The FBI crime procedural Numb3rs may be a CBS series, but since it’s currently airing in syndication on TNT, that makes it part of the TNT family, too.
On October 20, fans of the show — no matter which network they watch it on — can pick up the Season Five DVD set at their preferred retail outlet.
The fifth season of Numb3rs has 23 episodes contained on six DVDs in the boxed compilation. As an added bonus, there are the usual special features, which include commentary from cast and crew members on certain episodes, deleted scenes, and a blooper reel. Best of all, though, is the featurette highlighting the show’s celebration of its milestone 100th episode, “The Fifth Man.” That one premiered back on April 29, 2009.
The list price for the boxed set tops out at an uncommonly expensive $60.99 on Amazon.com (other places have different list prices for some reason). But the up side is that many sellers are offering the new release at a significant discount — for now — and there are always options like Netflix and Blockbuster, too.
New episodes of Numb3rs‘ current sixth season air Fridays at 10pm on CBS, and syndicated episodes air weekdays on TNT from 2–4pm as of this writing.
