What better way to celebrate July 4 than with a red-, white-and blue-bedecked Lynda Carter helping America battle the Nazis in this spunky 76-79 series? Despite the carbon-copy plots (Wonder Woman vs. Nazi spy-du-jour), Carter's charm—like her lasso of truth—is irresistible.Extras: A documentary and trivia-filled commentary track with Carter, who talks about inventing Wonder Woman's signature spin.

SCTV NETWORK/90: VOLUME ONE ($89.98)

In the early '80s the funniest, smartest comedy sketch program on TV was not SNL but a cult Canadian show featuring unknowns such as John Candy, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. This five-disc set saves a true comedy classic from oblivion. Extras: Four new documentaries (including a touching tribute to Candy) and booklet with essays by Conan O'Brien and Ben Stiller.
