'FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE 10TH SEASON'

The final season of this best-loved show ($44.98 from Warner Home Video) comes with an impressive array of extras. First and foremost is the hilarious, 43-minute gag reel featuring outtakes from seasons one through five as well as season 10. Clearly, the cast had a great time horsing around, and who knew that "jag-off" was a staple of Matt LeBlanc's vocabulary?

Also included are bittersweet reminiscences by cast and crew about their 10 years on the series; interviews with guest stars Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd and Aisha Tyler; a music video from LeBlanc's spin-off show, "Joey;" and commentary on three episodes.

Also released this week is the complete set of the entire series, but fans who already have previous seasons and now buy the 10th season can send in a slip and $20 for a limited edition box to house their existing collection.

'FANTASY ISLAND: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON'

Wish fulfillment makes good television, and "Fantasy Island" found success with it for seven years. The program debuted in 1977 -- when TV reigned and movies were in a slump -- and became Sony Pictures Television's most expensive show to produce.

"Fantasy Island: The Complete First Season" (Sony Pictures Entertainment, $49.95) is an enjoyable walk down memory lane. For $50,000, anyone with a dream could travel to the tropical paradise, where they were hosted by the distinguished, debonair and mysterious Mr. Roarke (played by Ricardo Montalban) and his amiable bell-ringing midget assistant, Tattoo ("Da plane, da plane!").

The series featured engaging story lines and some of the most popular actors and actresses of the time. The DVD extra footage includes interviews with several, including Joe Campanella and Adrienne Barbeau. Producer Leonard Goldberg provides interesting insight into the show's conception and development, including where it was filmed, which may surprise many viewers.

But there's not nearly enough extra material to satisfy fans. An interview with French-born Herve Villechaize, who played Tattoo, was out of the question since he died in 1993. (He had quit the show in 1983 over a salary dispute.) But the project cries out for something, anything, from the lips of Montalban.

'SCRUBS: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON'

Another winning effort from the folks at "Scrubs," this second season collection ($39.99, Buena Vista Home Entertainment) boasts copious extras, including a documentary on making the show inside an abandoned hospital, production design, costumes and stunts with Ted the Lawyer's a capella group humming/singing the show's theme song in the introduction.

"Alternative Lines, A Second Opinion" reveals some cast members' ability to ad lib; "Practice, Practice, Malpractice" is a blooper reel; and "Secrets & Lies" has cast and crew joshingly talking smack about one another in a way that's out of the Hollywood norm (at least in terms of sharing it with the public).

NBC promises to bring "Scrubs" back at some point this season, but until then, enjoy this new DVD and star John C. McGinley's new euphemisms for death: "Put him on the last train to deadsville," "last train to croaksville," "to help him kick that nasty oxygen habit he had once and for all."
