COMEDY

"Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show" (New Line, $29)

Actor Vince Vaughn takes four comedians on a tour of the southern and central United States, exposing their talent, creating goodwill and giving us a glimpse of some funny guys and the mechanics of stand-up comedy. There are moments of performing brilliance, and there are a few gripping moments when everything seems ready to go terribly wrong. All the men present a distinctive comedic style, rich in vulgarity and mirthful loutishness, and make an engaging trip along the cutting edge of America's funny bone. The program contains strong language, smoking and sexual humor. The DVD includes featurettes, commentary and extra scenes.

TV

"Weeds: Season Three" (Lions Gate, $40)

Mary-Louise Parker and her pot-peddling pals are back in the sly comedy about a suburban widow who becomes a hot new dealer on the marijuana circuit to pay the family bills. The three-disc DVD and two-disc Blu-ray sets have all 15 episodes from the third season, plus commentary and featurettes.

"Mannix: The First Season" (CBS, $55)

The crime show that debuted in the late 1960s stars Mike Connors in the title role as a tough, old-fashioned private eye. The first 24 episodes come in a six-disc package, accompanied by an interview with Connors and co-star Joseph Campanella, who also provide commentary.

"CHiPS: The Complete Second Season" (Warner, $40)

Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox resume their patrol as California motorcycle cops in the crime show from the 1970s and '80s. The four-disc set has the second season's 22 episodes, along with interviews with Estrada.

"The Incredible Hulk" (Universal, $40 each)

Timed to the June 13 release of the new big-screen adventure "The Incredible Hulk," the TV series starring Bill Bixby as the scientist with the angry green alter ego returns in a five-disc set with all 23 episodes from the third season and a four-disc set packing all 18 episodes from the fourth season.
