THE TUDORS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

Paramount / $42.99

Showtime has been criticized for slimming down King Henry VIII and for taking liberties with history, but the network may finally be seeing a return on its $38 million bid for HBO-style acclaim - The Tudors picked up two Golden Globe nominations this month: for best miniseries and for its star, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Out on DVD Wed-nesday, the costume drama takes a randy approach to British history.
