An elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again, is the premise behind the crime drama Criminal Minds.
The Behavioral Analysis Unit's most prominent agent is David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), a founding member of the BAU, who returns to help the team solve new cases, while pursuing some unfinished business of his own. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
The Criminal Minds: Season Four DVD set of 7 discs contain the 24 episodes that aired on CBS from September 2008 through May 2009. The fifth season of Criminal Minds will premiere on Wednesday September 23rd at 9 PM (ET/PT).

Based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott), the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of Botswana's first and only female-owned detective agency.
Aided by her highly efficient yet rather peculiar secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), Mma Ramotswe investigates a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives, and begins a special friendship with a respectable garage owner (Lucian Msamati) along the way. Though only nominally a crime drama, like the books on which it is based, the series is more character driven than plot driven.
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency: Season One DVD set of 3 discs contain the 7 episodes, including the series pilot, that aired from March through May 2009 on HBO. Despite critical acclaim for the series, there has been no announcement yet on whether a second season will be produced.
