across broadcast, cable, and streaming channels, which is a bit odd since it’s not really that fashionable to admit to watching it.

While Yellowstone is currently on hiatus during its fifth and final season, that hasn’t stopped Paramount from putting out an almost complete collection for home viewers who can’t get enough of the Dutton family.  Yellowstone: The First Four Seasons assembles all the completed seasons for the first time, and is a good way to pass the time while the final season is still being filmed. The Blu-ray set is only $66, which is a small price to pay for such juicy, overwrought family drama.

5 underrated movies on Netflix you need to watch in September 2024
Dwayne Johnson and Seann William Scott take a sweaty walk together.

Netflix should rename September to "Crime Month" as several murder-focused stories hit the service in the coming weeks. The Perfect Couple, a murder mystery series starring Nicole Kidman, is now streaming. The other noteworthy series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, arrives later this month and explores the homicidal brothers from the 1990s.

The Perfect Couple and Monsters will dominate the Netflix top 10. Many films in Netflix's library might lose viewership because of these shows. That does not mean you should ignore them. Several movies listed below are underrated gems, including an entertaining heist from an auteur, a standout performance from an A-list star, and a cute coming-of-age romance.

10 best Michael Keaton movies, ranked
Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder approach the altar in Beetlejuice.

Michael Keaton was never supposed to be a superhero. It’s easy to forget, nearly 40 years removed from his casting as Batman, that he made his bones as the meat-and-potatoes front man for yuk-yuk comedies like Mr. Mom. But it was his turn as Betelgeuse, the ghost with the most (ironically his funniest role), that helped Hollywood see him for the weird and woolly deviant he was.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the new, long-awaited sequel to the Tim Burton-directed phenomenon, is only the latest of the wildly different screen experiences he’s brought to life. The following is a totally biased ranking of the actor's 10 best movies he's made so far in his career.

70 years ago, Hollywood made the perfect summer thriller. Here’s why it still holds up in 2024.
Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, and Thelma Ritter look out an apartment window together in Rear Window.

Human beings do not do well with change. We resist it and seek distractions wherever we can, especially in moments when we should be looking within rather than out. That has only become a harder habit to kick, too, in the Internet Age. Why take care of our problems or acknowledge our own hang-ups when we can just watch other peoples' lives pass by in front of our eyes with just a few swipes of our fingers? As Thelma Ritter's nurse, Stella, puts it in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 masterpiece, Rear Window: "We've become a race of peeping toms."

That line may have been written by screenwriter John Michael Hayes 70 years ago, but it's only become more relevant in the decades since. It's a comment directed in the film at Stella's client, L.B. Jeffries (Jimmy Stewart), a thrill-seeking photographer who has been left apartment-bound in a giant, itchy plaster cast after breaking his leg during a job gone wrong. With nothing to do but sit in his wheelchair and look out his apartment window, L.B. has taken to passing the time by spying on his neighbors' lives through their courtyard windows. Before long, he's become convinced that one of his fellow tenants, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), has secretly killed his wife.
