Apples In Stereo – #1 Hits Explosion
If you aren't familiar with Apples In Stereo, this "Best Of" compilation is a great way to start. If you are familiar with Apples In Stereo, you know that this is probably the best "Best Of" album coming out this month.
Release date: September 1

Fringe – The Complete First Season
I almost gave up on Fringe about half way through the first season, but then it somehow turned into the show I'm most anticipating coming back for season two.
Release date: September 8

Parks & Recreation: Season One
This might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 8

Jay-Z – Blueprint 3
Jay-Z's eleventh studio album — a feat in itself — is as good as any of the other ten. Which is awesome if you like the other ten.
Release date: September 8

The Office: Season Five
The original UK version of The Office was fourteen episodes long. With this release, the US version is at 109 episodes and counting. I think that's probably as good a metaphor for America as you'll ever find.
Release date: September 8

The Informers
Movies are usually anywhere from 30% to 95% less enjoyable than the books they are based one. The Informers was just an okay book. Feel free to do the math.
Release date: September 8

The Beatles Remastered
The Beatles finally get remastered. But they aren't on iTunes. The world doesn't actually make sense anymore.
Release date: September 9

The Big Bang Theory: Season 2
This might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 15

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 4
This might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 15

The IT Crowd: The Complete Third Season
This might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 15

Pearl Jam – Backspacer
One critic described this album as "fun," which seems only slightly blasphemous when you're talking about Pearl Jam. Then again, I don't think I've listened to a Pearl Jam album since Vitalogy.
Release date: September 20

Five Finger Death Punch – War is the Answer
I have never heard of Five Finger Death Punch, but apparently Five Finger Death Punch has a new album. Metal isn't usually my thing, but I'm willing to give Five Finger Death Punch a chance because Five Finger Death Punch is my new favorite band name. Seriously, Five Finger Death Punch — how cool is that?
Release date: September 22

30 Rock: Season 3
This might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 22

Basement Jaxx – Scars
I prefer Basement Jaxx to Daft Punk. There… I said it.
Release date: September 22

Madonna – Celebration
If you aren't familiar with Madonna, this "Best Of" compilation is a great way to start. If you are familiar with Madonna, you know that this is probably not the best "Best Of" album coming out this month.
Release date: September 29

How I Met Your Mother: The Legendary Season 4
This isn't the funniest show on TV right now, but I love it anyway.
Release date: September 29

Kings: The Complete Series
Last year was brutal for shows I enjoyed getting cancelled. Kings will occupy a special place next to my Sports Night DVDs. Please excuse me while I go cry a little.
Release date: September 29

Man Stroke Woman: Complete Series
If it was actually still on TV, I would be tempted to say this might be the funniest show on TV right now.
Release date: September 29
