The Tubes On Disc: TV Physical Media News Of The Week

The Tubes On Disc physical media news this week includes Gilmore Girls, Lucifer, Looney Tunes, Welcome To Derry, and a Hazbin Hotel review.

TV shows on disc were once a vast business, even keeping some shows on the air, especially during the golden years and early days of cable expansion. While not as prolific as before, there are still numerous shows being released all the time, and we care deeply about physical media around these parts. In this new weekly column, we will bring you news on a selection of these releases, let you know what is coming on physical media and when, and what is worth your money, with reviews and more. Welcome to The Tubes On Disc!

Pick-Up/Review Of The Week

For Christmas, the family got the first season of Prime Video's musical animated series Hazbin Hotel. We love this show and have endless discussions about it, so having a physical media copy of it is great. You never know when they could pull it off the service in the future, and it happens way more often with shows than films, it feels like. Anyway, the show looks fantastic on disc and is essential for fans, thanks to the exhaustive commentaries from creator Vivienne Medrano, animation director Skye Henwood, and art director Sam Miller. I do wish a Dolby Atmos track had been included to really make the songs sing, but the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track does the job. Grab this while you can, fans, cause it will disappear quickly.
