With so many DVDs of favorite shows coming out, it's hard to keep track of what's worth our time ... and, more importantly, our money. We've got the scoop on August's best TV-to-DVD releases, and we'll let you know when you should lay down your hard-earned cash (buy!) and when you should probably pinch your pennies (rent!). -- By Janine LoGelfo

Scrubs (Season 8)- Season 8 was a humdinger -- the series moved from NBC to ABC, guest-starred Courteney Cox-Arquette as the new chief of medicine and bade farewell to the show's main character, J.D. (Zach Braff.) Although Zach Braff has confirmed he will be returning for the first six episodes of season 9, Sacred Heart won't be the same without him. Buy this DVD, if only for one of the prettiest end-of-season montages you'll ever see.

'The Girls Next Door' (Season 5)

What the Season's About: This season chronicles the lead-up to the buxom blonde trio's flight from the Playboy coop. While we now know that Kendra and Bridget landed their own series, we will always remember their time in the mansion -- even if Hef doesn't.

Why You Should Check It Out: It's the last season that features Bridget, Holly and Kendra as Hef's girlfriends. While there is a season 6 in the works with all new Hef gal pals, the chemistry between these three will be hard to match.
