Welcome to DVD Verdict presents, our new weekly format. Each Monday, we'll run down the entertainment schedule for film, television, and DVD, to help you plan your week. We'll also give you a sneak peek at the DVD reviews we have lined up over the next five days.

This week, Chief Counsel Michael Stailey previews George Clooney's The Good German, NBC's A Year Without a Santa Claus, and a sleigh full of TV on DVD.

We encourage your comments and suggestions by emailing us or calling the hotline (open 24/7) at (310) 878-4968.
