The Good Wife: The First Season
(Paramount, $63)
Julianna Margulies earned a Golden Globe for her role in CBS’ The Good Wife, said The Washington Post. She plays the spouse of a city prosecutor caught up in a sex scandal. Influenced by the scandals of Eliot Spitzer and others, the show offers a “twist on the typical legal drama.”

America: The Story of Us
(A&E Home Video, $40)
This “compelling overview” of America’s history was the History Channel’s highest-rated series of all time, said the Chicago Daily Herald. Combining animation, dramatic re-creations, and “thoughtful insights,” the 12-part series chronicles a “heartbreaking and triumphant journey.”

Glee: Season One
(20th Century Fox, $40)
“If you aren’t a member of the Glee club, here’s your chance” to join, said The Kansas City Star. The hugely popular Fox series about a high school glee club is one of network television’s “most creative” new programs, and one of those rare shows that’s “worth multiple viewings.”
