New TV on DVD Releases for the Week of August 18 2009

Here is a list of the new TV DVD Releases for the week of August 18 2009 (for movie releases head over to Daemon's Movies):

The Beast (Season One)
Synopsis: The Beast centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, Charles Barker (Swayze), who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove (Fimmel). Barker trains Dove in a hard-edged, psychologically driven approach towards undercover work, where a moment's hesitation can lead to death.
Cast: Patrick Swayze, Travis Fimmel
Recommendations: I admit to only giving one episode of The Beast a shot, and although it was enjoyable, I think that I already had too many shows to watch to really get into a new one. But if you enjoy undercover cop shows, you might enjoy it.
Buy it: THE BEAST on Amazon

First Look: A&E's THE BEAST Review

After the success of The Cleaner, A&E will premiere its new original series, THE BEAST, tonight, January 15, at 10pm.
Starring Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel, The Beast follows FBS veteran, Charles Barker (Swayze), who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove (Fimmel). It is the typical old cop trains young cop type of show with an edge.
Before I get too much into the show, I have to first let you know that I usually am not a big fan of cop shows, and that has nothing to do with their quality, it's just not my thing, so keep that in mind when I share my opinion of The Beast.
The first episode throws you right into the action as we meet Charles Barker and Ellis Dove, two FBI agents in an undercover mission. We soon realize that Dove still has a lot to learn from his mentor.

First Look: A&E's THE BEAST Preview

A&E will premiere a new original series, THE BEAST, on January 15th 2008 at 10pm.
Starring Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel, The Beast centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, Charles Barker (Swayze), who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove (Fimmel), to train in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting.
A&E's previous series was The Cleaner, which I quite enjoyed, so I am curious to see if The Beast lives up to the same standards.
You can watch a short teaser of The Beast below. Does it sound like it's something you might enjoy?
