“Newhart,” “The Good Wife” and both “NCIS” shows lead TV series season sets on Blu-ray and DVD this week.

“Newhart: The Complete Fourth Season” (Shout!/DVD, 1985-86, three discs, 24 episodes). Bob Newhart’s second hit sitcom follows the formula that made “The Bob Newhart Show” so popular.

Along with Larry and his brother(s) Darryl.

This season, Jose Ferrer shows up in two episodes as Stephanie’s father, Dick fills in for a kiddie-show host and causes the show to be canceled, George starts his own lodge and a ghost begins haunting the inn.
