“Northern Exposure: The Complete Sixth Season” — The show about the quirky town of Cicely, Alaska, could not survive the departure of Rob Morrow part way through year six.

DVD set, $59.98. (Universal)

“Stargate Atlantis: Season Two” — The spinoff of the sci-fi hit “Stargate SG-1” continues with a five-disc set packing all 20 episodes from year two. The set has commentary for each episode, plus a handful of featurettes. DVD set, $49.98. (MGM)

“Moonlighting: Season Five” — The final season of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd’s glib action comedy comes in a three-disc set with all 13 episodes. The set has cast and crew commentary and Willis and Shepherd’s original screen tests. DVD set, $29.98. (Lionsgate)
