From Cornelius Vanderbilt to Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and J.P. Rockefeller, a series of industrial titans emerged in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, who almost single-handedly laid the foundations for the America that we now know and love. This ambitious documentary from cable's History Channel profiles a number of the said men. Episodes include: Oil Strike, Blood is Spilled, A New Rival Emerges, Owning it All, Taking the White House, A New War Begins, The New Machine and A Rivalry is Born, plus a number of bonus segments unaired on American television.

The first season of Laverne & Shirley makes its way to DVD from the fine folks at Paramount. Fifteen episodes are included in their original airdate order, with no extras to be found on the three discs that make up the set. Video is presented in standard full-screen mode, while audio options include a lone close-captioned Dolby Digital Stereo track. Hopefully, bonus features will be filled out on later discs, given the amount of seasons yet to be released for this much-loved TV sitcom.
