Waiting for Superman, Unstoppable, The Fugitive, Dr. Who, Top Gear....

Only two major theatrical features are being released this week on DVD: The very buzzy documentary (that was snubbed in this year's Oscar nominations) Waiting for 'Superman' and the action flick Unstoppable, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine.  Extras on Waiting for 'Superman' include four additional stories from inspiring teachers and students, a conversation with the director Davis Guggenheim, audio commentary by the director and producer of the film, and three featurettes about the future of public education.  Only two extras, however, on the Unstoppable DVD:  An audio commentary by director Tony Scott and a making-of featurette.

Big TV sellers this week are the final season of the classic TV show The Fugitive, another Dr. Who movie this week: Dr. Who: A Christmas Carol, and Season 4 of Spin City, which was Michael J. Fox's final season on the show.  The popular British series for auto lovers, Top Gear, has two new seasons being released on DVD: Season 14 and Season 15.  They are also the first seasons to be released on Blu-ray.  Oh, and for you big kids of the '80s, the full first season of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is now on DVD.

Finally, the documentary about the life and career of Motörhead singer and bassist Lemmy Kilmister, Lemmy: 49% Motherf*****, 51% Son Of A B**** (which might just be one of the greatest titles, ever).
