DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Sure, there are a dozen “Prestige TV” shows premiering this month, including “Fargo,” “The Leftovers,” “American Gods,” “The Son,” “Veep,” and more. But sometimes you just want to turn your brain off and enjoy television in one of its purest forms—as escapism. Remember when TV was fun? For the most part, the creators of “Prison Break” do and they’re here to tap your adrenalin more than intellect with this long-delayed fifth season for the Fox hit. One of the most B-TV guilty pleasures of the ‘00s hasn’t been “rebooted” as much as simply picked up seven years later. We’re in this strange era of nostalgia with new chapters for “Gilmore Girls,” “24,” “Twin Peaks,” and now this, years after we thought these shows had run out of stories to tell. Someone else can write the piece about how people want to live in happier days than they’re in in 2017, but is “Prison Break” worth the resurrection?-Brian Tallerico

Here come the 76th annual Golden Globes, whose mysterious group of 90-some Hollywood Foreign Press Association members somehow have stood the test of time and taunting.

NBC reclaimed the awards in 1996 after ceding them to TBS. A few years later, Hollywood correspondent Aljean Harmetz wrote in the Los Angeles Times that the Globes had become more or less “respectable” after “years of being ridiculed as a bunch of part-time journalists and full-time freeloaders who would sell their votes for a vodka tonic and cross the Alps for a hot dog.”

But as recently as 2014, actor Gary Oldman slammed the Globes anew as a “meaningless event” sponsored by “90 nobodies having a wank. Everybody’s getting drunk, and everybody’s sucking up to everybody. Boycott the f***ing thing. Just say we’re not going to play this silly game with you anymore.”

The last time Prison Break was on our screens, Michael Scofield and chums were still pulling their heists using flip phones. Since then, smartphones have taken over, and Wentworth Miller, the actor who plays Michael, has gained and lost a few pounds (accompanied by abhorrent fat-shaming from the press).

Meanwhile, in Prison Break-land, there’s been just as much change in the seven years since Michael’s “death” in season four’s finale. Former wife Sara (Sarah Warne Callies) has remarried, and Michael Jr is now an alarmingly perceptive seven-year-old. It all formed a vignette of domestic bliss – ready to be shattered by the past.

It wasn’t long before the brotherly brawn to Michael’s brains, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), turned up on Sara’s doorstep with a picture of our enigmatic protagonist. But not before he survived an implausibly hi-tech carjacking. Michael appeared to be (surprise, surprise) behind bars in war-torn Yemen. In a snap, the old gang reassembled – and the actors all slipped back into their characters like a pair of well-worn slippers. Conveniently, it transpired that C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar) had converted to Islam and learned arabic.
