Totally! I pull out YM&B when I need some Erich but don't have more than an hour to spend on my yoga practice. When I have more time, I luxuriate in Beginners. If I'm really short on time, I'll do a chapter or two from Beginners and then the savasana-ahhhh...

I still stick by many of my original recommendations (although maybe the Viniyoga Therapy for Upper Back isn't what you're looking for).

Thought of another few:
Kripalu Yoga - Gentle
Sara Ivanhoe's Candlelight Yoga
Rod Stryker's Yoga for Longevity
These aren't necessarily intended just for flexibility, but they should help you work on that as well.
And some of the Yoga Zones might indeed be what you're looking for.

I remember someone was asking about lower body flexibility so came back to this post. There are a lot of good suggestions.

My legs were very tight today and I was had to use audio because the TVs were occupied. I'd forgotten how wonderful Shiva Rea's Yoga Sanctuary, Lunar practice was. It really is great for opening the hips and hamstrings. It is a CD practice which I downloaded to my ipod. Nice to not look at the tv for a change. There are several chapters so you don't have to to do the full practice at once.

Although not yoga, I also like Cathe's Stretch Max that has 3 20 min segments

Now, I must go lay down because I'm super relaxed
