I felt I needed a place to talk about all the random TV Series I watch as I watch them. I don't really consider these actual reviews... but I do give my basic thoughts on them... so thought I would put it here. If you think it fits better elsewhere Touti, please feel free to move the topic. Anyway... here is what I been watching lately...

Supernatural: Season 2 (Discs 5-6)
THEY'RE BACK -- THE GHOULS AND VAMPIRES, THE GHOSTS and spirits -- and even more terrifying entities. And wherever these evil beings are, you'll find brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, hunters on the trail of the demon who murdered their mother...and of any other unholy agent of the 'Supernatural'.
At the end of Season 1, Sam, Dean and their father were trapped in a twisted mass of metal and shattered glass. This season begins with the aftermath of that car crash and a shocking sacrifice that cements the bond between the Winchester men forever. Join the brothers in their mind-bending, bone-chilling Season 2 road trip across America -- a journey deeper into the mystery of their own destinies.
My Thoughts:
This is a series I have loved since the first episode. I am sure that is not surprising as big of a horror fan is. All the episodes on these 2 last discs of the set were great... enjoyed every one of them. Now I can finally start on the third season which I was recording onto my cable box each week until I finished watching the season 2 episodes over again.

The Veil
The Veil, a spine-tingling television series devoted to the paranormal, stars Boris Karloff as the show's host. Hailed as one of the greatest television series that was never aired. The Veil, unfortunately, never made to the small screen due to the financial problems of the show's film company. Television buff's that enjoy tension and suspense will delight in these thrilling episodes chock full of surprising twists and unexpected turns.
Also in for an exciting treat are Boris Karloff fans who will enjoy watching the veteran horror icon assume several diverse roles including: a comically inept British sergeant, an elderly gentleman confined to a wheelchair who is guarding a terrible secret, and a psychiatrist at the Bellevue Hospital in New York. The stories Karloff tells revolve around such supernatural phenomens as messages from beyond the grave, psychic premonitions, and other paranormal events. These hair-raising tales will have you on the edge of your seat in disbelief over the freaky phenomens before your very eyes...and wondering if they're true!
My Thoughts:
This is a classic TV Series that I guess was never meant to be. As the plot says... it is a TV Series that Boris Karloff did that never got it's funding to air. This is a Twilight Zone type show With Boris Karloff hosting. So far I only watched 2 episodes... and while I definitely enjoyed them.. I don't consider them quite as good as the episodes I have seen of Twilight Zone. There is one thing that I do like on these episodes though... that is the fact that Boris Karloff has a part in all the stories... so he is not only the host... but the main actor in each one. I really liked that concept... just wish it would have gotten it's funding... as I do think it would have went a long ways.

Reba: Season 1 (Disc 1)
When your husband of twenty years divorces you for a woman half his age, it's time to move on to Plan B. For Reba Hart (Reba McEntire), that means not only accepting that her marriage is over, but also accepting that her ex's new wife is pregnant. If that isn't disruptive enough, Reba learns that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant too. So it's out with the old and in with the new as hubby leaves and son-in-law arrives. With all the outrageous domestic obstacles thrown in her path, Reba realizes one thing for sure: life will never be the same in this dysfunctional household!
My Thoughts:
Well... I just finished watching the first 8 episodes of this series. I did see 1 or 2 episodes of this series before... but never enough to do more then get my curiosity up about it. Now seeing it from the very beginning I must say I am hooked on this sitcom. This is the first sitcom I have seen that literally every episode (so far) had me laughing out loud. Reba McEntire does an outstanding job.... I just love her character in this show... ready to tell it like it is no matter who she is talking to... with a touch of her sense of humor added in. Actually I like most all the characters on this show... other then Barbara Jean.., for some reason she just rubs me the wrong way. But she is a great character for Reba to poke fun at.

Masters of Horror: The V Word
For two geeky best friends who’ve only experienced carnage via their video games, it’s the ultimate late night dare: Ever seen a real dead guy? But when the pair breaks into a creepy local mortuary, they unleash a ferocious ghoul (Michael Ironside of SCANNERS and STARSHIP TROOPERS ) who’s hungry to share a few depraved urges of his own. Even if these pals-for-life can resist a violent suburban blood-spree, is there any peer pressure more horrific than that of the undead? Jodelle Ferland of SILENT HILL co-stars in this grisly twist on teenage vampirism written by series creator Mick Garris.
My Thoughts:
This is an episode I just got for Christmas.... so it is the first time I ever seen it. But being a huge fan of Vampire movies I been looking forward to this episode since I first found out about it. After watching "The V Word" I can with certainty say that this is my favorite episode of the series so far (with only 2 episodes I have never seen yet). This could partially be because of my love of vampire movies... but it is definitely more then that. I really liked the main 2 characters in the film... they actually reminded me of my best friend and I from my teen years. Of course this episode does play with the vampire legend some. Not saying that is a bad thing... seems like a lot of vampire stories do now. But in this episode there is no fangs... and they do have a reflection in mirrors... but I got to admit... I got mixed signals on whether they have to be invited into your house to come in.... in one scene a person just turned into a vampire was begging to be let in... but yet in another scene they just freely walked into someone's house. Anyway... this is a great episode... with a fair amount of gore. I definitely recommend checking out "The V Word".

Bones: Season 2 (Disc 1)
Television's sexiest investigative duo - forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seely Booth (David Boreanaz) - is back, combining her uncanny ability to decipher clues found hidden in the remains of victims, his hard-hitting investigative techniques, and state-of-the-art forensic technology to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever.
In Season Two, as Brennan gets a new boss and takes on a new partner, tensions mount, passions flare and a shocking conspiracy forces her to confront her troubled past. Packed with intrigue, drama, and just the right touch of dark humor, Bones is the show that has it all!
Episodes:
1. The Titan on the Tracks
2. The Mother and Child in the Bay
3. The Boy in the Shroud
4. The Blonde in the Game
My Thoughts:
This is a series that became one of my favorites from the pilot episodes. All the episodes on this disc was very good... but my favorite on this disc would have to be "The Mother and Child in the Bay" with "The Blonde in the Game" coming in at a close second. The first disc in this set had no extras what so ever..

Harsh Realm: Complete Series (Disc 1)
A month before leaving the army, Lieutenant Tom Hobbes is rousted from bed in the middle of the night and takenitoia secret location for one last mission: test a simulated virtual reality game used to teach situation war strategy. After being briefed on the top-secret project, code-named Harsh Realm, Hobbes is given his objective: eliminate Major Omar Santiago, who has taken the game hostage. But upon entering Harsh Realm, Hobbes discovers he is trapped there - and theideadly game will never end unless he completes his mission.
My Thoughts:
Another set I got for Christmas... this is a series that I have never seen a single episode of... but knew I wanted to check out the moment I heard it was created by Chris Carter... the same person that created the hit "The X-Files". Of course where it was canceled so quickly.... and never seeing an episode I did not let my hopes get too high. After watching the pilot episode I felt that I stumbled onto a great series here. There was even a recognizable face (and a voice)... First there was a cameo appearance of Lance Henriksen.... then as a narrator of a video there was the voice of Gillian Anderson... I am a fan of both these actors so this was a pleasant surprise.
I originally figured I would only watch 1 to 2 episodes at a time since there was so few episodes.(only 9)... but it turned out I just couldn't help myself... I ended up watching the whole first disc! I am getting hooked on this show!... It is the perfect combination of Sci-fi and War. After only 4 episodes I think I found another series that was canceled way before it's time.

JAG: Season 4 (Disc 6)
Come aboard for more military justice and non-stop action as all 24 episodes of 'JAG''s fourth season arrive on DVD for the very first time! Their search for the truth takes the JAG team of lawyers around the world, but what happens at home this season rivals any investigation. Harm Rabb (David James Elliot) considers leaving "Mac" (Catherine Bell) behind when his dream of becoming a pilot is realized, just as Admiral Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) welcomes a new attorney to the 'JAG' team. But it's Bud (Patrick Labyorteaux) and Harriet (Kari Turner) with the biggest news of all - the birth of their son! 'JAG' is back and ready for action!
My Thoughts:
I said it before... and I will say it again... I don't know what it is about him... but I just don't like the new character in this season... Brumby... I don't know what it is about him... but there is something about him that rubs me the wrong way! This is the final disc in the season... and all the episodes on the disc was really good. But I have to admit my favorite part had to be when Harriet had her baby. At least I don't have to wait to long for season 5... it will be released the end of January.... and yes I already have my copy pre-ordered.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed the first disc so much that I just had to watch the next disc! 8 more hilarious episodes. The last episode I watched was one where Brock and BJ got married. I have a funny feeling that the end of this season we will have an episode of both BJ and Cheyanne giving birth in the same episode. Will see on the next disc if I am right.

With all the outrageous domestic obstacles thrown in her path, Reba realizes one thing for sure: life will never be the same in this dysfunctional household!
My Thoughts:
I just couldn't help myself... I had to see how this first season ended. I said above that I thought we would see the two births in the season finale episode... but I was wrong... BJ had her baby a few episodes before the season finale. But they did save the birth of Cheyenne's baby for the finale. I have to admit... this show has me hooked... I have a feeling it won't take me too long to get to... and finish season 2. Matter of fact I will probably go ahead and order seasons 3 and 4 when I make my next DVD order. And then hope we will see seasons 5 and 6 released before too long... though that does seem to be a long shot.

My Thoughts:
I couldn't wait any longer to start watching this set. Another one of my all time favorite shows. I think what got me in the mood to start watching this set was finishing off season 4 of JAG... since this is a spin-off from that series. Disc had some great episodes. Enjoyed every minute of it.

May want to keep in mind... not sure how good you are with accents and such... but this series takes place in Texas... so there is a thick Texan accent/Southern drawl to some of the characters.I usually do not have any problems with accents in movies and TV shows. Just another reason for checking this series out. And that now, when I have set myself a budget limit on DVD purchases for this year ;D
And each season also costs $20 where I usually buy my RC1 DVDs.

I usually do not have any problems with accents in movies and TV shows.I once figured that it's because it's a foreign language to us either way :laugh:
When I lived near Boston I watched a Film from New Zealand with a bunch of friends (yes, Bad Taste which lovemunkey187 is looking for in another thread...). While it sounded funny to me I still could follow most of it quite easily yet my American friends were complaining about that accent :hysterical: Same happened with Thelma & Louise where my friend had more trouble with than me, it appeared.

Reba: Season 2 (Disc 1: Side A)
Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) knew divorce wasn't going to be easy -- she just hadn't anticipated how much her ex-husband's new wife would want to be part of "the family." On top of that, Reba learns that her married daughter isn't going to be moving out of the house with her new husband and baby daughter as planned. Now, with no breadwinner in the house, Reba realizes she'd rather accept a job working for her ex-husband than apply for food stamps. But no matter how hard she tries to make family life run smoothly, Reba soon realizes there's just no darn way to please everyone!
My Thoughts:
I just had to see if there would be much of a change to the feel of the series once the babies were born... after all... the 2 pregnancies was a huge part of the first season... and what the series was about. So I was a little concerned it would put a damper on things once the babies arrived. But there was no need for concern. The show hasn't missed a step going into the slightly different circumstances. So far I watched the first side of the first disc... which is 4 episodes... and it is still just as funny as season 1 was. I do want to slow down on watching these somewhat though (if I can)... that way my collection will last me a little longer... so I will now only watch a side at a time instead of a disc at a time. And I am almost sure I will be ordering seasons 3 & 4 on my next order.

- NCIS: Season 4 (Discs 2-6[/b]
This completes the set.
- Reba: Season 2 (Discs 1B-3B
When I decided to order the next 2 seasons I went ahead and watched the rest of season 2. Now that I finished watching it I am really glad I did order season 3 & 4... as season 2 left off with a cliffhanger.
- Veronica Mars: Season 3 (Discs 1-3)
This is another series I was completely hooked on that I feel was canceled too soon. I would have liked to see season 4 with Veronica in the FBI.
And now.. since I got my new shipment of DVDs...

Fly home this animated powerhouse today!
My Thoughts:
Now this one is a blast from my past. I used to love all the different incarnations of the Super Friends when I was a kid. So far I watched the first 6 episodes (of 16)... and I still enjoying it today. definitely not as much as I did way back when... but as you grow older naturally things change on how you look at stuff. This was the first series that had the super hero Firestorm. He used to be my favorite in this series. I still like him a lot on here... but not like I did. Was there anything he couldn't do? I mean come on... they made him to the point that he could handle any and all circumstances alone. Six episodes in... and I am yet to see a weakness of his. But all is good... still enjoying every episode.

Reba: Season 3 (Disc 1A)
First Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) had to get used to the fact that her husband of twenty years left her to marry his young dental assistant. Now she has to face the fact that her youngest daughter wants to go live with her ex-husband and his new wife! Hurt and angry, Reba struggles to accept her daughter's decision. But when her son also starts spending more time at his father's house, Reba fears she's losing her whole family. Although with her ex-husband's new wife constantly showing up asking for advice, Reba soon realizes that losing family is the last thing she needs to worry about!
My Thoughts:
You know I couldn't wait long to see how that cliffhanger ended up. The first side on disc 1 only had 3 episodes on it. But as with the first 2 seasons... each episode was as funny... or funnier then the last. This is a great sitcom that I am thrilled I finally started to watch. The only extra on disc 1: side 1 is a commentary track on one of the episodes with Reba and the girl that played BJ. I haven't listened to that yet though.

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
Exactly one year after being brutally murdered, rock musician Eric Draven returns to Earth, searching for a way to right what has been wronged and to reunite with his missing soul-mate Shelly Webster. Guided by a mystical Spirit Crow, he is neither living nor dead, possessing strange new powers to aid him in his search for revenge which, ultimately, must become a quest for redemption.
The legend of "The Crow" began as a popular comic series by James O'Barr, and grew into a sensation with the release of the feature films. In the 1998-1999 season, "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" became a successful television series starring world-wide action star and martial arts expert MARK DACASCOS ('Brotherhood of the Wolf', 'John Woo's Stranglehold', 'Iron Chef America'). The critically acclaimed series was developed for television anmd executive produced by TV feature writer/producer BRYCE ZABEL ('Mortal Kombat Annihilation', 'The Poseidon Adventure', 'Dark Skies'). All 22 hours of the original episodes have been collected into this five-DVD set.
My Thoughts:
This set was a complete blind buy for me. Never even knew they made a TV Series off the movie till I spotted this set on sale. It was pretty cheap so figured why not. The first disc of the set has 5 episodes. Well... I went into this one not expecting too much... but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the story. And it has a lot of great action. I love all the martial arts in it. I really can't compare the series to the movie...because to be completely honest... I haven't seen the movie in many years. But watching this series makes me want to watch it again. Now I am really looking forward to watching the rest of the set. I even have my mother looking forward to this show... as she is a huge martial arts fan herself. And no worry with the supernatural twist for her... she also really enjoyed Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Medium: Season 3 (Disc 1)
In the hit "unreality show" starring Patricia Arquette, Allison Dubois is a woman haunted by dreams who helps District Attorney Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) and detective Lee Scanlon (David Cubitt) by using her mind to uncover the dark secrets of vicious killers.
But this season, other forces threaten her husband Joe (Jake Weber) and oldest daughters Ariel (Sofia Vassilieva) and Bridgette (Maria Lark). But how can she refuse to listen to the dead when they call out to her in her dreams?
Experience all the drama and psychic energy in this 6-disc set, which includes all 21 episodes of Medium: The Third Season!
My Thoughts:
Revisiting the 3rd season's episodes. The first disc contains the first 3 episodes as the first episode was double-length. This is another series that I have been hooked on every since the pilot episode originally aired. The other day I watched the first episode of season 4... and that was all it took to get me in the mood to watch some of this set. This series has made me a fan of Patricia Arquette.... but this new shorter hair that she has in the 3rd and 4th season has to go! She looks much better with long hair... in my opinion.

Reba: Season 4
It takes a lot of heart to keep a family like this one together. Country music superstar Reba McIntyre is back as Reba Hart, and as always, keeping the peace in her household is one hilarious challenge after another. Amid Brock and Barbara Jean's marital troubles, Cheyenne's personal struggles, Van's career crisis, and Kyra's growing pains, Reba somehow manages to keep the whole family functioning at a level just above dysfunctional. A little love, it turns out, goes a long way. Vibrant, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny, Season Four of Reba has it all!
My Thoughts:
I watched the entire 4th season in only 2 days. This has become a show that once I started to watch... I just can't stop. The season ended on a rather dramatic note for a sitcom. If they see fit to release the final 2 seasons I would be getting it right away. Considering the final season was so short... I would like to see seasons 5 and 6 released together... in a single set would be cool.

The Very Best of One Step Beyond (Eps. 1-3)
Produced during the same time-frame as the more recognized 'Twilight Zone', this series capitalized on the country's burgeoning interest in paranormal mysteries in a unique fashion. Instead of developing fictional stories with supernatural plots, this series presented 'real-life' incidents from a dimension beyond our understanding, including spirits, disappearances, fantastic creatures, etc., and re-creating them for each episode. There were no easy answers to these mysteries, and audiences could only wonder in bewilderment 'what if it's real?'
My Thoughts:
This is a show I bought as a complete Blind Buy... never even heard of it till I found this set. It has 50 Episodes (of 99 total episodes) from the series. Since I enjoy "The Twilight Zone" so much... I had to check it out... especially since it was an extremely cheap set... got the set of just over $8.00 so figured I couldn't go wrong. So far I watched the first 3 episodes... and the series seems very good... extremely similar to "The Twilight Zone"... but of course a different host. The quality isn't that great... so far has very good sound... but the video quality leaves some to be desired. But when it comes to a series as old as this... on a set as cheap as this... that is something to be expected. It isn't so bad where it is a pain to watch.... there just seems that there wasn't too much work done to restore this classic series.

Tales from the Crypt: Season 4 (Discs 2-3)
Monsters. Madness. Mayhem. BAD PUNS! What kind of bonehead would do this? Oh, that kind of bonehead: the Crypt Keeper.
Yes, for the beast in humor and horror, this is it: all 14 complete, uncut Season 4 episodes hosted by that netherworld naughty boy, the Crypt Keeper. Offered four your warped amusement are Split Personality, with a lounge lizard getting more than he bargins four when he marries identical twins; Werewolf Concerto, with Timothy Dalton on the hunt four a lupine fiend; Beauty Rest, with Mimi Rogers as an actress who'd kill four a part. Plus Brad Pitt, Treat Williams, Cathy Moriarty and other starry surprises are here four more fright-'n'-fun tales. Did we mention these are all in Season 4? Go four it!
My Thoughts:
I have loved this series since it first appeared on HBO. So far I have 6 of th 7 seasons... but I am now just finishing off season 4. One of my favorite things about this series (other then the obvious horror stories) is all the guest stars they get to appear. These 2 discs definitely had their share of big names. These 2 discs alone (celebrities familiar to me at least) had...
- Joan Severance
- Zelda Rubenstein
- Robert Patrick
- Brad Pitt
- Joe Pesci
- Burt Young
- Timothy Dalton

Tales from the Crypt: Season 5 (Disc 1)
Tomb it may concern. Yes, you. No one else is reading this, right? Besides, you're the ideal person for this happily haunted collection of scares and silliness -- someone warm and bleeding. Sorry, 'breathing'.
The Cryptkeeper delivers more keepers (and terrorific Spookcial Feartures) with this atmosfearic Season 5. Ready to delight your feverishly warped mind are 'Forever Ambergris', with Steve Buscemi and Roger Daltrey portraying war photographers; 'Two for the Show', with Traci Lords, David Paymer and Vincent Spano embroiled in a tale of wife and death; 'Well Cooked Hams', with Martin Sheen and Billy Zane putting hocus pocus in focus as rival magicians; plus 10 more eerie encounters of fate, fiends and flat-out funniness. Lullaby and good fright, kiddies!
My Thoughts:
As I said... this is a series I have always really enjoyed. I have to admit though... even though I still enjoyed these episodes... I didn't enjoy them quite as much as I have past episodes. I don't remember if this is where the series started to go down hill or not. Actually don't remember the series ever going down hill for me. But they did keep the big names coming... this discs alone (celebrities familiar to me at least) had...
- Tim Curry
- Ed Begley, Jr.
- Yvonne DeCarlo
- Ernie Hudson
- Joan Chen
- Bill Paxton
- Brad Dourif

Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection (Season 2: Disc 3)

Travel to another dimension of sight and sound again and again through these stunning re-mastered high-definition film transfers using the original camera negatives and magnetic soundtracks.
My Thoughts:
This disc has a nice collection of episode as well as a decent collection of extras. A couple of the episodes showed some wear and tear on the video... but I tend to be forgiving here with such an old series. I really enjoyed all the episodes... and this disc gave me 4 episodes that I never seen before. Which is always fun! Actually there is a lot of episodes I never seen before... as I just recently got into classic shows... so far since buy this complete series set there has been 28 episodes I never seen before. being only partly through season 2... that is approximately half the episodes I have watched so far.

Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection
This one is, but will probably forever be on my wishlist. Unfortunately I do not like to spend over $200 on a blind buy at once :laugh:
Even the single seasons for about 50 bucks are relatively expensive. And I fear that I will be disappointed with the series. I do not watch a lot classic TV shows.
I liked the 2002 version though. But at the cost of under $20 for the whole season/series I didn't have to think twice about purchasing it ;)
Post by: addicted2dvd on January 22, 2008, 12:48:58 AM
BTW... I also have the 2002 version of the series... liked it very much... and there was even a couple of episodes that actually are remakes of the episodes from the original series. :)

My Thoughts:
Several more good episode as well as a decent collection of extras. I really enjoyed all the episodes once again... This time around there was only two episodes I never seen before. So far since buy this complete series set there has been 30 episodes I never seen before. So I am really enjoying watching all these episodes I never seen before.

Travel to another dimension of sight and sound again and again through these stunning re-mastered high-definition film transfers using the original camera negatives and magnetic soundtracks.

This disc completes the second season. Another disc with plenty of really good episodes. This time 4 out of the 5 episodes on this disc I have never seen. This disc also contains lots of great extras... being the last disc of the season... even more extras then the previous 4 discs. There is a pretty good interview with Rod Serling conducted by Mike Wallace. Also had clips of Rod Serling on Tell it to Groucho and on The Jack Benny Show (which was hilarious). Plus several other extras.

My Thoughts:
This completes the second season set for me. I loved watching these episodes just as much as I did the first time around. The set had a nice collection of extras... but think my favorite extra would have to be the gag reel... for some reason I love watching the actors goof off or mess up their lines and such.... I just always have gotten a kick out of that. Now if this writer's strike would just end so I can see what will happen in season 3!

This is a set I got for Christmas... and just now getting around to watching some of. The first disc contains the first 7 episodes of the season. I enjoyed all the episodes... but especially enjoyed the Halloween episode. (Another episode I can add to my next Halloween Marathon!) This season Patricia McPherson (who plays Bonnie) comes back... after leaving the series at the end of season 1.

Just finished enjoying the last 2 discs of the 5th season. I now have 1 more here to watch... and one more season to buy. Which I think I may do next week. I do think season 5 has went a bit down-hill compared to the previous seasons... but still enjoying every minute of it. As I said in an earlier post... one of the things I love about this show is all the stars that came to do the show. These two discs had the following people that I recognized...
- Traci Lords
- Brian Krause
- Will Wheaton
- Martin Sheen
- Billy Zane
- Anthony Michael Hall
- Brooke Shields
- Lou Diamond Phillips

Gilligan's Island: Season 2 (Disc 2)
Ahoy, again! Beach yourself for Season 2 of the comedy series that's part of everyone's growing up, and you'll notice a big change. Ginger's hair is flame red. The sea is a forever blue. That's right. Season 2 is in 'color'. But one thing doesn't change for Gilligan and his pals: color them stranded.
If Gilligan and friends could vote themselves off the island, they'd do it in a heartbeat. Their loss is our gain. In 32 second-season episodes (plus DVD extras), the three-hour tour (a three-hour tour) remains comically eternai for the skipper, his first mate and five passengers embarked out of Honolulu and marooned on a remote uncharted isle. Their ship was the Minnow but their impact is colossal: 'Gilligan's Island' is one of the most frequently aired programs ever. Welcome ashore, little buddies!
My Thoughts:
This is a set I got long ago... but never watched more then the first disc. Not that this is a bad series... silly yes... but not bad. It is just one of those shows I can only watch when the mood hits. The second disc in this set had several good episodes... I especially enjoyed the episodes where Gilligan finds the seeds that when eaten makes it so you can read minds... and also the episode where the Lion makes it onto the island. I still need to buy season 3 to complete the series.

Dukes of Hazzard: Season 7 (Disc 5)
Just like peach ice cream at the church picnic, nothing lasts forever. Yup, this here is the Dukes' seventh and final lap, and Bo and Luke go out in hightailin', road-nailin' style! In these 17 good-time episodes, you'll discover how the General Lee joined the Duke family, meet Roscoe's robot replacement, see Boss Hogg turn sweeter 'n pecan pie (thanks to a head-whuppin' accident), ride back in time to 1872 Hazzard, and throw some shoes and rice at Enos and Daisy's wedding. And if'n it's just too darn hard to say goodbye to Luke, Bo, Daisy, Uncle Jesse, Enos, Cooter - and even Boss and Roscoe P. Coltrane - well, why don't y'all just start the fun all over again with Season 1 on DVD?
My Thoughts:
This is another series I grew up watching.... and I still enjoy to this day. Sure... the storylines got pretty silly by the last season. But I still enjoyed it all. The last episode of this disc is about as silly as the show gets when an Alien from Outer Space comes to visit Hazzard and becomes friends with the Dukes family. But even with such silliness I enjoyed watching it. This is a set that a good friend of mine bought me for my Birthday last year... and I still have yet to watch it all. Have 1 more disc to watch and it will be another series I completed.

8 more episodes from the 3rd season. There was a very good episode on this disc where K.I.T.T. was destroyed and had to be completely rebuilt. Which is something that happens again in the begin of season 4... but in season 4 he is completely restyled (into a convertible) and given many new functions. So looking forward to checking out season 4 again as well.

Tales from the Crypt: Season 6 (Disc 1)
It's that time of fear again! So if you've been missing the Crypt Keeper, here's a chance to improve your aim. But be warned: It'll be a fright to the finish. The cadaverous cut-up is your host for a 15-episode die-gest based on classic horror comics from back in the day and featuring a parade of characters who are variously merciless, clueless, topless and headless.
Hank Azaria, Shelley Hack, Isaac Hayes, Richard Lewis, John Lithgow, Wayne Newton, Isabella Rossellini, Rita Rudner and Humphrey Bogart (you read that right) are among the stars. And vampires, mad doctors, killers, ghosts and adulterers are eager to come out and play. We could tell you more, but that would be wrong. You do know rot from wrong, don't you?
My Thoughts:
Just watched the first 6 episodes of season 6. The show is still going pretty good... though I do feel it is not quite as good as the early seasons. But still some really good episodes. This particular disc didn't have as many people I recognized as most of the earlier ones I posted about... but there was some good guest stars... Ones I recognized includes...
- Peter MacNicol
- Rita Rudner
- Richard Lewis
- Isaac Hayes
- Terry O'Quinn
- Kimberly Williams

My Thoughts:
This completes the set... as well as the series. So another nice sized set off my unwatched shelf... always a good thing! This disc had the very last 2 episodes of the series plus a few extras... nothing special to me personally but I am sure other fans loved it... was basically a music video of the theme song performed by the stars in 2006. A making of said music video... and a documentary on Waylon Jennings who was not only the singer of the original theme... but also the narrator of the series for the entire 7 year run. As much as this series went down-hill in the last year or so... it really went out with a bang for the last 2 episodes... felt like shows of the first couple years.

Post by: addicted2dvd on February 01, 2008, 12:27:30 AM
As for did they get married... well wasn't going to spoil it for you... but since you asked... No they did not. Basically Daisy saw what she something that made her a witness against Enos... but she knew he was innocent... and the only way out of testifying that she saw was to marry him because a wife can not testify against her own husband. Of course the Duke Boys saves the day before she has to go through with it... Daisy was still willing to marry him... but Enos couldn't go through with it. (which was surprising as much in love with her he always was).

This disc completes the 3rd season. enjoyed the episodes... but it satisfied the cravings for this show for a while. So I won't have to watch the 4th season right away. Unfortunately the only extra on this set is an episode from the 4th season... so there really was no sense to watch that since I have the season 4 boxset.

Twin Peaks: The Definitive Gold Box Edition (Disc 1)
When Laura Palmer is found brutally murdered, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) soon discover that in the town of Twin Peaks no one is innocent and nothing is what it seems.
SIGHTS UNSEEN AND SOUNDS UNHEARD...UNTIL NOW.
For the first time ever, the entire groundbreaking 'Twin Peaks' television series, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, has been compiled for you to own and relish, taking you deeper into the woods than ever before.
My Thoughts:
OK... I couldn't help myself... the first of my new sets I had to check out is Twin Peaks... I been curios about this series for quite a while. So far I only watched the first disc... which only includes the pilot movie... 2 versions of it... original and international. I watched the original version... maybe I will check out the international one after I finish watching the set. I thought it would be best to watch it as it originally aired.
After watching this pilot movie... all I can say is... DAMN! Hooked on another series! Just going from the pilot I have to think this is going to be an awesome series. I do enjoy a good murder mystery/Crime show... and this one looks to be that. But it looks to be even more then that. At the beginning of the pilot I thought to myself... damn... this looks like a good story... but this town of people seems very weird. So I was thinking that this weirdness might through me off the series some... but it didn't... it really works for the show... not against it at all! About mid way through the pilot I found myself really enjoying all the weirdness... or should I say little quirks of the people of Twin Peaks. This is bound to be a really enjoyable series... one that I am afraid I will find myself working my way through... way too fast!

The Ray Bradbury Theater (Episodes 1-5)
Entranced by magicians, comic strips and science fiction magazines, Ray Bradbury began "educating" himself at the Los Angeles Library three to five times a week. By 27 years of age he "graduated," having written several million words. In his early twenties, he supported himself by selling newspapers on street corners and writing for radio programs such as Suspense, Escape, CBS Radio Playhouse, and X Minus One. Bradbury has now written over three thousand short stories -- 400 of which have been published in such magazines as The New Yorker, the New Republican, The Saturday Evening Post, Amazing Stories, Colliers, Dime Detective, and McCall's. He has also written for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and for Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone.
And now, showcased in this 5-DVD set are some of Ray Bradbury's finest works, featuring a plethora of stars like: 'Drew Barrymore', 'Jeff Goldb,um', 'Peter O'Toole', 'Sally Kellerman', 'Eugene Levy', 'Shelley Duval', 'Elliot Gould', 'Ray Sharkey', and, of course, 'William Shatner' (Captain Kirk - Star Trek).
My Thoughts:
This is a good series that started on HBO and then moved to Sci-Fi Channel in (I think) Season 3. After 2 very short seasons on HBO. I am enjoying watching these episodes again after all these years. It is actually hard to believe this series is a good 20some years old already. I have the 5 disc set... which has all 65 episodes of the series. Unfortunately that is 5 single sided discs... meaning there is a good 12 to 13 episodes per disc... on a single side of the disc. So even though it is a decent picture (with some noticeable problems)... the quality could be better.
The last episode I watched had a 10 year old Drew Barrymore. Even then she did a great job. She played a young girl who heard a woman screaming from in an empty lot. Convinced there was a woman buried alive... she tried to get help... but no one would believe her.. thinking it was all in her mind since she reads Tales from the Crypt comic books. That was episode #5 in the set... and so far I have to say my favorite episode.

My Thoughts:
Wow! I got so hooked on this show. I actually watched the whole rest of the set! Twin Peaks has turned into a very addicting show for me. I do still need to watch the prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me... and will probably do that at some point in the next couple days. I was afraid that after they solved who killed Laura Palmer that I wouldn't get back into the show... and it did take a turn for the worst there for a couple episodes... but then I quickly got into the new storyline.
Seeing how the series ending... I so wish there was a third season! So many possibilities... so many questions left unanswered. Oh well... another series that I feel ended too soon.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
In this compelling film prequel to the phenomenal TV series, director David Lynch ('Mulholland Drive', 'Blue Velvet') takes us to the town of damn good coffee and cherry pie.
Two federal agents (Kyle MacLachlan, TV's "Sex and The City" and Chris Isaak, TV's "The Chris Isaak Show") arrive in Twin Peaks and unravel the bizarre clues, mysterious disappearances and strange happenings that lead to the death of local girl Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee, 'John Carpenter's Vampires').
Co-starring Kiefer Sutherland (TV's "24") and David Bowie, 'Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me' plunges deep beneath the facade of a town where nothing is as it seems.
My Thoughts:
After being hooked on the series I was in a hurry to watch the prequel movie. Though don't think I should have been in such a hurry. I mean it was ok... but I wouldn't had cared if I missed it. To me... it had just as much of the weirdness... but without the charm I found in the series. It was worth the first viewing... but not sure if I will watch it again or not.

Tales from the Crypt: Season 6 (Discs 2-3)
It's that time of fear again! So if you've been missing the Crypt Keeper, here's a chance to improve your aim. But be warned: It'll be a fright to the finish. The cadaverous cut-up is your host for a 15-episode die-gest based on classic horror comics from back in the day and featuring a parade of characters who are variously merciless, clueless, topless and headless.

And vampires, mad doctors, killers, ghosts and adulterers are eager to come out and play. We could tell you more, but that would be wrong. You do know rot from wrong, don't you?
My Thoughts:
These episodes are not quite as good as the early seasons... but at this point there is still a good handful of great episodes mixed in. I especially enjoyed 2 of them that I watched at this go around... "Doctor of Horror" Which is about a mad scientist stealing the souls of recently dead people... and "Comes the Dawn" which is about some bear poachers that get trapped by vampire... in Alaska where the night lasts for months at a time. As I stated earlier... one thing I always loved is a the special guest appearance in the show. I was thinking that starting in season 6 the number of note-worthy guests had dwindled down quite a bit for some reason. At least for names I recognized. But then after watching these 2 discs I had seen several people I recognized again. (Some reason Disc 1 didn't have many I knew). Anyway for the rest of season 6 I recognized...

Warner Brothers Commemorative DVD Vol. 8: Shazam
1. The Joyriders
A young man must figure out what to do when his friends insist on stealing cars and going on joy rides. Moral: It's important to do what you know is right, and not get conned into doing something dumb just because somebody calls you names. It often takes more courage to do what's right than to go along with the crowd
My Thoughts:
After Brittany and myself finished off "The Secrets of Isis"... I remembered that I had the pilot episode of "Shazam!" on a disc I got free with one of the Warner Brother sets... so we decided to watch that so Brittany could at least get a taste of what his show was like as well. She really enjoyed it... and like me... she hopes that the series is released on DVD before too long.

Tales from the Crypt: Season 7
GREETINGS, FIENDS! The last time you saw the Crypt Keeper...wait, this is the last time. So turn out the frights, the party's over. They say all ghoul things must end. But let the ghoul times roll one gleeful last time with these 13 terrorific tales based on those classic moldy-but-goodie horror comics from back when. Among the die-lights: Natasha Richardson is a lawyer planning 'A Fatal Caper', Ewan McGregor gets down and zombie for a 'Cold War' and Daniel Craig finds out how the sneaky, freaky ad biz really works in 'Smoke Wrings'. Well, time's up. Past our deadtime. Never say die, kiddies (although we just did). It's the final season!
My Thoughts:
For the final season the series moved to England... and this turned out to be a very good thing as the episodes seemed to get a fresh start and felt like episodes of old once again. I really enjoyed most all 13 episodes... but it did come with a price for me. As I am not familiar with the talent there... there was no recognizable stars at all for me in the final season. But that is a minimal price to pay for some new and fresh episodes.

Knight Rider: Season 4 (Disc 1)
Adventure goes into overdrive as the amped fourth and final season of 'Knight Rider' blasts onto DVD! Buckle up with lone crusader Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and his tricked-out sidekick, K.I.T.T., in all 21 digitally remastered high-octane episodes. From ancient terrorist cults to a deadly bacteria outbreak, Michael and K.I.T.T. are there to put the skids on evildoers wherever they may be. Available on DVD for the first time ever, 'Knight Rider: Season Four' includes a special great '80s TV flashback featurette that takes a fun look back at television's greatest decade, the eighties. With electrifying guest performances by Janine Turner, Lance Burton, Shelly Berman and more, you won't want to miss a minute of the thrilling action!
My Thoughts:
What can I say.... after the revival movie that aired last week I was once again in the mood for some of the classic Knight Rider episodes. this first disc has the first 8 episodes of the final season. I remembered back that I wasn't too happy about the changes made to K.I.T.T. for the final season... but now watching it again... it is not as bad as I remembered. I definitely like the new cast member (RC3)... I love the convertible top he put on Kit. But the big change... the "Super Pursuit Mode"... that one didn't impress me much. I like the speed it added to K.I.T.T. But didn't like the look he transformed into to get it. And I thought the new breaking system out of Super Pursuit Mode looked pretty ridiculous. But I found myself forgiving it more now then I did when I originally saw it when I was a kid.

This is one of those Best of Discs that Columbia House had way back before TV Shows on DVD became so popular. Once the season sets came out... a friend of mine sent me all the Columbia House discs he had. The episodes on this disc are all from the earlier seasons... and all of them were fun episodes. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe), Dale Arden (Carol Hughes) and Dr. Zarkov must once again go to the planet Mongo and fight the evil emperor Ming (Charles Middleton) in this third of the Flash Gordon serials. Tracing the source of the "Purple Death" to Mongo, our group of adventurers flies to there in Dr. Zarkov's rocket where they discover that Emperor Ming, whom they believed had been killed at the end of their last battle is still alive. He is threatening to not only conquer all of Mongo, but also is attacking Earth again, using a "Death Dust" spread by his spaceships that will eventually destroy everyone on Earth. Old allies and new assist Flash in stopping Ming's efforts and saving the Earth.
My Thoughts:
I watched this movie serial today. Yes... the whole 4hr serial. I know most serial fans would chastise me for watching it in such a matter... but that is ok... I am an impatient person... and that is the whole point of DVDs... what what you want when you want... including how much of it you want.
This is the second Flash Gordon serial I watched. The first one just being Flash Gordon: Space Soldiers. I enjoyed this one just as much as I did the first one. I must admit though... when I started this serial first thing this morning.... my daughter came in to say goodbye before heading off to school... and asked what in the world I was watching. She knows about serials and has watched a couple with me already. But when I told her what this one was... she asked... What is Flash Gordon!?! I must admit.. I felt old... as Flash Gordon is really before my time... but I at least grew up knowing who he is. But it looks like I know what to show her next time around!
This being one of those cheap public domain sets the quality is less then perfect to be sure. But it is definitely watchable with little annoying interruptions. Chapter 4 was the worst it got... with some picture interruption... and then it was still watchable. then in the final chapter for about 30 seconds the picture wanted to slightly role. But over all I can't complain... especially considering I got this serial plus one other in a boxset for only $5.99... the other serial with it being The Green Archer.

This being one of those cheap public domain sets the quality is less then perfect to be sure.The boxset release by image entertainment is suppose to have the best quality (at least that's what I read everywhere). It is not very costly 14.99$ new at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Gordon-Soldiers-Conquers-Universe/dp/B00004Y2QO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1203970846&sr=1-2) and you got all the Flash Gordon serial.

Scrubs: Season 2
Make an appointment with 'Scrubs'. Nominated for two Emmy® Awards in its second year, the hilarious sitcom is "irreverent and wildly inventive," raves 'TV Guide'.
Will J.D. get together with Elliot, and will Carla finally accept Turk's wedding proposal? The wacky staff of Sacred Heart Hospital is back, and they've brought along some guest stars (Heather Locklear, Tom Cavanagh and John Ritter) for a booster shot of laughs.
Enjoy all 22 episodes of 'Scrubs' sensational second season - with the original, unedited music. Overflowing with great bonus features, including a one on one with John C. McGinley, outtakes and deleted scenes, this spectacular DVD box set offers the best kind of contagious comedy.
My Thoughts:
Wow!... I don't know what it really is about this show... but once I start watching it I just can not stop! I actually watched the whole second season in a day and a half since getting it yesterday afternoon! There is just something about this show that tickles me... even though I know the comedy in Scrubs is immature to say the least. I think Sarah Chalke is great in this show. In one episode her character's father came to visit her in the hospital... and the only thing that I could think of was how funny it would have been if they could have gotten John Goodman for the role since she did play Becky on the sitcom Roseanne for a year. Anyway... it is a great set... I enjoyed every second of it... and it has a nice collection of extras... even though I didn't check them all out yet. The only extra I checked out was the blooper reel. Which of course was fun.

The Green Archer
The struggle over a family estate ends up with one brother accused of murder and apparently killed on the way to prison, while the other brother takes control of the estate for his own nefarious plans. The estate is being used by the evil brother as a base for his jewelry theft ring and he kidnaps his brother's wife to keep things quiet. Will the efforts of the woman's family be successful in freeing her and what does the mysterious Green Archer have to do with solving this case?
My Thoughts:
Well.... took me 3 days... but finally got through this movie serial. I really enjoyed it a lot... though I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the Superman and the Batman serials. One thing... not that it really bugged me... but did make it a little confusing was that there was more then one Green Archer... the real Green Archer and a bad guy that dressed as the Green Archer. There was no really big reveal on who the real Green Archer was... I mean they let us know... but it wasn't a surprise. They went with the most obvious choice. So much so that I figured out who he was in the very first chapter. But over-all definitely a fun watch that I am sure I will enjoy again. The quality was definitely lacking. There was a light hissing noise in the audio through-out the entire serial. And there was a few minor video problems here and there as well. But when you get a boxset of 2 movie serials for only $5.99 you really don't expect pristine quality.

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (Disc 1)
The world's favorite western/sci-fi/comedy/action cult hit rides again! Here on 8 discs is the complete series about Brisco (Bruce Campbell), a tough-as-rawhide cowpoke, debonair ladies' man and Harvard-educated smarty-britches who roams from Frisco to Jalisco in pursuit of outlaws who killed his father...and in search of a mysterious orb possessing out-of-this world powers. Hot lead and cool anachronisms await Brisco as he and his sidekicks - including Comet, the intellectual equine who doesn't know he's a horse - fight for justice in the way, way, way-out West. Put your boots in your stirrups, your tongue in your cheek and join the fun. Let's play cowboys and aliens.
My Thoughts:
Being a big fan of Bruce Campbell's... I just couldn't resist when I found this set on sale for just under $25! It was a complete Blind Buy... so I just couldn't wait to get my first taste of the show. The first disc has the pilot movie and the next 2 episodes. I have to say.. I already love every minute of it! It is lots of fun in the normal Bruce Campbell style. I can hardly wait to watch some more of it!

Prison Break: Season 1 (Discs 1-2)
Most men would do anything to get out of Fox River Penitentiary, but Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) will do anything to get in. His brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) has been sentenced to die for a crime he did not commit, and the only way to save him is from the inside out.
Armed with prison blueprints and an impossibly intricate escape plan, Michael gets himself incarcerated, and the race against time is on. Now, he'll need all of the cunning, daring, and luck he can muster...along with the assistance of some of the prison's most vile and dangerous felons.
My Thoughts:
OK... just what I needed. Another series to be hooked on! I already watched 8 episodes of this series... and each episode makes you not want to wait to see the next. Well I am going to be strong here... and put the set to the side for about a week now so that I don't end up watching this series all at once. I really like the brothers in this show... and can't wait to see how/if they make it out of there. I was also surprised to see that Robin Tunney co-stars in this series... I really liked her in the movie "The Craft" where she played a young witch. OK... forcing myself to put this set away now. :P

The Addams Family: Vol. 2 (Disc 1 Side A)
They're baaaack! The Addams Family, TV's most frightfully funny family returns for more creepy capers and hair-raising hilarity, terrifying their neighbors and delighting viewers like never before! The Addams Family Volume 2 features the ghoulish gang in fine form: Gomez runs for mayor, Lurch becomes a pop star, Uncle Fester turns Pugsley into a chimp, and Cousin It loses his hair! And that's just the beginning! So, turn down the lights and prepare yourself for the ghastly giddiness of The Addams Family... They really are a scream!
My Thoughts:
I always enjoyed this classic sitcom. It is one that I got my daughter, Brittany hooked on. So much so that I ended up with the entire series... even though I only bought the first volume. I bought Volume 1 and Brittany watched and fell in love with the show. Then she turned around and bought me volume 2 for Fathers Day this past year... then she bought me vol. 3 this past Christmas. So I thought that was pretty cool... I ended only having to buy the first set.
I always see people saying they either prefer this one over "The Munsters"... or prefer "The Munsters" over "The Addams Family"... well I am one of the (apparent) few that really enjoy both series. Even though I am yet to get "The Munsters" sets... I do plan on it.
It was really good watching these episodes again... some of these episodes I have not seen in many years... others I don't remember at all. I only caught the show in re-runs (of course... since the show aired before I was born)... so it is very possible there is episodes I have never seen... which is always a plus.

Hunter: Season 2 (Disc 1)
Get ready to reload as L.A. homicide detective Rick Hunter ('Fred Dryer') and his partner Dee Dee McCall ('Stepfanie Kramer') return to toss out the rulebook and blow away every other cop show on TV! In this explosive second season, Hunter and McCall take on deadly heists, killer porn stars, gangland murders, international terrorists, street hookers, punk rockers, McCall's rapist and more. 'Bruce Davison' co-stars as Captain Wyler in the legendary Saturday night series that shot down all critics to become one of the hottest action hits in television history!
'HUNTER: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON' features all 23 episodes - including the shocking two-part 'Rape & Revenge' - with such guest stars as 'Robert Englund', 'Jane Russell', 'Robert Davi', 'Stuart Whitman', 'Kay Lenz', 'Sheryl Lee Ralph', 'John Matuszak' and 'Isaac Hayes'.
My Thoughts:
This show was one of my many TV Series Blind Buys. I bought the first 3 seasons all at once when I found them on a buy 1 get 1 free sale. I wouldn't say this is the best cop show I ever seen... but it is definitely a good one. I enjoyed it. It is worth checking out if you like cop shows.

Post by: Najemikon on March 14, 2008, 11:37:36 AM
Ha! "Spud" is "Potato"; "Jacket" means it's been baked in its skin, no peeling at all. You take your spud (large sized), stab it, bake it, cut it open, add butter, possibly cheese. Then add more toppings. Beans is fave of mine. In local towns you can often find a street seller with a portable oven responding favourably to cries of "Jacket spud, cheese and beans!" :laugh:

OK... so I couldn't help myself... I just had to see what happens next... and once I popped in the 3rd disc I just could not stop watching. I watched it all the way to the end of the season!

This completes another Three's Company set. One of my favorite classic sitcoms. Really enjoyed this season. The last disc on this set had a few of my favorite episodes in it. The extras on this disc wasn't to much special... just the normal best of the season clips per each of th main cast... including a 26 minute clip featurette on Don Knotts.

Stacked: The Complete Series
You can't judge a bookstore by its covergirl, especially when she happens to be Pamela Anderson! Anderson stars as drop-dead sexy Skyler Dayton, a reformed party girl in need of a lifestyle makeover, who takes a job at a family-run bookstore called "Stacked Books." Determined to prove she has ample talent beyond her ample talents, Skyler dazzles the employees and customers with her sweet-natured charm and refreshing honesty. This hip, hilarious comedy also features guest appearances by super-hotties Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy and includes 5 unaired episodes that can finally be revealed. You'll bust out laughing!
My Thoughts:
This is a set that was recommended to me by both a friend of mine... as well as one of my brothers. I went into this one not expecting much at all. And to be honest... I wasn't expecting it to have much more to offer other then sex jokes and Pamela Anderson showing off her assets. Well the series didn't offer much more then that... as it was pretty much as I expected. BUT the series doesn't pretend to be anything more then that... it does not take itself seriously and just has fun with what it actually is. And to me... that right there gives it a little something more. It is a fun series... especially if when you watch it... you have no problem with just leaving your brain out of it and just enjoy it for what it actually is.... sex jokes and Pamela Anderson showing off her body as much as the censors will allow. I also enjoyed the fact that Christopher Lloyd is in the series... I always enjoyed him and in this series he plays a retired scientist with a few funny quirks of his own.

Masters of Horror: The Damned Thing
Twenty-four years ago, outside a small Texas town, young Kevin Reddle watched helplessly as his oilman father brutally slaughtered his mother before being torn apart by an invisible force. Today the county Sheriff, Kevin ('Sean Patrick Flanery' of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS) remains haunted by memories of that night and the fear that "the damned thing" may someday return. Now as the citizens of Cloverdale explode into a homicidal frenzy, the one man who has uncovered the truth is about to meet his own horrific destiny. 'Marisa Coughlan' ('BOSTON LEGAL') and 'Ted Raimi' (THE GRUDGE) co-star in this blood-soaked shocker written by 'Richard Christian Matheson' from the classic short story by 'Ambrose Bierce'.
My Thoughts:
Today I finally got around to watching the last episode of Masters of Horror that I never seen before. After watching this episode I can now say, without a doubt, that The V Word is my favorite of all the Masters of Horror episodes... but this one is not to far behind. I really enjoyed this episode. I can't say that this one has an extreme amount of gore in it (unlike episodes like Pelts) but it don't shy away from the gore either. So if you are not a fan of the gore... there is a few scenes you may want to close your eyes for. Over-all I really enjoyed the entire Masters of Horror series.... it is a shame that it has been canceled. I would have loved to seen even 1 more season.

Dead Alive
Throw out all your preconceptions about the limits of horror! A new standard has been set with Dead Alive - The Mother of All Horror Films.
On a quiet street, in a small town, pure evil has come to stay. Lionel, an innocent young man, is forced to care for his domineering mother and finds the task a whole lot more demanding after she's bitten by the cursed Sumatran rat monkey. Passing the point of death, Lionel's mother sucks friends and family into her gruesome existence among the living dead and Lionel is sent spiraling into a goulish nightmare.
Now a crazed zombie, she soon infects enough people to make it difficult for Lionel, still the faithful son, to keep the neighbors from suspecting that something is terribly wrong.
Dead Alive is dripping with state-of-the-art special effects that feature mutilations, rock 'n roll dismemberments and household appliances, combining into the most bizarre ending ever filmed.
My Thoughts:
Ok... this movie was suggested to me over and over again. I had multiple people tell me that this is a must see movie. I think in this case I may have allowed people to hype it up just too much for me. I mean it was an OK movie... but not much more then that in my opinion. Definitely had it's moments... some funny scenes... and plenty of gore. Only problem is a good portion of that gore was so unrealistic it was almost cartoon-ish. As I said... it had it's moments... but while watching it all I could think of is everyone is going nuts over THIS... I just don't get it. But I am not sorry I have it in my collection... especially since it cost me nothing. And I can see myself watching it again here and there for a few laughs. But I personally don't see the cult following on this one.

My Thoughts:You do realize it's a comedy...? The laughs are on purpose. The cartoon-ish special effects are on purpose. If you expected anything else, you were doomed for disappointment from the get-go.

LOL... yes I did realize it was a comedy from the start. I believe it just didn't live up to the expectations that all the people built up for me when they suggested this title to me.
That's the problem with getting too many recommendations for a movie. I was fortunate to see Bad Taste out of a few friends very insisting recommendations, but discovered Dead Alive and Meet The Feebles on my own.
I must say Dead Alive and Meet The Feebles were the cream of the crop because I didn't have any expectations going into them.

Dexter: Season 1
Led by an amazing performance by Emmy®-nominated actor Michael C. Hall ('Six Feet Under'), 'Dexter' is one of the most critically acclaimed, must-see television shows of the year! Like no other crime drama you've seen before, this horrifying and intoxicating DVD includes all 12 riveting Season One episodes and a host of delightfully twisted special features.
My Thoughts:
This is another show I got completely addicted to. Once I started on this show... IO just could not stop. It is an absolutely amazing show. I got so hooked on this show that not only did I watch this season 1 boxset (12 episodes)... after I finished it I went to Showtime On-Demand and watched all of season 2 (12 episodes). And now I seriously can not wait for it to return for season 3. Unfortunately I haven't found a date for it's return yet. Anyway... if you never seen this show.. it is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Bionic Woman: Vol. 1 (Disc 1)
Join one of TV's most stunning breakout heroines as the action-packed series 'Bionic Woman' leaps into DVD! From executive producer David Eick ('Battlestar Galactica') comes this gripping re-imagining of the universally beloved character.
Jamie Sommers is a hard-working woman struggling to take care of her younger sister. But after a serious, life-threatening accident, Jamie is saved by a top-secret procedure that makes her much more than just an ordinary woman...it makes her superhumanly bionic. Starring hot newcomer 'Michelle Ryan', as well as 'Miguel Ferrer' ('Crossing Jordan'), 'Molly Price' ('Third Watch'), 'Will Yun Lee' ('Witchblade'), 'Lucy Kate Hale' ('How I Met Your Mother'), and guest stars 'Isaiah Washington' ('Grey's Anatomy') and 'Katee Sackhoff' ('Battlestar Galactica'), it's a non-stop thrill ride unlike anything you've seen before!
My Thoughts:
OK... so it seems that I am one of the very few that actually enjoyed this new version of the classic series. I don't know why... maybe it is because I didn't go into it comparing it to the original series? Seeing so many movie remakes lately I got myself out of that habit and found myself enjoying them much more this way. Anyway... the first disc has the first 4 (of 8 ) episodes. Plus trailers and a commentary track on the pilot episode. With more extras on disc 2. Even though I enjoyed this series... knowing I am well into the minority I feel I should recommend this one to much.... so if you are curios about this series... even though it is a cheap set... I would say if possible maybe you should rent the first disc before buying.

No actually, I've seen 3 episodes (the ones that came as a bonus on Bourne Ultimatum) and I must say, I really loved it. And because of that, I am not really looking forward to diving into the series, I can feel that I'm going to be pissed that they canceled it.
Post by: addicted2dvd on April 05, 2008, 04:15:10 PM
But seriously... if you enjoyed the first few episodes I am sure you will enjoy the other 5 as well. You just need to decide if it is worth it to get all the episodes... knowing ahead of time that there won't be any more episodes. I personally like having all the episodes whether there will be more or not.
On a side note... Even though I have read several places on the net it was canceled... I have been unable to find anything official from the studios. is it possible that there is a chance to see more? or is it just that I am no good at finding the official announcement? :P I haven't added it to my completed series list just yet since I am not 100% sure... just a slight doubt.

And just as I was saying about "international sales" the BBC see fit to stop one of their flagship personalities being shown on the interweb. Idiots.
Anyway, traditionally I hate RealPlayer, but the latest version is one of my most favourite-ist things ever. It allows you to download unprotected Internet video to a local FLV file. Hover your mouse over any video and you get a "Download" button. It's great. So I've tried saving it to my webspace. Download it and see if you can play it (RealPlayer should at least if you have it).

(...)I hate RealPlayer, but the latest version is one of my most favourite-ist things ever. It allows you to download unprotected Internet video to a local FLV file.I use a Firefox plugin (download helper) for that. Good that it exist since I don't really can watch a youtube files online (conection too slow for that).
Post by: Najemikon on April 05, 2008, 06:49:53 PM
In a classic case of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" :D do you know about the Firefox plugin called NoScript? It stops scripts from running on any webpage which could be anything from videos, animations, even buttons. It's very easy to use to unblock a site and a handy side effect is that ads will still be blocked because they're coming from another site that you haven't authorised. This means regular sites I use load much faster (IMDB for instance is much smoother).
The drawback is you simply have to get used to it. If a site isn't displaying something properly or a button doesn't work, you need to remember to allow it. Also, beware of shopping sites that use a second site to authorise payment. I once lost a CD-WOW voucher because I'd set NoScript to ignore the homepage, but the transaction was cancelled because they tried to send me to WorldPay! Luckily there's a handy option to allow everything which I temporarily switch on for people like that.
Back to the clip, it's unfortunate that the BBC cut it there. After that bit, Ross tries to "attack" her again and she responds properly demonstrating that she really has picked up a few decent techniques from that martial art. The clip suggests that she learned nothing, but she definitely did.

Nah. The way it is worded (is that even a word?) could mean that I didn't want to buy it because it's so short.. BUt it's actually that I have bought it, and while I can't wait to watch it, I'm not too eager either because I know I'll be disappointed by its shortness.

Invasion: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
Hurricane Eve slams into Homestead, Florida. Its tragic aftermath is what you'd expect: destroyed homes, downed power lines, uprooted lives. And what you wouldn't expect: townspeople eerily and profoundly transformed into... something different. Frighteningly different. And possibly extraterrestrial.
Follow every twist, turn and shocking revelation of this suspenseful series from the mind of Shaun Cassidy as two blended Homestead families, the Varons and the Underlays, uncover the truth about themselves and their town. Their families are just like ours -- loving parents, kids who need guidance, and of course, one black sheep. In this case it's Dave, an amiable out-of-work blogger who sees a conspiracy behind every event and alien behind every conspiracy. 'Only this time he may be right!'
My Thoughts:
This one was basically a blind buy as I only ever saw the pilot before... but thought it showed promise. What can I say... I am now getting addicted to yet another series. I don't know what it is with all these great series only lasting 1 season... I am seeing more and more of them all the time. It seems like the studios are quick to cancel something anymore... not even giving it a chance to find a following. To be fair... this show did last 1 full season... but I don't know if that is enough time to decide if the show should be canceled or not. I guess it depends on just how bad the ratings actually are. Granted I only watched the first disc (4 episodes)... so don't know if it took a turn for the worse or not. But so far I am loving every minute of it.

Invasion: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
IIRC, this came out one year after Lost, together with Threshold and Surface (which, judging by the pilots only, were bad and really bad). Invasion started out even slower than Lost, but unlike the more famous show, I actually liked it, mainly because it managed to create and keep a creepy mood without actually doing much, story-wise. Also, wonderful cinematography. But after the first half of the season, the story picked up pace, things got explained, and I quickly lost interest and stopped watching it.

The Brady Bunch: The Complete Series (Season 1 Disc 1)
'Here's the story... The COMPLETE story' of America's most beloved TV sitcom family, 'The Brady Bunch!' This groovy and far-out collector's edition features al 117 hilarious episodes on 20 discs plus a special bonus disc featuring new-to-DVD Brady gems: 'The Brady 500', 'A Very Brady Christmas', and two episodes from 'The Brady Kids' animated TV series!
You'll want to re-live the laughs again and again!
It's the way they became 'The Brady Bunch!'
My Thoughts:
For me personally.... The Brady Bunch is no more then a decent show with loads of nostalgia value. I never really considered it a favorite growing up... but I definitely appreciated the show... and happy that I have another show from my childhood in my collection. A show I can now share with my daughter. Of course Brittany wasn't a stranger to this show... as she has seen a good handful of episodes over the years. But atleast now she can watch them as they were meant to be seen... uncut and in the order they came on. She did however love the show... more then I did... so she was thrilled to see it when this set arrived.
I did enjoy watching this first disc. It has been many, many years since I watched any episodes... let alone these early episodes from the first season. The first disc has some trailers for other TV series out on dvd... and more importantly a commentary track on the pilot episode with Sherwood Schwartz... the creator of The Brady Bunch... of course I had to listen to that after I finished off all the episodes. This show not being a huge favorite of mine... this is really the first taste of behind the scenes of the show I every really got... and was a little surprised to learn that Robert Reed (Mike Brady) gave Sherwood Schwartz some difficulties throughout the show.

Thanks for the heads-up... I will try to keep that in mind as I get further into the series... maybe if I don't expect as much from the later part of the series... I won't be quite as disappointed in it.

The Triangle
From the director of 'X-Men' and a producer of 'Independence Day', comes a sci-fi event so big, it's a phenomenon. Experience the thrills and heart-pounding suspense of the greatest legend of our time as a team of specialists races to solve the mystery of why an alarming number of cargo ships are disappearing into the Bermuda Triangle. But as every clue only deepens the mystery, the truth they uncover is far more bizarre than the myths used to cover it up.
My Thoughts:
This was a decent miniseries... enjoyable even... but I still felt unsatisfied when it was over. I think I was just expecting more from it. Not because this one was recommended highly to me... or because I read rave reviews... I just for some reason thought it would be better going in. I think... at least in my opinion... they went with an easy out at the end... but then added a bit of a twist to that easy out. Which was ok... but I just felt like there should have been more to it. Don't get me wrong... I am in no way sorry I got it... was still enjoyable.

I seem to be watching this a bit quicker then I originally thought I would... but I have been having a bit of fun watching these episode with my daughter. Seems like every day she wants to watch some more. This completes the first season of the set. And the only season with any extras what so ever (within the seasons).I think personally my favorite episode in the first season has to be the one where the kids "haunt" the house when Mike and Carol decide to sell it to get a bigger house. I thought that one was just a lot of fun.

finished off this series to get it off my unwatched shelf. In my opinion... this series was just really starting to get good when it was canceled.

I am right disappointed there will not be any more episodes... but I know I am in the minority on this one. So at least I do have all 8 of the episodes to watch whenever I want to. :)

Only time will tell. At this point I will still say I am sorry to see it was canceled after only the first season.

From her dramatic family history to her tumultuous romances with Howard Hughes, John Ford and Spencer Tracy - her companion of 26 years - Hepburn has been in a class of her own. In this captivating program, rare home movies, film outtakes, and interviews with family, friends and colleagues create an intimate profile of the actress's legendary life.
Join 'BIOGRAPHY' for an unforgettable look at the irrepressible 'Katharine Hepburn.'
My Thoughts:
I figured I would check out this disc after a good friend sending it to me. It is an interesting documentary on her life. I am trying to get into more classics... and this one had mentioned a couple I would like to check out. Now I would especially like to check out "The African Queen" and "Guess Who is Coming to Dinner"... as for the later years... I would like to check out "On Golden Pond"... as I must have missed it when it came out. Of course back in the 80's I was still pretty young... and wasn't much into dramas at that time.

Continuing on the Brady Bunch... I started out watching this series more with my daughter when she wants too then for myself. But now I am finding myself enjoying the show a bit more then what I did with the first season episodes. So seems like I will enjoy this set more then I was expecting to. At the same time I find myself trying to get through these episodes quickly so I can watch the reunion movies. There was some decent episodes on these 2 discs... but think my favorite episode from this viewing would have to be "The Slumber Caper"... where Marcia has a Slumber Party... and the boys do everything they can to pull pranks on the girls and scare them. Was a fun episode to watch... as I would have done the same thing as the boys if I was in that situation.

The Adventures of Robin Hood: Season 1 (Episodes 1-4)
This classic television series ran from 1955 to 1960, featuring the tales of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Richard Greene stars as our gallant hero who fought the forces of the evil Prince John, his local official the Sheriff of Nottingham and any aristocrat or ne'er-do-well who threatened the common people and loyal subjects of King Richard. Robin and his band lived in the shelter of Sherwood Forest, fighting their foes and hoping for the day when their beloved King Richard will return from the Crusades to rule once again.
My Thoughts:
I blind bought the first season this classic TV Series when I found the set in the Walmart Bargain Bin earlier this month. So I didn't know what to expect. It turns out that I found another series that I thoroughly enjoy. This series has a great combination of action. adventure and comedy. In just the first 4 episodes I found myself on several occasions literally laughing out loud. Unfortunately both the audio and video quality leaves a lot to be desired. Of course I don't know what the prints looked like beforehand... but it doesn't seem like they even attempted to remaster the set at all. Nonetheless I am enjoying every moment of this series... so I really hope we see the release of the remaining seasons (4 seasons in all)... even if it is in the same quality as this set. Especially if it is in the same price range.

My Thoughts:
This disc has the next 3 episodes. For me the series started to go downhill on disc 2 just a bit... but then it seemed to gain stride back on this disc... and I am back to being enthralled by this series. I am trying to make this show last as long as possible... maybe watching 1 disc per week... but it don't seem to work that way for me... I seem to have to keep coming back to it every couple days. In an episode on this disc we finally got a decent view of what was actually in the water. I thought they did a good job on creating the creature... though I would have liked to seem them get a bit more creative then they did.

Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, "The Dead Zone" is a unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice.
My Thoughts:
It has been a while since I saw this series. I was a bit late getting this set... and only watched these episodes on DVD so this is the first time I ever seen these episodes. Anyway... it has been so long since I saw this show I forgot how much I enjoy it. So far I watched the first disc... which is the first four episodes of the season. I really enjoyed all four episodes... but I especially enjoyed the episode called "Panic"... where Johnny, his son and a neighbor boy is in the house when the house gets broken into by a couple guys hired to kill the neighbor boy because he saw something he shouldn't have. Johnny uses his visions to try to get out of the situation.

We finished off season 3 now. Was a pretty good season... several memorable episodes. I am finding when it comes to this series... no matter how long it has been since you have seen the episodes... there is just some things you never forget. Some of my favorite episodes from the third season would have to be.. Of course the 3 part season opener where the Bradys go to the Grand Canyon... Then there was "The Personality Kid" which of course is the "Pork Chops & Apple Sauce" episode... "The Teeter Totter Caper" where Bobby and Cindy tries to break the world record... and then there was "Sergeant Emma" which was the episode where Anne B. Davis plays a duel role as herself and her cousin Emma who comes to the Brady house to take care of things while Alice is on vacation. Now we just have 2 seasons and 2 TV Movies to go.

My Thoughts:
Four more episodes watched... You know I have developed mixed feelings about this series. Sometimes I am so enthralled by the series that I can not stop watching it. Other times the way things develop I wonder what they were thinking when they came up with it. But it seems that every time I start to feel that way I discover that it actually works if you just stick with the series. But that makes me wonder if that is why the series didn't make it. Every time the series took that turn that just didn't seem like it was the right direction... the series lost some of the viewers. And after a while it just lost to many viewers for the studio to continue the series.

I did not care for the cartoons at all. Over-all I am thrilled I got this series set... and look forward to someday doing a complete series marathon review of this set.

Ben 10: Season 2
The world's weirdest summer road trip continues - and in Season 2, the Tennysons encounter more action than ever. Fortunately, Ben starts to get the hang of the Omnitrix, unlocking two new alien heroes to transform into: Cannonbolt and Wildvine. Along with Gwen's "lucky" powers and Grandpa Max's gadgets, that just might be enough to keep saving the world from the evil villains that want to destroy it.

This is one cartoon that Brittany got me hooked on... This is really a pretty cool toon. I am hoping to buy us the 3rd and 4th seasons before too long. And then there is still a cartoon movie and a live action movie of the series we can get.

The Ray Bradbury Theater (Episodes 6-9)
Entranced by magicians, comic strips and science fiction magazines, Ray Bradbury began "educating" himself at the Los Angeles Library three to five times a week. By 27 years of age he "graduated," having written several million words. In his early twenties, he supported himself by selling newspapers on street corners and writing for radio programs such as Suspense, Escape, CBS Radio Playhouse, and X Minus One. Bradbury has now written over three thousand short stories -- 400 of which have been published in such magazines as The New Yorker, the New Republican, The Saturday Evening Post, Amazing Stories, Colliers, Dime Detective, and McCall's. He has also written for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and for Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone.
And now, showcased in this 5-DVD set are some of Ray Bradbury's finest works, featuring a plethora of stars like: 'Drew Barrymore', 'Jeff Goldb,um', 'Peter O'Toole', 'Sally Kellerman', 'Eugene Levy', 'Shelley Duval', 'Elliot Gould', 'Ray Sharkey', and, of course, 'William Shatner' (Captain Kirk - Star Trek).
My Thoughts:
Finally got back to watching a few episodes of this series. I really been enjoying this show... it's a series much like The Twilight Zone... though IMHO not as good. But it is enjoyable enough to make it worth watching. This time around I watched 4 episodes.... 2 of which I really enjoyed. The Coffin which takes place in England about a man that makes himself a very special coffin. And The Emissary which is about a sick little boy who sends his dog outside to find him items and has a tag attached to his collar looking for company. Surprisingly the 2 episodes that the plot did not sound all that great for is the 2 episodes I enjoyed the most.

The Incredible Hulk: Season 2 (Disc 2)
Hit the road again with mild-mannered scientist David Banner (Primetime Emmy® Award nominee Bill Bixby) as all 22 Season Two episodes of 'The Incredible Hulk' smash onto DVD for the first time! After accidental exposure to gamma radiation causes him to transform into the uncontrollable and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno), Dr. Banner travels from town to town seeking a cure. Along the way, he finds action-packed adventures that require his heroic ablilities and his alter ego's immense strength and power. Joining his quest are guest stars Pat Morita, Gerald McRaney, and Mariette Hartley in the role that won her a Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Featured in this must-own-5-disc set are incredible bonus materials, including an all-new on-camera interview with producer Kenneth Johnson and more.
Disc 2 Episodes:
4. Rainbow's End
5. A Child in Need
6. Another Path
7. Alice in Disco Land
8. Killer Instinct
My Thoughts:
This is one of the shows I used to watch all the time when I was younger. But other then the DVDs I have not see any of the episodes in a very long time. I still really enjoy the series... but it is one show that seems to have lost a little over the years. Some of the episodes do feel pretty dated. Especially with some of the clothing they wear and the fact that this particular disc had an episode with Disco music. Over-all I still find the show worth collecting/watching.

Wow!.... I just realized... I haven't watched anything on DVD since the above! I haven't watched a DVD in 4 days now! :stars::o
Well, I think your brain is just too preoccupied with what's in that package, so it cannot concentrate on watching a movie... :hysterical:

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Adam Sandler and Kevin James star as best friends and fellow firefighters Chuck and Larry, the pride of their Brooklyn fire station. Chuck owes Larry for saving his life. Larry called in the favor big-time by asking Chuck to pose as his "domestic partner" so his kids will get his pension. But when a fact-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the two straight buys are forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds. Jessica Biel, Ving Rhames and Dan Aykroyd co-star in this hilarious comedy.
My Thoughts:
My sister-in-law loaned this to me after buying it a while back. Told me it was hilarious... that I need to check it out. I am a fan of both Adam Sandler and Kevin James so I couldn't wait to watch it. Only problem... I still can't get her to buy widescreen only... if there is a full screen version... that is what she buys. So that part kind of sucked. But the movie itself... That I enjoyed... was very funny. It is definitely one I need to add to my collection.

Gilligan's Island: Season 2 (Disc 3)
Ahoy, again! Beach yourself for Season 2 of the comedy series that's part of everyone's growing up, and you'll notice a big change. Ginger's hair is flame red. The sea is a forever blue. That's right. Season 2 is in 'color'. But one thing doesn't change for Gilligan and his pals: color them stranded.
If Gilligan and friends could vote themselves off the island, they'd do it in a heartbeat. Their loss is our gain. In 32 second-season episodes (plus DVD extras), the three-hour tour (a three-hour tour) remains comically eternai for the skipper, his first mate and five passengers embarked out of Honolulu and marooned on a remote uncharted isle. Their ship was the Minnow but their impact is colossal: 'Gilligan's Island' is one of the most frequently aired programs ever. Welcome ashore, little buddies!
My Thoughts:
This is one of those series that I like to watch when I feel like something just fun and silly. You don't go into something like Gilligan's Island expecting more then that. Brittany watched this with me when she got out of school today... is one of her favorite shows. So now that I finally finished season 2... I guess it is about time I start thinking about buying the 3rd season and completing the series.

The Adventures of Robin Hood: Season 1 (Episodes 5-8)
This classic television series ran from 1955 to 1960, featuring the tales of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Richard Greene stars as our gallant hero who fought the forces of the evil Prince John, his local official the Sheriff of Nottingham and any aristocrat or ne'er-do-well who threatened the common people and loyal subjects of King Richard. Robin and his band lived in the shelter of Sherwood Forest, fighting their foes and hoping for the day when their beloved King Richard will return from the Crusades to rule once again.
My Thoughts:
I just watched 4 more episodes of this classic series. I am actually surprised at just how much I am enjoying this show. Every episode has lots of laughs... which I was not expecting from a series such as this. Definitely worth checking out... if you would like to you can usually find the entire first season set in the Walmart Bargain Bin for only $5.00!

The Dead Zone: Season 5 (Disc 2)
Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, "The Dead Zone" is a unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice.
My Thoughts:
4 more episodes of this series. I am still enjoying the series very much. Even though she is still in the main credits on every episode I noticed that Nicole De Boer is not in nearly in as many episodes as usual this season. So far I watched 8 of 11 episodes... and only remember seeing her a couple times this season. On June 3rd the 6th (and final) season is released. I am planning on getting it as soon as it comes out so I can final see every episode.

Mork & Mindy: Season 1 (Disc 3)
Wild, wacky and operating at warp speed, meet Mork from planet Ork - the maniacal alien of Mork & Mindy, the riotous television sitcom presented in this complete "Season One" DVD collection. Actor-comedian Robin Williams zoomed to stardom with co-star Pam Dawber in this laugh-filled comedy series spawned from a 9178 episode of Happy Days.
Dispatched from Ork in his egg-shaped spacecraft, the lovable Orkan hurtles to Earth near the town of Boulder Colorado, where he is befriended by pretty college student Mindy McConnell (Dawber). Mork's mission is to observe the bizarre customs of the earthlings and then report back to his great Orkan leader, Orson. He tries his best to adapt to his new environment - not an easy task when you innocently wear your clothes backwards, sit in a chair upside down, or blurt out "Shazbot!" when things go awry. It's an out-of-this-world series of laughs and escapades when human being meets humanoid hurricane in Mork & Mindy.
My Thoughts:
This is a series that for some reason I just find hilarious. I enjoy every second of watching Robin Williams play such an insanely funny character. Sure... it is mindless fun.. but it is fun all the same. And sometimes a show like this really hits the spot to relieve some pressure of every day life. I used to love Pam Dawber in this show. She also had another series back in the '80s called My Sister Sam... if my memory serves me well. But I don't remember much of anything since then. Wonder whatever happened to her.

It's an out-of-this-world series of laughs and escapades when human being meets humanoid hurricane in Mork & Mindy.
My Thoughts:
After watching Disc 3 Brittany asked with we could watch some more episodes last night so we continued on to Disc 4. With only a few episodes left on the disc I figured I may as well finish off this boxset before going onto something else. There was a few really good episodes on this disc such as Mork's birthday and Mork thinking he has been nothing but trouble and wishes he never came to Earth. (It's A Wonderful Life spoof).

Sabrina: Season 1 (Disc 1)
Pretty teen witch Sabrina Spellman ('Melissa Joan Hart') lives with her two otherworldly aunts, Hilda ('Caroline Rhea') and Zelda ('Beth Broderick'), along with Salem, their talking black cat (voice of 'Nick Bakay'). The Witches Council long ago ordered her aunts to teach Sabrina witchcraft once she turned sixteen. Now she can be in Paris for lunch... and make it back in time for biology! The show that found its way into the hearts of millions of viewers each week brilliantly combines the supernatural world of magic with the average life of a teenage girl.
Join Sabrina, cute crush Harvey ('Nate Richert'), best friend Jenny ('Michelle Beaudoin'), and rival Libby ('Jenna Leigh Green') at their favorite pizza hangout, The Slicery. That is, when they aren't frustrating their teacher, Mr. Pool ('Paul Feig'). Here on DVD for the first time ever are all 24 Season One episodes of 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'!
My Thoughts:
After watching the Showtime movie this past weekend... it really got me in the mood for the TV Series... so I started watching a few episodes. I watched a couple episodes a day since. Now I finished the first disc. Unfortunately I only have the first season to watch. I think I may have to get the next set here soon.

My Thoughts:
I been watching the rest of this series while working on my Masters of Horror Marathon. That Sabrina movie from this past weekend really put me in the mood for the episodes. I have now watched the movie and all of season 1! And I could still go for some more episodes. Unfortunately I don't have anything from after Season 1... so it will have to wait till I am able to pick up season 2. I just may pick up season 2 when I place my next order.

Sabrina:The Teenage Witch: Season 2 (Disc 1)
There's magic in the air as 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' returns for its Second Season, with all 26 supernatural episodes on DVD for the very first time! 'Melissa Joan Hart' stars as Sabrina Spellman, who lives with her Aunt Hilda ('Caroline Rhea'), Aunt Zelda ('Beth Broderick'), and Salem, their talking black cat (voice of 'Nick Bakay'). This year, Sabrina conjures up spells - and big laughs! - for Harvey ('Nate Richert'), Valerie ('Lindsay Sloane'), Libby ('Jenna Leigh Green') and new Vice Principal Kraft ('Martin Mull'). But Sabrina is also maturing into a responsible young woman. And there is so much more to learn as she trains for her witch's license with her new Quizmaster ('Alimi Ballard'). Season Two highlights include special Christmas and Valentine's Day episodes, and even a trip to the Walt Disney World theme park! Enjoy all the magic moments of 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'!
My Thoughts:
Well... this was one I wasn't expecting to get for my Birthday since I forgot I put it on my wishlist. So my daughter and I decided to watch some of it together. This is the season that Sabrina's new best friend, Valerie, shows up as a new student in school. I like the character so that is cool... but I had to wonder what happen to Jenny (her best friend from season 1)... I don't remember it saying what happen to her on the show. Anyway... it was really fun to watch some more episodes of this show after all these years.

The Bob Newhart Show: Season 1 (Disc 1 Side A)
In this hilarious sitcom from the '70s, Bob Newhart stars as Dr. Robert Hartley, a successful Chicago psychologist specializing in group therapy sessions. Bob's patience is often tested by his patients - including a paranoid grouch with a persecution complex, a hen-pecked husband, and an emotional eater - all trying to "find themselves." Even at home with his wife Emily, Bob is surrounded by an assortment of nutty and neurotic neighbors. But if laughter is the best therapy, you can be sure the good doctor and those who love him make a little progress every day!
My Thoughts:
This is the first time I have seen this show in many years. I must admit... It is more enjoyable then I remember it being. This series definitely has a lot of laughs in it. Of course this is just after the first four episodes... so I still have a long way to go on it. But at this rate it looks like I have found yet another series I will be collecting.

Desperate Housewives: Season 2 (Disc 1)
Television's hottest show gets even juicier in its delicious second season. The women of Wisteria Lane are back, and, just when you thought things couldn't get any steamier, a new neighbour and her handsome teenage son arrive to make new waves on the shady side of Suburbia.
Join the Emmy® Award-winning cast for all 24 episodes of Season Two, and discover Bree's new life without Rex, Lynette's chaotic return to the working world and what becomes of Susan's on-again, off-again relationship with Mike. That's just the beginning of the secrets in store in this six-disc DVD experience. Sizzling with sensational bonus features, including revealing, never-before-seen story lines featuring Susan Mayer and Lynette Scavo, "there are almost too many things to love in 'Desperate Housewives'" ('San Francisco Chronicle').
My Thoughts:
This is an odd case for me. Desperate Housewives is not the kind of show I normally go for. But for some reason I find it strangely addictive. I seem to get strangely hooked on it when I am watching it. This happened to me when I won a copy of season 1... and now it is happening again with Season 2. Sure... there is some attractive women to watch in this series... but it is so much more then that. You watch one episode.... and you can't help but to watch another... their lives is just so insane you need to know what will happen next. Anyway... the first disc contains the first 5 episodes of the second season.

I know that feeling. While I haven't found the time to watch the second (or any other season after this), I also got addicted with the first season and I never even thought about not buying the second season.
BTW: The young freak killer in Smallville who had two appearances in the third season is now the young lover of Mrs. Solice. ;D

Six more episodes of Sabrina watched.I really enjoyed this disc. I have always had a thing for Holiday episodes of TV series. And this disc don't have just one... but 2 holiday episodes. Episodes for my 2 favorite holidays... Halloween and Christmas. And both the episodes was really good.

My Thoughts:
As I said... I once again got addicted to watching this series. So much so I zoomed through the rest of the season. Looks like I may have to consider getting season 3 in my next order. I can't get over the incredibly crazy stuff that goes on in this series. Watching this series you can't believe how seriously messed up these people living in this neighborhood actually can be. So I watched discs 2-5... which is everything except the bonus material which is all on disc 6.

Mork & Mindy: Season 2 (Disc 1)
'Mork & Mindy' was a spin-off from an episode of 'Happy Days' in which Mork, an alien from the planet Ork, attempted to kidnap Richie. So popular was Mork that he was given his own series in 1978 and it became an instant hit.
Mork (Robin Williams), a misfit on Ork because of his sense of humor, was sent off to study Earthlings, whose "crazy" customs the "Orkans" had never been able to understand. Mork landed in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado and was befriended by pretty Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), a music store clerk. Mork looked human but his strange mix of Orkan and Earthling customs led most people to think of him as just some kind of nut. Aware of his origins, Mindy helped him adjust to Earth's "strange" ways.
The cosmic comedy continues in this four-disc, second season collection. Na Nu, Na Nu!
My Thoughts:
This show went through quite a bit of cast changes from the first season to the second. Mindy's father, her grandmother... and their young friend Eugene all left the series after the first season. In place of them we get a brother/sister team running a Deli and Mindy's cousin Nelson Flavor who is running for councilman. I am kinda sorry to see Mindy's father and grandmother leave... but I do believe they come back for an episode or 2 this season. I do like the new brother and sister on the show... but I do not care for the character of Mindy's cousin. No real reason... just something about him rubs me the wrong way. Over-all decent changes to the series. Enjoying the show so far.

Nowhere Man: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
Unknown forces conspire to erase photographer Thomas Veil's (Bruce Greenwood, 'Thirteen Days', 'Exotica') identity and without warning, every aspect of his life is erased during the course of one evening -- his wife acts as if he's a stranger, his credit cards are suddenly invalid, his keys no longer fit the door to his home and in one way or another, his family and friends are silenced. Completely alone, Veil sets out on a desperate cross-country quest for an answer while eluding his powerful and unknown enemy. His only clue to the possible motivation behind the harrowing ordeal is the disappearance of one of his photographs, "Hidden Agenda," which depicts the execution of natives in a war-torn Third World country. Now learn the whole story with the complete cult classic TV series, including all 25 episodes.
My Thoughts:
This is one of the TV Series I bought blind. So far I only watched the first disc (3 episodes)... but looks like another series I could get hooked on. Usually I try to watch a series and take it for what it is... suspending belief on the way. But there is something in this show that has been bothering me. His identity has been erased... no access to bank accounts or anything else in his old life. So how is it that he always has whatever money he needs in his pocket? It don't show him scamming or stealing to get needed money... let alone showing him working odd jobs on the way. It is just that the money is always there. Unfortunately this takes away from what his situation is supposed to be. Other then that... it already seems to be a great series. Knowing that it was canceled after the first season... I really hope it ended well... without leaving too many unanswered questions... though with a series like this... I doubt it does.

TV Time: Comedy (Disc 4 Side A - The Lucy Show)
Television when it was at its best! Get ready for some of the best all time classic shows, featuring some of the biggest television stars of all time, such as: Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Lucille Ball, Buddy Ebson, Irene Ryan, Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Don Knotts, George Burns, Milton Berle, John Wayne, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and many, many more! Non-stop comedy from some of the cornerstones of sitcom T.V.!
My Thoughts:
I decide to watch the episodes of The Lucy Show that is in this set. There was 4 episodes in this set. There is just something about these old classic sitcoms that are just hilarious. I almost choked myself when something happened in one episode that I just had to laugh at... right in the middle of me taking a drink of water. The special guest stars in the episodes on this disc included...
- George Burns
Lucy does a show with the always funny George Burns... kinda in the style of the old George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. This is the episode I almost choked myself on.
- Milton Berle
Lucy gets a job as Milton Berle's secretary. When she hears Milton Berle over the intercom rehearsing with an actress Lucy think Milton Berle is cheating on his wife. Decent episode.
- John Wayne
Lucy meets John Wayne when he gets the bank she works for to finance a movie... and Lucy goes onto the set to watch. A fun episode.
- Don Rickles
Don Rickles plays an ex-boxer that wants to open a floral Shop... when Mr. Mooney refuses to put any money up for the new business Lucy convinces him to return to the ring to get the money. Another funny episode.
Was fun watching these episodes... but being a low budget public domain set the quality left much to be desired. But over-all I enjoyed myself watching them.

Survivor: Season 1 (Episodes 1-2)
Survivor's premise is simple: maroon sixteen normal Americans - men and women chosen from all walks of life - on the island of Pulau Tiga, twenty miles off the coast of Borneo. Once every three days the castaways gather to vote one of their own off the island. The last person wins a million dollars.
What transpired became television history and a pop culture phenomenon was born. Now with this special DVD box set you can relive every bit of the original Survivor telecasts, plus see and hear many things not shown on TV.
My Thoughts:
Well... this is my first time watching Reality TV on DVD... and I learned something about myself. Even though I like the show a lot... something like Survivor is not (at least to me) good for marathon viewing. I can handle an episode or 2 probably every few days to a week... but it is definitely not something that I can watch non-stop. But in my eyes that is a good thing. I also need shows that I can slowly watch here and there. Everything I watch can't be marathon viewings. So this will give me something new (to me) to watch every now and then... whenever I feel like popping it in.

All-Star Family Feud (Disc 1)
Richard Dawson is the original and best host of Family Feud during it's almost thirty year run. This DVD collection includes some of the best episodes featuring movie and television stars. ABC created a number of prime time one hour specials, where celebrity players competed for charity.
Relive hours of fun and so many laughs, and become part of the family again and again!
My Thoughts:
Going into this one I was thinking it would be the same situation as Survivor... something I would have fun watching an episode or two here and there. But in this case I was surprised. I found myself not wanting to stop watching. The next thing I knew I had watched all 10 episodes on the first disc! And this is a show that I never cared all that much for on TV. But I think the thing is... with this set the contestants are all celebrities from classic (or semi-classic) shows. This made it so much more enjoyable. And I think that was the key. Watching these episodes I realized that Richard Dawson was a terrible flirt. I mean he always kissed the female contestants... but he really let loose with the female celebrities. Especially when Loni Anderson was on! But of course I can't blame him... there was some of the best looking actresses on these episodes!

Sliders: Season 4 (Disc 1)
Slide into an out-of-this-world adventure as all 22 thrilling Season 4 episodes of 'Sliders' land on DVD for the first time ever! Reunite with genius Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) and his fellow Sliders – Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks), Captain Maggie Beckett (Kari Wuhrer), and Quinn's brother Colin (Charlie O'Connell) – as they jump in and out of alternate Earthly realms, battle the ruthless Kromaggs, deal with their tricky doubles, search for their mysterious birth parents, and try to land on the elusive Earth Prime. Accompanying them on various leaps through time and space are spectacular guest stars including Adrienne Barbeau ('Escape from New York'), Shane Westz ('ER') and Malcolm Jamal-Warner ('Jeremiah'). It's an absolute must-have for every sci-fi fan!
My Thoughts:
This is a series that I have always liked a lot since the pilot episode first aired on FOX. Of course now I am in the season where the Sci-Fi Channel took the show over. I will admit this series definitely went down hill this season. But I definitely still enjoyed the series. For me season 5 is where the show really went downhill... but even with that said... I hope to be able to add that 5th (and last) season to my collection... as there was still enough episodes that I enjoyed to make it worth the purchase. Back to this set though... The first disc has 4 episodes. I enjoyed all of them. And I am glad that these discs are now single sided. The packaging was changed again as well. This makes 3 sliders releases... with 3 slightly different style of packaging. That kinda sucks... but at least they kept them similar enough that they look good together.

Sabrina:The Teenage Witch: Season 2 (Disc 3)
There's magic in the air as 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' returns for its Second Season, with all 26 supernatural episodes on DVD for the very first time! 'Melissa Joan Hart' stars as Sabrina Spellman, who lives with her Aunt Hilda ('Caroline Rhea'), Aunt Zelda ('Beth Broderick'), and Salem, their talking black cat (voice of 'Nick Bakay'). This year, Sabrina conjures up spells - and big laughs! - for Harvey ('Nate Richert'), Valerie ('Lindsay Sloane'), Libby ('Jenna Leigh Green') and new Vice Principal Kraft ('Martin Mull'). But Sabrina is also maturing into a responsible young woman. And there is so much more to learn as she trains for her witch's license with her new Quizmaster ('Alimi Ballard'). Season Two highlights include special Christmas and Valentine's Day episodes, and even a trip to the Walt Disney World theme park! Enjoy all the magic moments of 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'!
My Thoughts:
Felt up to another disc of Sabrina. I am now 3 quarters the way through the second season.... and enjoying all the episodes. This disc has an episode that has Shelley Long guest starring in it... and an episode where Sabrina and Libby switch personalities. Only one more disc in this set to watch. Of course I was sure to put season 3 on my Father's Day Wish List that I gave Brittany. :P

Painkiller Jane (Disc 1)
Kristanna Loken of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Bloodrayne stars as Jane Vasco, a tough-yet-sexy DEA agent recruited by a covert government unit to hunt superhuman neurological aberrations - known as 'Neuros' - who can do dangerous things with their minds. But when Jane discovers that she herself can rapidly heal from any injury, she begins to investigate her own disturbing background. In this sole season of the Sci Fi Channel series, Jane and her team battle assassins, arsonists, time loops, prison breaks, mythical beasts, undead armies, killer hallucinations and more, all in a bullet-riddled world of the very near future where nothing may be what it seems...and pain is always a bitch.
My Thoughts:
Well... I just couldn't wait any longer to check out this series. So far I only watched the first disc... which is the first 4 episodes. So far I feel it is a pretty good show... I am glad I added it to my collection... especially for the price I got it for ($20). But with that said... it is not a great show. So I am not really surprised it got canceled after the first season. Lets put it this way... if I was watching the show as it aired... I would have continued to watch it. But when it was canceled I wouldn't have cared all that much. Of course this is still a rather early impression of the series... what with only watching 4 episodes so far.

My Thoughts:
As I said before... this series has gone downhill a bit starting this season. But that being said... I forgot how much I did still enjoy this series in it's fourth season. One of my all-time favorite episodes is actually on this disc. "The Alternateville Horror" where it is believed that the hotel they stay at is haunted. So of course you know I would love something like that. While watching it I was thinking... cool this must be a Halloween episode... turns out it wasn't as it originally aired in July. But it sure would make for a good one. In the episode where Quinn finds his brother... there is a couple of notable guest stars... First is Adrienne Barbeau who is well known for such movies as "The Fog" (original) and "Swamp Thing". And then there is Ben Jones who is best known as Cooter in "The Dukes of Hazzard".

The Dead Zone: The Final Season (Disc 1)
Prepare to experience all new spellbinding suspense and paranormal adventures as Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) faces the greatest challenges of his psychically-altered existence in this sixth and final season of this intense thriller based on the story and characters from sci-fi master, Stephen King.
My Thoughts:
It is a sad thing that this is the final season. I have enjoyed this series from the first time I ever seen it. I just discovered the final season brought about several huge changes to the series. In the very first episode we learn that one of the main characters gets killed off and another one decides to leave. And if that isn't enough... Johnny's son is being played by an entirely different actor. You would think so many changes all at once like that would be bad for the show... and maybe it is since it was canceled. But I must say I am still enjoying every episode. It has not effected my enjoyment in the least little bit. It is unfortunate... I now only have 9 episodes left that I have never seen. I do have a feeling I will be enjoying them as I say goodbye to this series.

My Thoughts:
Well... this finishes off the second season of Sabrina for me. I went through them faster then I thought I would. But it is a show I have always enjoyed a lot. Hopefully I will see season 3 for Father's Day... but if not I am sure it won't take me too long to pick it up. I can't remember if it was the third or the fourth season (or even later?) that Sabrina goes off to college... but they are the episodes that I have never seen since at that time our cable company didn't offer The WB. So whenever that happens is what I am really looking forward to when it comes to Sabrina.

All-Star Family Feud (Disc 2)
Richard Dawson is the original and best host of Family Feud during it's almost thirty year run. This DVD collection includes some of the best episodes featuring movie and television stars. ABC created a number of prime time one hour specials, where celebrity players competed for charity.
Relive hours of fun and so many laughs, and become part of the family again and again!
My Thoughts:
Wow... I am really surprised how much I am enjoying a game show on DVD. But as I said before... it really helps that it is celebrities playing for charity.. especially since it is celebrities from TV Shows from the '70s and the '80s.... the time I really got into watching a lot of TV! So there is a lot of familiar faces on here for me. A couple things I took notice of on this set. One is the image quality is questionable on some episodes. I noticed that some episodes the image has a bit of the shakes. Not bad mind you... but enough that it can become a little distracting. I also noticed that some of these episodes are not complete episodes. You do see the whole show mind you... but some of the episodes are broken up into 3 episodes. This is due to there being 3 rounds in the episode when it originally aired... and for some reason on the set they made each round an episode. Because of this some of the episodes are really short since those 3rd rounds only lasted about 10 minutes each. I think that is an odd way to do it... but is not really a big deal.
Post by: Tom on June 10, 2008, 09:53:37 PM
can't remember if it was the third or the fourth season (or even later?) that Sabrina goes off to college...Season 3 is still in High School and still with Valerie :)
I think it was Season 4 where she went to college. I haven't seen many episodes after season 3 yet. I think the only episode I saw completely after season 3 was the series finale.

I am not sure what got into me... but I just couldn't stop watching this show today. So now I have watched 3 discs in the set... with only 1 more disc left to watch. These episodes has been really fun to watch... especially enjoyed watching the ones with 3's Company in it... as I am a fan of that show... and John Ritter. He was definitely a hilarious man!

At this point I am still really enjoying the final season of this series. I now only have 5 episodes left to watch. All 4 episodes on this disc was really good... I especially liked the episode where he tries to stop the bomb from going off in the bus station. It is probably my favorite episode of the season... well so far at least.

The Sorority
A small college town is gripped in terror as coeds are being found burned alive. Carved into their charred remainsare the words "Join or die". The police has no leads, but when a student discovers that the hottest sorority on campus is actually a coven of devil worshipers, she's brutally murdered by the Satanic witches. At the student's graveside her sister vows revenge and sets out to make things right. Hunter becomes the hunted as she fights her way through a maze of Satanic rituals, murder, beheadings, lesbianism and black magic in her quest for vengeance, as all hell breaks loose in the final showdown between good and evil.
My Thoughts:
OMG... what a total and utter waste of time! Naturally after seeing the trailer to this movie the other day online I was not expecting much of anything at all. But in this case I was not expecting anything and still got disappointed! The acting is atrocious... the quality of the effects is laughable... and the DVD itself is pitiful! I got this DVD for free.... And I Feel Cheated!!! I was never so thrilled to see a set of credits roll!

Only problem... I don't want to torture my friends and family with it... and if I sold it I would feel like I am cheating someone. So I think the first step will be..
My brother wants to watch it... going by the case. (No I haven't shown him the trailer) So if by any chance he likes anything about it... it is his! IF not.. we will have to see what I can do... but almost feel like tossing it would be more appropriate then selling it. (I just wouldn't feel right about myself.)

Accompanying them on various leaps through time and space are spectacular guest stars including Adrienne Barbeau ('Escape from New York'), Shane Westz ('ER') and Malcolm Jamal-Warner ('Jeremiah'). It's an absolute must-have for every sci-fi fan!
My Thoughts:
This season is still not as good as the first 3 seasons... but it is still enjoyable. There has been some pretty good episodes in this set. I haven't seen much of anything for special features on this set so far. Not sure if there is any or not. But all I have seen so far is a few trailers for other titles they want you to buy on Disc 1. Oh well... at least I have the episodes.

As one of the most popular television shows in the '70s and early '80s watch a nostalgia masterpiece with a sharp fashion sense and a disco diva style. Match Game is a classic with a rich TV history watched by million over its broadcast lifetime and now fondly remembered as part of growing up around the TV set.
From your favorite stars, including Match Game perennials Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Betty White and Richard Dawson to Gene Rayburn's custom microphone and crazy antics - this collection has it all! Enjoy hours of rare bonus material including the pilot episode of 1962's The Match Game, a special tribute to Gene Rayburn, an exclusive interview with Brett Somers and much more!
My Thoughts:
There was always something extremely fun for me with this show. This is one of my all-time favorite of the classic game shows. As I said about the Family Feud DVDs I been watching... when a celebrity is on a game show it makes it twice the fun for me to watch. The 4th episode on the first disc has Loretta Switt and McLean Stevenson... both from the hit classic sitcom M*A*S*H. I am looking forward to watching the rest of this set.

A Haunting: Seasons 1 & 2 (Episodes 1-2)
In sixteen chilling tales of the supernatural, on 3 DVDs, New Dominion Picture's 'A Haunting,' takes you inside real-life horror stories. The series originally aired on the Discovery Channel, and each eerie one-hour episode features eyewitness accounts and cinematic re-enactments of some of most spine-tingling, ghostly hauntings ever recorded, filmed in actual locations where these apparitions took place. They are all but guaranteed to spook even the most skeptical observer, but you can judge for yourself: are they imagined, or are they real?
Episode by episode, you'll be shocked and surprised by the spell-binding tales. Take the case of the dance club haunted by ghosts from a by-gone era, the child inhabited by evil that only an exorcism will cure, or house-haunting specters, scaring the wits out of their unsuspecting victims. 'A Haunting' explores these and many other unexplainable, eerie, and macabre tales of the paranormal.
By the end of each amazing story, you will experience a lingering sense that life and death are much stranger than you could have possibly imagined!
My Initial Thoughts:
My daughter and I just watched the first 2 episodes of this series... And I just had to comment on this series right away. I have to say... going by these two episodes at least... this must best "true Hauntings" series I have ever seen!
The first episode is The Lake Club Horror it is about a haunted night club (obviously called The Lake Club). This one is a good first effort. But a little more on the average side. But the second episode in this set. The Haunting of Summerwind... now this episode was excellent! I was glued to the set while watching this episode. It is about a woman that finds an old rundown mansion that she is instantly attached to and must buy, move her family in... and fix up the place. when everything goes haywire from haunting mischief to her husband being possessed.
I know next to nothing about this series. I do know it is a Discovery Channel series. And know that season 3 is also out... and season 4 is scheduled to come out soon. I do not know if this is a current series... or if it is a series that has ended and is just showing reruns. I do know... going by these 2 episodes anyway... I will collect all that they decide to release!

My Thoughts:
And this completes the set. It is of course more of the same... but for some reason this disc didn't strike me as quite as good as the previous 3. For one thing it seems people got a little confused when picking the shows for this disc... they showed the first round of one of the games... then just dropped it and moved on to the next set of games. Leaving us wondering who became the champs. They only showed the first of the 3 rounds for it. Struck me as a little weird. There was some good teams on the first half of this disc... but on the second half of the disc I didn't recognize many people at all... so I guess it was less interesting for me. Over-all I would say this is a good set and glad I have it in my collection... and I would like to see another set of All-Star episodes released!

By the end of each amazing story, you will experience a lingering sense that life and death are much stranger than you could have possibly imagined!
My Thoughts:
These 3 episodes finishes off disc 1. These episodes consist of Hell House... where supposedly the new home of a family is haunted by 3 ghosts... who is supposedly being controlled by a demonic spirit. Then there is Cursed where a family is being tormented by a poltergeist. And then finally we have Echoes from the Grave where a rather large family (2 adults and 7 kids) supposedly has 2 spirits in the house with them... one good and one evil. The good supposedly protecting the family the best it can till the family sells the house. Then the good spirit supposedly let it known that when they leave do not return as he is leaving also so won't be there to protect them. So this was 3 more interesting stories. Out of the 5 stories on this disc... I have to say my favorite so far had to be episode #2... The Haunting of Summerwind. It was just the most interesting of the episodes for me so far.

Accompanying them on various leaps through time and space are spectacular guest stars including Adrienne Barbeau ('Escape from New York'), Shane Westz ('ER') and Malcolm Jamal-Warner ('Jeremiah'). It's an absolute must-have for every sci-fi fan!
My Thoughts:
This disc has 4 more episodes. All of them decent episodes. One thing I found curios. The last episode on this disc they slide into an "Old West" world. But when it came to gunfighting... they didn't go with the obvious... Maggie, who was a marine... like they did with all the other episodes. This time they went with Colin... since they found him on a world that was in a similar time frame... I guess they figured he would be the smarter choice. Only problem... they never set up him being such a great shot before this. So, at least in my eyes, it felt a little forced.

The Dead Zone: The Final Season (Disc 3)
Prepare to experience all new spellbinding suspense and paranormal adventures as Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) faces the greatest challenges of his psychically-altered existence in this sixth and final season of this intense thriller based on the story and characters from sci-fi master, Stephen King.
My Thoughts:
This disc completes the season... well the series actually. Which I am really sorry to say. This season did try to answer a lot questions... but it did not finish off the biggest (Series Long) story line! From that it is obvious that they didn't realize at the time the series would be canceled. So I am now leaving this series wishing I had more. I wonder if there is any chance what so ever that there could be a TV Movie or even better.. a TV Miniseries to bring this series to a more satisfying ending.

Spy Smasher
Spy Smasher, the American free-lance agent in occupied France, is captured by the Germans while trying to get information about The Mask, the head of the German spy ring in the USA. After being rescued and returned to America, he enlists the aid of his twin brother and vows to bring the Nazi agent and his evil allies to justice and thwart The Mask's diabolical plans and operations which includes a counterfeiting ring and the attempted theft of a new weapon capable of melting plane engines in flight. It's all-out action and cliffhanging drama in one of the best serials ever made by Republic!
My Thoughts:
As the overview says... this is considered one of the best serials ever made. And I can see why. Once I started watching this one I couldn't pull myself away till I watched all 12 chapters. This serial is pure non-stop action from beginning to end. And I enjoyed every second of it. This is a serial that a good friend gave me... is a homemade set as this is not officially available through the studio yet. Because of this... I was not expecting much quality wise... but I must admit... this is one of the better serials I have quality wise as well. Though I do hope there will be an official studio release of Spy Smasher before too long.

Sliders: Season 4 (Disc 5)
Slide into an out-of-this-world adventure as all 22 thrilling Season 4 episodes of 'Sliders' land on DVD for the first time ever! Reunite with genius Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) and his fellow Sliders – Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks), Captain Maggie Beckett (Kari Wuhrer), and Quinn's brother Colin (Charlie O'Connell) – as they jump in and out of alternate Earthly realms, battle the ruthless Kromaggs, deal with their tricky doubles, search for their mysterious birth parents, and try to land on the elusive Earth Prime. Accompanying them on various leaps through time and space are spectacular guest stars including Adrienne Barbeau ('Escape from New York'), Shane Westz ('ER') and Malcolm Jamal-Warner ('Jeremiah'). It's an absolute must-have for every sci-fi fan!
My Thoughts:
Now that I am through with this set... I see that it is not season 4 that really bothered me much on this series. I actually really enjoyed most all this season. It must be just the 5th season episodes that really went downhill (IMO). I would have liked to have seen some decent show related extras on this set... but it just wasn't meant to be. At least I can enjoy the episodes themselves... and after all... that is the most important thing. Even though I remember not being all that impressed with season 5... I still hope to see it released before too long... as I would love to complete this series... and would hate to have all seasons but one. In my opinion when they get that far into the series they should be sure to complete it.

The Bill Engvall Show: Season 1
A pet snake is loose in the house. A teen daughter thinks "no" is an insufficient response to her desire to get a belly ring (okay, how about "NO!"). Welcome to the Pearson home, where dad Bill, a family counselor, finds that guiding his own family is an ongoing therapy session.
Blue Collar comedian Bill Engvall brings his winning dad-itude to the eight Season One episodes of this series that's easygoing, relatable and therapeutically funny. As his own brood can use more than its fair share of counseling, Bill and wife Susan (Nancy Travis) search for ways to raise three mischievous kids. Hassles, humor and heart are all in abundance - from the Pearson family to yours.
My Thoughts:
This is one of the sets that my daughter got me on Father's Day. I enjoyed every second of this sitcom... so much so that I watched the entire season in one afternoon... granted that is unfortunately only 8 episodes... but none the less... I just could not stop watching it! It is a fun series... I liked all the characters. Especially his family. Bill's wife is played by a lovely actress named Nancy Travis. Someone that looked oddly familiar to me... but I just could not place it. So when I looked to see what else I have with her in it... I found out just why she looked so familiar to me. She played Dr. Joyce Reardon on one of my favorite Stephen King miniseries... Rose Red. The woman that put together the expedition to the mansion together. I thought she did a wonderful job in Rose Red... and I enjoyed her just as much in this. I am really happy with this set... and I look forward to any additional seasons that may be released in the future. I know the second season only started to air on TBS... hopefully that season will be releases shortly after it finishes airing... and hopefully we will get more then 8 episodes!

Three's Company: Season 8 (Disc 1)
It's the unforgettable concluding season that began with Jack (Emmy® winner John Ritter) narrowly escaping marriage and children and ended in which he proposes to the woman he loves. In between, there were plenty of mistaken identities, sexual shenanigans, falls over furniture and even a visit from Jack's dad! But why are Janet (Joyce DeWitt) and Larry (Richard Kline) pretending to be French? How far will Terri (Priscilla Barnes) go to get a promotion> What happens when Jack and Mr. Furley (Don Knotts) get locked in the freezer? How did Jack get a tattoo on his derriere? And who is 'Grandma Tripper' and why is she being forced to bake cookies? Joanna Kerns, Rita Wilson, Mary Cadorette, Dick Shawn, Lana Clarkson and Robert Mandan co-star in these 21 episodes, including the double-length concluding episode, that bid a final farewell to the hilarious and beloved sitcom that changed television forever!
My Thoughts:
I don't know what it is about this sitcom classic. But this is one of the few that makes me laugh out loud even today. A series that... for me at least... stayed constantly good from the first season to the last. It is just a constantly hilarious series. And a series that surprisingly I don't see in syndication any longer. At least not on Nick@Nite... as I don't watch TVLand all that much. I haven't gone over the whole set to see what is included. But this first disc has no extras on it what so ever.

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven: The Complete Series (Disc 2)
Exactly one year after being brutally murdered, rock musician Eric Draven returns to Earth, searching for a way to right what has been wronged and to reunite with his missing soul-mate Shelly Webster. Guided by a mystical Spirit Crow, he is neither living nor dead, possessing strange new powers to aid him in his search for revenge which, ultimately, must become a quest for redemption.
The legend of "The Crow" began as a popular comic series by James O'Barr, and grew into a sensation with the release of the feature films. In the 1998-1999 season, "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" became a successful television series starring world-wide action star and martial arts expert MARK DACASCOS ('Brotherhood of the Wolf', 'John Woo's Stranglehold', 'Iron Chef America'). The critically acclaimed series was developed for television anmd executive produced by TV feature writer/producer BRYCE ZABEL ('Mortal Kombat Annihilation', 'The Poseidon Adventure', 'Dark Skies'). All 22 hours of the original episodes have been collected into this five-DVD set.
My Thoughts:
This was a blind buy when I bought it 5 months ago. Back when I first bought it in January I watched the first disc... and loved every second of it! I don't know why it took me so long before watching the second disc. I guess simply that I got so many other titles in that I just never got around to it. That is probably a good thing since the series only lasted one season... I am able to enjoy the first viewing of the series for longer then normal. After getting my second taste of the series I am not so sure I will be able to wait so long before going to disc 3. Once again... this series has lots of great action and martial arts. I also like how Eric (The Crow) gets a smart-mouthed attitude when he gets fighting and "The Crow" persona takes over. He has given me a lot of laughs with some of the things he comes out with. Definitely turning into a great series for me!

Well... this finishes off the first disc. As much as I am enjoying the episodes... so far this set is starting to disappoint me. Quality wise. Part of an episode the audio and video was out of sync.... the bonus material on the first disc seemed to be messed up... as well as other minor glitches in the video throughout a couple of the episodes. Hopefully the rest of the discs are in better shape then this one.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching several more hilarious episodes. Now that I finished disc 2 I only have a couple more discs to watch of this series. In an episode on this disc Janet lost her job at the flower shop... and is now an Aerobics Instructor. In the end of the episode this was still the case... it never said anything about her going back to the flower shop. I wonder if this is a permanent change (as there is only 10 episodes left in the series)... or if it will mention going back to work at the flower shop. I have seen several shows add something like this... and then just drop it an episode later or so... like it never happen. I am a bit curios if that will happen here or not.

24: Season 5(Disc 1)
Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer is forced to return to L.A. when it becomes apparent that the only four people who know he is still alive are being targeted for assassination. The killings coincide with the signing of an anti-terrorism treaty with Russia, leading Jack to suspect a link between the assassinations, the treaty, and a group of Russian terrorists. But as the terror unfolds, Jack learns the day's events were set in motion by an individual within the U.S. administration - someone with the power and resources to thwart Jack's every move.
My Thoughts:
This disc has the first 4 episodes from the 5th season. It has been a while since I seen any episodes of 24... I forgot how addicting this series is. I liked that this season has Geraint Wyn Davies in it... I really enjoyed him in both the movie Cube and the TV Series Forever Knight.

The Eye
Sydney Wells is blind and has been so since a childhood tragedy. After undergoing surgery to restore her sight she learns to see again. But soon after, unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Not knowing if they are an aftermath of surgery, her mind adjusting to sight, her imagination, or something horrifyingly real, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see.
My Thoughts:
Now I never seen the Japanese movie this was made from... so I can't compare the two. But I highly suspect that the Japanese version was much better then this one. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy it. But it should have been better then what it was. There just wasn't anything scary about the movie at all. Although... Jessica Alba looked great as usual. Unfortunately this release has no extras what so ever.

Anyway, Asian horror is much different to Western horror. Often it is not scary to us, as we prefer monsters and stuff yet the Asians are more into ghost / haunting stories. (I might add that they often don't get scared by our horror just the same....).
The Asian version has one stand out moment in it that I remember.

Well... After completing my collection so long ago I finally caught up on watching this entire series. I always found this series to be a lot of fun. It is one of my favorite series from the '70s/'80s. They have always done a great job with this series... which kinda surprises me as much cast changing they have done over the years. But in my opinion... that didn't hurt it at all. This is one show that.. in my opinion... stayed hilarious through it's entire run. This set also has a nice collection of extras as well. Even though not nearly as popular... I would love to see the spin-off of Three's a Crowd be released!

After 8 episodes... this show is really starting to take off now. I really like this nerve gas storyline.... it kinda reminds me of the season they did that virus... which was one of my favorite seasons personally. For some reason I like the idea of fighting something like that... whether a virus or nerve gas... it makes it more thrilling story... in my opinion at least.

The Lone Ranger: Legion of Old Timers; Pete & Pedro; Old Joe's Sister
The sole survivor of a posse of Texas Rangers ambushed by a gang of desperadoes, John Reid was left for dead and nursed back to health by Tonto (Jay Silverheels), a friendly Indian whom he had once helped. With a black mask and silver bullets from the mine he discovered with his brother, one of the slain Rangers, Reid sets out astride his horse, Silver, to right the wrongs of the West as The Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore)
Red Devers (Norman Willis) tries to steal the Circle K Ranch from Bob Kittredge (Star Trek's DeForest Kelley), until the disguised Ranger and foreman Banty Bishop (Emmett Lynn) form a "Legion of Old Timers." Then, "Pete and Pedro" (Rufe Davis, Don Diamond) join in to help lovely young Ellen Carter (Sheila Ryan) save her ranch from "the land-hungry hands of unscrupulous, violent men," led by Jeff Grant (John Parrish). Escaped killer Biff Baker (Lester Sharpe) shoots and impersonates hermit Joe Peters (Joel Friedkin) to seek his hidden gold, but must fool "Old Joe's Sister," Abby (Anne O'Neal), who hasn't seen him for thirty years.
My Thoughts:
I remember it like it was yesterday... when I was a young kid... just getting home from school... running down our lane as fast as I could just so I wouldn't miss that day's episode of The Lone Ranger... yes... this series is before my time. A good 20 years before my time to be honest... but one of the channels we got showed the reruns everyday after school. So I grew up watching The Lone Ranger and his trusty friend Tonto. So many years went by since I seen this series... when I saw a cheap 4-disc boxset at Walmart... I didn't even care that it came from Goodtimes DVD... a company known not to care about quality... I had to get this set. And let me tell you I enjoyed every minute of it. Watching these episodes I felt like a kid again.
This particular disc wasn't to terrible quality wise. But with no extras... and only 3 episodes... I did expect better then I got. My favorite episode on this disc had to be Legion of Old Timers. I mean they were all good... but I really enjoyed this one.

Survivor: Borneo: Season 1(Ep. 3-4)
Survivor's premise is simple: maroon sixteen normal Americans - men and women chosen from all walks of life - on the island of Pulau Tiga, twenty miles off the coast of Borneo. Once every three days the castaways gather to vote one of their own off the island. The last person wins a million dollars.
What transpired became television history and a pop culture phenomenon was born. Now with this special DVD box set you can relive every bit of the original Survivor telecasts, plus see and hear many things not shown on TV.
My Thoughts:
I discovered this series a couple years ago... so I am late coming into this one. So when I found the first season set really cheap I decided to pick it up since I never seen it before. But then I discovered even though this is a series I like... it is not one I can watch more then an episode or two at a time. It seems like for me a little is enough... or I will tire of it. This is the first series I came across that I couldn't even imagine doing a marathon of. But that is ok... it is good to have something to fall back on when I only want to watch an episode or two of.

JAG: Season 5 (Discs 1-2)
The hit series 'JAG' returns for its high-flying fifth season, with all 25 episodes on DVD for the very first time!
This season, Harm (David James Elliott) and Mac (Catherine Bell) are reunited when Harm leaves his flying career behind and returns to the Jag office...and not a moment to soon, as cases aboard carriers, submarines, and even a hijacked plane demand their attention! And as Admiral Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) find romance, and Bud (Patrick Labyorteaux) and Harriet (Karri Turner) adjust to parenthood, the whole gang travels to Australia.
Get ready for the best 'JAG' season yet!
My Thoughts:
This show on the other hand once I start watching I just can't stop. I have a hard time making these sets last more then a week most the time.I originally went into this one wanting to watch 1 disc... but had to pop in the second. This is a great series and I am now happy to say I am at the half way point of collecting the entire great 10 year run. For the most part all the characters are likable... even though I have to admit... much like my feelings of Cole on Charmed... there is one character I had to deal with the last couple of seasons that I just can't stand. In this case it is Brumbley... the JAG Lawyer from Australia. Once again... I have no real reason to dislike him... it is just something about him is all.

A Haunting: Seasons 1 & 2 (Disc 2)
In sixteen chilling tales of the supernatural, on 3 DVDs, New Dominion Picture's 'A Haunting,' takes you inside real-life horror stories. The series originally aired on the Discovery Channel, and each eerie one-hour episode features eyewitness accounts and cinematic re-enactments of some of most spine-tingling, ghostly hauntings ever recorded, filmed in actual locations where these apparitions took place. They are all but guaranteed to spook even the most skeptical observer, but you can judge for yourself: are they imagined, or are they real?
Episode by episode, you'll be shocked and surprised by the spell-binding tales. Take the case of the dance club haunted by ghosts from a by-gone era, the child inhabited by evil that only an exorcism will cure, or house-haunting specters, scaring the wits out of their unsuspecting victims. 'A Haunting' explores these and many other unexplainable, eerie, and macabre tales of the paranormal.
By the end of each amazing story, you will experience a lingering sense that life and death are much stranger than you could have possibly imagined!
My Thoughts:
This is the second out of a 3 disc set. I am still enjoying this show very much. This disc has some good stories. On this disc I especially liked the ones called "Diabolical" and "Sallies House". This disc had a lot of kids involved. Including some child ghosts. Something that for some reason seems a little eerier then adult ghosts. Not sure why... but I always thought so at least.

My Thoughts:
As I said earlier... there is just something about this show that I have a hard time pulling myself away from.So I have now watched 2 more discs. This is a series that I only ever caught in reruns... so each time I get one of these sets I always catch episodes I never seen before. I am surprised to say that so far (with only 3 discs left to watch) I have seen every episode in this set before. But I am still hoping that I will find one or two eps that I never seen before... because that is always a fun thing. As I mentioned before... I hate the character Brumbley on this show... but I see now that his time seems to be just about up on the series... as he was sent back to Australia a few episodes back. I just finished the 2 part episode where Harm and Mac goes to Australia... so I think we may see him here and there for a couple more episodes... but think he will be gone after that.

I had it in my mind that this set was going to last me for a while... but there is something about 24... Once I start to watch it... there just is no stopping till I complete the season. This is a really good season... with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the ending. There is a 7th disc... a bonus disc in this set. That I still need to watch but I am in no hurry to do that. I can get to it anytime.

Wonder Woman: Season 1 (Disc 1 Side A)
Meet the United States' secret and most beautiful weapon in the fight against tyranny: Wonder Woman! Season One of WONDER WOMAN (the Pilot Movie and 13 regular episodes) retains the World War II era of the super heroine's early comic book adventures. Also captured is the exuberant tone of a comic book come to screen life as the warrior princess, empowered by her sense of a woman's worth and by the mysterious substance Feminum that's found only on her remote native isle, battles a succession of Nazi baddies. Former Miss USA Lynda Carter stars as the heroine who hides her identity behind the oversized glasses of a War Department functionary. But when duty and danger call, she transforms. And the wonders never cease.
My Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite series from my childhood. One that I got my daughter hooked on when these was first released. Brittany and my mother has been having a Wonder Woman marathon for the past couple weeks... seeing them watch these episodes got me in the mood to watch a couple episodes... so I decided to watch the pilot movie and first episode today. It is still as enjoyable for me as it was when I was a kid. Though I do have to admit (and do expect most to disagree) that I personally prefer seasons 2 and 3 over the first season. I never cared much for the episodes dealing with the war and Nazis.

The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family from New York City. Clff and Clair Huxtable are a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in TV history.
For the first time on DVD, enjoy all twenty-four episodes from the inital season of this landmark comedy classic:
My Thoughts:
This disc has the first 8 episodes of the series. Even as much as I catch an episode here and there on Nick@Nite... I forgot just how enjoyable these early episodes were. I found myself literally laughing out loud on some of these episodes. Does anyone know... are these discs the syndicated versions? The episodes seemed just a little bit short.

And as Admiral Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) find romance, and Bud (Patrick Labyorteaux) and Harriet (Karri Turner) adjust to parenthood, the whole gang travels to Australia.
Get ready for the best 'JAG' season yet!
My Thoughts:
The 5th disc contains the next 3 episodes. I am still loving every minute of this set. I said with the last update that so far in this season I have seen every single episode before. Well that has finally changed on this disc. There was actually one episode on this disc I have never seen before. So that made this disc even more enjoyable for me.

Does anyone know... are these discs the syndicated versions? The episodes seemed just a little bit short.Yes, Season 1 were the syndicated versions. But because of many customer complaints, beginning with season 2 the longer network versions were used instead.

At least they fixed it for the next set. A shame about season 1 though.

My Thoughts:
Between last night and this morning I decided to finish off this set. I enjoyed every minute of these episodes. Though it does seem I was mistaken about Brumbley... he went from regular cast to recurring cast... and now it seems like he is going back to regular cast once again. I was hoping I have seen the last of that character... but it does seem like it was meant to be just yet. Over-all in this set there was about 3 episodes that I have never seen before. Not as many as I would have liked but was still good to see a few episodes I never seen before. The only extra included with this set is a gag reel. Gag reels is usually one of my favorite extras... but unfortunately this one was just not that good. Not only was there not much there... but what was there just wasn't that entertaining.

Survivor: Borneo (Season 1) (Disc 2)
Survivor's premise is simple: maroon sixteen normal Americans - men and women chosen from all walks of life - on the island of Pulau Tiga, twenty miles off the coast of Borneo. Once every three days the castaways gather to vote one of their own off the island. The last person wins a million dollars.
What transpired became television history and a pop culture phenomenon was born. Now with this special DVD box set you can relive every bit of the original Survivor telecasts, plus see and hear many things not shown on TV.
My Thoughts:
I am actually coming out of this disc surprised. I noticed on the first disc I couldn't do no more then 2 episodes per sitting. Well not only did I get through all 4 episodes on this second disc... I wasn't the least bit sick of watching it. Maybe it is because of the merge and it getting down to the serious playing.

Return to the Planet of the Apes: The Complete Animated Series (Disc 1)
From the Oscar® -winning creators of "The Pink Panther" come this high-concept '70s cartoon that returns you to the heart of mankind's greatest adventure! Populated by familiar characters from 'Planet of the Apes' films and TV series - including Cornelius, Zira and General Urko - this classic animated series pits humans against a world of apes who are more advanced than ever!
Three astronauts - Bill Hudson, Jeff Allen and Judy Franklin - find themselves stranded in a future where apes drive cars, fly planes... and wage an epic war on their primitive human neighbors. Attempting to keep one step ahead of the apes and protect the other humans, the astronauts search for the reason their world went so awry, hoping one day to find their way back.
My Thoughts:
This is a cartoon that was on when I was only 6yrs old... and haven't seen it since. So when I ordered it I didn't know what to expect quality wise... of the DVD or the show itself. So far I watched the first disc. I really am amazed as I forgot how much better... story wise... these old cartoons are then the ones that air now. Even thought this is a cartoon... the way it is written it almost feels like it was geared more with adults in mind then children. I must say that FOX really impressed me on how they put the DVD set together. This series only lasted for 13 episodes... and they really did a wonderful job on the DVDs. The picture and sound is much more clean and vibrant then I was expecting... and unlike many of the sets... where you go right from selecting the episode to the episode itself... in this case you get an episode menu where you can not only go to a scene selection... which is cool in itself...many TV Series don't have that... but you also have the ability to watch the episode with or without the "Next Week on Return to the Planet of the Apes" preview attached to the end of the episodes. I thought that was very cool as that is how they originally aired back in 1975.
I guess I am just impressed because I was not expecting such care taken for such a short run series that is so old. I mean.. this series is over 30 years old... and other then the style in which it was made... it looks crisp and clear enough to be a new series. But at the same time I doubt you would get this much of a quality show if they were to make it today. As for the style it was made in... that took me a little getting used to again... but shortly into the first episode I was starting to feel like a kid again.. and was loving every minute of it.

My Thoughts:
I decided to get the rest of this set out of the way. Towards the middle to end of this set I really started to get into the game... and it wasn't as hard for me to get through any longer. So I really did enjoy the set. The question remains if I will find any re-watch value in it. That I not sure about yet. I think the competitions would be fun to watch again... but the day to day drama which is the bulk of this series... that I think would become boring with the next viewing. But I won't know for sure till enough time goes by that I am tempted to watch it again.

A Haunting: Seasons 1 & 2 (Disc 3)
In sixteen chilling tales of the supernatural, on 3 DVDs, New Dominion Picture's 'A Haunting,' takes you inside real-life horror stories. The series originally aired on the Discovery Channel, and each eerie one-hour episode features eyewitness accounts and cinematic re-enactments of some of most spine-tingling, ghostly hauntings ever recorded, filmed in actual locations where these apparitions took place. They are all but guaranteed to spook even the most skeptical observer, but you can judge for yourself: are they imagined, or are they real?
Episode by episode, you'll be shocked and surprised by the spell-binding tales. Take the case of the dance club haunted by ghosts from a by-gone era, the child inhabited by evil that only an exorcism will cure, or house-haunting specters, scaring the wits out of their unsuspecting victims. 'A Haunting' explores these and many other unexplainable, eerie, and macabre tales of the paranormal.
By the end of each amazing story, you will experience a lingering sense that life and death are much stranger than you could have possibly imagined!
My Thoughts:
This completes the boxset. I have really enjoyed this series a lot. This is one of the best shows I seen on Haunting Documentaries. I will definitely be getting the 3rd season (and beyond) as soon as I can. I really can't wait to see some more. There is no extras on this set what so ever... even though I don't know what kind of extras they could put on something like this... I would have liked to seen a little something... even if only trailers for other shows.

Witchblade: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
New York homicide detective Sara Pezzini (Yancy Butler) doesn't know why the forces of the universe have chosen her to possess the awesome living weapon called the Witchblade. But it is hers to wear and to wield in the fight against crime, although it comes with a terrifying price. Evil foes seek the Witchblade, setting in motion an ongoing battle that may cost the lives of those Sara holds dearest.
In these 24 live-action episodes based on the popular comic books, Sara gradually discovers her amazing ancient link to the mysterious weapon as she wars against evildoers both natural and supernatural. The cutting edge of excitement belongs to Sara Pezzini - and the Witchblade.
My Thoughts:
This disc contains the first 3 episodes (Pilot movie plus next 2 eps). It turns out what I remember seeing before is the pilot movie. So all the episodes are completely new to me. So far I am definitely enjoying the show... but it is not one that has really drawn me into the storyline as of yet. But I can see myself getting into it. I am planning on watching this series slowly... but who knows... if I do really get into it I probably won't be able to help myself.

Two Moon Junction
Sparks ignite into flames of passion when a socialite meets a sensual stranger in Two Moon Junction, an erotic adult drama from director Zalman King (Nine 1/2 Weeks, TV's "Red Shoe Diaries") that features "some of the steamiest sex scenes this side of an X rating" (David Sheehan, KNBC).
Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) stars as April DeLongpre, a beautiful southern debutante who's about to marry a handsome man as priveleged as she. But stirring within the refined April is a raging sexual desire that erupts when she locks eyes with Perry (Richard Tyson, There's Something About Mary), a rough-hewn, muscle-bound carnival worker. Drawn together in an erotically-charged confrontation of wills, they embark on a journey of unquenchable desire that will change their lives forever.
My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies a friend of mine sent me while cleaning out here DVD Collection of movies she no longer wanted. It is ok for what it is I guess... but for the most part I found the story boring. Sure... it has it's share of sex... but in my opinion it takes more then that to make a good movie.

Greatest American Hero: Season 1 (Disc 1)
William Katt stars as mild-mannered high school teacher Ralph Hinkley whose close encounter with aliens leaves him with a super-power suit that only he can control. But when Ralph loses the instruction manual, the safety of mankind is left in his fumbling hands. Now with the help of his attorney girlfriend Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca) and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp), the world's most unlikely flying crime fighter is ready for action. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO!
Michael Paré and Faye Grant co-star in the Emmy-nominated '80s hit created by Stephen J. Cannell. This collection features every first season episode - including the Emmy-nominated pilot - plus all-new interviews with the show's stars and the unaired pilot for the proposed spin-off series THE GREATEST AMERICAN HEROINE.
My Thoughts:
While watching all those shows from my childhood for my current marathon I got in the mood to watch the pilot movie to this series from my teen years. Only problem is I couldn't stop at just the pilot movie. I just find this show so fun. And I am not the only one... as Brittany was in here watching it with me... and she was non-stop laughing at this show. Laughing so hard she can barely breath. She got such a kick out of Ralph not being able to fly straight. The more he tried the fly the harder she would laugh.
So I ended up watching the entire first disc which includes the pilot movie where Ralph gets the Super-Suit... plus the next 2 episodes. They were all a lot of fun... all good episodes... but unfortunately there was no extras what so ever on the disc.

The Cosby Show: Season 1 (Episodes 9-12)
The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family from New York City. Clff and Clair Huxtable are a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in TV history.
For the first time on DVD, enjoy all twenty-four episodes from the initial season of this landmark comedy classic.
My Thoughts:
I felt like watching a few episodes of this one tonight. Been good episodes... but most of the episodes I watched today I have recently seen on the volume sets that were given to me. So I found myself a little disinterested in these episodes this time around. But I am sure I will be getting to the episodes I haven't watched recently here soon.

V: The Complete series (Episodes 1-2)
They came for water. And for food. And as it turned out, we were the food. But humanity bravely resisted - a struggle seen in the hit miniseries ‘V’ and ‘V: The Final Battle’. Yet the war continues.
The heroic conflict comes to a surprising outcome in ‘V: The Series’, presented complete and uncut in this 3-disc, 19-episode set. Once again, Earth is the main battleground. But now the aliens whose human guise hides their true reptilian natures are wiser. They believe the secret to their survival on Earth lies in the DNA of the newly born half-human, half-spaceling Starchild. They intend to capture her. But that's something the world's Resistance Fighters cannot allow.
My Thoughts:
This seems to be a decent enough series. I am enjoying it enough to make me glad I purchased it. But I do find it a bit on the slow side. Granted I only watched 2 episodes so far... but this is a series I just don't feel I can watch several episodes at a time... after an episode or two I just get a bit disinterested in it. Now the fact that I haven't watched the miniseries in years could have something to do with it... as I was jumping into the series not really remembering much about the miniseries... and I did feel a little lost.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Freaky Favorites (Disc 1)
With 6 specially selected half-hour episodes from the sixth season of 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?', the members of the Midnight Society keep you on the edge of your seat with their chilling tales. Each night this unique and bold group of teens meets at a secret location in the woods. Attempting to outdo one another, the members of the Society take turns telling the scariest possible stories based, in part, on their real-life experiences. Join the Midnight Society as they deliver thrilling stories of dangerous magic, misleading games, and more!
My Thoughts:
Brittany and I watched the first disc of this set. For those of you that don't know this is a series that Nickelodeon did years ago... kind of a kid friendly horror series... it was their version of Goosebumps. It is a pretty cool series... I like the whole idea of the "Midnight Society". Sounds like something I would have done when I was a kid. The first disc has 3 episodes from the 6th season. This is the season they replaced the kids in the "Midnight Society"... I am sure after 5 years of doing it... they were starting to look too old for the show. The 6th season brought in a young Elisha Cuthbert (Kim Bauer on the series 24)... here is a look of her in this series...
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/2258/cuthbertelishalc2.jpg)
I will have to see what I can do about ordering from Canada for the season sets... as both Brittany and myself enjoys this series... but unfortunately the season sets are not available in the US.

The Adventures of Robin Hood: Season 1 (Episode 9: Checkmate)
This classic television series ran from 1955 to 1960, featuring the tales of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Richard Greene stars as our gallant hero who fought the forces of the evil Prince John, his local official the Sheriff of Nottingham and any aristocrat or ne'er-do-well who threatened the common people and loyal subjects of King Richard. Robin and his band lived in the shelter of Sherwood Forest, fighting their foes and hoping for the day when their beloved King Richard will return from the Crusades to rule once again.
My Thoughts:
Yup... you read right. I only watched one episode this time around. I don't know why but I am having difficulties today trying to figure out what I am in the mood to watch. Part of me is like... none of it sounds good today. But yet another part of me feels like watching something good... not only that... but possibly starting a marathon of something. But I just can not find something that suits me today! This episode I just finished wasn't a bad episode... but it was pretty standard... so it isn't one I was extremely thrilled with either. Almost like it lost a little something that the previous episodes had. Of course that could go towards my mood of not finding something I am really in the mood for.

NCIS: Season 1 (Disc 1)
N.C.I.S.: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON follows an elite team of special agents who operate outside the military chain of command.

My Thoughts:
The mood suddenly hit to watch some episodes of this series. It is one of my favorite of the currently running series. It was fun to watch some of these early episodes again. I feel like I could almost do a whole marathon of this series... but considering I done an NCIS marathon not all that long ago I think it would end up pooping out midway through.

My Thoughts:
Still in the mood to watch this show... so went ahead and watched disc 2... hoping that would be enough to get it out of my system. But it did not. I still feel the urge to watch more. Which is really weird since I watched these not that long ago. Maybe if I pop something else in now I will break this mood.

Addams Family: Vol. 2 (Episodes 5-6)
They're baaaack! The Addams Family, TV's most frightfully funny family returns for more creepy capers and hair-raising hilarity, terrifying their neighbors and delighting viewers like never before! The Addams Family Volume 2 features the ghoulish gang in fine form: Gomez runs for mayor, Lurch becomes a pop star, Uncle Fester turns Pugsley into a chimp, and Cousin It loses his hair! And that's just the beginning! So, turn down the lights and prepare yourself for the ghastly giddiness of The Addams Family... They really are a scream!
My Thoughts:
I tried to watch some of this show... but even though I really enjoy the series... I just found I wasn't in the mood to watch it... so I ended up turning it off after only 2 episodes. I think I will go back to NCIS since that seems to be what I am really in the mood for.

OK.... I decided to just embrace the mood that I was in... and finished off the complete first season box set. And let me tell you... I enjoyed every minute of it! Something about this show I really love.... and revisiting the early episodes of the series was a lot of fun for me. But I can now say... the mood has faded. I am ready to move on to something else. Now all the sudden I am in the mood for some movies... so think I will have an extra long movie marathon this weekend. :)

24: Season 3 (Discs 1-6)
It's been three years since CTU agent Jack Bauer thwarted a terrorist attempt to plunge the United States into war. Now he's back in L.A. after working undercover for six months bringing down drug lord Ramon Salzaar. But then the FBI receives a phone call threatening the release of a deadly virus in Los Angeles if Salzaar isn't released from prison within six hours. As CTU races to locate the virus, Jack realizes that the only way to prevent additional terrorist demands is to find the source of the virus–by breaking Salzaar out of prison himself.
My Thoughts:
After recently watching Season 5 of 24... the season with the nerve gas... I had the urge to watch season 3 again. Season 3 is one of my favorite seasons. It is similar to season 5 as there is a deadly virus being used this time around. I felt this was a very strong season. I especially liked the hotel storyline involving Michelle. This season made Michelle one of my favorite characters of the entire series run so far. It showed how strong she really is. Anyway... I had a great time watching this season again over the past week.

Psych (Pilot)
When Shawn Spencer is arrested for calling in an accurate tip to the police because only the perpetrator would know the details, his only way out is pretending to be a psychic. It turns out Santa Barbara PD isn't done with him. They ask him to consult on a kidnapping case, and a business is born.
My Thoughts:
The pilot episode of Psych is a bonus feature on the 5th season set of Monk. I have heard of this series... but have never watched it. I always was curios about it... and was wanting to blind buy the set eventually. Now I was able to get a taste of the series without buying the season set. Well now I really want to get the season sets. I enjoyed every minute of it... seems to be a good companion piece for Monk. I liked the characters... and enjoyed the story. So I am now looking forward to adding this series to my collection.

Monk: Season 5 (Disc 1)
It's time to tidy up for another season with Primetime Emmy® Award and Golden Globe® winner Tony Shalhoub in all 16 Season Five episodes of 'Monk', television's most fresh and funny series. Gumshoe Adrian Monk would never actually have gum on his well-polished shoes: in addition to intelelect and instinct, he also has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Though his eccentric traits bewilder his colleagues Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard), Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), Monk's attention to detail keeps crime–and grime–off the streets. Included in this highly collectible 4-disc set are both the black & white and color versions of the noir-style episode "Mr. Monk and the Leper," obsessively good bonus features and the pilot episode of the hit comedy-drama 'Psych.' Follow the clues to Season Five of 'Monk', the quirky and original show 'TV Guide' hails as "alternatively hilarious and touching."
My Thoughts:
This is the season that I only caught a handful of episodes as they aired... so I am expecting many episodes I never seen before. That is why I was surprised to see there was only 1 episode on the first disc that I never seen before. This is a really fun series... a bit ridiculous yes... but definitely fun. Actually I believe the fact that it is ridiculous is what makes this one so fun.

I felt like finishing off this set. Over half the episodes in this set I have never seen before.. so that made it even more fun to watch it. There was a lot of really good episodes in this season. I really like Traylor Howard on this series... she plays her character great... and that's not even mentioning she is cute as can be. I really enjoyed all the episodes this season... though a couple of them could have been done better. But over-all I am more then satisfied with this purchase.

The Best of the Match Game (Disc 2)
Get ready to match the stars...
...as we play everyone's favorite BIG MONEY NATCH GAME! On DVD for the first time ever, this is your chance to experience 30 of the greatest episodes of this iconic gameshow, uncut and beautifully transferred from their original masters.
As one of the most popular television game shows in the '70s and early '80s, watch the nostalgia masterpeice with a sharp fashion sense and a disco diva style. 'MATCH GAME' is a classic with a rich TV history watched by millions over it's broadcast lifetime and now fondly remembered as part of growing up around the TV set.
From your favorite stars, including 'MATCH GAME' perennials Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Betty White and Richard Dawson to Gene Rayburn's custom microphone and crazy antics - this collection has it all! Enjoy hours of rare bonus material including the pilot episode of 1962's "The Match Game", a special tribute to Gene Rayburn, an exclusive interview with Brett Somers and much more!
My Thoughts:
This disc has another 8 episodes. Episodes that aired from the '70s to the early '80s. These episodes are a lot of fun. What makes them so much fun is not only the celebrities from the time... but also how pretty much anything could happen. They really goof off a lot on this show. I have heard that the celebrity panel did some drinking while taping the show... with the way these episodes are... I believe it. Quality wise I was a bit disappointed with the first disc... but wasn't that bad on this second disc. It wasn't the best out there... but considering the age of the show it looks and sounds good. The bonus material on disc one had some errors... with disc 2 the bonus material played just fine... so that was an improvement as well.

The Bob Newhart Show: Season 1 (Disc 1 Side B)
In this hilarious sitcom from the '70s, Bob Newhart stars as Dr. Robert Hartley, a successful Chicago psychologist specializing in group therapy sessions. Bob's patience is often tested by his patients - including a paranoid grouch with a persecution complex, a hen-pecked husband, and an emotional eater - all trying to "find themselves." Even at home with his wife Emily, Bob is surrounded by an assortment of nutty and neurotic neighbors. But if laughter is the best therapy, you can be sure the good doctor and those who love him make a little progress every day!
My thoughts:
I needed to take a break from my current marathon... so thought I would put in a sitcom for a little bit. This is a really good sitcom... I do enjoy it quite a bit. But I learned that it is one that you can only watch so much of at one sitting. I don't know what it is about the show... but I tend to loose a bit of interest in it if I try to watch too many episodes all at once.

That's because you're not playing "Hi Bob". Every time someone says "Hi Bob" you're supposed to take a shot. One episode and you're trashed. :stars: For extra fun you play "Hola Bob" but you have to use Tequila :drunk:
Check it out (without the drinking is OK since Brittany is around ;) ) The phrase is said so much in an episode it's quite comical. :laugh:

Alien Nation: The Enemy Within
Francisco is forced to confront his own prejudices while investigating the death of an Eeno, a member of a lowly and reviled caste of Tenctonese waste-eaters. On the domestic front, Sikes and Cathy experience culture shock when they decide to move in together, and Francisco is asked to participate in a Tenctonese conception, much to his wife's consternation.
My Thoughts:
This is the 4th TV Reunion movie in the set. I enjoyed it... it is one I have never seen before. I thought the story was really good and that they did a fine job with it. These reunion movies makes me wish there was more then one season to the series. One thing that was odd though. This disc holds the 4th and 5th reunion movie... and the inner circle says that this one is on side A and the last one (The Udara Legacy) is on Side B. Only problem is they seemed to mess up as it is actually the opposite of that. But that is a minor problem to what seems to be a great set otherwise.

Alien Nation: The Udara Legacy
A strange form of post-hypnotic suggestion is sausing law-abiding Newcomers to commit violent crimes, but what is the connection between these crimes and the Udara, a Tenctonese extremist movement dedicated to the overthrow of the Overseers? And, as Susan fretsnover Buck's entrance into the police academy, a deadly secret emerges from her past.
My Thoughts:
This finishes off the Alien Nation reunion movies box set. For some reason going into this one I wasn't expecting all that much from it. But as it turns out I really enjoyed it. I actually think this one is my favorite out of all the movies in the set. The story was excellent. I liked the fact that Bud decided to follow in his father's footsteps. Overall the box set is well worth it. I highly recommend it if you liked the series. I now have (and seen) every incarnation of Alien Nation... from the movie to the series to all 5 reunion movies.

Beverly Hills Cop
The heat is on in this fast paced action-comedy starring Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a street smart Detroit cop tracking down his best friend's killer in Beverly Hills. Axel quickly learns that his wild style doesn't fit in with the Beverly Hills Police Department, which assigns two officers (Judge Reinhold & John Ashton) to make sure things don't get out of hand.
Dragging the stuffy detectives along for the ride, Axel smashes through a huge culture clash in his hilarious, high-speed pursuit of justice.
Featuring cameos by Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot and Damon Wayans, 'Beverly Hills Cop' is an exhilarating sidesplitting adventure!
My Thoughts:
This is just a completely fun movie from beginning to end. I must have watched this movie 100 times since it was originally released... and I enjoy it just as much this time as I did the first time I ever saw it. In my opinion... this is Eddie Murphy at his best. I thought it was a really good combination of comedy and action. Even though there was much more action then comedy it just worked so well together. I highly recommend checking out this one.... as well as the sequels.

Beverly Hills Cop: The Complete Line-Up
Post by: Jimmy on September 08, 2008, 03:42:19 AM
I must admit, that I have never seen the Beverly Hills Cop movies (though they have been countless times on TV).Same thing for me. Probably this is not his fault, but Eddie Murphy really stress me (more the guy that dub him in french). But I'm sure that the difference is not that big between the real one and the dub one.
Post by: RossRoy on September 08, 2008, 06:07:36 AM
Eddie Murphy really stress me (more the guy that dub him in french).
Well personally, I think as far as dubbing voices go, Eddie Murphy's french voice is the most interesting, and one of the few I don't mind. It's actually unique enough, that you automatically assiciate it to Eddie Murphy, and they don't use it for anyone (as far as I know), or not enough to actually bother me.
Nothing more frustrating than realizing that the guy who does the french dub of the Emperor's voice in Star Wars .... is the same guy who did some goodie-do-gooder on another movie which was played by someone else entirely (nobody actually comes to mind).
One of the more offending one is the guy who does John Travolta's french voice. He does so many others it becomes frustrating, because you hear the voice, turn around, and no sign of John Travolta in the movie, it's actually Denzel Washington?? ???
Needless to say, I now watch movies in their original language if I can understand it (I still watch dubbed for non English/French movies)

But I've heard this voice in another movie and after I was in a complete "I can't stop laughing" mode and all my friends that listen that afterward (it was one of my vhs) had the same reaction. Doesn't look that funny, but the movie was a Video Marc Dorcel release (a french label of adult movie) : Belle Angelica Bella. Since than I can't stop thinking that the voice of Sylvester Stallone had done an adult movie :laugh:

Needless to say, I now watch movies in their original language if I can understand it (I still watch dubbed for non English/French movies)We can thank the dvd for that, since here it was impossible to get an original english vhs version at any videoclub.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch: Season 3 (Disc 1)
Doesn't every girl secretly wish she had magical powers? 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'® stars 'Melissa Joan Hart' as the adorable teen who this season finally gets her witch's license. But there's a catch! Before she can use it she must uncover a family secret, with help from her wacky Aunt Hilda ('Caroline Rhea'), wise Aunt Zelda ('Beth Broderick'), and her talking cat Salem (voiced by 'Nick Bakay'). And while they may advise her to keep her magic hidden, at school Sabrina still helps cute steady Harvey ('Nate Richert') and best friend Valerie ('Lindsay Sloane'), while protecting herself against rival Libby ('Jenna Leigh Green') and mean Mr. Kraft ('Martin Mull'). Season 3 highlights include an outrageous Halloween episode, and a finale set in Hawaii, where the family secret is revealed! Included on 4 discs are all 25 episodes of the third season of 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch®!
My Thoughts:
After getting this set yesterday my daughter and I had to dig right in and watch the first disc. As always the episodes were a lot of fun! I was reading an episode guide and see this is the last season for Valerie and Libby... I personally won't miss Libby much as I never cared much for that character... but I will miss seeing Valerie on the show after this season.

Once I started this set the other day I just couldn't stop watching. I don't know what it is about this series that I enjoy so much... but I do know I am planning on getting season 4 before too long. And hope they continue to release this series. Especially the college years which are the episode I have never seen before. Other then a couple episodes I caught on reruns.

The Associated Press reports that Rich's ex-wife, narrowly escaped injury when the aircraft that she was piloting was forced to make an emergency landing in southern UK because of bad weather.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination that pilot error contributed to the accident, and that the Bitch was flying the aircraft alone in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below, taken at the scene, shows the extent of damage to her aircraft. She was very lucky!

Friends: The Complete First Season
You can never have enough Friends. With this Deluxe 4-Disc Set of the Complete Season One, you have more: each episode contains Never-Before-Seen Moments every fan of Friends will savor. And for all loyal patrons of Central Perk, we've brewed up a fresh pot brimming with Bonus Features. Revisit that first year in which Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross first charmed audiences worldwide. You'll be in fabulous company.
My Thoughts:
I felt the need to watch a sitcom... and not knowing what I was in the mood for I ended up settling on the first season of Friends. It has been a while since I have watched an episode. I actually forgot how much I enjoyed this show. I ended up not being able to stop at just one disc. I ended up watching the entire first season straight through.
Post by: addicted2dvd on September 23, 2008, 11:17:53 AM
Friends: The Complete Second Season
Through thick and thin, Friends has become one of the most enduring viewing habits in television history. This Delux 4-Disc Set Of The Complete Second Season delivers a richer roast of Friends pleasure, as each episode includes Never-Before-Seen Moments to make each serving more delicious. More BONUS FEATURES have been percolated to make this the best Friends home video experience yet.
My Thoughts:
Well... the first season just wasn't enough to satisfy me. So shortly after watching the last disc of season 1 I went on to season 2. This season has a lot of good episodes... as well as a lot of good guest stars. I had a great time watching the second season again.
Post by: addicted2dvd on September 26, 2008, 11:42:09 AM
Friends: The Complete 3rd Season
This Deluxe 4-Disc Set of THE COMPLETE SEASON THREE offers even more Friends, since each episode incorporates NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MOMENTS that make each visit with them even more special. Irresistable BONUS FEATURES add to the friendliness of it all. Pull up a couch and enjoy.
My Thoughts:
I really got into an unexpected Friends kick here. That is 3 seasons I have recently watched non-stop now. This third season... while still very enjoyable... I found this season to be a bit of a step down. I just didn't get the same enjoyment out of it as I did the first two seasons. Felt like a slight step down to me. Still very worth watching though.

Friends: The Complete Fourth Season
In this Deluxe 4-Disc Set Of The Complete Season Four, you'll discover more reasons to rejoice: each episode contains Never-Before-Seen Moments not originally broadcast. The set is also loaded with Exclusive Special Features. Watch and rediscover why 'Friends' are TV's unbeatable buddy system.
My Thoughts:
This 4th season I enjoyed more then the last season. A lot of good episodes this season. This is the season that Phoebe is pregnant... and Ross gets together with Emily, the girl from London... and of course the start of something special for Chandler and Monica while in London for Ross' wedding. As I said above I unexpectedly got on a Friends kick... but I think I have now had enough for a while and is time to go to something else.

The Incredible Hulk: Season 2 (Episodes 9-10)
Hit the road again with mild-mannered scientist David Banner (Primetime Emmy® Award nominee Bill Bixby) as all 22 Season Two episodes of 'The Incredible Hulk' smash onto DVD for the first time! After accidental exposure to gamma radiation causes him to transform into the uncontrollable and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno), Dr. Banner travels from town to town seeking a cure. Along the way, he finds action-packed adventures that require his heroic ablilities and his alter ego's immense strength and power. Joining his quest are guest stars Pat Morita, Gerald McRaney, and Mariette Hartley in the role that won her a Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Featured in this must-own-5-disc set are incredible bonus materials, including an all-new on-camera interview with producer Kenneth Johnson and more.
9. STOP THE PRESSES
The ABCs of tabloid reporting spell trouble when a newspaper story on the Hulk includes a photograph that could expose David.
10. ESCAPE FROM LOS SANTOS
A recently widowed woman and David find themselves on the wrong side of jail bars when they are framed for the murder of her crime-fighting husband.
My Thoughts:
I am not what you would probably call a huge fan of The Incredible Hulk... but I am definitely a fan.... I do enjoy watching the episodes now and again. As you can tell by how long it is taking me to watch this set. After all I bought this set back in September of 2007... and I am just now getting to the 3rd disc of the set... over a year later. I just like to take my time and watch when the urge hits me when it comes to this show.
I watched the episode Stop the Presses not all that long ago (Compared to most episodes I haven't seen in 10 to 15 years)... as it was the bonus episode on the first season boxset. I thought it was a pretty good episode. David Banner needs to get a photo that was took of him while working in a restaurant back before it is ran in the newspaper. This episode has Pat Morita (Happy Days, Karate Kid) in it as an Italian Chef.... so that was kinda fun to watch as well.
Escape from Los Santos is one I don't remember ever seeing before. Of course as long as it has been since I seen many of these episodes... it could be just that I forgot them. It is a decent enough episode... but is not one that I will end up calling a favorite. Just a basic episode.

Grey's Anatomy: Season 1
'Grey's Anatomy' is "a winner," raves the 'New York Daily News'. Both a critical hit and fan favorite, season one burst onto the television landscape with gripping plot lines, a sensational soundtrack and hot stars, including Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, and Sandra Oh. Now you can experience all the drama, romance and excitement of 'Grey's Anatomy' from the very beginning.
Meet Meredith Grey, a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Together with her fellow residents in training, Meredith navigates her way through the daily traumas and social landmines of life inside the hospital and out in the real world. 'Grey's Anatomy' is a smart and witty look at young people struggling to be doctors and doctors struggling to stay human.
My Thoughts:
I suddenly got in the mood to watch an episode or two of the first season of this show... what I didn't realize is I would end up watching all of the first season again. Granted it is only 9 episodes during the first season... but I forgot just how much I enjoyed this series. I was once again completely hooked on the episodes. Usually when I watch a show I end up liking a couple to a few of the characters... in this case I found I really like all the characters. Which of course is a big plus for any series. Now that I watched the first season for a second time, I may as well go ahead and get a second look at season 2 as well. I just haven't had enough yet!

Grey's Anatomy: Season 2
Experience the complete second season of TV's most compelling show in an 'expansive 27-episode' DVD set. Witness every minute of the thrilling drama that has become a television event for fans and critics alike. "Week after week, the entire show is mcdreamy," raves 'USA Today'.
Life gets even more intense for the doctors and interns of Seattle Grace Hospital in year two as Meredith and Derek's relationship goes from odd to downright insane with the arrival of Derek's wife, and Alex lets his Izzie obsession out of the bag. You "can't stop watching," says 'TV Guide'.
Experience 'Grey's Anatomy: Season 2 -- Uncut' with over five hours of never-before-seen bonus features, including 'four extended episodes' with scenes too steamy for TV, behind-the-scenes interviews and so much more.
My Thoughts:
After re-watching the first season... I just couldn't stop till I re-watched the entire second season as well. Unfortunately I don't own any of the other releases for this show. So my little marathon must end now. But I really enjoyed this season again. I will have to do something soon about getting season 3. Especially on how season 2 ended!

How I Met Your Mother: Season 1 (Disc 1)
A love story in reverse: 'How I Met Your Mother' is a fresh new comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. When Ted's best friends Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lilly (Alyson Hannigan) decide to tie the knot, it sparks the search for his own Miss Right. Helping him in his quest is his bar-hopping "wing-man" Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a confirmed bachelor with plenty of wild schemes for picking up women. Ted's sights are set on the charming and independent Robin (Cobie Smulders), but destiny may have something different in mind. Told through a series of flashbacks, Ted recalls his single days, the highs and lows of dating and the search for true love.
My Thoughts:
When I bought this the other day at Walmart I never seen a single episode. But I did have several people telling me to check it out. Being a fan of Alyson Hannigan (Lily) and Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) from their previous shows it wasn't to big of a leap to give this one a try. And I am glad I did give it a try... because I am really enjoying this show. It did take me a few episodes to get used to it though.... it started off a little on the slow side but once I got past a certain point I was really enjoying it. I was also a little worried that at first I hated the character of Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) but after a handful of episode I not only got used to him... I even started to like him as he really does bring a little something to that group of friends. I will definitely be getting the other boxsets before too long.

The more I watch of this show the more I am getting into it. I have now finished disc 2... and I am hooked! Even Barney... who I did not like at first... is pretty quickly becoming one of my favorite characters (#1 favorite is still Lily). I really enjoyed the episode where we learn about Barney's long haired peace corp loving hippie past. I found that to be HILARIOUS! I am now sad that I only have the one disc left to watch... I must get season 2 before too long!

My Thoughts:
This completes the second disc of the set. I am really enjoying every minute of this series. I didn't realize how few of the episodes I have seen in the past. So far out of the 9 episodes I watched... there has only been a couple that looked familiar to me. Of course that heightened my enjoyment of this set. I can hardly wait to finish this set... and start on the 2nd season. (which I pre-ordered yesterday!)

Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: Season 1 (Disc 1)
Share the soaring adventure and romantic fun in this Deluxe 6-Disc DVD Set of 21 first-season episodes, including a Feature-Length Pilot and High-Flying Extras. As DAILY PLANET reporters CLARK KENT and LOIS LANE, Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher clash, cooperate and flirt while chasing the hottest stories in METROPOLIS. The hottest scoop of all is Lois's secret heartthrob, the superhero she doesn't know is Clark's alter ego.
My Thoughts:
I had the urge to watch the Pilot Episode of this series... which is a double length episode. After watching that... and noticing that there was only 1 more episode on the disc I figured why not?... and went ahead and finished off the first disc. It was fun seeing how this series started again... and I may do a 4 season marathon of this series at some point... but for now this was enough for me this time around.

Painkiller Jane (Discs 1 & 2)
Kristanna Loken of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Bloodrayne stars as Jane Vasco, a tough-yet-sexy DEA agent recruited by a covert government unit to hunt superhuman neurological aberrations - known as 'Neuros' - who can do dangerous things with their minds. But when Jane discovers that she herself can rapidly heal from any injury, she begins to investigate her own disturbing background. In this sole season of the Sci Fi Channel series, Jane and her team battle assassins, arsonists, time loops, prison breaks, mythical beasts, undead armies, killer hallucinations and more, all in a bullet-riddled world of the very near future where nothing may be what it seems...and pain is always a bitch.
My Thoughts:
Several months ago when I first got this set I watched the first disc of the set. Looking back at what I thought of it at the time (earlier in this thread).... Even though I enjoyed it... the show didn't really impress me all that much. Well When I decided to start watching it again my memory of the first disc was very foggy... so I decided to watch the first disc again before going on to disc 2. I am so glad I decided to do that. This time around I found myself enjoying it much more then I did the first time around. Even from the pilot episode. It seemed to really improve for me on my second viewing. Then when I got to the second disc the show seemed to get even better to me. The last episode on the second disc is my favorite episode so far! In this episode Jane wakes up in the hospital the next morning after getting drunk with a couple good friends from work... she awakens bound to the bed... and is told that she killed one of her good friends the night before while drunk. It was an excellent episode.... even though I pretty much knew what was up from the beginning... it was still a lot of fun to see it played out. I know one thing for sure... it will not go months before I watch disc 3!

Batman: The Movie (1966)
When Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) get a tip that Commodore Schmidlapp (Reginald Denny) is in danger aboard his yacht they launch a rescue mission. But the tip is a set-up by four of the most powerful villains ever who seek to defeat the Dynamic Duo once and for all!
Armed with a dehydrator that can turn humans into dust the fearsome foursome intends to take over the world! Can the Caped Crusaders use their high-flying heroism and groovy gadgetry to declaw Catwoman (Lee Meriwether) ice the Penguin (Burgess Meredith) upstage the Joker (Cesar Romero) and stump the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) in time?
My Thoughts:
I just got this as an early Christmas gift and decided to watch it tonight. I was even more (pleasantly) surprised when my daughter said she wanted to watch it with me. She was curios about the Batman I grew up on. I have not seen this show since I was a little kid. So I went into this movie with pretty much low expectations... I figured it would not hold up to the test of time at all. And yes... this is a corny, cheesy show... but I actually still enjoyed it! What a surprise that was to me. I figured this addition would be for nostalgic reasons only... but I found something I definitely see myself watching again. Sure there was huge plot holes... sure it was as silly as could be... but it also has a charm about it... and I felt like I was back in my childhood again when I watched it. I am actually wanting to watch it again soon so I can listen to the audio commentary with Adam West and Burt Ward. I have to think that will be one entertaining commentary. And what did my daughter think of it?... she enjoyed every second of it! She actually wanted to watch it with the commentary tonight... but I told her we should put that off for a while. So I am really happy I got this movie added to my collection. I would even consider buying the TV Series... if they could ever figure out who owns the rights to it!

Watching this show really brings back memories for me. Makes me feel like a kid again getting up early on Saturday Mornings to watch all the cartoons and kid shows. It was extra fun to watch tonight since Brittany decided to watch them with me... and I love showing her the old shows I grew up watching! The whole time watching this series I was thinking the narrator's voice sounded so familiar... then I saw the name in the credits to realize who it was... it was Ted Knight from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Too Close for Comfort.

Sports Night: the Complete Series (Discs 1-3 [season 1])
Sports Night, a three-time Emmy Award-winning series, turned avid audiences on their ears and eyes for two captivating seasons. Electricfying performances from a stellar ensemble cast that included Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Josh Charles (Dead Poets Society) and Felicity Huffman (Magnolia) propelled this innovative "dramedy" to high critical praise.
Now with this first-time-ever DVD collection, you can experience all the behind-the-scenes bedlam of a nightly cable sports new show that proves the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat aren't always in front of the camera - and aren't always about sports!
My Thoughts:
This is a really great series... I been enjoying revisiting this set a lot. So far I watched the first 3 discs of the set... which is the first season. I normally don't care for anything dealing in sports... but this series really isn't all that much about sports... more a behind the scenes look at putting on a news show. It just happens to be a sports news show.

Facts of Life: Seasons 1 & 2 (Disc 1)
A spin-off of the tremendously popular "Diff'rent Strokes," THE FACTS OF LIFE is the hilarious series that follows housemother Mrs. Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) and her mission to instill values in the girls of Eastland School. The large first season cast included John Lawlor, Jenny O'Hara, Lisa Whelchel, Felice Schachter, Julie Piekarski, Kim Fields, Molly Ringwald, Julie Anne Haddock and Mindy Cohn. By the second season, the show focused on Mrs. Garrett and just four Eastland girls - spoiled Blair, gossipy Tootie, wise-cracking Natalie, and newcomer to the group, rebellious Jo (Nancy McKeon). Under Mrs. Garrett's guidance, these four go from wide-eyed school girls to mature young women ... all while learning THE FACTS OF LIFE! Guest stars include the cast of "Diff'rent Strokes," Helen Hunt and Richard Dean Anderson of TV's "MacGyver."
My Thoughts:
This is one of the shows I used to love to watch back in the '80s. I really don't know what it was about this series that I enjoyed so much... just know that I did enjoy it. I really remembered very little about the first season. Not even 100% sure I ever seen the first season before as I don't remember the other girls that were there. I did think it was pretty cool to see a very young Molly Ringwald in season 1 as one of the original girls. So it was interesting... to say the least... to see these early episodes on the first disc. And I am looking forward to continuing the set.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Season 4 (Disc 1)
The magic and laughs continue as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch returns with all 22 Season 4 episodes, on DVD for the first time ever! This year Sabrina (Melissa Joan Hart) turns eighteen, only to discover she must now mentor another teen witch, Dreama (China Shavers). Also, newly promoted Principal Kraft (Martin Mull) is still dating Aunt Zelda (Beth Broderick), much to the chagrin of Aunt Hilda (Caroline Rhea), who this season buys a magic clock shop.
But with her boyfriend Harvey (Nate Richert), her talking cat Salem (voiced by Nick Bakay), and her new boss Josh (David Lascher) in her corner, this popular teen always saves the day! Highlights include Sabrina and Harvey's prom, plus a season-end twist you won't believe. The magic never ends on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch!
My Thoughts:
This is the last season I saw as it aired. After that the show moved to another channel that we didn't have. I went into this set barely remembering any of the episode. At this point the series does seem to start to go downhill a bit... but so far is still enjoyable. The first thing I noticed is that they re-did the opening sequence this season... unfortunately I personally prefer the old opening sequence. Next thing I noticed is that they dropped 2 characters... Libby and Valerie. A character I liked (Valerie) and one I didn't (Libby). And they brought in 3 new characters... Dreama (ok I guess)... Brad (Don't like him) and Josh (ok I guess). The first disc has the yearly Halloween episode.. it was a fun episode... thought the zombies that came to the coffeehouse where Sabrina is working looked pretty pitiful. But this is a sitcom... and it was done more for laughs then scares... so I guess they worked. Over-all I am glad I got this set... looking forward to watching the rest of the set... and can't wait for season 5 to be released.

Another disc done. This second disc completes the first season. Which also means it is time to say goodbye to Nancy (Felice Schachter), Sue Ann (Julie Piekarski), Molly (Molly Ringwald) and Cindy (Julie Anne Haddock)... and time to say hello to Jo (Nancy McKeon). I am really looking forward to starting the second season... as this is how I remember the show. Not that the first season was bad... it was just different.

My Thoughts:
This disc included the yearly Christmas episode. It was a good episode... but not quite as good as the previous seasons. But it seems like Sabrina's Christmas episodes are always pretty much hit or miss. I think they do a much better job on their Halloween episodes. This disc also has what is probably the most rediculous episode I ever seen as well. That being the last episode on the disc... where Harvey is turned into a superhero. I can't believe how fast I am going through this set this time... I only have one more disc to this set I can watch... then I am waiting for the next season to be released.

Friday the 13th: The Series: The 1st Season - Tales of the Undead (Ep. 10)
It's vengence superhero-style when an embittered comic book writer gets hold of a cursed comic that turns him into Ferrus the Invincible.
My Thoughts:
I felt like watching just a single episode from this series... so this was the next one in the set. It was a right good episode. I definitely enjoyed it. The comic book writer was played by Ray Walston (My Favorite Martian). If there was anything I didn't care for in this episode it had to be how they did the transformation to Ferrus the Invincible. When the change was being done it showed it as drawings in a comic book. And even that wasn't that bad of a thing. It definitely fit with the storyline.

Guest stars include the cast of "Diff'rent Strokes," Helen Hunt and Richard Dean Anderson of TV's "MacGyver."
My Thoughts:
I just couldn't wait to start the 3rd disc (the Second Season) since starting here... this is the way I remember this show. I really enjoyed the early episodes with Jo... where you weren't sure she would be able to fit in... and last. Through-out this disc (if you didn't already know better) you would wonder if she was here to stay or not. I am glad they do keep her... she quickly became one of my favorite characters.

My Thoughts:
I just couldn't help myself... I went ahead and finished off this set. Another good season... though the quality has gone down a little. I must have missed some from this season. I don't remember Harvey finding out Sabrina is a witch. And I never watched much of anything from this point on since this is where the show moved to another channel... one we didn't get. So I am really looking forward to getting season 5 next month.

Angel: Season 1 (Eps. 1-2)
Angel (David Boreanaz), the dashing demon from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," embarks on his own supernatural adventures in Los Angeles. City of Angels. City of Broken Dreams. Between pervasive evil and countless temptations lurking beneath the city's glittery facade, L.A. is the ideal address for a fallen vampire looking to save a few lost souls and, in turn, perhaps redeem his own.
My Thoughts:
I was suddenly in the mood big time to watch some Angel. I was even considering doing all 5 seasons in a marathon. But as sudden as the mood hit to watch it... it left me as well after only 2 episodes. I still very much enjoy the show... but suddenly didn't feel like watching the rest of the disc let alone the entire series.

Friday the 13th: The Series: The 1st Season (Ep. 11-12)
Make a Date With Death....
as Friday the 13th - The Series makes its chilling debut on DVD with all 26 wickedly good first-season episodes on 6 discs! When two distant cousins inherit the strange "Curious Goods" antique shop, they soon discover that their deceased uncle paid the ultimate price for the hexed items in the store: his soul was claimed by Satan. Now, it' up to them and an eccentric antiques dealer to find each diabolical item sold from the store before it manifests it's evil powers. Open the door to true terror with the series that's crawling with psychological suspense and spine-tingling mysteries you won't want to miss!
My Thoughts:
I decided to watch a couple more episodes of this series again. I noticed more and more lately that I haven't even been watching a disc at a time... more like an episode or 2 at a time before moving on to something else. Both episodes watched were pretty good this time around.
First I watched Scarecrow where the cousins goes after a cursed scarecrow that brings the user good crops... but only if perform human sacrifices by pinning a picture of the victim to the scarecrow... which then the scarecrow comes to life and hunts that person.
Next I watched an episode called Faith Healer where a fraudulent faith healer comes across a cursed glove that makes him a true healer... the glove sucks the illness from someone.... but then the healer must place that illness (which is multiplied in intensity) into someone else... or die from the disease himself.
As I said... over-all both good episodes... though I did like the faith healer episode better of the two.

So much so that I couldn't stop from watching the entire first disc of the set. And I have only been watching an episode or 2 at a time lately. I am really looking forward to checking out the rest of the set.

My Thoughts:
The first disc in the set only has the first 2 episodes... but I really enjoyed every minute of watching them. It reminded me just how good this series is. It really is a different kind of superhero show. I like all the different characters and different powers on this show. And yes... my favorite has to be Claire.... the Cheerleader. Very cool.

My Thoughts:
This finishes off the boxset. Some really good episodes on this disc. Especially a very strong episode dealing with a popular girl committing suicide. But at the same time it also has an unfortunately slow and boring episode as a season 2 finale. Which was less of a finale of Facts of Life and more of an attempt to a pilot episode for a new series.

The Secrets of Isis: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
She was Saturday morning's first live-action super heroine, saving lives and stopping crime in a mini-skirt and go-go boots on 'THE SECRETS OF ISIS!' When science teacher Andrea Thomas unearthed a lost treasure on an archaeological dig, she found that the mystical amulet endowed her with the powers given to the ancient 'Egyptian Goddess, Isis!' Now granted the powers of animals and the elements, Isis soared as the falcon soared, ran with the speed of gazelles, and commanded the elements of the sky and the earth. Although her secret identity was unknown to even her closest friends, fellow teacher Rick Mason, or students Cindy Lee and Rennie Carol, Andrea used her powers as Isis to stop criminals, save lives, right wrongs, and teach valuable lessons... Sometimes with the aid of fellow hero 'Captain Marvel (Shazam)!'
Now available on DVD for the first time, the entire two seasons of 'THE SECRETS OF ISIS' contains a treasure-trove of special features, and all the super-powered goodness that the heroine represented. Now, you too can be the heir to... 'THE SECRETS OF ISIS!'
My Thoughts:
Unfortunately my little angel is sick with the stomach flu today. But fortunately for her... that means she gets spoiled today. :P I wanted put in something she would enjoy while in here with me (she still likes to be with Daddy when she is sick). So we decided to pop in the first disc of this set. It was fun for both of us... she got to watch Isis (and make fun of some of the old effects) and I got to be nostalgic.

My Hero: Season 1
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Thermoman – earth's busiest superhero, who lives in England as healthstore owner, George Sunday. Trouble is George is from the planet Ultron and not used to the ways of the world. But his love affair with Janet soon opens his eyes to earthly customs.
My Thoughts:
Since I picked up season 2 this month I decided to watch season 1 again. After all it was only 6 episodes. I started to watch this series with my daughter the other day... but unfortunately she didn't enjoy it. I on the other hand enjoyed it quite a bit. It took me a bit to get used to the UK humor (this is a series from the UK)... but within no time I was laughing at the show. I will admit there was some terms used that I was not familiar with (UK Slang and such)... but I usually pretty much got the drift from the context it was used in. Over-all I really enjoyed it. I just wish they would bring out seasons 3-6 so I could see them all.

My Hero: Season 2
Thermoman (aka George Sunday), a down-to-earth superhero in love, is back for another series of out-of-this world comedy adventures!

I finally get to see the second season of this series. This season has all really good episodes... but also contains my to favorite episodes so far. "Christmas" and "Parents". Now if they would only release season 3 on... then I would be happy.

24: Season 6
After twenty months in a Chinese prison, Jack Bauer is suddenly returned to the United States. But instead of being free, Jack's release is part of a secret deal: his life in return for the location of Hamri Al-Assad, the leader of a terrorist organization that has unleashed a wave of terror across the country. A broken man, physically and mentally, Jack agrees to the exchange. But when he learns that his new captor, Abu Fayed, is actually the man behind the attacks and that his own sacrifice is meaningless, Jack lashes out and escapes. Now he must convince the president and CTU that the man they are trying to kill may be the only man who can end the rapidly escalating violence.
My Thoughts:
Even after 6 seasons this show remains one of my favorites. I love to just turn my brain off and watch this show full of non-stop action! Just the way this show is formulated there is no way of just watching a couple of episodes... or a disc or two. When you start to watch this show you are in it for the entire season. Which is exactly what I did over the last couple days. I wouldn't say this is a favorite season of mine... but I definitely enjoyed it.

Reba: Season 5 (Disc 1 Side A)
Reba is back, and the Hart household is crazier than ever! Country music superstar Reba McEntire returns as the feisty-yet-frazzled head of the uproariously unpredictable Hart family, and this time, everyone has issues. While Cheyenne and Van struggle to save their rocky marriage, Brock is in danger of losing his home and Barbra Jean is simply driving the rest of the family insane! And still, with a little tough love and a whole lot of determination, Reba manages to keep her extended brood together, proving that she really is a survivor in the hilariously heartfelt Season Five of Reba.
My Thoughts:
I just finished the first seven episodes from the latest release. Watching these reminded me how much I enjoyed this series. There was a lot of good episodes in this bunch... but I especially enjoyed the Halloween episode. It will definitely be one that makes it into my annual Halloween Marathon. Only one (very short) season is left to be released on DVD. Hopefully we will see it come out real soon!

Open the door to true terror with the series that's crawling with psychological suspense and spine-tingling mysteries you won't want to miss!
My Thoughts:
These two episodes completes the 3rd disc (of 6) in this set. First I watched an episode called The Baron's Bride which I loved every minute of... after all this episode was about vampires. A guy wears a cape (which looks like Dracula's cape) and he is transformed into a vampire... and the medallion on his cape can make him travel through time. Micki and Ryan grab onto him just as he tries to escape... to find themselves struggling with him in the 1800s. The only thing I did not like about this episode is when they traveled back in time they for some reason decided to make the show Black and White. I think it would have flowed better (for me at least) if it remained in color like the rest of the episode. The second episode called Bedazzled was a good episode... but not as good. In the beginning of the episode Jack and Ryan gets back a cursed object (a lantern) and drop it off at the antique shop. Then they leave for a night out... leaving Micki there alone with a kid she is babysitting. Only thing is the owners of the lantern followed Jack and Ryan... and they want the lantern back.

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Complete Series (Eps. 10-13
Entranced by magicians, comic strips and science fiction magazines, Ray Bradbury began "educating" himself at the Los Angeles Library three to five times a week. By 27 years of age he "graduated," having written several million words. In his early twenties, he supported himself by selling newspapers on street corners and writing for radio programs such as Suspense, Escape, CBS Radio Playhouse, and X Minus One. Bradbury has now written over three thousand short stories -- 400 of which have been published in such magazines as The New Yorker, the New Republican, The Saturday Evening Post, Amazing Stories, Colliers, Dime Detective, and McCall's. He has also written for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and for Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone.
And now, showcased in this 5-DVD set are some of Ray Bradbury's finest works, featuring a plethora of stars like: 'Drew Barrymore', 'Jeff Goldblum', 'Peter O'Toole', 'Sally Kellerman', 'Eugene Levy', 'Shelley Duval', 'Elliot Gould', 'Ray Sharkey', and, of course, 'William Shatner' (Captain Kirk - Star Trek).
My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the last four episodes on the first disc. Watching this first disc I realize these episodes can be hit or miss for me. But I can't complain too much since I did get the entire series (6 seasons!) for only about $20. In the case of the 4 episodes I watched today... no real complaints. The first episode I enjoyed very much. Definitely will be on my top ten episode list. and the other 3 were really just average episodes. But as I said... won't complain since I got all 6 short seasons (65 episodes total) so cheap.

Reba: Season 5 (Disc 1 Side B - Disc 2 Side B)
Reba is back, and the Hart household is crazier than ever! Country music superstar Reba McEntire returns as the feisty-yet-frazzled head of the uproariously unpredictable Hart family, and this time, everyone has issues. While Cheyenne and Van struggle to save their rocky marriage, Brock is in danger of losing his home and Barbra Jean is simply driving the rest of the family insane! And still, with a little tough love and a whole lot of determination, Reba manages to keep her extended brood together, proving that she really is a survivor in the hilariously heartfelt Season Five of Reba.
My Thoughts:
Once I got started on this set there was just no stopping till I finished it. It is just an hilarious sitcom. I enjoyed every second of it. I especially enjoyed the great Halloween episode. And there was many others that stood out as well. I did notice that even though she is credited in ever single episode. the character of Kyra (Reba's younger daughter) was seldomly seen at all this season. I mean there might have been one or 2 very quick scenes with her... but that was about it for the entire season. Makes me wonder if she comes back for the 6th short season. Hopefully that one will be released before too long.

I hadn't realized that the last season was that short. I knew the show ended after that merger or whatever with WB and that other station. I know I was trying to find the new episodes on at times and I couldn't. I always liked it.

Twilight Zone (Eps. 1-6)
Enter a world that will confound, surprise and excite your imagination... Enter the new Twilight Zone. Hosted by award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, this six disc, 43-episode set is your exclusive window into the fantastic stories and amazing performances, updated and inspired by the original classic television series created by Rod Serling. In this thoroughly modern and unforgettable collection, some of Hollywood's most inspired performers tackle some of life's most profound questions. Never predictable... always amazing... The Twilight Zone.
My Thoughts:
Today I felt like watching some episodes of the 2002 version of Twilight Zone. I forgot how much I enjoyed this version. I especially enjoyed an episode called One Night at Mercy where Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) played Death... as well as the one called Evergreen where Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Arcadia) played a troubled teen. If you never seen this version of Twilight Zone I definitely recommend it. It is not as good as the original series... but it is still very enjoyable.

Reba: Season 1 (Disc 1)
When your husband of twenty years divorces you for a woman half his age, it's time to move on to Plan B. For Reba Hart (Reba McEntire), that means not only accepting that her marriage is over, but also accepting that her ex's new wife is pregnant. If that isn't disruptive enough, Reba learns that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant too. So it's out with the old and in with the new as hubby leaves and son-in-law arrives. With all the outrageous domestic obstacles thrown in her path, Reba realizes one thing for sure: life will never be the same in this dysfunctional household!
My Thoughts:
After watching the newly released season 5... I felt like seeing where it all started again. I really enjoyed this series from the first season. Thought everyone involved did a great job. And it was fun watching some of these early episodes again.

Painkiller Jane: Complete Series (Disc 3)
Kristanna Loken of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Bloodrayne stars as Jane Vasco, a tough-yet-sexy DEA agent recruited by a covert government unit to hunt superhuman neurological aberrations - known as 'Neuros' - who can do dangerous things with their minds. But when Jane discovers that she herself can rapidly heal from any injury, she begins to investigate her own disturbing background. In this sole season of the Sci Fi Channel series, Jane and her team battle assassins, arsonists, time loops, prison breaks, mythical beasts, undead armies, killer hallucinations and more, all in a bullet-riddled world of the very near future where nothing may be what it seems...and pain is always a bitch.
My Thoughts:
The more I watch of this series the more I have enjoyed it. This show has a lot of great action as well as the fantasy with the neuros and such. The last episode on this disc had a surprise ending that effects the rest of the series. Now I can hardly wait to watch the next disc!

My Thoughts:
I am still going strong... I am enjoying watching my Reba collection over again. This is such a fun show. These two discs completes the first season set. And I look forward to working on the second season before too long. After finishing off season 5 without Kyra... I really enjoyed watching her sarcastic character again in this set.

My Thoughts:
Felt like watching a couple more episodes of this series. As I have said before... the more I watch this show the more I enjoy it. I am getting to the point now that I am really sorry they canceled this series. In the last episode I watched they touched on the one subject I been wondering about for this entire series. Is it enough to hunt down these mutated people and "chip" them to take away their powers just for the fact that they have the power? Even though in most episodes these "neuros" as they call them has mostly been bad guys... they weren't all bad. But yet they still took their powers... and sent them away... just for being different. Which is something I started to tire of in this series... so I am glad to see this start to come into question.

Reba: Season 2
Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) knew divorce wasn't going to be easy -- she just hadn't anticipated how much her ex-husband's new wife would want to be part of "the family." On top of that, Reba learns that her married daughter isn't going to be moving out of the house with her new husband and baby daughter as planned. Now, with no breadwinner in the house, Reba realizes she'd rather accept a job working for her ex-husband than apply for food stamps. But no matter how hard she tries to make family life run smoothly, Reba soon realizes there's just no darn way to please everyone!
My Thoughts:
After watching first season 5 and then season 1 this past month... I didn't want to stop so over the past few days I watched season 2... yes all the episodes. I am still really enjoying this show... and plan on watching seasons 3 and 4 again yet. But I also need to get other shows in as well... so going to start doing a disc at a time instead of going all out on a set at a time.

Spin City (Disc 1)
Spin City is a smart, sophisticated ABC sitcom about the behind-the-scenes workings of City Hall in the biggest city in America. Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's (Barry Bostwick, Rocky Horror Picture Show) key strategist and much-needed handler.
Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind, Mad About You); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck, Ferris Bueller's Day Off); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman, Arliss); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.
Spin City was an immediate hit when it debuted in 1996. The series reunited Fox with Family Ties executive producer and creator Gary David Goldberg and proved that the magic of their creative partnership was enduring.
My Thoughts:
This is a show I remembered that I used to watch... but didn't remember much about it. I was pleased when I won the season 1 set last month... as it gave me a chance to check out the series again before putting any money into it. After watching the first disc I am enjoying it even more then I remembered. These episodes are funny... the cast is strong... it is a good series that I hope I will be able to collect more seasons of.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this first disc. The cast works together so well on this show. It is like everything just fits perfectly. I really enjoy the season long arc in the 3rd season. It really added something to the show.

7. BOY IN THE TIME CAPSULE
My Thoughts:
Another disc of bones done. This disc has some good episodes on it... including one of my all-time favorite episodes. That being Mummy in the Maze. It was their Halloween episode... and not only was it a great, suspenseful story... it has all the characters in costume... including Dr. Brennen as Wonder Woman.... and Agent Booth as a nerdy "squint". It is just an all-out fun episode. There was also some decent advancement in the "Gormogon" season long arc.

Dead Like Me: Season 1
A Series About Life After Life
You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)!
When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping!
My Thoughts:
What with the new Direct to Video movie from the series coming out on the 17th (which I do have pre-ordered) I thought it would be a good idea to rewatch the entire series before I get the movie. I forgot just how much I enjoyed this quirky series. It is a great show! I actually watched the entire first season in a matter of a couple days time. Going from here I now remember two things... first that the second season wasn't quite as good as the first season... though I still really enjoyed it. And secondly how upset I was when I found out Showtime didn't renew the series after season 2.

My Thoughts:
Another four episodes watched. This season has really been staying strong from episode to episode. I am still really enjoying the season long arc... and while watching I been looking for clues to the twist at the end of the season... but so far I haven't seen any clues for it at all.

Party of Five (Eps. 1-3)
After the sudden loss of their parents, the Salingers must band together to keep their own lives on track, discovering first loves, last calls, and themselves along the rocky road to growing up. Headlined by a young, sexy cast, including Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf, and Lacey Chabert, this highly rated, long-running series (1994-2000) firmly found its place as a pop culture phenomenon for all ages. Shot through with equal doses heartache and laugher, PARTY OF FIVE: COMPLETE FIRST SEASON remains an emotional knockout, delivering 22 episodes of the Golden Globe-winning (Best TV Seris, Drama, 1996) series breakthrough debut season, proving again that home is where the heart is.
Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. Homework
3. Good Sports
My Thoughts:
This was a complete blind buy... I got it free during a buy 1 boxset get 1 free sale. I figured in such a circumstance I can take a chance on a new show. After watching the first 3 episodes I am still not completely sure what I think of the show. It is a slower paced series... pure drama... which I normally don't care for. But the characters and stories are starting to grow on me. So I am thinking the more I watch it the more I may get into it. And I do have something to look forward to if I can get into it... as Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer) joins the cast in the second season.

Episodes:
12.The Baby in the Bough
13. The Verdict in the Story
14. The Wannabe in the Weeds
15. The Pain in the Heart
My Thoughts:
This disc completes the (short) third season. I feel that they did an excellent job with the season long arc. It had a great surprise ending that really worked. Thanks to the writers strike at the time of this season there was only 15 episodes in season 3. Instead of settling with giving us such a short season... the studio opted to give us the first 3 episodes of season 4 in the special features. So I am still looking forward to watching those again... even though it hasn't been that long since I saw them on TV. This is just an awesome series that I can not get enough of!

One Day at a Time: Season 1 (Eps 1-4)
ONE DAY AT A TIME, executive produced and developed by Norman Lear, is one of the most successful TV series of the 1970s and 1980s. Bonnie Franklin stars as Ms. Ann Romano, a newly divorced and very liberated woman trying her best to raise two teenaged daughters., Julie and Barbara, as they start their new life together in Indianapolis. Building superintendent Dwayne Schneider, a Casanove with a pass key, supplies comic relief, while baby-faced attorney David Kane tempts Ann to reconsider her single state. But Ann's priority is discovering her own potential, and helping her daughters discover theirs - ONE DAY AT A TIME!
Episodes:
1. Ann's Decision
2. Chicago Rendezvous
3. Jealousy
4. How to Succeed Without Trying
My Thoughts:
Watching this show again after so many years... I have to say... my memory didn't serve me as well as I thought. I mean I still enjoyed the show... but it wasn't quite as funny as I remembered it. At least not going by the first 4 episodes. Of course it could also be that I really don't remember this first season all that well anyway... I remember the later seasons much better. So it could be that the show picked up pace a bit after the first season. Unfortunately the first season is all that is available on DVD at this time. I don't remember Schneider having a thing for Ann in the show like he does in this first season... so that seemed a bit on the weird side to me. And I really don't care for that lawyer character that has a thing for Ann either. But over-all it is a good sitcom... sometimes the memory just makes you think things are better then they actually were I guess.

My Thoughts:
Even though it hasn't been all that long since I seen these episodes I still enjoyed them very much. As I am sure I will again when the season 4 set is released. I can't believe how fast I went through this set. I just couldn't stop watching it this show... it is one I wouldn't think twice about recommending to anyone.

Square Pegs: Complete Series (Eps. 1-4)
SQUARE PEGS follows the hilarious misadventures of Patty (Sarah Jessica Parker, TV's "Sex and the City") and Lauren (Amy Linker), two freshmen girls desperate to fit in at Weemawee High School. Befriended by oddball characters Marshall (John Femia), a budding comedian, and Johnny Slash (Merritt Butrick), a wacky new-waver, Patty and Lauren still hope to impress the popular kids: valley girl Jennifer (Tracy Nelson), her tough boyfriend Vinnie (Jon Caliri), and their sassy friend LaDonna (Claudette Wells). And it would "behoove us" to not forget Muffy (Jami Gertz), the ever-peppy preppie!
Acclaimed by critics, SQUARE PEGS struck a chord with viewers of all ages and developed a huge cult following. Featuring guest stars Bill Murray, Martin Mull – plus New Wave acts Devo and The Waitresses (who perform the opening theme) – all 19 digitally remastered, rad episodes are now available in this awesome 3-disc set, on DVD for, like totally, the first time ever!
Episodes:
1. Square Pegs (Pilot)
2. A Cafeteria Line
3. Pac-Man Fever
4. Square Pigskins
My Thoughts:
What to say about this series... It is a show I watched years ago when it first ran.... but it has been so long since I seen it I really don't remember any of it. I can't get over how young Sarah Jessica Parker was in this series... makes me feel old! I was in high school myself when this first ran... and even though over-exaggerated... I hate to admit how close to how my high school this was. And all those '80s styles and such... were we really that bad? Could almost make you ill thinking about it! The show itself is entertaining... but at this point I would say not as good as I remembered it being. It really started off a bit on the average side... but it did seem to start to pick up after the first couple episodes... so I have hopes that it will pick up some more.

Dead Like Me (Discs 1-4)
Proving that "reapers are anything but grim company" (The Plain Dealer), this "deliciously dark comedy about the afterlife" (Newsday) returns for "a second season as strong as its first" (Philadelphia Daily News) with guest appearances by Eric McCormack ("Will & Grace") and Gavin DeGraw. Thanks to breakout star Ellen Muth's "prickly charm," "Dead Like Me" has "an amusingly odd and touching energy all its own" (Detroit Free Press).
After more than a year as a grim reaper, George (Muth) has realized that being a teenager in the afterlife is as complex as in real life. There are still unrequited crushes, agonizing dilemmas and the occasional bad attitude. Along with her kooky co-reapers Daisy (Laura Harris), Mason (Callum Blue), Roxy (Jasmine Guy) and Rube (Mandy Patinkin), George struggles to collect souls while managing her own awkward development... into a mature reaper!
My Thoughts:
I just finished off the entire second season of Dead Like Me. I ended up watching the entire 2 season run in preparation for the release of the new Dead Like Me: Life After Death movie that is released on Tuesday. Oddly... especially considering how much I enjoyed this series... I bought season 2 on April 5. 2007 and until now I never watched the DVDs. It really is a great series... it is such a shame Showtime decided to cancel it after only 2 seasons. It is strange... my favorite episodes of this series is the Pilot Episode and Haunted (the final episode). Not that all the episodes aren't all good... because they are. Now I am looking forward to watching the new movie... hoping to have it in time for my next Weekend Movie Marathon.

5. David Loves Ann
6. Julie's Best Friend
7. Super Blues
My Thoughts:
As I said when I watched the first four episodes... I was never much of a fan of the lawyer David that was so much in love with Ann. But I have to admit... he is starting to grow on me. I think when I was watching this as a kid... my attention span didn't go much further then the 2 teen daughters on the show... but now that I am older I am appreciating the entire show more. These 3 episodes were all really good. Especially episode #5... David Loves Ann... that episode had some really funny moments in it.

Befriended by oddball characters Marshall (John Femia), a budding comedian, and Johnny Slash (Merritt Butrick), a wacky new-waver, Patty and Lauren still hope to impress the popular kids: valley girl Jennifer (Tracy Nelson), her tough boyfriend Vinnie (Jon Caliri), and their sassy friend LaDonna (Claudette Wells). And it would "behoove us" to not forget Muffy (Jami Gertz), the ever-peppy preppie!
Acclaimed by critics, SQUARE PEGS struck a chord with viewers of all ages and developed a huge cult following. Featuring guest stars Bill Murray, Martin Mull – plus New Wave acts Devo and The Waitresses (who perform the opening theme) – all 19 digitally remastered, rad episodes are now available in this awesome 3-disc set, on DVD for, like totally, the first time ever!
Episodes:
5. Halloween XII
6. A Simple Attachment
7. Weemaweegate
My Thoughts:
I am really enjoying this show more with every episode I watch. To this point my favorite episode would have to be the Halloween episode. It is a really fun episode. A close second would have to be Weemaweegate. It really had a lot of fun scenes... though it was pretty obvious who was playing the tricks on Vinnie in it. I pretty much knew it from the beginning of the episode. I am really looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes.

Sure there were some episodes that were not quite as good as the others... but even those episodes were above average. This is a fun show with lots of fighting action. I definitely enjoyed my morning watching the first disc.

As would my daughter... this is now one of Brittany's favorite old series.

Still working at the coffeehouse with her secret crush Josh (David Lascher), Sabrina is surprised when Aunt Hilda (Caroline Rhea) decides to buy the popular establishment. And since Aunt Zelda (Beth Broderick) now teaches at Sabrina's college, talking cat Salem (voiced by Nick Bakay) is able to conjure up even more Outrageous schemes!

8. Some of My Best Friends Are Half-Mortals
My Thoughts:
Now this is nice... watching an old favorite... but episodes I have never seen before. This is the year Sabrina goes to college. But it is also the year it left ABC to go to The WB. And at the time we didn't get The WB in our area... by the time we did get it Sabrina was off the air. So from this point on... all new episodes to me! I was a little worried about the transition to college... but Over-all I am really enjoying it so far. And I like the new cast members. So far my favorite episodes has been You Can't Twin and The Halloween Scene.

Party of Five (Eps. 4-5)
After the sudden loss of their parents, the Salingers must band together to keep their own lives on track, discovering first loves, last calls, and themselves along the rocky road to growing up. Headlined by a young, sexy cast, including Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf, and Lacey Chabert, this highly rated, long-running series (1994-2000) firmly found its place as a pop culture phenomenon for all ages. Shot through with equal doses heartache and laugher, PARTY OF FIVE: COMPLETE FIRST SEASON remains an emotional knockout, delivering 22 episodes of the Golden Globe-winning (Best TV Seris, Drama, 1996) series breakthrough debut season, proving again that home is where the heart is.
Episodes:
4. Worth Waiting For
5. All's Fair
My Thoughts:
After five episodes this series is slowly starting to grow on me. I am usually not much for strict dramas... but the characters on this series is likable and the stories are good. So I do feel myself being drawn into the storyline. Only problem is this is a pure drama... which means I will only be able to handle about 2 to 3 episodes per viewing.

Episodes:
12. The College Man
13. Father David
14. Dad Comes Back – Part 1
15. Dad Comes Back – Part 2
My Thoughts:
This finishes off the first season. It is a rather short season... but I enjoyed it a lot. More then I remembered enjoying it when I first seen the series on TV. I would really like to see the second season released. I would really hate to see only these 15 episodes in my collection.

10. Sabrina's Perfect Christmas
11. My Best Shot
12. Tick-Tock Hilda's Clock
My Thoughts:
Four more episodes that I really enjoyed. I especially enjoyed the Christmas episode. One thing that caught me off guard... in the last couple episodes I watched... there was a change that I am still not totally sure how I feel about it. In it Sabrina dyed her hair a dark red. Don't get me wrong... red hair on a woman is my all-time favorite... but it just seemed weird on her at this point. At this point I hope it isn't a permanent thing.

7. Sub Rosa
8. Minimum Security
My Thoughts:
Four more episodes of this show. As I siad before... it is one of my favorites that I have been watching since it originally premiered on TV. These are all good episodes. Though for me... the episode Minimum Security is not as good as the previous episodes. It is still well worth watching.

My Thoughts:
Decided to watch a some more episodes today. For the most part these were good episodes. Though I didn't care too much for Starstruck... I really enjoyed The Four Musketeers. I have to admit the paint fight in that one looked like a lot of fun! Now there is only eight episodes left for me to enjoy in this set. I would be thrilled to hear season 4 is being released... but I won't hold my breath.

Moonlight: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
Any private eye knows a lot about other people's secrets. L.A. private eye Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) has a secret of his own. He's a vampire, dwelling in a covert netherworld complicated by friendship with an undead finance honcho (Jason Dohring), memories of the alluring ex-wife (Shannyn Sossamon) who turned him into a vampire, and a relationship with a human (Sophia Myles) he feels drawn to protect – and maybe to love. But no matter how tempting, Mick knows a vampire-human romance is eternally dangerous.
This 16-episode, 4-disc set of the series voted the 2008 People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama is a sure entertainment bet for all who like their vampire stories sleek, intense and passionate.
Episodes:
1. No Such Thing as Vampires
2. Out of the Past
3. Dr. Feelgood
4. Fever
My Thoughts:
This was one of my favorite new shows of last season. I feel it had a very strong start.. as the first few episodes was some of the best. And it continued to be good through-out it's short run. Unfortunately it found problems... from what I believe... due to the writers strike. And unfortunately this very liked series (winner of 2008 people's choice award) was canceled way before it's time.

16. Sabrina, The Muse
17. Beach Blanket Bizarro
My Thoughts:
I watched 5 more episodes today. There was another holiday episode on this disc (the first being the Christmas ep)... this time a Valentine's Day episode. Which was a pretty good episode. Unlike the last episode I watched. Beach Blanket Bizarro has to be the worst episode I have seen so far in the entire 5 seasons of the show that I have in my collection! It was just terrible!

My Thoughts:
Four more episodes of this great series. I am really enjoying revisiting the first season. Though after this disc I think I will take a break from the show for a while. I want to try to catch up on the many other shows that I have fell behind on. The episodes on this disc was all very good... I especially liked My Other Left Foot.

24. Read No Evil
My Thoughts:
This finishes off the season 3 set. I really enjoyed watching these old episodes again. I would love to see more seasons released... but I don't expect to see anymore. This episode has some really good episodes on it. Especially the last 2 episodes. The episode Jo's Cousin had Jo off visiting family for her cousin's birthday. I don't know if it ever made it into one... but the family that she went to visit would have made a great spin-off series of their own. I know I would have been interested in seeing it.

Charmed: Season 1 (Disc 1)
The discovery that they are descendants of a long line of witches finds three sisters battling demons and warlocks - and occasionally each other.
When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book Of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power. The strong-willed Prue (Shannen Doherty) can move objects, reserved Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) sees the future. Individually, each is strong, but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vanquish evil. Each exciting episode in this richly layered series is a supernatural adventure brewing with suspense and humor.
Episodes:
1. Something Wicca This Way Comes
2. I've Got You Under My Skin
3. Thank You for Not Morphing
4. Dead Man Dating
My Thoughts:
I got a huge urge to watch some Charmed... so I pulled out the first season set to watch how the show all started. The first four episodes of the series. All very good episodes... but I especially enjoyed Something Wicca This Way Comes which is the pilot episode and Dead Man Dating which is an episode that has a lot of Piper (Holly Marie Combs) which is my favorite of the three sisters.

I watched the Charmed pilot twice so far and never felt any urge to watch another episode.
I find that for most show that I've already seen before, I can easily quell any urge to watch it by watching the pilot, followed by the series finale. Must be a psycho thing ;)

11. A Child's Christmas in Weemawee
My Thoughts:
Today I started the second disc in the set. I was really getting into this show... but unfortunately these 4 episodes didn't help matters any... as it seem to take a little bit of a turn for the worse for me. Still enjoyable... but these half these episodes really didn't keep my interest as much as the ones before it did.

My Thoughts:
Ok... this is the final 5 episodes of the season. It really didn't take me much time to watch this set... but it usually don't when it comes to this show. The fifth season episodes I never seen before... so this made it twice the fun for me. I was concerned with the change in the format of the series... what with Sabrina going off to college... but it worked for me. I enjoyed these episodes just as much as I did the previous seasons! I liked all the new additions to the show... even Josh (who I previously didn't care much for) grew on me. It took a while... but I even got used to Sabrina's dark hair. OK... I am ready for season 6 to come out!

My Thoughts:
Well this finishes off the set. I enjoyed this set more then I thought I would. But at the same time... it could have been better. I really liked the 2 main characters. The rest was entertaining as well. But this series really does amp up the way High School in the '80s was. At least in my area. I mean yes we did have people similar to all the characters on the show. But not to the degree it was shown here. But over-all an enjoyable show that I am glad I added to my collection.

25. What A Mother Wouldn't Do
26. Bottle of Dreams
My Thoughts:
This finishes off season 1. And thankfully I have season 2 here waiting for me to start it... as I really enjoyed watching this series again. Out of these episodes I especially enjoyed The Pirate's Promise... I thought that episode was well done. Bottle of Dreams... the final episode in the season... is a clips episode. An episode that shows many clips from the first season episodes. Even though something like that is really enjoyable when it originally airs... on DVD it can be a little difficult to watch... especially if you watch the DVDs quickly. But in this case... it isn't difficult to watch at all since the wrap-around story is a good story on it's own.

1. Fear in a Desert City
2. The Witch
3. The Other Side of the Mountain
My Thoughts:
This is my first taste of the series. It started off a little on the slow side for me.... but it wasn't long (within the first episode) I found myself hooked on this classic series. The last two episodes on the disc I completely enjoyed from beginning to end. In the last episode on this disc there was a very attractive woman that reminded me of a young Elizabeth Montgomery. It wasn't her... but she did look some like her. When I looked to see who she was... she was a woman named Sandy Dennis. When I checked to see if I have anything else with her in it... expecting maybe an episode of Twilight Zone or something... I was surprised to see a horror movie come up... 25 years after The Fugitive... she played the aunt in 976-EVIL. But as I was saying... it looks like I have another series I am hooked on.

Episodes:
1. Bizarro
2. Kara

My Thoughts:
This is a right strong start to the season. I enjoyed all the episodes. Though I did enjoy the episodes: Kara where we get to know a bit about Kara/Supergirl.... and the episode: Cure where Dean Cain (Superman on Lois & Clark) guest stars as a doctor curing meteor freaks.

8. Blue
My Thoughts:
Just finished the second disc in the set. It is still a strong season... even if I do think the series itself should have ended a couple of seasons prior to this. But that is a whole other topic as I do still enjoy the series quite a bit. On this disc I especially enjoyed the episodes Lara where we get to meet Clark's biological mother... and Wrath where some of Clark's powers gets transferred to Lana.

The Cosby Show: Season 1 (Eps. 13-16)
The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The series depicted a close-knit and prosperous African American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, OB-GYN (Bill Cosby), and his attorney wife Clair (Phylicia Rashad), a happily married, dual-profession couple, had aspirations of raising their five children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Huxtables were truly a groundbreaking family for television.
The Cosby Show was an instant smash hit, holding TV's #1 slot for a record five consecutive years (1985 to 1990), and it remained in the Top 20 shows of all eight seasons it was on NBC. The Cosby Show's popularity was so intense that it has carried over into the 21st century, and in 2005 The Cosby Show is as relevant as it has ever been. The Huxtable's are adored around the world.
13. Rudy's Sick
14. Independence Day
15. Physician of the Year
16. Jitterbug Break
My Thoughts:
I always enjoyed this sitcom. Most all the episodes are well above average... though I do have to admit... Jitterbug Break wasn't really one of my favorites. Even though it does have some good laughs... all that music and dancing puts me off a bit.

Charmed: Season 1 (Disc 3)
The discovery that they are descendants of a long line of witches finds three sisters battling demons and warlocks - and occasionally each other.
When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book Of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power. The strong-willed Prue (Shannen Doherty) can move objects, reserved Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) sees the future. Individually, each is strong, but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vanquish evil. Each exciting episode in this richly layered series is a supernatural adventure brewing with suspense and humor.
Episodes:
9. The Witch is Back
10. Wicca Envy
11. Feats of Clay
12. Windigo
My Thoughts:
This puts me half way through the first season. This disc has one of my favorite episodes on it. That being Windigo... which is where Piper is infected by a werewolf type creature called a Windigo. Of course this would be one of my favorite episodes... after all it is one that centers around Piper... which is my favorite character.

Friday the 13th: The Series: Season 2 (Disc 1)
Now there are even more reasons to watch out for Friday the 13th - The Series as all 26 Season Two episodes of the sinister suspense show come to DVD in a collectable 6-disc set! Aware that their uncle's diabolical pact with the devil is the reason for the cursed objects in his shop, two distant cousins continue in a race against time to track down the deadly items purchased from the store before they wreck havok on innocent souls. It's a twisted trip into psychological terror that will leave you chilled to the core!
Episodes:
1. Doorway to Hell
2. The Voodoo Mambo
3. And Now the News
4. Tails I Live, Heads You Die
My Thoughts:
Well... finally into the season 2 episodes. I have to say... of all the episodes I have watched on DVD so far (including Season 1)... The Voodoo Mambo has to be my least favorite episode so far. But I really did enjoy And Now the News on this disc. I was reading online where Ryan is no longer on the show in season 3... and he is replaced with a new character. I do not remember this from when it originally aired. I don't think I ever seen the 3rd (final) season. So now I am really hoping we will see season 3 out before too long.

Episodes:

14. Secrets and Guys
15. Is There a Woogy in the House?
16. Which Prue is it Anyway?
My Thoughts:
Four more episodes of the first season of Charmed. This disc has one of my favorite episodes on it. From Fear to Eternity... This is the first appearance of the Demon of Fear played by Billy Drago. This character intermittently returns through-out the entire series run. Then there is the other side of it... one of my least favorite episodes... Is There a Woogy in the House?... for some reason I never liked the "Phoebe is Evil" stories.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 1 (Disc 1)
Set in the 24th century and decades after the adventures of the original crew of the starship Enterprise, this new series is the long-awaited successor to the original "Star Trek" (1966). Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the all new Enterprise NCC 1701-D travels out to distant planets to seek out new life and to boldly go where no one has gone before.
Episodes:
1. Encounter at Farpoint
2. The Naked Now
3. Code of Honor
My Thoughts:
Even though I am a fan of the series... I unfortunately only have the first two seasons.... due strictly to the price of the series. As much as I enjoyed the Original Series I prefer this one. I guess that is mainly because of all the advancements done between the series. I never got to see this series (or any of the Star Trek series) when it originally aired. My favorite episode on this first disc is The Naked Now. My favorite character on this series was always Lt. Tasha Yar... played by Denise Crosby. Unfortunately she is not in much of the series... only the first season and I believe part of season 2. I would like to eventually continue my collection of this series (as well the original series and check out the other series in the franchise)... but afraid at the prices they are that may never happen.
Post by: DJ Doena on March 15, 2009, 05:29:07 PM
Thus I am not particulary sorry about Denise's leaving.
She will return as the romulan Commander Sela in later seasons.
The episode The Naked Now (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Naked_Now_(episode)) is a re-use of the storyline of TOS's The Naked Time (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Naked_Time_(episode)). This has happened a number of times during the first season of TNG.

18. When a Bad Warlock Turns Good
19. Out of Sight
20. The Power of Two
21. Love Hurts
22. Deja Vu All Over Again
My Thoughts:
This completes the first season of the series. There is a couple of episodes I really enjoyed on these discs. Especially That '70s Episode where we meet the sisters' mother for the first time.... and Out of Sight where Prue uses her magic through her hands for the first time. No more squinting at everything.

EPISODES:
1. Pilot
2. Deep Throat
3. Squeeze
4. Conduit
My Thoughts:
This is a series that I caught late (first started watching around season 4)... but I was immediately hooked on once I started to watch it. Well up till about season 8 or 9 at that time. I caught up on the early seasons on DVD when they were released. This disc contains the first four episodes... all of which were real good... but Squeeze really stood out for me. But I have always enjoyed the stand alone episodes more then the arc stories involving the aliens and such.
Post by: Jimmy on March 17, 2009, 06:46:36 PM
I have always enjoyed the stand alone episodes more then the arc stories involving the aliens and such.Perfectly normal, you're are an horror fan and most of these episode are the "monster of the week" type. One day I will have to rewatch the serie too, but 9 seasons is a long watch since I am unable to jump from one serie to another like you.
Post by: addicted2dvd on March 17, 2009, 06:51:30 PM
But yeah... always liked the "Monster of the Week" type episodes better then the arcs for this show.

On this disc some episodes was better then others... but I especially enjoyed the Two-Face two-parter. Brittany watched this entire set already... and this disc has her favorite episode on it... so she watched it again with me... that episode being I've Got Batman in My Basement.

Spin City: Season 1 (Disc 2)
Spin City is a smart, sophisticated ABC sitcom about the behind-the-scenes workings of City Hall in the biggest city in America. Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's (Barry Bostwick, Rocky Horror Picture Show) key strategist and much-needed handler.
Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind, Mad About You); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck, Ferris Bueller's Day Off); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman, Arliss); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.
Spin City was an immediate hit when it debuted in 1996. The series reunited Fox with Family Ties executive producer and creator Gary David Goldberg and proved that the magic of their creative partnership was enduring.
Episodes:
7. Grand Illusion
8. The High and the Mighty
9. Meet Tommy Dugan
10. The Competition
11. Dog Day Afternoon
12. Criss Cross
My Thoughts:
Once again remembering just how much I enjoyed this sitcom. This disc has a lot of really good episodes. I enjoyed the whole disc. There is also a few great guest stars/Familiar faces on this disc. First we have George Wendt in The High and the Mighty... then we have Woody Harrelson in Meet Tommy Dogan. And finally in The Compitition (a Thanksgiving episode) we have the always lovely Jennifer Garner (Alias).

From the intense season opener, when the trio battles an old foe who attempts to render then powerless, to the suspense-filled, and at times very humorous season finale, these beauitiful heroines will have you wish for more.

Episodes:
1. Witch Trial
2. Morality Bites
3. The Painted World
4. The Devil's Music
My thoughts:
I still find myself in the mood to watch Charmed... so I started the second season. The first 2 episodes on the disc is good... but the last 2 episodes on this one is I am less then happy with. Never been much of a fan of either. I would say my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Morality Bites where the sisters go into the future to stop Phoebe from being burned at the stake.

Episodes:

10. Persona
11. Siren
12. Fracture
My Thoughts:
I decided to watch four more episodes of Smallville today. The episodes on this disc is all good... but I would have to say my favorite episode of the disc would have to be Siren... where we meet the Black Canary... which was played by Alaina Huffman who played Maureen Bowers on the short-lived series Painkiller Jane.

My thoughts:
Finished another disc of Charmed. Still enjoying watching these old episodes. Though I may slow down a bit to watch Start Trek: The Next Generation more... this way I can remind myself and be prepared for Season 3 when it comes. These were all strong episodes... but none that I would actually call favorites.

This was a very strong start to the season. I enjoyed all 3 episodes on this disc. I especially enjoyed both The Attic and Hidden Terror. I so enjoyed this disc... I can't wait to watch some more of this series.

I really enjoyed this season... though I was sorry to see Dr. Crusher was not in this season. Though I do see from the cast of season 3 set that she returns. The doctor in this season was fine... but she was no replacement for Dr. Crusher. I had a lot of fun rewatching these episodes... and now looking forward to watching some new (to me) episodes.

ER: Season 1 (Disc 1
I first wrote 'ER' back in 1974 as a record of my experiernces as a medical student in a hospital emergency room. But it was not until the fall of 1994, 20 years later, that these stories appeared as a new television series. That must surely be the longest creative gestation in modern television, but it was worth it. Audiences found the show to be fast-paced, fresh and real, and it drew a loyal following from it's very first episode. But if past was remarkable, the future was even more so: none of us in those early days of 'ER' could have anticipated it's long and remarkable run as one of the best and most popular television shows in the history of the medium. From it's early days to the the exciting present, it's been one long thrill for me, and I think for audiences as well. Enjoy!
Micheal Crichton, June 2003
My Thoughts:
This first disc contains the first 7 episodes of the series. Since I ordered season 4 I thought I would watch a handful of episodes to kinda get me in the mood of the series for when it gets here. ER really is a pretty good medical drama. I enjoyed all the episodes.

The Night Stalker: The Complete Series (Eps. 1-3)
Carl Kolchak returns in a new series of spine-tingling adventures. Produced by the X-Files' Frank Spotnitz and based on the original '70s suspense drama, Night Stalker updates the chilling classic in a startling new way. "There's something stylishly scary at work here," says The New York Times.
Caught up in an obsessive hunt for his own wife's murderer, Kolchak (Stuart Townsend) discovers that his imagination is no match for the evil that truly lurks in the dark. Paired with skeptic Perri Reed (Gabrielle Union), television's favorite crime reporter will stop at nothing to uncover the supernatural side of the night.
Featuring four episodes never seen on TV that complete the series and a host of exclusive bonus material, this 2-disc DVD set is so good it's scary.
Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. The Five People You Meet In Hell
3. Three
My Thoughts:
Felt like a taste of this series. I really liked this show... it is a shame it was canceled so soon. I think I even prefer it over the original series (Kolchak: The Night Stalker)... but that could be because I seen this series first. As it sometimes happens with me... the first one I see is the one I like better.

19. Quest
20. Arctic
My Thoughts:
I put off watching the last disc of this set. Mainly because I never cared for the whole Veritas arc in this season. So the final 3rd of the season really wasn't up to par with the rest of the series. That being said... I am still enjoying the series enough to keep watching it. The new season has been fair... though I am not completely happy with it. And the announcement that there will be a season nine... while I believe I will give it a chance... I think this series should have ended a couple seasons back. He should be Superman already!

My Thoughts:
Going back to this series a little. This disc all 4 episodes are very good... I especially like One Shot, One Kill and Bete Noire. Even though Bete Noire started a long arc (off and on into season 3) that did start to bore me.

Dracula: The Series: Vol. 1 (Eps. 1-4)
For centuries he has ruled the night, inspiring dozens of plays, scores of movies and millions of nightmares. His enduring legend is known and feared everywhere. Now, Dracula seeks global domination as Alexander Lucard, international billionaire power broker, who is relentlessly building a hi-tech network of white-collar vampires. Two young American brothers know his secret (and his weaknesses!) as they join their uncle – a lifelong vampire chaser – to follow the trail across Europe and the U.S. in a desperate race to expose Lucard and his undead army of corporate vampires. The hunters become the prey as Lucard seeks to eliminate their threat to his eternal conquest.
Episodes:
1. Children of the Night
2. Double Cross
3. Get a Job
4. The Boffin
My Thoughts:
This is a show that used to air Saturday mornings... a kid friendly Dracula series. It is an above average series... I have seen better but it is a series that both Brittany and myself enjoy. The worst thing about it had to be the theme music to the series. Even Brittany couldn't stand it. And she loves most all music. See what I mean from the youtube clip below. For those of you that enjoy the Showtime series The L Word... there is a familiar face here... a young Mia Kirshner (Jenny Schecter on The L Word).

My Thoughts:
I got in the mood to watch some episodes of Medium (or as my mother loves to call the show... "The Blonde Psychic". She has a terrible memory when it comes to TV Show names for some reason. This is a very strong start to the series. I really enjoyed all 3 episodes on this disc. I think Patricia Arquette does a great job as Alison DuBois... our "Blonde Psychic". :P

Episodes:

20. Astral Monkey
My Thoughts:
I am now almost finished re-watching season 2 of Charmed. Some really good episodes on this disc. My favorite (which happens to be one of my favorites in the entire series) on this disc is Chick Flick which is named a little confusing... as it deals with a demon bringing killers from horror movies off the screen. I never really considered horror movies as "chick flicks".

Spin City: Season 1 (Disc 3)
Spin City is a smart, sophisticated ABC sitcom about the behind-the-scenes workings of City Hall in the biggest city in America. Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's (Barry Bostwick, Rocky Horror Picture Show) key strategist and much-needed handler.
Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind, Mad About You); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck, Ferris Bueller's Day Off); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman, Arliss); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.
Spin City was an immediate hit when it debuted in 1996. The series reunited Fox with Family Ties executive producer and creator Gary David Goldberg and proved that the magic of their creative partnership was enduring.
Episodes:
13. Bye Bye Love
14. Starting Over
15. Gabby's Song
16. Kiss Me, Stupid
17. An Affair to Remember
18. Snowbound
My Thoughts:
Third disc in this set has been just as fun as the previous 2. I can't believe I forgot just how much I actually enjoyed this show. One of the few sitcoms I have watched in a long time that actually had me laugh out loud at least once on every episode I have watched. I am looking forward to the final disc in this set... as well as any future releases.

ER: Season 4 (Disc 1)
Heal 'em and wheel 'em: the exciting, Emmy Award-winning fourth season of ER unfolds in a six-disc collection featuring 22 episodes plus Dynamic DVD Extras.
A new face enters the mix at Chicago's County General: Dr. Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) comes across the pond from England to work as a surgical fellow. There are plenty of new challenges ranging from the personal (Greene tries to patch things up with his father in San Diego) to the professional (Ross puts his career on the line to save the life of a seven-month-old baby boy), from the romantic (Hathaway can't commit to Ross) to the rowdy (two injured flying Elvis impersonators are gurneyed into the trauma rooms). Drop in today. No appointment necessary!
Episodes:
1. Ambush
2. Something New
3. Friendly Fire
4. When the Bough Breaks
My Thoughts:
Now that I watched the first disc in the 4th season set I know I have never seen any of the season 4 episodes. As I have never before seen the new doctor that started this season (Forget name... the one from England). I probably should have watched the last disc of season 3 again before starting this set as it has been quite a while since I saw those episodes and some things I remember... but some I do not. So I am a little lost on some things. But it looks to be the starts of another great set of episodes.

Time Tunnel: Vol. 1 (Disc 1 Side A)
"The control of time is potentially the most valuable treasure that man will ever find." Or so believed the scientists of Project Tic Toc. Located beneath the Arizona desert, the ten-year project's focus is the feasibility of time travel. But when the government reconsiders the project, the scientists have only 24 hours to prove their untested "Time Tunnel" will actually work. Determined to save the project, Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Philips go through the tunnel-and quickly find themselves catapulted from one historical event to another, barely escaping with their lives as their colleagues back in Arizona race to figure out a way to bring them back home.
Episodes:
1. Rendezvous With Yesterday
2. One Way To The Moon
3. End Of The World
My Thoughts:
I bought this set on the recommendation of a few people at the Home Theater Forum. And I must say... I am really glad I did. This is a series from 1966.I have been enjoying series from this time period (and earlier) lately since recently watching The Fugitive and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I must say... I am really enjoying this series. I think I am enjoying this one even more then The Fugitive and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. And that is really saying something! I must get the second volume of this so I can complete the series!

Episodes:
5. Good Touch, Bad Touch
6. Ground Zero
7. Fathers and Sons
8. Freak Show
My Thoughts:
Decided to watch 4 more episodes. Pretty much all very good episodes. Well... all except one episode that is. I did not care much for Fathers and Sons... It just didn't feel like ER to me. I mean there was no scenes what so ever inside the hospital. Just Ross and Mark on the road for a few days. Watching an episode of ER without the ER just didn't feel right to me.

2. The Ensigns of Command
3. The Survivors
4. Who Watches the Watchers
My Thoughts:
It is so good to start seeing episodes I never seen before. I am enjoying every second of it already. The first thing I notice on this set is that the opening credits were changed. I like this season's better then the first two... looks very cool. I also am glad to see Dr. Crusher back. No real problem with the season 2 replacement... but I definitely preferred Dr. Crusher. As I was saying... all good episodes... but I especially enjoyed Who Watches the Watchers... that is definitely an excellent episode!

My Thoughts:
I really need to get caught up with this series. I have been enjoying every minute of this season. (for the most part.) These 4 episodes are very good. I especially enjoyed Do You See What I See... which is the Christmas episode for this season.

Episodes:
21. Apocalypse Not
22. Be Careful What You Witch For
My Thoughts:
This finishes off the second season of Charmed. I tell you... I watched these episodes so many times I think I almost have the series memorized. The last 2 episodes of this season... while not bad... are not among my favorites either. I think this season's finale is probably the weakest season finale of the series.

8. The Price
My Thoughts:
Another disc watched. On this disc I really enjoyed the episode The Bonding... excellent episode. But unfortunately for me the rest of the episodes on this disc was lacking. Not that they were bad... as I did still enjoy them all... they just weren't up there as high as most the previous episodes I have seen.

I found I just couldn't stop myself on this series. So far this show has been constantly very good... even with a bad one here and there. I thought they did a great job on this season. I especially enjoyed the season finale. There is also a nice selection of extras on this set. I especially enjoyed the celebration after they finished the live episode. The I also checked out the blooper reel and a couple of the deleted scenes. The Blooper Reel was pretty good... but it was mostly them goofing up their lines... but I guess that is to be expected with a medical drama.

Years ago actors were much better at hiding problems and getting on with it. Probably because there was less of a divide between theatre and TV. You simply can't get it wrong on stage and laugh it off/ Now they seem to enjoy cocking things up! Doing it live sorts the men from the boys though, so to speak. Coronation Street is our longest running drama, though I don't like soaps. But I remember them doing a live episode and it must have been tough.

Charmed: Season 3 (Discs 1-2)
Three times is a charm! Charmed: The Complete Third Season has three times the power, as well as all of the supernatural thrills and excitement, as the Charmed Ones -- Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) -- deal with being modern-day witches.
How could life get any more complicated for the Halliwell sisters? One learns that her greatest love is also her greatest enemy; another defies The Powers That Be to marry; and tragedy unexpectedly befalls the third, leaving the sisters powerless to stop it.
The perfect potion of suspense-filled adventure, crafty humor and dynamic heroines casts a spell that brings you 22 episodes of pure viewing magic.
Episodes:
1. The Honeymoon's Over
2. Magic Hour
3. Once Upon A Time
4. All Halliwell's Eve
5. Sight Unseen
6. Primrose Empath
7. Power Outage
8. Sleuthing With The Enemy
My thoughts:
I am really enjoying revisiting Charmed... So much so that it didn't take me long to start season 3. This is the season they added the character Cole. A lot of people love that character... and I am sorry... but I can't stand him! There is just something about him I never liked. But even he can't keep my away from enjoying this show! My favorite episode from these 2 discs would have to be All Halliwell's Eve... the first Halloween episode they ever did. It is one of my favorites even considering every episode in the entire series.

Ultimate Avengers: The Movie
A world in crisis. Age-old enemies on the verge of attack. A mighty team is recruited, and Earth's ultimate hero is sought to lead them — Captain America. Unfortunately, he's been frozen in ice for over sixty years.
Inspired by Marvel's best-selling books, "The Ultimates," this is the extraordinary story of six very independent heroes who, like it or not, must fight as one to save the world. Little did they know that their biggest threat would emerge from within their very own ranks — The Incredible Hulk!
My Thoughts:
I just couldn't help myself... I was trying to save this movie for a marathon later... but I just couldn't wait to watch it. Especially after my daughter borrowing it from me and telling me how much she enjoyed it. So I thought I would slip this one in tonight. I got this through Amazon Marketplace very cheap. After watching it I feel like I got a heck of a deal... because I enjoyed every minute of it! I was never familiar with The Avengers... but always liked both Captain America and Iron Man. This is the first time I ever seen a few of them (Wasp, Giant Man & Black Widow). I really enjoyed seeing the team get together. I hope to get the second movie (with the Black Panther) before too long. As well as some of Marvels other animated movies.
My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
Felt like watching the next disc in this set. There are all good episodes... but I specially enjoyed Chimera.... even though not really a Halloween episodes as Halloween is never mentioned in the episode... they do make it like one with a more spooky situation as they are exploring an abandoned ship... and there is even talks of ghosts and monsters. The episode originally aired the night before Halloween of 2007. The episode Requiem was also a stand out episode as you learn more about Gibbs past and his daughter when his daughter's best friend at the time finds him asking for help.

Tales from the Darkside: Season 1 (Eps. 1-4)
Tales from the Darkside, the uniquely terrifying, frighteningly popular horror anthology series, is back. Packed with haunting stories that at first light appear to be about normal situations, these tales are gradually twisted until they become something sinister, shocking and totally unsettling.
Revealing the dark underworld of our everyday existence, Tales from the Darkside includes stories penned by masters of horror, with unforgettable performances by some of Hollywood's finest stars.
Dark, scary and with a bizarre sense of justice, all 24 episodes of Tales from the Darkside's spine-tingling first season will capture your imagination...and never let it go.
EPISODES
1. Trick or Treat
2. The New Man
3. I'll Give you a Million
4. Painkiller
My Thoughts:
Even though I am very familiar with the series itself (I have heard much about it)... this is a series I never seen a single episode of. When I saw the set was on sale for just under $20 I decided I would get it and see if all the praise I have heard about it was true. I tried not to let all the hype I heard about it make me expect too much... but I was probably expecting a little too much going in. Thankfully that didn't matter in this case.... as I enjoyed every minute of the first 4 episodes. I especially enjoyed the Pilot episode (Trick or Treat) which also just happened to be a Halloween episode. I also was seeing a lot of familiar faces in this series. Only watching 4 episodes so far and I am able to spot...
- Bernard Hughes (Grandpa on The Lost Boys)
- Max Wright (ALF - Small part)
- Eddie Jones (Lois and Clark) Looking rather young in this... actually had to look him up to see why he looked so familiar.
- Vic Tayback (Alice)
Anyway... I am already really glad I bought this first season and I hope to see the rest of the series released as well!

15. Just Harried
16. Death Takes a Halliwell
My Thoughts:
Two more discs of Charmed watched. All are good episodes... but my favorites on these 2 discs would have to be Coyote Piper. Of course I had to pick that one since it is an episode centered on my favorite Character Piper! And then on the next disc I liked Just Harried the best. That is the one where Piper and Leo get married. Gee... another Piper episode... who would have guessed?

Starring Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, David McCallum, Sean Murray, Cote de Pablo, and Lauren Holly, this 5-disc set includes all 18 season 5 episodes, plus all-new behind-the-scenes special features.
Episodes
17. About Face
18. Judgement Day
My Thoughts:
And this completes the boxset. Due to the writer's strike it was a short season. But it definitely ended in an exciting way... I felt that both episodes on this disc was excellent! I especially enjoyed Judgment Day which is a double length episode. I also watched a short featurette on Pauley Perrette who plays my favorite character Abbey on the show. I was pretty surprised to learn that not only are 2 (of the many) tattoos she has is fake (Spider Web on Neck & Huge Cross on Back) but she is really a blonde... she dies her hair black. I must admit... I don't think she would look right as a blonde.

Charmed: Season 3 (Discs 5-6)
Three times is a charm! Charmed: The Complete Third Season has three times the power, as well as all of the supernatural thrills and excitement, as the Charmed Ones -- Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) -- deal with being modern-day witches.
How could life get any more complicated for the Halliwell sisters? One learns that her greatest love is also her greatest enemy; another defies The Powers That Be to marry; and tragedy unexpectedly befalls the third, leaving the sisters powerless to stop it.
The perfect potion of suspense-filled adventure, crafty humor and dynamic heroines casts a spell that brings you 22 episodes of pure viewing magic.
Episodes:
17. Pre-Witch
18. Sin Francisco
19. The Demon Who Came in From the Cold
20. Exit Strategy
21. Look Who's Barking
22. All Hell Breaks Loose
My Thoughts:
This brings the third season to an end... along with the involvement of Shannen Doherty as Prue. A very strong conclusion to this season. there is a few that I really enjoyed on these 2 discs. My favorite episodes out of the above would be Pre-Witch, Sin Francisco and I especially enjoyed All Hell Breaks Loose. Now I am really looking forward to revisiting season 4 when Rose McGowan joins the cast as Paige.

21 Jump Street: Season 1 (Discs 1-2)
It all begins here, as baby-faced rookie Officer Tom Hanson (Johnny Depp) is assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robison Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime. Frederic Forrest and Steven Williams co-star in this classic first season that also features such guest stars as Jason Priestley, Josh Brolin, David Paymer, Sherilyn Fenn and Blair Underwood in what became Fox's first runaway hit and remains on of the coolest cop shows in TV history!
21 JUMP STREET - SEASON ONE includes all 13 explosive episodes - including the rarely seen two-part premiere - and is now packed with extras that include all-new interviews with stars Holly Robinson Peete, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and series co-creator Stephen J. Cannell and an exclusive audio commentary with star Peter DeLuise.
Episodes:
1. Pilot (Part 1)
2. Pilot (Part 2)
3. America, What a Town
4. Don't Pet the Teacher
5. The Worst Night of Your Life
My Thoughts:
This is a series I have always enjoyed. First of all when it originally aired I was in high school so it was fun to watch a cop show taking place somewhere familiar to me like this. It was always real fun to watch... has a nice bit of action (though not as much as most cop shows now do)... and is something I remember fondly that the whole family would gather together to watch. Something that never happens any more. Out of these two discs I especially enjoyed the two-part Pilot episode. I thought not only did it introduce all the characters well... but it also was a good story when it came to the crime being committed.

Tales from the Darkside: Season 1 (Eps. 5-8)
Tales from the Darkside, the uniquely terrifying, frighteningly popular horror anthology series, is back. Packed with haunting stories that at first light appear to be about normal situations, these tales are gradually twisted until they become something sinister, shocking and totally unsettling.
Revealing the dark underworld of our everyday existence, Tales from the Darkside includes stories penned by masters of horror, with unforgettable performances by some of Hollywood's finest stars.
Dark, scary and with a bizarre sense of justice, all 24 episodes of Tales from the Darkside's spine-tingling first season will capture your imagination...and never let it go.
Episodes
5. The Odds
6. Mookie and Pookie
7. Slippage
8. Inside the Closet
My Thoughts:
I am really starting to like this show. I am glad I took a chance on it. Once again I saw a couple familiar faces in these episodes. First in The Odds I saw Danny Aiello. Then there was Justine Batemen in Mookie and Pookie. I would have to say my favorite episode of these four would have to be Inside the Closet which was directed by Tom Savini who is well known for his special effects make-up. I didn't notice in the credits but I am pretty sure he did the effects work on the episode as well.

The Cosby Show: Season 1 (Eps. 17-20)
The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The series depicted a close-knit and prosperous African American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, OB-GYN (Bill Cosby), and his attorney wife Clair (Phylicia Rashad), a happily married, dual-profession couple, had aspirations of raising their five children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Huxtables were truly a groundbreaking family for television.
The Cosby Show was an instant smash hit, holding TV's #1 slot for a record five consecutive years (1985 to 1990), and it remained in the Top 20 shows of all eight seasons it was on NBC. The Cosby Show's popularity was so intense that it has carried over into the 21st century, and in 2005 The Cosby Show is as relevant as it has ever been. The Huxtable's are adored around the world.
Episodes:
17. Theo and the Joint
18. Vanessa's New Class
19. Clair's Case
20. Back to the Track, Jack
My Thoughts:
All the sudden I felt like watching a few episodes of The Cosby Show. It was a lot of fun getting back to this series a little. All the ones I watched this time were good... but I especially enjoyed Clair's Case and Back to the Track, Jack. No I only have to watch 4 more episodes to complete this season. Well except for the bonus disc which I also want to check out because it sounds like it has a lot of good extras.

Charmed: Season 4 (Discs 1-2)
The Charmed ones, modern-day urban witches Phoebe (Alyssa Milano), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Paige (Rose McGowan), move into Season Four with deeper, darker and more deftly crafted stories. As Piper and Phoebe struggle with the loss of their older sister, they discover the existence of half-sister Paige Matthews. Possessing the power to orb as a half-Whitelighter, Paige joins the Halliwell sisters to recreate the magical triad that protects the innocent and vanquishes evil. But all may be lost as Cole's (Julian McMahon) demonic side takes over, and Leo (Brian Krause) must face his past if he is to help the sisters in a battle that could destroy them all.
With intriguing characters, amazing special effects and the perfect brew of suspense, drama, and humor, each exciting episode in this fascinating supernatural series casts a gripping spell.
Episodes:
1. Charmed Again
2. Hell Hath No Fury
3. Enter the Demon
4. Size Matters
5. A Knight to Remember
6. Brain Drain
7. Black as Cole
My Thoughts:
Started my season 4 set. This is the season that Rose McGowen joins the cast. I know the first time I saw this season that I was worried about them replacing Prue. I was very surprised how well they pulled it off! These first two discs has several episodes I really enjoy. First of course there is Charmed Again where they introduce Paige. I also really enjoyed Hell Hath No Fury... where Piper is turned into a Fury. For some reason I always got a kick out of the episodes where the girls are turned into something. Then there was Brain Drain where they do the alternate reality... what if they are really just crazy storyline. And then there is one of my favorites in Size Matters. I especially like this one not only because of a good story but because it has Robert Englund (Freddy Kreuger) guest starring.

The Time Tunnel - 2002 Unaired Pilot
Unaired 2002 attempt to relaunch Irwin Allen's original series "The Time Tunnel". In this version, a secret Dept. of Energy project to create "hot fusion" instead creates a "storm" in time. It takes the scientists four hours (240 minutes) to lock down one end of the storm, while the other is still randomly sweeping across the time stream. When they leave their bunker, the scientists discover that the "two-forty" (the 240 minutes the storm was out of control), caused random changes to the fabric of history, and only they know the true history of the world. Now the scientists must send teams back through the time tunnel to correct major errors the storm created. DOE employee Doug Phillips is recruited into the group because of his particular knowledge of a World War 2 battle, where the Time Tunnel team must go in order to stop an outbreak of the Black Plague.
My Thoughts:
I was going to try to wait to watch this bonus episode until I was done the set... but I just couldn't wait to see it. Especially after I found out that Doug Phillips was played by David Conrad (plays Jim Clancy, Melinda's husband on Ghost Whisperer). I have to tell you... It sucks that this pilot was never sold... as I loved every second of it. They left enough the same to pay a good homage to the classic Irwin Allen series. But changed enough of it to make an interesting and new show. I kinda liked how in this case they weren't actually lost in time... more straight out travelers. It gave it a bit of a Stargate SG-1 feel. And I found it pretty funny that they changed the character of Tony Newman to a female character properly named Toni Newman. I left this episode really wanting more! It is a shame it just wasn't meant to be!

I have to admit... I forgot just how funny this classic sitcom really is. I just got this set yesterday afternoon and I already watched all the episodes on the first disc! The episodes on this were all very good... but my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Lucy Thinks Ricky is Trying to Murder Her. My least favorite on the disc? I would have to say Be a Pal... and that wasn't bad at all. Well... One Disc down... 33 to go!

It was shown for some years in the UK when I was younger in the early evenings.

The Jeff Foxworthy Show: Season 2 (Ep. 1-4)
If you're a redneck, then... you'll love Jeff Foxworthy in his first TV Show! The second season is even funnier and features new cast members Jeff Foxworthy stars as a Southern boy who moves his family back to his hometown in Georgia. His new job has him working at the loading docks with some macho no-nonsense boys from the South, providing perfect fodder for Jeff Foxworthy's insightful musings.
Episodes:
1. Where the Donuts are Good...Not Great
2. The List is Strife
3. The Poor Sportsmen of the Apocalypse
4. My Dinner with Betty
My Thoughts:
No, this is not the greatest sitcom ever made. Far from it... but it has it's moments. There has been some laugh out loud moments. But I am not surprised that the show as canceled after only 2 seasons. The second season the show moved to another station. I suppose the first station canceled them and they were able to convince the second station to pick them up. But the problem there comes with so many changes to the show. The move to his home town made perfect sense from how season one ended... but changing the actress that played his wife kinda sucks even though I do like Ann Cusack in the role. And the one that really messes with the continuity is the sudden addition of a second son. It is like another kid came from no where. Over-all I like the set-up of the second season better then the first. Meaning I prefer him working at the loading docks more then I did him having his own heating and plumbing business. And I liked the addition of Bill Engvall to the cast. I just didn't like what they did to his family life. All four episodes I watched was at least enjoyable... but I especially liked the episode The Poor Sportsmen of the Apocalypse.

Episodes:
4. Never Wave Goodbye (Pt.1)
5. Never Wave Goodbye (Pt. 2)
6. Decision in the Ring
7. Smoke Screen
My Thoughts:
I thought it was about time to get back to this set. It is a series that I discovered I enjoy a lot... but for some reason I haven't watched a single episode in over a month. I guess it is one of those "Too many DVDs... Too Little Time" deals. So far I am 7 episodes in... and this series has constantly been very good... every episode has impressed me very much. This is a true classic TV Series in every sense of the word.

Episodes:
21. The Younger Woman
22. The Slumber Party
23. Mr. Quiet
24. Cliff's Birthday
My Thoughts:
This completes the first season for me. I been having fun revisiting these early episodes. While all 4 episodes I watched today were good... I especially enjoyed two of them... The Slumber Party where Cliff lets Rudy invite a bunch of friends over to spend the night... and Cliff's Birthday. In Cliff's Birthday I liked how Cliff was doing everything in his power to find out what he was getting for his Birthday early.

My Thoughts:
This completes the first season once again. It is the second time I watched this show since it came out on DVD. The show brought back a lot of good memories for me. I may continue with the next season soon... but will probably change to something else for a while first. 13 episodes is pretty short for a first season. Maybe it was a mid-season replacement? I really can't remember that far back.

Some really good episodes on these discs... but I must say I especially enjoyed both The Fur Coat and The Amateur Hour.

A Haunting in Georgia
Based on true events, A Haunting in Georgia is the chilling story of four-year-old Heidi and her imaginary friends Mr. Gordy and Con. As Heidi reveals mysterious details about the two, her parents become concerned... could her playmates be more than make-believe? When the rest of the family begins experiencing terrifying phenomena—waking with deep gashes on their bodies—it seems there's little they can do to stop the escalating nightmare.
My Thoughts:
This is one of two movie pilots to the A Haunting series. It is a documentary style series about what is supposed to be true haunting stories. This was a very good one that I enjoyed every minute of... but it is more of the interesting type then something that will scare you. The family featured in this one is really likable... and you feel for the little girl. The dvd itself is a cheap release of both pilot movies. Each movie is on it's own disc and is packaged together in a single keep case. Quality is very good but you don't get any extras what so ever.

His Name is Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th
30 years ago, a small horror film gave birth to 11 sequels, an endless body count and one of the most terrifying icons in horror history. Gore FX legend Tom Savini is your host for the ultimate documentary on everybody's favorite hockey-masked momma's boy and his three decades of cinematic carnage, featuring classic clips from the FRIDAY THE 13TH movies, rare behind-the-scenes photos and footage, and over 80 interviews with filmmakers, actors, stuntmen, FX artists, journalists and fans including Sean Cunningham, Kane Hodder, Seth Green, Harry Manfredini, Betsy Palmer, Greg Nicotero, Amanda Righetti, Adrienne King, James Roday, Amy Steel, Felissa Rose, Ari Lehman, Camilla & Carey more, Lar Park-Lincoln, Shavar Ross, Tony Timpone and many more. HIS NAME WAS JASON...and this is his incredible legacy!
My Thoughts:
This is a very good documentary on the Friday the 13th franchise. Watching this made me want to watch the movies again! Tom Savini did a wonderful job hosting. It was a lot of fun seeing what all the actors looks like now... especially for the earlier movies. I would have never recognized the one that played Reggie the Reckless... of course he was just a young kid at the time... or the one that played the older Tommy Jarvis. One thing I really liked about this documentary. Not only is it very interesting to watch for the info provided.. they made it very fun to watch... it is informative and entertaining all at the same time. This release being 2 disc set has a great selection of extras. I didn't get the chance to watch many of the extras... but did watch a couple that were fun. First there was a 30 second cartoon of Freddy vs. Jason done with cartoon bunnies. Then there was a very funny video review of the old Friday the 13th video game. After watching this documentary... I not only have the urge to watch the movies again... I really want to watch more extras on this set. This release was put together really well... I would recommend this release to any Jason fan!

There was several really good episodes in these last 2 discs... but I especially enjoyed Dead Man Talking and Weak Link.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching disc 3 of this 4 disc set. A lot of fun in these episodes. These stars can be really crazy in some of these episodes. Which is what I think really adds to the fun. If it was played as a straight game and there was no goofing around I don't think this show would be as entertaining. A couple things that I particularly liked on this disc was that in a handful of the episodes Jamie Lee Curtis was one of the stars. And in 2 episodes we had Kristie Alley as a contestant.

All the episodes on these two discs are good... but I especially enjoyed See No Evil where a Navy Captain's wife and blind daughter was kidnapped. A great episode... I would even go as far to say one of my favorite episodes of the entire 6 year run of the show.

My Thoughts:
This is the last disc in this best of set. I wasn't planning on watching this disc so soon after disc 3... but I did so for 2 reasons. First of all I found out from a friend on one of the yahoogroups I am on that disc 4 has had problems for a lot of people and I had to be sure it worked correctly. Luckily my disc worked perfectly. The other reason was because I realized that I originally got this set for Father's Day last year. And I had to get my Father's Day present watched before the next Father's Day! I got a bit of a kick out of one of the episodes on this disc... one of the guest stars was Debralee Scott (Welcome Back Kotter... Rosalie 'Hotsy' Totsy).... and she had the hots for one of the contestants. After winning him some money he went over to get a hug and kiss like they always do... and she was all over him... they had to block the camera's view... was a funny clip. A few minutes later she won him some more money... but this time they kept it at a normal peck... and Debralee acted like she could faint over it. Makes me wonder what might have happened after the show! :P

Don't remember the game show obviously being in the UK, but I do remember Welcome Back, Kotter, with a young travolta as Vinnie. Loved the theme tune to this series as well, do you remember it?

...definitely cute in my book... it is a shame how she passed away... from wikipedia..
In 2001, her fiancé, Port Authority police officer John Dennis Levi, died during the 9/11 attacks. In March 2005, Scott moved from Brooklyn, New York to Amelia Island, Florida, to care for her ailing elder sister Carol Anne, a producer who worked on many Robert Altman films and who went by the name Scott "Scotty" Bushnell. Her other sister, Jerilynn Scott, is a talent manager in Los Angeles.
Soon after her arrival in Florida, she collapsed and lingered in a coma for several days. She woke up and when asked if she knew where she was, replied, "obviously in the hospital." Since doctors could not ascertain what caused the coma, she was released two days later (on April 2, her birthday), but her spirits remained high. Three days later, on April 5, 2005, she went to take a nap and never woke up. Despite an autopsy, the cause of death remained uncertain. Scott was cremated.[2] Her sister, Carol Anne, died of heart failure on July 13, 2006.

When they first aired, when I first bought the DVDs and now. And I still enjoying every minute of it. On these two discs I especially enjoyed Meat Puzzle which has the Ducky, the ME, being hunted down and captured. The team needing to find him before he is killed. as well as the episode Witness which has the guest star of Danica McKeller who some of you may remember as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years.

My Thoughts:
I finally get to see the last season of this series. I missed this show when it originally aired... but fell in love with it on DVD. There is three things about this set that I wanted to mention. First Wow... I can't believe the weight loss on Barbara Jean. Also... I am so glad that Kyra was back for the final season. I must say... I liked how they did the jokes about her reasons of being gone in the first episode of this set. As I heard she was out all the previous year due to a eating disorder. And when she walked in for the first time in this season... she was asked where she been... and she says "I just went out to get something to eat". Then later that episode she gets up off the couch... is asked where she was going and said she wanted something to eat and Van said... "See you next year". And finally... and this I am thrilled about... they actually were able to give this show a proper farewell. Matter of fact I think the series finale was my favorite episode of the entire season. I just got this (double sided) disc in the mail yesterday afternoon... and I already finished it. Once I got started on the show I just couldn't turn it off till I watched the entire season! A wonderful show that I am kinda sorry see come to an end.

And the episode where the team looses one of their own.

Post by: Tom on June 30, 2009, 12:20:37 AM
It was one of the series I routinely watched when it was on German TV in the 90s.

My Thoughts:
The third season brings us the introduction of a couple new characters. The Mossad Agent Ziva David (Played by Cote de Pablo) and new Director of NCIS Jennifer Sheppard (Played by Lauren Holly). I really enjoyed all of these episodes especially the 2 part episode Kill Ari. From the beginning I like the character of Jennifer Sheppard... but after liking the character of Kate for so long the character of Ziva David had to grow on me. And she definitely did that... as she is now one of my favorite characters.

A Haunting in Connecticut
The day Karen and Ed Parker move into their dream home, ominous clues of its chilling funeral parlor past greet them: crucifixes on doors, toe tags and coffin keys in the basement. Their 14-year-old son, Paul, claims he see apparitions and hears voices. Soon, the house is plagued by dark forces that torment the entire family, and it will take a desperate call to Edward and Lorraine Warren—investigators of the Amityville haunting—to offer any hope of relief.
My Thoughts:
This is the second of two pilot movies for the TV Series A Haunting. Another one I enjoyed quite a bit. I couldn't imagine finding out the house that I live in used to be a funeral home. Well... it probably wouldn't bother me personally... but I wouldn't be able to tell my daughter about it. LOL

After reading Tom's review of "The Last Son of Krypton" movie... I had the urge to watch the first 3 episodes of the animated series that makes up that movie. I enjoyed them very much... as I do this entire series. It was fun seeing how it all started again.

I especially liked how the episode ended...especially with what Abbey did towards the end.

Even though I am not sure how I feel about the whole Fraser's father storyline at this point... the show itself is still very good.

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl
Electrawoman and Dynagirl are gorgeous superheroes who, disguised as mild-mannered reporters for newsmaker magazine, battle a bevy of costumed villians . The wear skintight outfits with capes, and operate out of the secret Electrabase, which is headed by Frank Heflin, who designed and built the heroines' sophisticated equipment. This DVD features the first four episodes (only 8 were filmed and broadcast) of this cult classic.
Episode:
1. The Sorcerer's Golden Trick
Electawoman and Dynagirl's archenemy The Sorcerer tries to break into Fort Knox.
My Thoughts:
OMG... I forgotten just how cheesy this show really was. Of course I was very young at the time. This was made in '76 so I was only 7 years old at the time. There is a lot of things stolen from the '60s Batman on this show. If I am remembering this right... One odd thing was how this show was aired. It was part of a larger show. So you saw the first half of the show... then the end credits... then you saw more kid's entertainment that the show provided.... then at the end of the show you saw the second half of this show with it's own opening and ending credits. So you actually see the opening and ending credits twice per episode.

My Thoughts:
This finishes up season 3... I am so enjoying revisiting this show again! It remains one of my favorite current shows. These two discs has some great episodes on them... but I especially enjoyed Bloodbath where there is an attempt on Abbey's life and on the season finale two-parter. Which was a strong finish to the season. So strong in fact that I really can not wait to move on to season 4! I may even go ahead and watch the fifth season once again even though I just seen it a couple months ago. Though I may not. We will have to see there.

Witch Hunt... a Halloween episode where where a young girl is kidnapped... and we see Abby, the Goth forensic scientist, dresses up for Halloween as Marilyn Monroe.

There has been some very funny moments in the last few discs. Moments such as Lucy getting locked in the freezer. Lucy doing the commercial for Vitameatavegamin... and then there was the episode where Ricky thinking Lucy is a Kleptomaniac. I am really enjoying seeing these episodes again after all these years! Looks like this set will be one of my favorite (if not my favorite) purchases for this year!

A few of the episodes on these 2 discs were not quite as good as most the NCIS episodes... but they were still enjoyable. I especially enjoyed Twisted Sister in which Tim has to help his sister when she is suspected of killing someone. And also enjoyed Dead Man Walking where a guy walks into NCIS and asks Gibbs to solve a murder... his... as he was poisoned with radiation by someone and don't have much longer to live.

The episodes towards the end of season 4 wasn't quite as good as early on in the season though there were still stand out episodes I especially enjoyed Cover Story where we find Agent McGee (who is also a writer) has found out an insane fan who thinks his stories are real are killing people he based the characters of his latest novel on.

Episodes:

My Thoughts:
I decided to take a break from my current marathons so that I could watch the first disc of the new Knight Rider set. Especially considering that I only seen about half the episodes when they aired. The first disc contains the pilot movie as well as the first 2 standard episodes of the series. And I already came across an episode I never seen before. Just watching this first disc makes me upset that they decided not to renew this series!

So much so that after watching only 3 episodes I ordered season 2!

6. Knight of the Hunter
7. Knight of the Living Dead
8. I Wanna Rock & Roll All Knight
My Thoughts:
There was many episodes of this series I have never seen before... thanks to my DVR having to be replaced with many episodes waiting on the HD for me to watch them. And this did not happen once... but twice. Once early into the season and once late into the season. I would say I would be lucky if I got to see half the episodes that aired. I was so pissed about this at the time... but now that I have the DVD set I am thrilled about it! All these episodes I get to watch that I never seen before! Because of this... I never seen any of the episodes on this disc. And I enjoyed every one of them! But I especially enjoyed 2 of the episodes. First there was A Hard Day's Knight where Mike is poisoned and only the guy that poisoned him has the antidote. So he has to solve the case and get the antidote before he dies. All while getting sicker by the moment. Then the other episode I especially enjoyed is Knight of the Living Dead... which I am sure you are not surprised I enjoyed since it is their Halloween episode.

C.S.I.: Season 1 (Disc 2)
It's all here. All the cases. All the evidence. All the solutions. All 23 episodes of the Golden Globe nominated first season of CSI. Now available in this special edition DVD set, containing special features and behind-the-scenes extras.
Episodes:
5. Friends & Lovers
6. Who Are You?
7. Blood Drops
8. Anonymous
My Thoughts:
Four more episodes down... and I am still enjoying this series very much! With every episode that passes I am more thrilled I gave this series a chance. Out of the episodes on this disc... as good as they all are... 2 episodes stood out as exceptional for me. That being Blood Drops... a very powerful episode where a terrible nightmare of a case gradually worsens through-out the episode. And Anonymous where one of their cold cases comes back to haunt them.

Significant Others: The Series (Episodes 1-2)
Jennifer Garner ('13 Going On 30', "Alias"), Eion Bailey ('Fight Club', 'Almost Famous') and Scott Bairstow ("Party of Five") star as three twentysomething best friends living in Los Angeles and having the best - and worst! - times of their lives.
Whether they're falling in love with the wrong people, auditioning chickens, or writing a parent's eulogy, Nell (Garner), Campbell (Bailey), and Henry (Bairstow) know that no matter how wondrous, ridiculous, and painful life may be, they'll always have each other's friendship to carry them through.
The complete series from the creators of "Party of Five" reminds us what it's like to be young, passionate, and willing to risk everything...over and over again. There's no one better to do it with than your SIGNIFICANT OTHERS.
EPISODES:
1. Pilot
2. The Next Big Thing
My Thoughts:
After blind buying this series I heard some pretty bad things about it. So I went into this one with some pretty low expectations. Maybe that helped me a little. As I didn't find this series to be terrible. No I wouldn't say it is good either. Just an average... somewhat slow series. I did however found I liked some of the characters. Of course Jennifer Garner's character for one. It was also pretty cool seeing a younger Michael Weatherly (NCIS, Dark Angel)... though I almost didn't recognize him! he changed quite a bit in the years since this series. Even though I am not surprised this series was canceled... I do feel bad that it was canceled so quickly... after producing only 6 episodes. I think any series should be given longer then that to get an audience.

I really have to thank my friend Tammy for convincing me to check out this series! As well as all of you that seconded her recommendation.

Earth 2: The Complete Series (Disc 1 Side A)
Embark on the quest to find a new home planet for humanity in the year 2192 as the complete sci-fi epic Earth 2 lands on DVD for the first time ever! From the producers of Miami Vice and ER comes the thrilling story of Devon Adair (Debrah Farentino), who is struggling to find a healthy environment for her deathly ill son, Ulysses. Disregarding government orders, she puts together an expedition to found a new civilization on an Earth-like planet 22 light years in the future. But after their ship crash-lands on the wrong side of the planet G889, the "colonists" quickly discover that their new home already has some very strange and hostile inhabitants. Catch DVD-exclusive bonus features and join stellar guest stars including Tim Curry, Virginia Madsen, Terry O'Quinn and more on all 21 groundbreaking episodes of the Emmy®-winning series that critics cheered "soars to new sci-fi heights" (Houston Chronicle).
Episodes:
1. First Contact Part 1 & 2
2. The Man Who Fell To Earth (Two)
My Thoughts:
I have heard some pretty good things about this short-lived series. So during the latest DD 25% off sale (when able to get it for under $20) I decided to take a chance on it. Side A of the first disc contains the double length pilot and second episode. So far while not a bad show... it hasn't impressed me either. I basically am finding it mediocre at this point. Now it is still early yet... so I hate to pass judgment. The show could very easily pick up yet. The premise of the series is good... so I still hold on to hope that it will turn out better. May just be one of those shows that had a bit of a slow start. Is there anyone here that is familiar with this show? Can you tell me it will get better?

Episodes:

2. Chaos Theory
3. Overload
4. Bully for You
My Thoughts:
I am early into the second season... but I am already enjoying just as much (if not more) then the first season. Some really good episodes on this disc already. I especially enjoyed Chaos Theory where you see that the answer you get is not always the one you expect or want... as well as Bully for You where a high school bully is gunned down in the boy's room. That one surprised me quite a bit as I thought I knew who did it... but turned out to be wrong. Definitely not the first (or last) time I been wrong... but I am usually pretty fair at guessing,

Episodes:
14. Exit Light, Enter Knight
15. Fight Knight
16. Fly By Knight
17. Knight and the City
18. I Love the Knight Life
My Thoughts:
Since there was only this one last disc left to this set I thought I would go ahead and finish it off. I got to the point that I was really enjoying this series. Just as much as the original series... if not a little more. This is something shocking for me to say since I grew up with the original. By the time in the series that is covered on this disc the team that runs the Knight Rider project is pretty much cut in half... and I must admit the fewer number of people involved works better for the series. Not to mention they kept all my favorite characters and got rid of the ones I didn't care about.
After finally getting to see every episode (about half of them twice) I am now even more saddened by this show not getting renewed for a second season. It is one of those cases where it felt like the series was just hitting it's stride when it got canceled.

My Thoughts:
Just finished off four more episodes of this great series. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... especially Slaves of Las Vegas. Which was a surprisingly good episode to me. I say surprisingly good as I don't normally like storylines involving sexual fetishes. But this story was very good. Another thing that surprised me about this episode was the nudity on a network TV series like they had in this one. a couple shots of a female butt and a couple shots of her breast (inc. nipple) which is normally not allowed on Network Television here in the US. Not that I am a prude or anything... it don't bother me at all... just surprised me.

The Time Tunnel: Vol. 1 (Disc 2 Side A)
FROM THE CREATIVE GENIUS OF IRWIN ALLEN ("Lost in Space," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno) COMES ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND ORIGINAL SCI-FI SHOWS OF THE 1960s!
"THE CONTROL OF TIME IS POTENTIALLY THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE THAT MAN WILL EVER FIND." Or so believed the scientists of Project Tic Toc. Located beneath the Arizona desert, the ten-year project's focus is the feasibility of time travel. But when the government reconsiders the project, the scientists have only 24 hours to prove their untested "Time Tunnel" will actually work. Determined to save the project, Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Philips go through the tunnel—and quickly find themselves catapulted from one historical event to another, barely escaping with their lives as their colleagues back in Arizona race to figure out a way to bring them back home.
Episodes:
4. The Day the Sky Fell In
5. The Last Patrol
My Thoughts:
I finally got around to watching a couple more episodes of this series. I don't know why I am watching this show so slowly... it really is one I have been enjoying. Both episodes were good... but I enjoyed "The Day the Sky Fell In" a little more then the other.

Episodes:
6. Crack of Doom
7. Revenge of the Gods
My Thoughts:
I woke up this morning in the mood for some more time traveling fun. I guess because for some odd reason they decided to make these discs double sided... but still only have 4 episodes per disc. So there is only 2 episodes per each side. These 2 episodes were very good... I enjoyed them both more then the episodes I watched yesterday. The episode Crack of Doom was very enjoyable... but I am not to familiar with the history aspect of this one... as history was my worst subject in school (I hated it!) but was about an island (Krakatoa?) blowing up from a volcano erupting. At least I was familiar with the subject from Revenge of the Gods which put the time travelers right in the middle of the whole Helen of Troy and Trojan Horse situation. I enjoyed both these episode pretty much the same... but if I had to pick one for a favorite I would have to go with Revenge of the Gods... just for that very reason of being familiar with the story.

My Thoughts:
Today I was in the mood for another disc of this great series. I especially enjoyed the episode And Then There Were None... it updates us on one of the few criminals that gets away. In Organ Grinder there was a familiar face... once the episode was over I looked to see where I knew her from. She is a regular on the series Desperate Housewives... playing Bree Van De Kamp.

The Greatest '70s Cop Shows
From Police Woman to Aaron Spelling classics like Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, S.W.A.T. and The Rookies, grab a seat and get ready to revisit all your favorite moments from the coolest crop of '70s cop shows. Digitally remastered on DVD for the first time ever, TV's sexiest adventures, high-octane car chases and thrilling shoot-outs have never looked better! This DVD collects five sought-after first episodes from the first seasons of these beloved action-packed hit series.
Charlie's Angels: Hell Ride
Investigating a conspiracy surrounding the murder of a famed female racer, Sabrina goes undercover as a racecar driver, while Jill and Bosley pose as holy-rollers to spread their gospel on the racetrack. When the Angels foil a covert diamond heist, the speedway never looked so sexy!
My Thoughts:
I bought this compilation disc to get an idea if I want to collect the season sets of the series included. I have seen Charlie's Angels before... but it has been so many years that I really didn't remember the series that well at all. I did enjoy this episode. The ladies were beautiful and fun to watch. But going by this episode at least... it is not the best series of it's type. I am not even sure I would actually call this a cop show as they are private investigators... not cops. Though that is just a minor thing as it still does involve solving crimes.
Whether or not I collect this series will depend on how cheap I can get it. Looking at Amazon I see the first 3 seasons are all under $16 each. At these prices I can see myself collecting this series.

16. Primum Non Nocere
My Thoughts:
Another disc of one of my new favorites. This disc has 4 more good episodes. I enjoyed them all. Though a little less so on the last one on the disc. But I especially enjoyed both The Finger and Burdon of Proof... as both threw me on who the bad guy really was.

18. Chasing the Bus
19. Stalker
20. Cats in the Cradle...
My Thoughts:
I can't believe I only have 1 more disc (3 episodes) left to watch in this series. I am still enjoying this show very much... I need to get season 3 soon so I can continue! Once again all the episodes on this disc is very good... enjoyed them all. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Stalker. Not only is it a good story about a stalker... but it turns out that all isn't as it seems.

M.A.N.T.I.S.: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
FROM THE CREATORS OF THE EVIL DEAD AND ARMY OF DARKNESS comes the crime-fighting saga that beats them all! Using a newly invented metal exoskeleton that provides superhuman abilities, wheelchair-bound Dr. Miles Hawkins (Alias' Carl Lumbly) embarks on a quest to rid his city of the ever-growing plague of crime terrorizing its citizens. This action-packed series broke new ground with television's first African-American superhero and became an instant cult favorite, now exploding onto DVD for the first time!
Episodes:
1. Pilot Movie
2. First Steps
3. Tango Blue
4. Days of Rage
5. Cease Fire
My Thoughts:
This set was a blind buy for me. But I was fairly confident I would like it as I enjoy most things involving some type of Superhero and crime fighting. And I was right... this was no exception! This series is high on the Sci-Fi side of things. The series is from the early to mid '90s so the effects are not quite as good by today's standards... but they really aren't that bad either.
I get the feeling that the Pilot Movie in this set was more of a TV Movie first draft as they changed the series quite a lot in the episode First Steps. And for the better I must add. I like the 2 characters he has helping him in the series much more then the ones he had in the movie. Also in the movie he is already The Mantis when the story begins... where the first episode in the series shows how he first gets started. Another thing I didn't care for in the movie version is he wore a normal every-day suit over top the exoskeleton. So seeing a guy in the mantis helmet while wearing a normal suit just seemed weird and wrong. Don't get me wrong... I did still enjoy the movie version. I was just happy to see them correct pretty much everything wrong with the movie in the series... making the show much more enjoyable.
For those interested (or just curios) here is the show's intro...

Episodes:
21. Anatomy of a Lye
22. Cross-Jurisdictions
23. The Hunger Artist
My Thoughts:
I just had to finish of this set. This disc has the final 3 episodes of the season. I enjoyed every episode on this disc quite a bit. But if I had to pick a favorite it would be Cross-Jurisdiction. Where some of the team goes to Florida for a case. It also has a few of the cast members for CSI: Miami. Including David Caruso who I never cared for in anything he has been in. Though he was at least tolerable in this episode.
Now that I am finished with season 2... and still very much wanting to see more... I am planning on ordering season 3 on Payday. I definitely must get more of this show. My good friend Tammy really got me hooked this time. Thank goodness up to season 9 is already out on DVD... so I have a lot to look forward to in the hopefully near future.

This DVD collects five sought-after first episodes from the first seasons of these beloved action-packed hit series.
Starsky and Hutch: Savage Sunday
Hoping to draw attention to their dismal conditions of their retirement home, a sweet senior-citizen couple hatches an unlikely plan: hiding a bomb in their car to blow up City Hall! When low-life criminals steal their car, the race is on – but will Starsky track down the ticking bomb in time to save the day?
My Thoughts:
Even though I have heard of the show before... this is the first time I have ever seen an episode. When I started this episode... the first thing that popped in my mind was that the blonde dude looked very familiar... but I couldn't place it. At least not till his name came on the screen... it was David Soul! Of course I know him very well... he is the star of one of my all-time favorite vampire movies (well... miniseries) the original Salem's Lot!
After watching this episode... I must say... I loved every second of it! There was a lot of great car chasing action... and there was a nice amount of comedy to keep it light-hearted. The episode was just plain entertaining. And I loved their car! It is a tomato-red 1975 Gran Torino with a wide white strip. And to top everything off... the first episode has a guest star of Suzanne Summers (Chrissy on Three's Company) as a go-go girl. What more could you ask for? I am planning on getting season 1 of this series on pay-day. Amazon has the first season for only $23.

Roseanne: Season 4 (Disc 2)

There’s an unforgettable Halloween, an outrageous Thanksgiving, one very surprising mall Santa, a Mother’s Day surprise and much more, all in this classic season of the comedy series that changed television forever.
Episodes:

8. Vegas, Vegas
9. Stressed to Kill
10. Thanksgiving '91
11. Kansas City, Here We Come
12. Santa Claus
My Thoughts:
Felt in the mood for a sitcom today. And Roseanne can be a fun one. All the episodes on this disc are good... I definitely enjoyed them. I especially liked the 2 Holiday episodes. But then Roseanne has always been good for Holiday episodes... especially the Halloween episodes which I am looking forward to seeing again in October!

My Thoughts:
Now that I finished all I could do on my Grey's Anatomy Marathon... I thought it was about time to just get some odd discs out of the way. I have been a huge fan of this show since the pilot episode. I think Patricia Arquette is wonderful in the lead role. And I am enjoying the fourth season almost as much as I did the first couple seasons. The episodes on the first two discs is steadily strong... but I especially enjoyed the episode Aftertaste. not only is it a real good storyline... but it even deals a bit with the subject of cannibalism.

Night Court: Season 1 (Disc 1)
They all come out at night. That's when you'll meet the weirdos, wannabes, lecherous fiends, nutballs and strange-os – and those are just the people in charge of Criminal Court, Part II, State of New York.
"I like him. He's nuts," a defendant says about judge Harold T. Stone. Magician/comic Harry Anderson portrays Stone, a man with a joy-buzzer sense of courtroom decorum and a gleeful enthusiasm for velvet-voiced scat singer Mel Torme. John Larroquette and Richard Moll, who would team with Anderson through the show's 1984-1992 run of law and disorder, are among the cast of this 13-episode Debut Season presented on 2 discs with a Loaded Docket of Extras. Night Court: it's where they'll try anything!
EPISODES
1. All You Need Is Love
2. Santa Goes Downtown
3. The Former Harry Stone
4. Welcome Back, Momma
5. The Eye of the Beholder
6. Death Threat
7. Once in Love With Harry
My Thoughts:
Even though I remembered enjoying this series back in my teen years... I always put off buying this set for some reason. I guess I thought it wouldn't hold up. But when I saw this set at Big Lots for only $6 I just couldn't pass it up. And now I am really glad I grabbed it. I really forgot just how much I enjoyed this series. Sure... Markie Post isn't in these early episodes (Not until season 3 I believe)... and they are the episodes I remembered the most. But you know... I found the series is very funny... even in the early seasons before her joining the cast. I am now half way done with the rather short first season... I hope to be able to get season 2 soon. And with any luck season 3 on will be released.

I have the second season. I haven't started watching it yet, but from what I can tell from the little booklet thing with the set, Markie Post will turn up in the second season. Also, from what I have found it, there were several years between the release of the first season and the second season. Which stinks.
Yeah... I know. I was reading some reviews of the set (I believe at Amazon) and it was mentioned there that she did appear in 1 episode of season 2... but she didn't join the cast as a regular until season 3. I also know about the LONG time between season 1 and 2... hopefully we will still see season 3 before too long. Though I am doubtful.

But as she and husband Joe (Jake Weber) – also newly unemployed – struggle to survive and care for toddler Marie and eldest daughters Ariel (Sofia Vassilieva) and Bridgette (Maria Lark), Allison knows one thing - her dreams will never fail her! Relive all the thrills and chills of every episode of Medium™: The Fourth Season!
Episodes
13. A Cure for What Ails You
14. Car Trouble
15. Being Joey Carmichael
16. Drowned World
My Thoughts:
This completes the 4th season set. Which I really wanted to do before the start of my month long horror marathon. Even though this is a short season... I really liked the storylines. Especially the storylines that had Allison working for Cynthia Keener (Anjelica Huston).

I ended up watching...
Disc 2 of Night Court: Season 1 which completed that set. I actually enjoyed watching this disc. It did a good job of taking my mind off things... and surprisingly actually made me laugh out loud more then once yesterday.
Then I watched the pilot episode of The War at Home. This is another sitcom. Going by the pilot episode only... this is an ok sitcom... but it didn't strike me as anything special.
I also watched about 2 discs (8 episodes) of season 3 of CSI. I am still loving every minute of this series.

CSI: Season 3 (Disc 3)
In this highly successful TV series, Detective Gil Grissom (William Petersen) leads the Las Vegas Police Department's night shift Crime Scene Investigations Unit, one of the top-ranked crime labs in the country. Grissom, along with his partner Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), takes on a series of cases which would be untouchable by other labs, in a city with a constant influx of visitors and a series of increasingly baffling crimes. This 6-volume set includes all 23 episodes from the third season.
Episodes:
9. Blood Lust
10. High and Low
11. Recipe for Murder
12. Got Murder?
My Thoughts:
Another disc of some really good episodes. I enjoyed every one of them. One this disc I especially enjoyed Blood Lust... besides the main case I like how they worked in the cab driver getting beaten to death from a mob because they mistakenly thought he was fleeing the scene of an accident. All based on the fact that he was a foreigner. And I also really enjoyed Recipe for Murder... but how couldn't you enjoy finding a person that was being put through a meat grinder? :P

The Big Bang Theory: The Middle Earth Paradigm (Season 1)
Leonard discovers "hobbit" is the wrong costume to wear to Penny's Halloween party when her ex-boyfriend shows up. Also, Sheldon is not a zebra.
This must be the 4th or 5th time I watched this episode now. And it is still just as funny this time around.
Bones: Mummy in the Maze (Season 3)
With Halloween rapidly approaching, the mummified remains of two young girls lead the team through a twisted maze of creepy clues.
One of my favorite episodes of Bones. And OK... I admit it... I definitely enjoy seeing Brennen in the Wonder Woman costume.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween (Season 2)
Someone from Giles' past wreaks havoc on Halloween, causing Buffy and the gang to be transformed into their costumes.
This is the very first Halloween episode the series had. I don't know if I would say it is my favorite one... but I definitely enjoyed it.
Post by: addicted2dvd on October 31, 2009, 08:07:08 PM
The Halliwell sisters travel back to the 1600s to protect a coven in danger of extinction and save their own future.
You all knew I had to watch this one! I have seen this episode countless times... and still enjoy it very much.
How I Met Your Mother: Slutty Pumpkin (Season 1)
Halloween hijinx are afoot as Ted makes his annual trek to the same lame party in search of a girl he met there years ago, while Robin joins Marshall and Lily for a double date.
This is a show that I bought blind when I found the first season set cheap. I really enjoyed the show... but for some reason never bothered to get more seasons yet. This episode was pretty good... had some cool costumes.. and the story of the Slutty Pumpkin was fun.

THE HEADLESS GHOST
Hill House is dark, scary and haunted, just the way Duane and Stephanie like it! But if they can't help the ghost of a 13-year-old boy who lost his head there find it, he'll have to borrow one of theirs!
AWESOME ANTS
When pals Dave and Ben start giving the ants in Dave's ant farm real food, the ants love it! Now dave has a growing problem – his dream pet project is becoming his worst nightmare!
TEACHER'S PET
At first, Becca is psyched when her science class goes on an overnight nature retreat. But soon, she wonders whether she'll survive wildlife camp or become... a sssnake sssnack?
My Thoughts
After Brittany and I watched the movie today we decided to watch one of the other DVDs I got her for her birthday. As you can see this disc has 3 episodes from the series on it. I really enjoyed the first episode. It was a pretty entertaining little ghost story. The second one about the ants was just plain weird. Then the third one was pretty good. Sadly at the end of the 3rd one there was a not that said something like Dedicated to the memory of Michelle Rici. She played the main character in that episode. And it seems she passed away shortly after of Meningitis. I enjoyed the first one the most on this disc followed by the last one... and then finally the middle one was my least favorite. And this time Brittany agreed with me on which she liked the best.

And as IRON MAN, Tony Stark takes his first steps toward becoming a new hero for the digital age, fighting high-tech battles in high-octane adventures!

My Thoughts:
Last night I watched this DVD with Brittany. It is another one she got for her Birthday... and I promised I would watch it with her this weekend. This is a bit different from any other Iron Man shows I have watched. In this one Tony Stark is just a teenage boy. While that was a little strange for me at first... the show grew on me. He has 2 of his teen friends helping him with the Iron Man project. A guy and a girl. The girl is very annoying... does not shut up for anything in the word. I told Brittany Iron Man needs to install some sleep gas in his armor... so he can get some peace! :P Anyway I found it to be an entertaining series... and Brittany loved it.

I will have to put the next season set on my Christmas Wish List! Maybe I will get lucky! :P

Warner Brothers Commemorative DVD Vol. 3
Perfect Strangers: Maid to Order (1989)
With Larry working late and Balki at college, their household chores are falling behind. So they decide to hire a maid. They finally select Mr. Bailey who waits on them hand and foot for practically nothing which ends up getting on Larry's nerves.
Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Show #103 (1998)
The American version of Whose Line debuts with Ryan's infamous foal being born scene.
My Thoughts:
I am normally not that big of a fan of Perfect Strangers... but I enjoyed this episode. I think that was manly because of the supporting cast in this episode. This episode is from when Harriette (Family Matters) was still on the show. And it also had the guest star of Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) as the maid Larry and Balki hired.
From what I read on tv.com the episode of Whose Line is it Anyway is the very first episode to air (US Version). And it was hilarious! Matter of fact it made me want to break out the Best of set that I have so I could watch more episodes! I would really like to get the couple of season sets that are out there eventually. I don't know what it is about this show... but it always cracks me up!

The Best of Whose Line is it Anyway? (Disc 1)
No one gets voted off the show. That would be too easy. Instead contestants face crueler fates: be a fish on a TV dating show, Adam and Eve when they first converse, a doo-wop group singing about a girl (and a tragic taxidermy accident). We're not making this up. The are. Host Drew Carey, a clever crew of comedy regulars and special guests (David Hasselhoff, Florence Henderson, Jerry Springer, Richard Simmons, bodybuilder Jane Tricker and more) come up with funny-on-the-fly in the hit series that crosses a game show with mad improvision. Discover 10 of the show's best episodes with all of the censor bars and bleeps removed, so you can enjoy every bit of the delicious and daring funny business in all its glory. Uncensored means that the potential for laughter is unlimited!
My Thoughts:
After that single episode on the free disc I watched today... I just couldn't help but to watch more. And I swear... as down as I been lately... I needed this. This is the most I have laughed in a long time! I am telling you I laughed so hard that my cheeks are still aching. I especially enjoyed the episode where Richard Simmons was the guest. That one was just hilarious! Another episode on this disc had David Hasselhoff for a guest. While it was a pretty good episode... it wasn't nearly as good as most. There is a second disc to this set... but I think I will hold off on watching it again.

Smallville: Season 1 (Disc 1)
Between the boy Clark Kent thought he was and the man he is destined to become lie the compelling stories of Smallville, the popular action series that reimagines the Superman saga from its roots. All 21 Season One episodes are in this collector's set powered with spellbinding Extra Features. Watch. Wonder. Enjoy. A Legend grows up in Smallville.
Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. Metamorphosis
3. Hothead
4. X-Ray
My Thoughts:
Brittany has recently watched some of the new episodes of Smallville and then yesterday she came to me saying she never seen the early seasons... wanting to finally see them. So thrilled to death to hear it I popped in the first disc of the first season. And she loved it! She enjoyed these early episodes even more then she did the new ones! And it was fun for me to watch these early ones with her. I almost forgot how much the cast changed over the years! Especially Tom Wellings! while you can tell it is obviously him... he looks so different! Brittany likes the character of Pete Ross... which is a character she never seen before.
After watching this first disc I let her take the rest of the set in her room and watch them at her leisure. This morning when I woke up I asked her how she was enjoying the show and where was she in the set? She is really getting into the series... is at this very moment working her way through disc 4 of season 1.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Complete Series (Eps. 1-3)
You have the power to re-live all 39 episodes of the Emmy® award winning 2002-03 He-Man® and the Masters of the Universe® Series! In this complete series collection, you will first learn how Adam became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. Then join He-Man as he leads Man-At-Arms, Teela, Ram Man, and the other heroic Masters of the Universe as trhey battle Skeletor, Trap Jaw, Evil Lyn, Beast Man, and the classic villians for control of Eternia. In the thrilling concluding episodes, witness the return of King Hssss and his snake men as he attempts to awaken the Snake God, Serpos!
This fresh take on the retro favorite delighted and entertained a new generation of fans as well as those who grew up watching the beloved series in the '80s.
Episodes:
1. The Beginning (Part 1)
2. The Beginning (Part 2)
3. The Beginning (Part 3)
My Thoughts:
I bought this series at the suggestion of a friend. Never seeing an episode before. I have seen the original '80s version before... but not this one from 2002. It is pretty much the same storyline as the '80s version. But it has much better graphics. The first 3 episodes makes up the origin story of He-Man. Now I can't remember if there even was an origin story to the '80s version... but if there was it couldn't have been done as well as this one. Making it 3 episodes it allowed them to really tell the story right. I thought I would have a hard time getting used to the new style of drawing this series... but I really had no problem at all with it. One thing that did bother me a little was everyone taking these over-exaggerated leaps into the air when they were in battle. But before I knew it I had gotten used to it as well. It really did make for more entertaining battle scenes. Over-all I really enjoyed it. Glad I have it added to my collection.

I had about the same feelings about this pilot in my review (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,626.msg90097.html#msg90097). We never got a real origin story in the old Filmation cartoon. We got a flashback once or twice when Adam was a kid before he became He-Man. I remember an episode which told us how he saved Crincher's life as a kid and the two became friends. A similar flashback we got with Adam meeting Orko for the first, as far as I remember.

This fresh take on the retro favorite delighted and entertained a new generation of fans as well as those who grew up watching the beloved series in the '80s.
Episodes:
4. Courage of Adam
5. Sky War
6. The Deep End
My Thoughts:
Even though I don't think these episodes were quite as good as the 3-part pilot... I am still enjoying the show. Courage of Adam seemed like a natural place to go after the way people thinking he is a coward effected him in the pilot. I am looking forward to continuing this series... but I am finding I can't seem to watch more then 3 episodes at a time... as I seem to get tired of it by then. But that is ok... that just means the set will last me that much longer.
I know Brittany... you don't even want to give He-Man a try... just from the opening credits you can tell you won't like it. But I would still like to see you give it a go. Maybe watch the 3-part pilot episode. Showing how Prince Adam becomes He-Man. But I know... no chance.... right Britt?
Post by: Tom on December 09, 2009, 09:10:25 PM

Yes, Brittany. Give it a try :)
There are even comics for He-Man (new and old). I have read some of them in the 80s.
I see this new "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" as a Justice League kind of series set in a fantasy world.

Well, as good as you guys make it sound, it's not just the quality of the show that puts me at a distance. The time of it and the genre are way way way way way low on my favorite genre list. Not a fan of Thor. Not that big a fan of Xena. Not gonna be a fan of He-Man. Sorry. There is nothing that will make me :surrender:
This is also usually not my kind of genre. I am also not a fan of Thor. And I am not a fan of Xena. I am more the science fiction kind of guy.
But I really like He-Man. A huge part of it is probably nostalgia for the old He-Man series.

I Love Lucy: Season 2 (Episodes 1-5)
Fall in love again and again with the timeless comedy that entertains generation after generation. This special 34-disc DVD collection contains every hilarious episode of every classic season of I Love Lucy — from the Lost Pilot to the The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour shows. Join Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel for non-stop laughter as you savor every magical moment of the greatest sitcom of all time.
Episodes:
1. Job Switching
2. The Saxophone
3. The Anniversary Present
4. The Handcuffs
5. The Operetta
My Thoughts:
Felt in the mood to watch some episodes of this classic sitcom. This is one old show that can still give you lots of laughs. I especially liked the episode Job Switching where Lucy and Ethel get a job in the candy factory. Though I must admit I had to step away from this show for a while after watching the episode The Operetta. All that episode is about is them putting a show on for charity... and too much bad singing for me!

Knight Rider: Season 1 (Disc 1)
An iconic TV classic is back and better than ever in the reinvented, updated, and super-charged Knight Rider Season One. From executive producers Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity franchise), David Bartis (The O.C.) and Glen Larson (Battlestar Galactica) comes this action-packed series about the coolest car ever created, K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand), that's equipped with artificial intelligence capable of hacking into any computer, the weapons system of a jet fighter, and incredible custom body technology that allows it to transform into other vehicles. Relive every Season One episode as an elite team of crime-fighters work with K.I.T.T. to track down elusive, high-tech villains. Presented in uninterrupted Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, you won't want to miss this fast-paced ride to the wild side!
Episodes:
1. Knight Rider 2008 Movie
2. A Knight in Shining Armor
3. Journey to the End of the Knight
My Thoughts:
I decided to take a break from my current marathons so that I could watch the first disc of the new Knight Rider set. Especially considering that I only seen about half the episodes when they aired. The first disc contains the pilot movie as well as the first 2 standard episodes of the series. And I already came across an episode I never seen before. Just watching this first disc makes me upset that they decided not to renew this series!
I caught what I think must have been the pilot on TV yesterday. Blimey Pete, did you really like this? I thought it was dire! KITT has zero personality and sounds like a weird voiceover, the actors have even less personality than the car, and the plot was pathetic. No wonder it failed. In fact, I'm glad! :devil:There's only one Michael Knight...

I found it as pure fun! But I think it could be at least partly for the fact that I grew up on the original version. It was like an upgraded nostalgia kick for me or something. It is hard to explain. But yeah... I enjoyed it... I guess like a guilty pleasure.
I grew up with the Hoff's version too. Loved it! Which is why I was so disappointed.

The Rookies
Concrete Valley, Neon Sky
Mounting tension between rival street gangs force "The Rookies" to maintain order on the street. But when one gang kingpin is fatally shot, it's up to Willie to play tough-talking mediator before tempers threaten to ignite all-out turf warfare.
My Thoughts:
I bought this best of disc to try out some classic cop shows I never got to see before. See if there is anything worth collecting. In the case of The Rookies, I found this pilot episode to be somewhat entertaining... but mostly found it to be predictable. Of course it is hard to judge any show by just one episode. I would say if I am to give this episode a chance... I would have to find the season sets very cheap.

The Big Bang Theory: Season 2 (Disc 1)
The science of funny is back! At work, physicists Leonard and Sheldon and their geek pals conquer the cosmos. At home, real life – from dating to driving – conquers them. This season, Leonard gets a girl. So does Sheldon. (Sheldon?!) Howard drives the Mars Rover into a ditch. Raj woos a terminator. Gorgeous girl-next-door Penny falls under the spell of Age of Conan. And super-smart, überconfident Leslie Winkler reduces mere men to spineless jellyfish. Twenty-three laugh-filled episodes from series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (Gilmore Girls) and a talented cast with astronomical comedy I.Q.s show why Big Bang is such a big hit.
Episodes:
1. The Bad Fish Paradigm
2. The Codpiece Topology
3. The Barbarian Sublimation
4. The Griffin Equivalency
5. The Euclid Alternative
6. The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem
My Thoughts:
When this arrived I couldn't help but to watch the first disc of the set. I swear... this is one of the best sitcoms (if not THE best) that is currently running. Brittany and I enjoyed watching this disc together (well she came in on about episode 4).

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
What goes on behind the scenes of a nationwide late-night comedy sketch show? Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing, answers that question with a must-see show within a show filled with engaging characters, ear-grabbing dialogue and a Hollywood hive of insider buzz.
Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford portray the likable hotshots brought in to revive NBS-TV's sagging flagship comedy series and Amanda Peet plays their savvy boss in episodes exploring the lives and loves of and the make-or-break creative pressures on the show's staff. Panic. Chaos. Fear. Sleep deprivation. Just make sure it's funny by Friday. Because that's when a nation tunes in to Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.
Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. The Cold Open
3. The Focus Group
4. The West Coast Delay
My Thoughts:
After all this time it took me a few episodes to get into the characters again. And the series had a slight slow start. But now by the 4th episode I am really getting into this show again. And I am looking forward to the rest of the set. This show is of course more about the behind the scenes of a show that would compare to Saturday Night Live more then it is about the skits themselves. Though we do get to see a skit here and there as they are performing it.

The show on a whole is very powerful. And final 5 to 6 episodes in the set is just plain amazing! After watching this entire set over the last few days... I finally realized just today that one of the actors who looked very familiar is now on The Big Bang Theory as Howard Wolowitz!

I don't think I realized that Howard was on it.

I also watched the special features in the set. Featurettes were ok... but the gag reel was fun. But I always did like gag reels.

Seinfeld: Season 7 (Discs 1-2)
"No soup for you!" "He stole my marble rye!" "Bosco!" "Spongeworthy!" Here's your invitation to 24 original full-length episodes of Season 7. All remastered with new high definition picture and sound.
Episodes:
1. The Engagement
2. The Postponement
3. The Maestro
4. The Wink
5. The Hot Tub
6. The Soup Nazi
7. The Secret Code
8. The Pool Guy
9. The Sponge
10. The Gum
11. The Rye
12. The Caddy
My Thoughts:
I haven't watched any Seinfeld in a while. It is odd really. Once I start to collect something on DVD I don't bother watching it any longer when it is rerun on TV. From that point on I only watch it on DVD (or new episodes on TV if it is a current show). These discs reminded me how much I enjoy the series. And I really liked a lot of the episodes on the first 2 discs. But there were a few that just didn't feel that great. But I guess that is to be expected once you get into the 7th season of a show. Most shows don't even make it that long.

Speaking of The Big Bang Theory, I got a kick out of last night's new episode, especially Sheldon and the Green Lantern lantern. It was also nice seing Danica McKellar again who I've only seen a few times since The Wonder Years went off the air.
That was Danica McKeller? I knew she sort of looked familiar, but couldn't place her.

My Thoughts:
I just watched this entire season... all 25 episodes... in 2 days! I did this because of my pilot marathon. Once I watched that pilot episode I couldn't help but to continue watching till I watched every episode I own. Which I now did. At least until I buy season 4. Which I plan on ordering tomorrow. My plan is to order season 4 of this show... as well as ordering the first season of the spin-off series Private Practice. This is the second time I watched these episodes... and I enjoyed them just as much this time around as I did the first time.

6. In Which Charlotte Goes Down The Rabbit Hole
7. In Which Sam Gets Taken For A Ride
8. In Which Cooper Finds A Port In His Storm
9. In Which Dell Finds His Fight
My Thoughts:
Well... I just finished the first season set... which only contains 9 episodes (Thanks to that year's writers strike). But the funny thing is... Grey's Anatomy... which this is a spin-off from... also only had 9 episodes in it's first season. I never cared too much for Addison on Grey's Anatomy. Not until towards the end of her on that series. But I am enjoying her in this series. Though I must admit... while this is still a good show. It is not quite as good as Grey's Anatomy. It actually had to grow on me for a few episodes before I got into it. Where I was hooked on Grey's Anatomy from the pilot episode. But I am looking forward to seeing some more episodes.

Superboy: Season 1 (Disc 1)
He's no longer a child and not yet a man. He's a boy - a college boy, in fact, who earnestly studies journalism at Shuster University. Clark Kent is his name. And if shy, often bumbling Clark were to tell anyone who he really is, the story would supply the 'Daily Planet' with a year's worth of headlines.
The production team whose big-screen spectacular revitalized live-action Superman adventures brings a live-action Boy of Steel to the small screen with 26 year-one episodes of the series that ran four heroic seasons. What emergency compelled Clark to emerge as Superboy? When did Clark/Superboy first encounter the green menace of Kryptonite? How did Lex Luthor lose his hair? The series has its own entertaining visions of key moments in the lore. So, enroll at Shuster U. Class is now in session.
Episodes:
1. The Jewel Of Techacal
2. A Kind of Princess
3. Back to Oblivion
4. The Russian Exchange Student
5. Countdown To Nowhere
6. Bringing Down The House
7. The Beast And Beauty
8. The Fixer
My Thoughts:
I felt like pulling something different off the shelf today. So I grabbed this syndicated series from 1988. I remember catching this every so often when I was a teen. Unfortunately since it was in syndication there was no real way to know if or when it would be on so I only ever seen a handful of episodes. So I was thrilled when the first season was released on DVD. Once again... unfortunately... the sales for the season set wasn't that great so we never got the rest of the series... which I believe made it to season 4. I still hold on to slight hope that I will see more releases.
The episodes on this disc are pretty good... I enjoyed them. Though it does seem like the series is out of order on the set. Even though when looking at the episode guides online they seem to say it is correct. But that makes no sense to me... as the first episode everyone knew who Superboy was. But yet about half way through the first disc he makes an appearance and no one knew who (or what) he was... not even his friends that he saved in every episode before it.
I really enjoyed the episode Back to Oblivion where an elderly scrapyard owner was going senile believing he was back in the days of WWII. And was mistaking Lana Lang for his granddaughter. The scrapyard owner was played by Abe Vigoda. It is always a little more fun when there is a recognizable face in the episode.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed the first disc so much earlier that I felt like watching the second disc as well. Which is more good episodes. On this disc I especially enjoyed Meet Mr. Mxyzptlk. The actor that played Mr. Mxyzptlk is one of those faces I know when I see it... but never knew his name. According to the credits it is a guy by the name of Michael J. Pollard.

A Different World: Season 1 (Episodes 1-4)
A Different World appeared on NBC from 1987 to 1993. As the highly anticipated spin-off of America's #1 show, A Different World mostly aired directly after The Cosby Show. The series was set at Hillman, a historically Black college with a rich legacy and reputation for successfully cultivating young minds. Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) decided to attend Hillman College in tribute to her parents and grandfather who all attended Hillman for their undergraduate studies. In Season One, A Different World clearly depicts the difference between living at home with your parents and taking responsibilty for your own actions as a young adult. This hilarious show is filled with vibrant characters. In addition to Denise, Hillman featured Jaleesa Vinson (Dawnn Lewis), a recently divorced 26 year old, Maggie Lauten (Marisa Tomei), the most talkative person on campus, Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), the ultra-wealthy Southern Belle, Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), Hillman's smartest and funniest male student and Walter Oakes (Sinbad) the over protective dorm director.
Episodes:
1. Reconcilable Differences
2. Pilot Presentation
3. Porky De Bergerac
4. Those Who Can't...Tutor
My Thoughts:
I forgot how much fun this show really was. It has been so long since I seen these episodes. Other then Denise of course... I think my favorite character on this show is Maggie who is played by a young Marisa Tomei. She just cracks me up when she gets talking about something and she is going hard and fast till someone tells her to stop.... then it is just "OK."
What I watched so far is only half of the episodes that is on the first disc. And I enjoyed them all quite a bit...so I had to post about it. Though I do plan on continue watching more episodes as soon as tomorrow. I know I should watch this much slower since only the first season is out... but this seems to be one of the times I just can't help myself.

6. Rudy and the Snow Queen
7. Sometimes You Get the Bear, Sometimes the Bear Gets You
8. If Chosen, I May Not Run
My Thoughts:
This Completes the first disc of the set. Another 4 episodes that I really enjoyed. I liked seeing all the guest stars from The Cosby Show the first season has (of course this ended when Denise was no longer a part of the show). So far we have seen Cliff, Rudy and Cliff's father (forget his name now) on the show. From the above episodes I really liked episode #7... where Denise's grandfather comes to visit her.

I liked seeing all the guest stars from The Cosby Show the first season has (of course this ended when Denise was no longer a part of the show).As far as I remember, later seasons also had a few guest appearances. I think Claire visited Hillman a few times (to give speeches or something like this). Also Dwayne and Whitney visited the Huxtables at one point of what I remember.

So far we have seen Cliff, Rudy and Cliff's father (forget his name now) on the show.

15. Dr. Cupid
My Thoughts:
This disc has both a Christmas (The Gift of Magi) and a Valentine (Dr. Cupid) episode. So they will be good to add to my yearly marathons. All the episodes on this disc were good... but I especially liked Wild Child... where a brilliant but homeless teen slips her way onto campus to get some free classes... and Dr. Cupid... where it is Valentines Day and everyone either finds or is looking for someone special.

18. Speech Therapy
19. Clair's Last Stand
20. If Only for One Night
21. Come Back, Little Eggby
22. My Dinner with Theo
My Thoughts:
I decided to go ahead and finish off this set. Now I just wish I had more to watch! Though by memory (and the bonus episode in this set) I didn't care as much for the seasons past the first one as they changed the show so much. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... especially when the cast from The Cosby Show came to visit Denise. This time around we see her mother Clair and her brother Theo.
After that I popped in the bonus disc and watched the bonus "lost" episode... which apparently never aired in it's original run. But it definitely was from a future season as Denise was gone and Dwayne and Whitley were together. Also on the disc is a TV Show that aired on E!... a kind of where are they now/Look back show... which was pretty cool to watch. Then there is a blooper reel that ran about 5min. And a TV Spot for another Look Back show... this time for The Cosby Show... a show that can be found on the season 1 set of The Cosby Show.
As I( am sure you can tell by how fast I went through this set... I really enjoyed every moment of watching the first season again. Even more then I was expecting to. Maybe because I was remembering the later seasons that I didn't care for as much. It was definitely worth the 30 cents I had to put out for this set!

I also never seen Prophecy of Doom... which is one of the few I didn't care for in this series.

Though I could be forgetting about seeing her in earlier episode(s). I enjoyed watching these again. Now I have to think about ordering the next volume. Though it may have to wait for a decent sale... as for some reason even after all this time these sets are still pretty expensive.

Roseanne: Season 4
For the Conner household, it was the year of Lanford Custom Cycles and Rodbell’s Luncheonette, Roseanne’s breast reduction and bingo addiction, Becky’s birth control, Dan’s bowling team, Darlene in black, a Las Vegas wedding and even an alien abduction. There’s an unforgettable Halloween, an outrageous Thanksgiving, one very surprising mall Santa, a Mother’s Day surprise and much more, all in this classic season of the comedy series that changed television forever.
My Thoughts:
Today I finally finished off season 4 of this sitcom. I bought seasons 4 and 5 about a year ago. This is a series that I always liked... but seeing on TV slowed me down on buying and watching the DVDs. But the mood hit recently as I haven't watched it on TV in quite a while now. I had a lot of fun watching these episodes again. I also liked one of the extras on this set. It was a talk with the actors that played DJ and Becky. Obviously the one who played DJ looked much bigger.... being almost an adult by the time this DVD came out. the actress that played Becky on the other hand... she looked exactly the same. I couldn't get over it. Though I did notice one thing. Something that was a little hard to spot. But after several glimpses I was sure. She was wearing a short sleeve shirt... and you could tell with her movements that she now has a tattoo on her upper arm. I didn't get a good enough look to see what it is... but did get a good enough look to know one was there.

Roseanne is out of work, Dan’s bike shop goes under, Becky moves away, and that’s just the two-part season opener! In these 25 unforgettable episodes, the Connors electricity is turned off, Darlene turns sweet 16, The Lunch Box opens, Nancy comes out, David moves in, DJ becomes a peeping tom, and Dan and Roseanne celebrate their 20th Anniversary. There’s an RV trip to California, the death of Jackie and Roseanne’s father, classic Halloween and Christmas episodes, and much more in the year that won Emmy Awards® for both Roseanne and Laurie Metcalf. Natalie West co-stars in this hilarious season featuring the performances by Johnny Galecki, Sandra Bernhard, Danielle Harris,Wings Hauser, Loretta Lynn, Morgan Fairchild, Bill Maher, Shelly Winters, Estelle Parsons, Ed Begley Jr., Blake Clark, Tom Arnold, Red Buttons, Sally Kirkland, Tim Curry, Martin Mull, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Joan Collins
My Thoughts:
I watched all of season 5 between today and yesterday evening! I enjoyed this season for the most part. But enjoyed the 4th season more. With this season I seemed to enjoy the second half of the season more then the first half. But of course I still liked the entire season over all. This season has some nice extras... including a couple of commentaries. But one extra I liked is the top 10 questions about Roseanne asked by the fans. Where Roseanne reads and answers 10 fan questions always asked. Including "What was the deal with the Chicken and Egg T-Shirt?" This T-Shirt was pretty much worn by every member of the cast at one point or another during the show run.

Grey's Anatomy: Season 1
Grey's Anatomy is "a winner," raves the New York Daily News. Both a critical hit and fan favorite, season one burst onto the television landscape with gripping plot lines, a sensational soundtrack and hot stars, including Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, and Sandra Oh. Now you can experience all the drama, romance and excitement of Grey's Anatomy from the very beginning.
Meet Meredith Grey, a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Together with her fellow residents in training, Meredith navigates her way through the daily traumas and social landmines of life inside the hospital and out in the real world. Grey's Anatomy is a smart and witty look at young people struggling to be doctors and doctors struggling to stay human.
My Thoughts:
After watching an absolutely amazing 2-hour season finale the other night I had a strong urge to watch more Grey's Anatomy. So I decided I would watch some of my DVDs. And in the matter of 2 days watched the whole first season. Granted the first season is only 9 episodes. And I still feel like continuing. I just may watch all 4 seasons that I have in my collection now before it is all said and done. We will just have to see.

Grey's Anatomy: Season 2
Experience the complete second season of TV's most compelling show in an expansive 27-episode DVD set. Witness every minute of the thrilling drama that has become a television event for fans and critics alike. "Week after week, the entire show is mcdreamy," raves USA Today.
Life gets even more intense for the doctors and interns of Seattle Grace Hospital in year two as Meredith and Derek's relationship goes from odd to downright insane with the arrival of Derek's wife, and Alex lets his Izzie obsession out of the bag. You "can't stop watching," says TV Guide.
Experience Grey's Anatomy: Season 2 — Uncut with over five hours of never-before-seen bonus features, including four extended episodes with scenes too steamy for TV, behind-the-scenes interviews and so much more.
My Thoughts:
In only the 3 days since I watched season 1... I have now finished season 2 as well (and this is including watching 7 birthday episodes of TV Shows). This is the 3rd time I watched this season since I bought it a few years ago. The last time being just 4 months ago. But it seems whenever I watch this show I can't help but to continue and watch all the episodes that I own. Which means I have 2 more seasons to look forward too. :P

My Thoughts:
In only 4 days time... and in between birthday TV episodes and movies... I have watched the entire third season of the series again. What is scary is this is my 3rd time watching it in less then a year since I got this set in September of last year. This is a very good season with lots of great episodes. I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did the first time I watched it. Now I can't help myself but to look forward to watching season 4 again.

CSI: Season 4 (Disc 1)
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation™,winner of the 2004 People's Choice Award for "Favorite Television Dramatic Series," comes to DVD in a 6-Disc set with all 23 episodes from Season Four. Look closer...there are also new, never-before-seen bonus features that also warrant further investigation.
Episodes:
1. Assume Nothing
2. All for Our Country
3. Homebodies
4. Feeling the Heat
My Thoughts:
It is so good to have more episodes of this show to watch. I enjoyed every second of all four episodes on this first disc. But my favorite episode on this disc has to be the last one... Feeling the Heat. Where a baby was left in a car in over 100 degree heat. It is a very powerful... and upsetting episode.

The Invisible Man: Season One (Disc 1)
Darien Fawkes, a thief, gets his third strike and is sentenced to life in prison. However, an offer comes to get him out if he will participate in a secret experiment that the U.S. government is conducting. Darien agrees grudgingly and is transported to a secret military installation in the desert. There a Swiss-French scientist named Arnaud installs a synthetic gland in Darien's brain, which causes him to secrete "Quicksilver," a compound that bends light and therefore has the power to make him invisible.
Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. The Catevari
3. Ralph
4. Tiresias
My Thoughts:
This is a series I used to watch all the time back when it originally aired. And I must say... I forgot how much I enjoyed the show. It really is a lot of fun. I like most all the characters... and all the stories (at least on this disc) was really fun to watch. I especially liked the episode Ralph.. where a little girl witnesses a murder and Darien (The Invisible Man) pretends to be her invisible friend to both protect her and find out what she saw. As I type this I am re-watching the double length pilot with the commentary track on.

As I watch this episode I am seeing this isn't as much of a Christmas episode as I originally thought. Sure there is some Christmas themes... but it is a reason to have a clip show of clips about finding out about.... and having the baby.

I don't remember ever seeing this one before. It is about Hedda Harper (a entertainment columnist) coming to visit them at their home to do an interview of how Lucy and Ricky first met. It has Lucy and a friend of hers (not Ethel... she meets Fred and Ethel here too though) on a cruise to Havana. On this cruise she meets Ethel and Fred.. who actually has a full head of dark hair. And then meets Ricky when they stop in Havana. within the one day they fall in love and he leaves Havana with her.
Going by this first episode at least... I can see why it only lasted 15 episodes after changing the name and length. I just didn't find this one all that funny. Looking over the plots for the upcoming episodes some of them sound right familiar. I believe in reruns... they put at least some of them as 2 part I Love Lucy episodes.

Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 4 (Discs 2-5)
Standup comedian Ray Romano stars as Ray Barone, a successful sportswriter who deals with his brother and parents, who happen to live across the street. Patricia Heaton ("The Goodbye Girl"), Peter Boyle ("While You Were Sleeping"), Doris Roberts ("Remington Steele"), and Brad Garrett ("Gleason") round out the stellar cast.
My Thoughts:
After sitting in my unwatched pile for over a year... I finally got around to finishing this season. I forgot how much I enjoyed this show. I originally went into it just looking for something quick and funny to watch while eating my dinner... and I ended up watching 4 discs! I just couldn't stop watching once I started. After all the episodes I watched the blooper reel. Which was hilarious. I always liked blooper reels... but this is one of the best. It wasn't just several minutes of people flubbing their lines. It showed just how much fun they had on the set. Playing practical jokes on each other... ad-libbing lines to try to get the other person in the scene with them to crack up... that kind of fun stuff.

CSI NY: Season 1 (Disc 1)
Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) heads the New York City Crime Lab, and like his CSI counterparts in Las Vegas and Miami, he and the talented members of his forensics division grapple with the "how" and the "why" of crime scene investigation. For Taylor and his team – Stella (Melina Kanakaredes), Flack (Eddie Cahill), Aiden (Vanessa Ferlito), Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Sheldon (Hill Harper) – it's a big Big Apple, filled from stem to core with the routine, the extraordinary, and the bizarre as they probe the fascinating world of criminalistics in CSI: NY.
Episodes:
Pilot: Mia/NYC Non-Stop
1. Blink
2. Creatures Of The Night
3. American Dreamers
My Thoughts:
I finally got around to watching the first disc of CSI NY. I know it is early yet into the show... but at this point I don't care for it as much as I do for the original Las Vegas version. Though I am enjoying it. I don't think they characters are as good though. I remember when I first saw the original CSI... I instantly liked all the characters. With this show for some reason I think I need time for the characters to grow on me. But it does have some really good stories... so far I am enjoying that quite a bit.
Post by: RossRoy on August 09, 2010, 06:00:47 PM
On CSI: Miami I don't care for Caruso. He comes off as cold and uninsteresting. Mind you some of the supporting cast behind him on Miami are ok, but still. I also don't care for the orange look they give it.
CSI: NY is odd. I like it, but I don't know why. It doesn't "click" like Vegas does. There's something missing.
---
Now that i think of it - I think it's the heart. On Vegas, you feel like the characters care about their case. They are involved and actually want to get the job done and catch the killers. On Miami and NY, I feel like it's just a day job for them and they just go through the motion. It lacks heart.
Miami being a worse of offender than NY in that respect.

Cobra
Robert "Scandal" Jackson, Jr., is an ex-Navy SEAL who went A.W.O.L. after refusing to blow up an enemy command center housing civilians. He disappeared to the wilderness of Alaska, changing his name and appearance, and became a teacher in a small Inuit community. But a part of his past caught up to him and he was shot in the face, his comatose body left for dead. He awoke in the hospital three weeks later and found himself with a new face and a new chance at life, thanks to a woman named Danielle LaPoint.
Danielle offered him a job with "Cobra", an undercover anti-crime agency that provides justice for victims who haven't benefited from the system. Scandal is reluctant to leave his Alaskan life behind, but then her boss, Dallas Cassel, makes him an offer he can't refuse: the chance to catch the man who murdered his father five years earlier. From behind the wheel of his classic AC Cobra, Scandal dispenses justice in the fictional Bay City.
Episode 6: The Gnome
Carlton Hauser, an old friend of Scandal's who broke down and became a psychopath during the Gulf War, escapes from a prison for the criminally insane and begins hunting down his comrades. When he discovers that Scandal is still alive, he targets him and his friends.
My Thoughts:
This is one of the bonus episodes in the Prime Time Crime box set I recently got. I have never seen a single episode of this series before. But it is one I have heard of... and have always been curios about.The whole back storyline... guy gets shot in face... made to be dead and fights crime in a fancy car sounds a lot like Knight Rider Of course int his one the car isn't a supercar... just a nice fancy car for him to drive around in. So I guess that is enough of a difference. :P
I enjoyed what I watched... and can see myself getting the complete series set. Especially since it is also released from Mill Creek Entertainment.... costing around $15 for all 22 episodes.

I believe this must be true. I mean I've only seen S1 of NY and S1-3 of Miami. I do remember there being some really great episodes in Miami - and I remember starting to warm up to Caruso a bit. I think it was on a child kidnapping case where he almost goes bonkers. For NY, I've only watched S1 so far, and never got the urge to continue. I was so disappointed, I had such high hopes for Lieutenant Dan as a CSI. Maybe he just needs to find his stride and I didn't give him the chance so far ;)

I got in the mood to watch this set last night. And I just finished watching both discs in the set. I don't know what it is about this show... but it is always good for many laughs.

Whose Line is one of the rare shows that makes me laugh so much. I've always loved improvisation, and Whose Line is such a great improv platform.

After creating child profiles for season 2 the last couple days I just couldn't help but to watch this series again. I forgot how funny this series was. I watched the entire first season in about a day and a half... and there was many laugh out loud moments in it for me. Not to mention both daughters in this series is absolutely gorgeous! Now I am really looking forward to starting season 2 later today.

Best of Whose Line is it Anyway? and no Robin Williams??
:thumbdown:
Whose Line is one of the rare shows that makes me laugh so much. I've always loved improvisation, and Whose Line is such a great improv platform.
I so long for the days when our very own LNI (Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation) was on the air here in Quebec...
I love Whose Line is it Anyway. It was on for a while before I saw it, but once I did, I was hooked right away. It was so funny.
I've seen the Robin Williams episode..that was hilarious. Definitely messed up that his episode isn't in a Best of set. Sheesh.

To be perfectly fair though, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a rights problem.

A year has passed since cartoonist Henry Rush (Ted Knight) begrudgingly agreed to lease the downstairs apartment to his grown daughters-and yet, somehow, things just don't appear to be getting any easier! Far from it. Heck, he's about to learn that his beloved wife Muriel (Nancy Dussault) is expecting! A baby? At his age?! Meanwhile, Jackie (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) and Sara's (Lydia Cornell) antics continue to be every conservative father's worst nightmare! Dating! European vacations! Foolish get-rich-quick schemes! Why, it's enough to drive any old man crazy. And that's not even taking into account the inevitable presence of the eternally hapless Monroe (Jim J. Bullock). Yikes! The walls are really closing in fast now! So sit back and get ready for timeless hilarity and definitive proof that sometimes even the most lovable family can simply be, well, just a little TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT! Episodes: 1. Guess Who's Coming to Burp? 2. Your Guest is as Good as Mine 3. Who's Sara Now? 4. The Prince and the Frog 5. What's Our Rush? 6. Rafkin's Bum 7. Where There's a Will 8. The Remaking of Monroe 9.

My Thoughts:
Last night I finished off season 2 of Too Close for Comfort. While I liked the addition of Cousin April (Deena Freeman)... I didn't care for her nearly as much as I like the sisters. This set is the only thing in my entire collection with her (Deena) in it. Which is surprising as I see looking at imdb she is still working. Maybe not as much as a lot of people... but she is still around. I always thought they went with the baby storyline pretty early into the series... but it is good. There was plenty of laughs coming from that storyline. I so wish they would release more seasons of this series!
After watching the episodes I watched a reunion featurette they made. Which was cool to see what the cast looks like now. I did notice they were promoting season 1 DVDs of the series in the reunion... they must have originally planned to make it a season 1 extra... but for some reason that never happened. I am just glad we got it in the season 2 set.

My Thoughts:
This is my first time seeing anything on this series. It is a bit different then the comedies I normally watch... but I enjoyed it very much. I gotten into it so much that I couldn't stop at just an episode or two... I ended up watching half the season before I was able to tear myself away from it. It is just too bad that the seasons are so short... only 10 episodes per season... for each of the first 5 seasons I have anyway.

My Thoughts:
I Just watched the first disc of season 2. I am still enjoying it quite a bit. This season brought on some changes... no more Anita or Holly.... Ellen bought the bookstore. And as of the last episode on the disc Adam got his own place... so now Ellen is living alone. Some of the differences seems a little strange... a bit difficult to get used to. But over all still a fun series.

One of the best series of the '90s, HEARTS AFIRE ignites laughter with its sizzling chemistry, razor-sharp dialogue and stellar cast, including the Oscar-winning Billy Bob Thornton as Ritter's best friend. Set in Washington, D.C., Ritter is John Hartman, a senator's aide and divorced dad who lives and works strictly by the book…except when it comes to brand-new press secretary Georgie Lahti (Post), a sassy, risk-taking rebel. They couldn't be more different, yet when the sparks fly, a passionate romance develops that changes their lives. Adding to the craziness, the couple must cope with Lahti's ex-con dad (Ed Asner), Billy Bob's estranged wife (Wendie Jo Sperber), Bosom Buddies) and their slightly scatterbrained boss (George Gaynes, Tootise). Includes all 23 episodes of this warm and witty series' unforgettable first season. |

My Thoughts:
This is a show I watched all the time when it originally aired. But this is the first I am seeing of it since. I remembered really enjoying this series back then. But it either wasn't as good as I remembered it being... or it didn't hold up too well to the test of time. Don't get me wrong... I still enjoyed it quite a bit. It just wasn't as funny as I remembered. Though I do like both John Ritter and Markie Post. One thing I never understood about this show. How the two was instantly attracted to each other... and fall in love in no time... but yet they still insist on calling each other by their last names. I don't know... that is just something that strikes me as weird. But over-all I still enjoy the show... and glad I finally have the series in my collection.

In a sudden, devastating nuclear attack, the Cylon robots - who have now taken human form - wipe out billions of people. Only a handful of Colonial forces are left to shepherd the few survivors to safety. Commander William Adama, the highest-ranking military officer left alive, reactivates the Battlestar Galactica to once again face humanity's greatest nemeses. Outnumbered and outarmed, Adama reluctantly concedes that the newly sworn-in President Laura Roslin is correct - this battle was lost before it had begun. With no choice but to flee, the ragtag fleet of survivors and humanity's only hope set out in search of the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol... a legendary planet known as Earth. |
My Thoughts:
My first taste of Battlestar Galactica... and I definitely enjoyed it. I am looking forward to watching the rest of the series. This show starts on a miniseries... so this one took me just over 3hrs to watch. So there was some scenes that I felt to be a little on the slow side. Not bad mind you... just a long start to the series. Don't let that fool you though... there is a lot of great sci-fi action as well. Just going by this miniseries I can see how this series became as popular as it has.

This disc starts the regular episodes of the series. So far I am enjoying the series very much. The storylines are really drawing me in. After the first two discs of the complete series boxset... I can say I am not even more thrilled a goood friend gave me this set for Christmas. While I could easily see myself going nuts on this show... and just zooming through the series I just am not going to let myself. I want to prolong the enjoyment of this set for as long as possible. I was thinking at the most one disc per day during the week... breaking for the weekends for my movie marathons. But then on the very first disc... the last episode on the disc had to end in those dreaded words... To Be Continued... I am going to still try to wait till tomorrow to pop in the next disc... though I may weaken before then!

My Thoughts:
I admit it... when I first got this one for Christmas I thought for sure it is one I wouldn't care for. I have nothing against reality TV... I enjoy shows such as Survivor and Big Brother. But a reality series about a rock star trying to find a girlfriend? Not exactly what you would call quality TV. Thankfully there wasn't as much music in it as I was expecting... though of course there was some. Even with all that said... I watched this entire season (13 episodes) in only 1 day. I somehow found this trashy series entertaining. But what is the deal? If you were to go by this series alone you would think almost every woman has breast implants! What ever happen to the beauty of a natural... real woman!?!? Though out of the twenty some contestants... there was a few natural women. I can't say exactly... but easily under 5 of them.
Another question. To any of you that may (or even used to watch) watch some reality TV. What is your thoughts of Reality TV on DVD? This is the second set I have now of a reality TV show. This and the very first season of Survivor. I don't know why... but for some reason reality TV don't have that same re-watch value as scripted TV series does. I can watch scripted series over and over again... but yet I only ever watched the first season of Survivor the once. On DVD when I first got the set. I just don't know what makes reality TV different for me.

This is the 3rd disc in the complete series set. So far I watched the miniseries and 8 episodes. At this point I feel myself becoming really hooked onto this series. It is really well done... and I am enjoying every minute of it. Lt. Kara "Starbuck" (played by Katee Sackhoff) is quickly becoming my favorite character. I think on this disc my favorite episode would have to be YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN... as it was the continuation of the last episode on disc 2... and I really liked where they went with the story. though it is hard to pick a favorite... as so far all the episodes has been good. This is quickly becoming a favorite series of mine.

This is the first time seeing this series. I thought I knew this series as the name sounded familiar... but I must have confused it with something else. Not a bad show... but I found it to be no more then an average sitcom. I watched all 6 episodes from season 1... plus the bonus episode from season 2... and through all that I would say I was lucky to get a couple chuckles out of it really. No real laugh out loud moments. But even with that it is still entertaining.

In both these series Stockard plaus an adventurous bright woman, estranged from her husband and determined to make it on her own. By removing herself from the shackles of married life in Boston and creating anew in Los Angeles, Stockard is a million other women who have done the same thing—for better or worse. Striking out on your own is at best a shaky road, and in Stockard's interpretation of Susan – from her wacky jobs at a health club and as a television investigating reporter to her face-to-face confrontation with her Ivy League hubby – "It's pure sophisticated comedy with a streak of reality so broad you could drive a tractor-trailer on it".

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching 4 episodes of Just Friends... Stockard Channings first series in this 2 series set. I am still not completely sure what I thought of it. On one hand I found it a fun and entertaining show. But on the other hand there is a lot of room for improvement. The whole production has a kind of cheap... get it out quick kind of feel towards it. While I was familiar with Stockard Channing... I was never what you would call a fan of hers.... but I really like her here. She wasn't what I would call a beautiful girl... but I did find her attractive in the girl next door kind of way. Which in ways I think is even better. In this one she is working in a health club... always working in either short shorts or leotards... and I must say she definitely looked good in them. Over all I enjoyed what I seen so far... and looking forward to watching some more.

By removing herself from the shackles of married life in Boston and creating anew in Los Angeles, Stockard is a million other women who have done the same thing—for better or worse. Striking out on your own is at best a shaky road, and in Stockard's interpretation of Susan – from her wacky jobs at a health club and as a television investigating reporter to her face-to-face confrontation with her Ivy League hubby – "It's pure sophisticated comedy with a streak of reality so broad you could drive a tractor-trailer on it". These beloved shows offer Stockard Channing's fan base an early glimpse into the talents of a young actress who has since gone on to star in numerous dramatic and comedic roles on the big screen as well as on television. Presented together, for the first time on home video, in this unique two disc collection are the cult TV series that nostalgic fans has been longing for! Episodes Watched: 5. Invasion of the Body Grabbers 6. The Boy in the Band 7. Same Time, Next Night 8. The Ziegenfuss Force 9. A Little Fright Music 10. The Hollywood Syndrome 11. Funny Thing Happened |
My Thoughts:
While looking for something to watch... I decided the heck with it... I will just finish off the series Just Friends. I found myself really getting into it... by the time it was about to end I was enjoying every minute of it. Odd thing is though... the last episode on the Just Friends disc is actually an episode of The Stockard Channing show... which I didn't realize till I turned it on. I hope I will be able to get into it just as much... but I have my doubts. It seems to be a very similar series... well her character is anyway... except she gets a different job... and the change most of the cast. The one other cast member they kept... they changed her name and had her working at the same place as the job she just got. So once again she is her neighbor and works with her both. I did like that they added Ron Silver to the cast as her new boss. It is actually a new series... but it feels like the same show that I will have to get used to the show all over again.

UNSUB: The Complete Series
Unsub was an American television series that aired on NBC from February 3, 1989 to April 14, 1989. The series centered around an elite FBI forensic team that investigates serial murderers and other violent crimes. Unsub is an abbreviation for the unknown subject of an investigation.
My Thoughts:
This is one of the short lived series that is in the Prime Time Crime collection I bought a while back. It only lasted 8 episodes (all of which is in that set). It is a show that I believe they just didn't give the chance to find an audience. I think it was canceled way too soon. As I found the series to be very strong and entertaining from the very first episode. It has a couple familiar faces in it. First there is the leader of the team played by David Soul (Starsky & Hutch, Salem's Lot)... then there is Richard Kind (Spin City)... who played one of the team members. Though he wasn't seen in every episode. The enjoyment I got from this series alone was worth the price I paid for the set.

Includes: Disc 1 - Relationships and Dating Pilot: Ally's childhood sweetheart, Billy, and his gorgeous, gifted attorney wife (Georgia), now work at the same law firm as Ally. To top that indignity, Ally loses her first case. The Attitude: Ally rules out a handsome D.A. as a potential romantic interest when he gets a blob of salad dressing on his chin. Cro-Magnon: Ally dates a nude model and then begins to see the now-famous "dancing baby." Are her hormones trying to tell her something? Silver Bells: Ally gets a case involving a threesome seeking a legal marriage. Then, Georgia insists that she, Ally and Billy discuss their own three-way relationship. Disc 2 - Therapy Theme Of Life: Ally's unorthodox new therapist Tracy (Tracey Ullman) advises her to kickbox with Georgia and get a theme song. The Playing Field: Ally tries to follow Tracy's advice and get rid of the dancing baby, but she kicks a "little person" instead! Also includes a "Searchin' My Soul" music video by Vonda Shepard and a preview of "Ally McBeal: The Official Guide." |
My Thoughts:
This is my very first taste of Ally McBeal... thanks to our good friend Roger for sending me over a copy of this two disc set last month. I found it to be a bit odd... definitely on the quirky side... but entertaining as can be. When I first saw that we would see and hear Ally's thoughts and fantasies I thought it would turn into silly non-sense. But I actually found I enjoyed it... that it actually worked for this show. This show has an odd mixture of comedy and courtroom drama. This is a show I could definitely see myself collecting... so will be looking forward to seeing some more episodes.

My Thoughts:
I had the urge to watch one of my old favorites this morning. Seeing these early episodes again felt so weird. The kids were so small... and Allison's hair was so long in this first season. I personally think Patricia Arquette looked much better with the long hair. Never cared for her with the shorter styles she had tried. This is a series I always liked... of course I always liked anything to do with the supernatural... whether it is horror monsters or psychics/seeing the dead like in this series. But it was a lot of fun watching these episodes again.

My Thoughts:
This is one of the shows I never seen before... that was given to me for Christmas. What I watched of it so far... it looks like I could get into the storyline enough to enjoy the series. But it is so much drama... pure drama is a genre I am not too good with... I can only watch a couple episodes at a time before I start to get a little bored with it and ready to watch something else. So this will definitely be one of those shows I only watch 2 or 3 episodes at a time as the mood hits.

My Thoughts:
I felt like watching more episodes of the first season of Medium. Good episodes on this disc as well. I think my favorite episode on this disc is Coming Soon... as it went in a slightly different direction then most the episodes do. Night Wolf is another excellent episode. By this point in the season we also get the idea that the kids are inheriting Allison's abilities.

This is a series that I never seen before. I blind bought this series when I found it super cheap ($3.00) at Big Lots about a year ago. It isn't a bad series... she has some funny characters. Each episode takes on a certain subject. Th first episode (Romance) is my favorite out of the three I watched so far. I did tire of watching the episodes fairly fast. So is another series that I will be watching here and there when the mood hits... but it is definitely worth the $3 I paid for the set.

For season 2 the only episode I saw before is Halloween Candy which I jumped ahead and watched in October for my Halloween marathon.

By the third disc I was already tiring of the storyline and was ready to put up the set for a while. I mean other then this specific storyline all the episodes are enjoyable. But not only do they go a direction with a single storyline that they never should have... they drag it out much too long where it does effect the enjoyment of the series to a point.

My Thoughts:
After watching and enjoying season four earlier this month... I couldn't help the urge to watch some of the early episodes again. So over the last couple days I watched the first two discs of season one. I really enjoyed watching these episodes again. I did forget how the earlier seasons concentrated more on the drama aspect of the series then the later seasons did... but definitely was fin revisiting these episodes.

My Thoughts:
Over the last two days I watched the entire 5th (final) season of Ellen. I really didn't remember much from this season... so was pretty much like watching it again for the first time. I read a lot of people say how this show went downhill in this season. So I was concerned about that when I started to watch... but I must say... at least for me... it didn't go downhill till about the end of the season. I really enjoyed most the episodes. But I must admit... I really disliked what she did for her 2 part series finale. I would have much preferred it if they made them like normal episodes... and give us a bit of a hint on what was in the future for the characters over some strange tribute to the golden age of vaudeville and television. In my opinion at least... the finale was nothing more then a huge letdown after a wonderfully funny series. What a disappointing ending to one of my favorite sitcoms.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed every minute of re-watching the final (5th) season of Ghost Whisperer. I remember when I first heard they were going to have a kid and the series was going to jump 5 years into the future I was really worried about the series. But in my opinion they managed to work it out well. I thought this season was much better then season 4 which was my least favorite season (though I did still enjoy it). I thought the kid they got to play their son did a fine job... and I liked the fact that he was more powerful then Melinda... so could see things even she couldn't. I am thrilled I now have this entire series... but at the same time saddened by the fact that there is no more to look forward to. Definitely one of my favorite recent series.

My Thoughts:
I just can't seem to get enough of this show here lately. So I went back and watched the next disc of Season 2 where I left off before getting the final season set. Looking back I wouldn't say the second season was a favorite season of mine... but there is still many good episodes that I enjoyed quite a bit. At the same time one of my least favorite episodes was on this disc. But I think that is mainly because music is such a big part of the storyline. At this point I think I will try to go on to another show... but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't find my way back to this show before too long.

When she and Buddy get into a heated argument, it's up to Charles to cool things off before he loses one of them for good.

But when Gwendolyn spies Charles and the girl together, the guys must come up with some clever tricks to set the matter straight. |
My Thoughts:
This is one of the series I watched when it originally aired. That was about 25 years ago... and I haven't seen an episode since. So I forgot how funny of a show this was. And it held up pretty well for me... so I definitely see more seasons coming my way before too long. There was a couple familiar faces on this first disc as guest stars... first the was a young Meg Ryan who played a college student that was looking to get into the same kind of work that Charles was doing. And then there was a very young Christina Applegate who played one of the kids at the daughter's slumber party.

My Thoughts:
Finished off season 2 on Jennifer Love Hewitt's birthday (2/21). There is a lot of very good episodes through-out the season... but for some reason... while I did enjoy it... the second season has my least favorite of the season finales. I am glad I finished re-watching the season as I really been on a Ghost Whisperer kick lately. As of now over the last couple months I watched all episodes except for season 3. While I do plan on watching season 3 again... I do think I will put it off for a bit.

When Grandma Irene tries to tempt Charles to join her in a new venture, Charles must decide if he really needs a break from his current job with the kids. |
My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying re-watching this series for the first time in many years. On this disc we meet the kids grandmother... played by Rue McClanahan (Golden Girls). She was in two episodes. Jennifer Runyon is already on the series much less then the first disc. And when she is on it is much more limited time. So while sad... as I enjoyed the character quite a bit... it isn't surprising that she will soon be completely gone from the series. This disc has a Christmas episode on it... but it really didn't impress me too much. It seemed to end a bit quickly and abruptly. I think they tried to fit too much into a 22 minute episode... and it just didn't work well. But as I said... over all still enjoying it quite a bit.

My Thoughts:
Yesterday evening I decided to finish off this set. Still enjoying this version of Batman (which I never seen before). Though I am still torn on how they draw some of the villains. Some they make look very cool... but others leave you scratching your head wondering what they were smoking when they came up with that design. This set has a Halloween episode (Grundy's Night) which I enjoyed quite a bit. It was also cool that there was a couple actors from the old Adam West Batman that lent their voices to this series. First Adam West himself did the voice of the mayor. Then there was Frank Gorshin (The Riddler on Adam West's Batman) who did the voice for Hugo Strange. Though I am not sure how many more episode there will be with him... as I believe he passed away shortly after this season was made.

My Thoughts:
This completes the first season set. I really enjoyed seeing this show again after a good 20-25 years. I forgot how funny the show was. I will definitely have to see about getting the second season set before too long. I'm just glad the season 1 set had the first episode of season 2 as a bonus feature. Giving me a reminder how it was after the change of family that he was helping.

Maybe some Count Chocula or Frankenberry... would even settle for some Boo-Berry. Do they still make these cereals? I haven't even thought of them in God knows how long! I just asked Britt and she remembers them from a few years back. I am thinking maybe they were bringing them back out for Halloween a few years back. But think even that stopped.

I was in my favorite supermarket a few days ago and I deliberately looked for these cereals as I figured they were still being made...but you know what? I couldn't find any of them! So maybe they don't? Of course, with Count Chocula, they don't need to...there's probably several cereals out there that taste the same...like Cocoa Puffs or Chocolate Cheereos or Cocoa Pebbles? Count Chocula is likely the only one of the 3 I'd care for anyway...

My Thoughts:
I remember watching this series when it originally aired back in the early '90s. And when I saw this DVD set available I had to order it so I could watch the show again... this time with Brittany. It is a fun show made by Nickelodeon. Both Britt and I enjoyed watching this first disc over a couple nights of viewing. As the plot says above... a very young Jessica Alba is in this show. But looking at the case above you would think she is a main star or something... getting billing with the star like that. But in reality she is only in a couple episodes. I guess they figured they could sell more copies by putting her name on there like that now that she is such a big star.

My Thoughts:
I blind bought this show when I discovered how much I enjoy the original C.S.I. series (Las Vegas). I admit I had a hard time getting used to the new characters in this series. This took away from the series a bit for me at first. But now that I am just into the second half of the first season... I am used to the new characters... and I am finding myself getting more into the episodes. I really enjoyed this disc. Some good cases... I especially liked the episode with the dead contortionist from the circus. I think mainly because I liked the added fun of the circus.
I must say though... even though I am now enjoying this series very much... I still prefer the original series over this one. I just like the characters more.

When homicidal robbers steals the car, Starsky must track down the thieves before the bomb goes off. Guest-starring Suzanne Somers. 3 DEATH RIDE On assignment to protect the daughter of a crime czar who's agreed to testify against mob bosses, Starsky and Hutch must drive her back home from San Francisco, pursuaded by ruthless killers all alongthe way. 4 TEXAS LONGHORN When the wife of a used-car tycoon is raped and slain by a pair of drug addicts, Starsky & Hutch race to catch the killers before the distraught widower takes vigilante justice into his own hands. Written by Michael Mann (Ali, The Insider) |
My Thoughts:
I decided to go from a contemporary cop show to a classic cop show with Starsky & Hutch.
This set is basically a blind buy as I never seen hardly any episodes before buying it. The only episode I ever seen before is Savage Sunday. It was on a DVD I have called Greatest '70s Cop Shows. Watching that disc is what made me want to order this set. The first thing I noticed is that the pilot has an unusual running time of something like 1hr. 11min. So I take it that when this series originally ran the pilot ran for an hour and a half with commercials. Another thing I found a bit odd in the pilot episode is that you barely got to see their signature car... the Gran Torino. I am glad that changed with the very next episode... as that car is one of my favorite things about the series. Though it wasn't in the episode Death Ride very much either. Over-all I am enjoying the show. I look forward to continuing the series.

My Thoughts:
I decided to continue watching show a little more. It has always been one of my favorite... every since the pilot episode originally aired. This disc only has 3 episodes instead of the normal 4... this is because the episode Still Life is on the disc twice. Once in regular 2-D and once in 3-D. Being blind in one eye... I had no choice but to watch the 2-D version.

Justice League: Season 1
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl - they have all used their unique powers to fight evil across the galaxy. These 7 super heroes unite to become the Justice League. These 26 adventures feature battles with favorite villains like Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage and sorceress Morgan Le Fey. Acts of justice include saving Aquaman from a coup and clearing Green Lantern's name in a charge of genocide. From the smash hit TV series, these triumphant tales of teamwork will enthrall and inspire!
My Thoughts:
Over the last 2 days I watched the entire first season of Justice League: Season 1... which I borrowed from my daughter's collection. Despite the fact that Wonder Woman can fly like Superman... which I don't care for (that is not the Wonder Woman I grew up knowing about)... I really enjoyed this animated series. So much so that I actually hated when the season was over. Especially since the first season is all Britt has in her collection. This is one show I would really like to get the complete series set of.

My Thoughts:
I watched this entire season over the last couple days. I enjoyed every minute of it. I liked the new look they gave Sarah Chalke's character... though I do usually prefer longer hair on girls this new haircut looked good on her. I also thought they went in a good direction with her character as well. There is a nice selection of extras in this set which is always a fun thing. Hopefully I will be able to add the next season before too long.

My Thoughts:
Now you know I couldn't go too long after getting the season five set without watching the first disc. This is more like it... I still enjoy these characters more then I do on CSI: NY. All the episodes on this disc was good... though I think I liked the first one the best.

My Thoughts:
While I liked the episodes of Batman Beyond that spawned this series... I must admit I really wasn't sure that the character could pull off his own series. But it turns out I enjoyed it more then I thought I would so I am glad I decided to pick up this set. This series only lasted 2 seasons... unfortunately the second season was never released on DVD.

I finished off this season set last night. And must say I enjoyed it all very much. As I said... I didn't think that the character could pull off his own series. I was happy to see that in one episode of this disc that Batman showed up. I wish he would have shown up a little more. Maybe he did in season 2. Which unfortunately isn't on DVD. And with this set coming out 2 years ago... I doubt we will see season 2 released.

My Thoughts:
Just finished the second disc of season 5. I am still enjoying every minute of this series... which I think is very cool considering this is the 5th season. I had to laugh at the first episode on this disc. An episode where a group of neighbors have a swinger party once a month. It seems they wanted to have a little fun with this... and named the neighbors after classic sitcom families. First there was Brady (The Brady Bunch of course)... then there was Cunningham (Happy Days)... and then it was topped off with Keaton (Family Ties). So yes... I did get a kick out of that.
the last episode on this disc (CH-CH-CHANGES) is the 100th episode of the series. I notice that usually shows go all out to try to bring you a special episode for their 100th. In this case it was good... I did enjoy it... but I didn't see nothing special about it. I don't know... maybe it is because I am enjoying this series so much that I expected a little more then I should have from it. But over all... I continue to enjoy every episode.

My Thoughts:
I just finished the first disc of this classic sitcom. When I ordered this set I was a little worried about how well it would hold up for me. But there was no need to worry. I enjoyed every second of watching this disc. There was several moments that I literally laughed out loud watching. Matter of fact... Brittany watched a couple episodes with me... and she got laughing so hard at it that I literally had to pause the DVD just so she could calm down and catch her breath. I was also concerned on how well the audio/video quality would be on this set. Even though there was some particles and a scratch here and there in some episodes... over all I was really impressed with the quality. I had a lot of fun getting re-acquainted with this series and look forward to watching the next 4 discs full of episodes.

My Thoughts:
This is a series I bought blind after hearing about our good friend Roger enjoying his copy. Watching the first couple episodes I must admit that I was a little disappointed. But by the third episode I found myself getting into it a bit more. By the end of this first disc I felt I enjoy it enough to look forward to watching the rest of the set. I wouldn't say it is my favorite sitcom... but it definitely has it's moments. Enough of them that at this point if they were to release the rest of the series... I would buy them. So I am definitely not sorry I picked this set up.

My Thoughts:
Went ahead and watched Season 5 over the last couple days. While I still enjoyed it very much... this wasn't a favorite season of mine. I don't know why... I guess it seems the quality of the episodes went down just a hair. Looks like this is the beginning of the end... even though they must have tried to keep it around as long as possible. After this season there was one more full season... followed by 3 much shorter seasons. I definitely want to keep collecting at this point. Matter of fact... I would like to get the next season as soon as possible... what with the way this season ended I definitely want to see where they go with it.

My Thoughts:
This series is starting to grow on me a bit more. I enjoyed this second disc quite a bit. This disc has 2 holiday episodes. First there is the Thanksgiving episode Phone Home for the Holidays... which I enjoyed every second of. I especially liked that they had a special guest star of Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) as the new woman Hope & Faith's father is seeing. Then there is the Christmas episode Silent Night, Open Night where Faith helps with one of the kids' school play. As I said... the show is starting to grow on me... so I am looking forward to watching the final two discs in this set.

My Thoughts:
Still enjoying this show... though by this episode I can pretty much say it will never be one of my favorites... but it is worth the time put in to watch it. This show does seem to usually be good for some decent guest stars. On this disc we see Mimi Rogers, Kathy Lee Gifford, Kevin Sorbo and Roger Clemens. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Jury Duty. In the last episode (Faith's Maid) they were obviously doing their own take of the I Love Lucy skit where Lucy and Ethel was working at the candy factory. But these two are really out of their league when it comes to doing a skit made famous by Lucy.

This is a show I bought on a whim when I seen it on sale very cheap. I remembered seeing this on the original airing back in the mid '80s... and remembered enjoying it well enough to make it worth a purchase. I am enjoying it even more then I remembered. The Phantom is my favorite of the superheroes on this show. I also like how this show is more then the four superheroes... that they each have a teen kid to help them on the way. The episodes I watched today are from the first side of disc 1.

My Thoughts:
I decided to finish off this set over the last couple days. As I have said... this show has grown on me quite a bit. I won't say it is a favorite sitcom... but it is worth the time to put into it to watch it. Even though I doubt any more seasons of this one will be released now... if they were I would continue to collect the show. Though I would wait for a decent price to do so. The season finale wasn't all that great to me since I am not a fan of Soap Operas. Though I am sure the 2 part finale did have some big soap stars in it. They aren't anyone I would recognize.

The results of the inquiry lead to dramatic changes of the CSI team and the series. 10. NO HUMANS INVOLVED Grissom and his team investigate the starving death of a five year old boy. They discover the boy has siblings who are in danger too. Catherine and her team determine who killed a prisoner in a holding cell brawl. 11. WHO SHOT SHERLOCK? Greg, for his final proficiency, has to determine how the Sherlock Holmes of a Sherlock Holmes club was killed. Nick and Warrick try to determine how the driver of jeep was killed when the car ran off the road. They have to do this under budget while Catherine is watched by Ecklie. 12. SNAKES The swing shift has a busy time. Warrick looks into the murder of man by someone who apparently needs a wheelchair. Nick looks into the murder of woman in the subculture of the narcocorrido, songs about drug murders. The night shift is slow and lends help to Catherine's team. |
My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying this series very much. I feel it is definitely better then CSI: NY. Though the episodes on this disc wasn't quite as good as previous episodes... they are still good enough to keep my attention through-out. I think in the case of this disc my favorite episode has to be Who Shot Sherlock? Which I felt was the stand out episode of the above four. They did a good job on that one making they mystery a bit more tough. And rightly so since it was about a fantasy group into Sherlock Holmes.

My Thoughts:
Recently finished off another disc in the season 5 set. Still enjoying the episodes... all episodes on this disc is pretty equally good. So not sure which one I would say is my favorite episode on this disc. Maybe Unbearable. I must admit that the episode King Baby was a bit on the disturbing side.

My Thoughts:
Just finished off the second disc of the set. I am still enjoying watching these episodes again. It has been so long since I seen these that it is like watching it for the first time again. While I enjoyed every episode on this disc... I would have to say my favorite for the disc would be between The Christmas Story where Dennis gets very creative trying to find the hidden Christmas presents so he can know what he is getting before Christmas morning... and Dennis Haunts a House was also a lot of fun. Dennis Haunts a House also has a very young Ron Howard in it.

My Thoughts:
As I have said before on this series... these DVD sets are my first taste of this cartoon. While I have had to get used to how they draw some of the characters... over all I been enjoying the show quite a bit. Odd thing about season 3. This is the season they introduce Batgirl. The odd thing about it... while it is Barbara Gordon that is Batgirl.. they made her Batman's first side-kick. They haven't even introduced Robin yet (from what I understand they did that in season 4). But as far as I can remember... at least in all the material I have either seen or read... Batgirl was never actually Batman's side-kick. Someone can correct me if I am remembering wrong. They also introduced Poison Ivy this season. And they started out the season with Barbara Gordon and Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) being friends from school (they are both teens). They drew both of the new characters pretty good. Though I think they could have done Batgirl's costume a little better. Over-all I am still enjoying the series quite a bit. And I am looking forward to completing this season and hopefully before too long seeing the final 2 seasons as well.

You have to remember, Pete, that the series/films/whatever will always play second fiddle to the comic, which is how it should be. So what you'll get is essentially an adaptation. It sounds like the series is making a mash-up of characters. Bat-Girl was briefly Barbara Gordon in the original DC stories and then another character took over, but she was off and on a sidekick or villain. And there have been so many Robins that she was probably a sidekick in between different incarnations!

My Thoughts:
I couldn't wait to check out some of the sixth season's episodes... so I was quick to pop in disc one. I am still enjoying the episodes. But not quite as much as I did the earlier episodes. It seems the idea and style of the show is starting to get a little old. Don't get me wrong. At this point I still want to complete the series. It just seems the show has hit it's peak and is on the way down. The sixth episodes of the sixth season is a musical episode. I despise musical episodes of TV series. I don't understand why they keep doing these. One of my all time favorite shows (Grey's Anatomy) just recently did a musical episode as well. And as much as I love that series... it was very hard to get through that episode. Enough with the musical episodes already!

My Thoughts:
This is a series I bought blind... after doing a little research I found out it is a short-lived series that ran for 2 short seasons. The first season aired under the title of She-Wolf of London. While the very short (6 episodes) had the series relocated to LA and had the name of the series changed to Love and Curses. I had heard that the series is good during the first season... but it went drastically downhill for the second season.
I found out that this is about more then just werewolves. It feels a bit like The X-Files where the professor and the student (the She-Wolf) are searching for a cure... and while at it run into... and handle... more of the Supernatural.
I would say my favorite episode on the first disc would have to be Moonlight Becomes You. This one happens to be just about werewolves. But the entire episode had me completely hooked. So far I am really enjoying the series... look forward to finishing up the set.

My Thoughts:
I decided to go ahead and finish off this set. After watching the first disc of season 6 I felt that the show went down hill a bit for me. But shortly after that I found myself getting into it once again. The silly daydreams that the main character has is entertaining... but I think you really need to be in the mood to watch something silly to really get into this series. I think my favorite character has to be Elliott Reed played by Sarah Chalke. I get a kick out of how fast she gets talking when she gets excited. I am looking forward to hopefully getting more seasons before too long. Maybe I will be lucky enough to get a season or two for my birthday. I still need 3 more seasons to complete this series. If I am not mistaking... the final three seasons were all short seasons.

My Thoughts:
This finishes off the 3rd season of this incarnation of Batman. I enjoyed it well enough... and I am getting used to this style of animation. Batgirl is a nice addition to the show. I like what they did with her. But I did find it funny that she was in most of the episodes... trying to convince Batman to make her his side-kick. And finally when there was like 3 episodes left in the season she succeeds... getting some nice toys in a new official utility belt. Only to disappear for the rest of the season. Oh well I am sure she will be back for season 4. Season 4 is also the season that Robin first appears... so looking forward to seeing how they did him. I still need to add seasons 4 & 5 to my collection to complete this series.

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I ever seen this particular reality series. I have however seen and enjoyed the Celebrity version which I have watched for a few seasons now. I enjoyed what I saw here... but I prefer the celebrity version much more going by what I seen here. I heard through-out the celebrity seasons I saw about how off this one player Omarosa was. Turns out she was on this season. I was expecting a lot worse from her then what I saw here. Some of the celebrity players I saw have been much more nuts. Anyway... I consider this one to be a good show... but nothing spectacular. The DVD itself hit on a pet peeve of mine. I believe TV Series should always have a chapter stop just after the opening credits. I mean how often can you sit there and watch the opening credits within one set... especially when you are watching a set in marathon mode? So instead of just having to click the next button and I am automatically back to the show... I have to fast forward through the opening credits. A minor thing... yes... but one that I really find unnecessary.My Rating:

This is a series I never watched before. But figured it lasted 10 years... there must be something good about it. I went into this one curious but with low expectations. Plus I was looking forward to seeing Shannen Doherty in an early role. Who I became a fan of from watching her in Charmed. I was kinda surprised... I could barely recognize her... took me a few minutes to realize it was her. The show is better then I was expecting and I can see myself collecting the series. But it isn't one I would be super-anxious to complete. Just a good, solid series. Of course this is going only by the pilot episode... my opinion could easily change... either way... with a few more episodes.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I got to see this series. I remember when it was originally on TV and I wanted to check it out... but there was already two shows I taped at that time and night. So because of limitations of my DVR I wasn't able to watch it at the time. Christian Slater is the star of this show. I never really been that big of a fan of his. But at the same time I never disliked him. Just never overly impressed with him. After watching the pilot episode I thought to myself this show could either go really good or it could go really bad. After watching the first disc I have to wonder how this series was canceled after only 9 episodes. It seems NBC is getting as bad as FOX when it comes to not giving a show a chance. I am really enjoying this one... looking forward to watching the next disc. Even with the thoughts that this series is most likely doomed to end in a cliffhanger since it was never given a real chance to succeed.My Rating:

I finally got to finish the firs disc of this short-lived comedy. This is a strange case here. While I find it to be a funny show... I saw the cancellation coming as soon as I saw the pilot episode. Just by the style of the comedy and the storyline I knew it couldn't hold up at any significant length. Though I am enjoying what there was of it. While I watched this series when it originally aired... I stopped watching somewhere within the next couple of episodes. So I am looking forward to seeing what they did with the episodes I never seen. Going by the list of episodes and the images on the menu the series gets to the point of the baby being born. So I am hoping at least that this one don't end with a cliffhanger.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying this show quite a bit. Some of the episodes do get a little on the overly-silly side. But they are fun to watch all the same. One episode on this I especially enjoyed is the second part of Can't Keep a Dead Man Down. This is mainly because we got to see the werewolf better then we have seen her in any of the episodes to this point. Not only do we get good clear looks at the werewolf.. she transforms not once... but twice in that one episode which is definitely a first... especially considering we sometimes go 2 to 3 episodes without seeing her transform at all. I also found it very entertaining... they actually had her on a plane when the full moon came. And she had to improvise and went to the restroom when she felt the transformation starting. This show also has quite a bit of overacting in it. But that seems to be on purpose and all the actors does their fair share of it. Like it is actually part of the show.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I been wanting to check this series out for a while now. Only because I have always got a kick out of those old Ernest commercials from the '80s... and I enjoyed what few Ernest movies I have seen.So a friend of mine got me a copy for an early birthday present. And I must say... I am not that impressed. Sure he does a lot of characters... some of which are from those old commercials so that was fun. But for the most part it is nothing more then a silly kid show. But I was expecting that and thought I could get through it with little to no problems. But I guess that is only the case when nostalgia is involved. To give an idea on this show... think something similar to Peewee's Playhouse. Though in my opinion this is much better... for the plain fact that I can not stand Peewee Herman! Ernest is way much better! Oh well... I will still make my way through this set. It is just something I can't watch more then a few episodes at a time... here and there. So it will definitely take me some time to get through it!My Rating:

It's only four episodes so make an effort (even if by the score it looks like quite a task) :tease:

Now this is more like it! Some real nostalgia! Of course this show is before my time... but I watched it in reruns through-out my childhood. And once again I had a blast watching these episodes again. While it is a tough call I would say my favorite episode on this disc was Mr. Wilson's Sister. I have also been right impressed with the quality of these episodes. As old as they are and they look great. I have had no problems with the audio or the video in any of the episodes yet. Granted this is on a standard 24" TV... no idea how they would be on an HDTV. My Rating:

It is nice seeing some more episodes of this series. I am glad to see the addition of Robin. Think they did him pretty good in this series. I also enjoyed how they did the more or less sibling rivalry between him and Batgirl. I especially liked the last two episodes on this disc. The one dealing with Zombies I liked because... well you know me when it comes to anything horror related... and I thought it was pretty cool seeing a zombie version of Batgirl and Robin. And the last episode on this disc... I don't know why... I just always liked episodes such as this where they go well into the future and look back into the history/legend of the character. If I am not mistaken they also did an episode or two like this on Xena as well.My Rating:

This is the first time I ever seen this show. A good friend of mine sent me the first three seasons when she heard I never seen it before. She knew I would love it... as I normally do when it comes to medical shows. I must say at first I couldn't stand the main character... Dr. House. I found him to be very arrogant and annoying. But somehow that old arrogant grump grew on me over the first few episodes. The way Dr. House was always swallowing pain pills for his leg I thought early on that they would have him addicted to pain medicine at some point in this series... and while there was nothing too much about it yet... one of the doctors mentioned something about him being an addict. I seen it coming... but was surprised to see it come this soon. While I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... I think my favorite episode so far has to be DAMNED IF YOU DO... about the nun coming to the hospital. Which also just happened to be the Christmas episode as well.My Rating:

This disc completes the fourth season. It also introduces Harley Quinn. They pretty much made the classic Harley.... didn't really change her look up at all. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... especially the last two where they bring in the Martin Manhunter. There was a lot of fun and action in that 2 part season finale. And they set up the final (fifth) season real nicely at the end... where the Martin Manhunter brings Batman into the Justice League... which of course means there will be a lot of guest super-heroes in the final season. So I am really looking forward to continue watching this series.My Rating:

It is pretty cool seeing all the different heroes from the Justice League in the show in the fifth season. It does seem a little strange that they all know each others secret identities. Not that it don't make sense... just not used to it. My favorite episodes on this disc is the 2 part episode with Superman and Ring Toss with the Green Lantern. There was also an episode with The Flash. They kinda disappointed me with how they did The Flash. He looked fine... but the way they made him act seemed off. They normally make the character smart mouthed and funny. But in this show they didn't do that... but made everything he does really fast... even in his downtime... like talk fast and eat fast... the works. It made it feel like he couldn't act "normal" at all... even if he tried... making him have a secret identity odd... like he wouldn't be able to pull it off. Over-all I am still enjoying this show quite a bit. Makes me sad to realize I only have 6 more episodes to watch of the entire series.My Rating:

As I was saying when I watched disc 1... From the first time I saw the pilot episode of this short-lived sitcom I knew it wasn't going to make it. But that didn't stop me from enjoying the show. I am really glad I got this DVD set... as it turns out I missed most the episodes during the second half of the original airing. So I was able to see them for the very first time today. This series only lasted 16 episodes... but either they knew ahead of time about the cancellation or we got lucky on this one. As the last episode closed out the series rather well. Ending with the birth of their baby. So no unanswered question here. The last episode also happens to be my favorite episode of the series. I thought it was very funny the way they did it.My Rating:

This show is quickly becoming very addictive to me. I am getting more and more hooked with each episode. Even the main character... House... has really grown on me as I didn't like him at all at the very beginning of the series. Now I can't wait to see what he will do next. I really like medical dramas... and this one is starting to rank up there with my top favorite. I am so glad I finally got the chance to see this series. I think my favorite episodes on this disc is between Cursed and Heavy. Oddly enough they are also the two episodes dealing with a child getting sick. For some reason that seems to make the stories more urgent. I mean who don't want to see a deathly sick kid finally get treated and saved.My Rating:

This disc finishes off not only the season... but the entire series. I have now seen every episode of The Batman. And I must say... I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. What with how some of the characters were drawing and such. Which is something that only took a short time to get used to. This disc finished off the series nicely. As the 2 part finale worked well as both a season finale as well as a series finale. And I must say the 2 part finale was my favorite episodes on this disc. Mostly because every member of the Justice League was in it... so no shortage of superheroes there! I did find it a bit odd that they didn't have Wonder Woman as part of the Justice League in this series. Anyway... it was a lot of fun watching these episodes... can definitely see myself watching the series again at some point.My Rating:

I felt like a little classic television so I decided to pop in one of my Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis Show DVDs. This show was also known as The Colgate Comedy Hour. And it definitely had some laughs in it. But it also has quite a bit of music in it as well. A little too much for my taste. But that is ok... because there is enough good comedy in it to still make it worth watching for me. Being on one of those public domain releases I really wasn't expecting much quality wise... but I was pleasantly surprised. There was a few problems here and there... but for the most part it was more then watchable.My Rating:

This completes the first season. I really enjoyed watching this set. Seems I found another great medical drama to get into. House is the type of character that I couldn't stand at first. I felt like slapping him upside the head. But he quickly grew on me... and before I knew it I was loving his antics. If there is one thing I would have changed about this set... is that it is on 3 double sided discs instead of 6 single sided discs. I just never cared much for those duel sided discs. Thankfully they corrected this for the second season. I would have to say that I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Three Stories. I liked it because it told a bit of background on what is wrong with House's leg... and it is done in a fun way. Honeymoon... the season finale... was also pretty good. I found it funny that House's ex-girlfriend now has a job in the hospital. That should make things interesting for the next season.My Rating:

A good start to the second season. Though a couple of the episodes on this disc is a little more on the average side... I really enjoyed the other two.

Very brave kid... and pretty slick to... being able to steal her first kiss from one of the doctors.My Rating:

while I am still enjoying the series a lot... the episodes on this disc weren't quite up to the standard I have gotten used to on this show. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be The Mistake... as I really liked how they handled this episode. I normally don't care for the use of flashbacks... but it was handled pretty good in this episode. I did enjoy the episode Daddy's Boy as well.My Rating:

After watching many of the original Bionic Woman episode... I just had the urge to watch the newer series again. So popped in the first disc today. As much as I love the original series... I also enjoy this one. But for different reasons. For the most part over-all I liked how they updated this series... sure it was far from perfect. But I believe if they would have given it more of a chance and tweaked it here and there... they could have had a winning series here. But of course instead they were too quick to cancel it instead. The entire series is only eight episodes! I like who they chose to play Jaime Somers. Though I am really not familiar with her... as this is the only thing in my entire collection I have with her in it! I also liked the fact that they gave her a little sister... and I think the actress they got to play her (Lucy Hale)... she seemed to do a great job. Though once again... this is the only thing I have with her in it as well.I enjoyed watching this series again. If you count the original airing this is the fourth time I seen these episodes. I will have to be sure to watch the other disc again within the next couple days... as I have gotten into the storylines once again. I always wanted Jaime to tell her sister about her bionics... but I just can't remember if they got to that before the series was canceled.

I been watching episodes on this disc off and on for a while. Finally got the last episode on the disc watched. As most people know... I love horror. And this is one of my favorite horror series. I enjoyed watching these episodes again. My favorite episode on this disc has to be MONSTER MOVIE... because I like how they did it. And it involving the classic movie monsters in a fun way. The last episode on this disc... WISHFUL THINKING is also enjoyable... though this one is done mostly for laughs and has a lot of silly parts in it.My Rating:

Another disc worth of good episodes. There is a couple familiar faces in these episodes. First is Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City) in Deception. She plays the woman they believe to have Munchausen syndrome. Then in the next episode... Failure to Communicate... we have Mimi Kennedy (Dharma & Greg). who plays the patient's boss... as the attack happens at an office party. Of the episodes on this disc I would have to say my favorite episode would have to be Deception.My Rating:

This disc is filled with excellent episodes. I really enjoyed every one of them. There was even a couple faces I am familiar with in a couple of the episodes. First in Skin Deep there is Cameron Richardson who was in the short lived series Point Pleasant. Next in Sex Kills we have Howard Hesseman who played Charlie Moore in the series Head of the Class. Then finally in Safe there was Michelle Trachtenberg who was Dawn Summer (Buffy's sister) in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If I had to pick a favorite episode on this disc... I would have to go with Safe. That episode just went in so many directions before getting to the true answer you couldn't help but to get lost in the episode.My Rating:

Brittany and I just watched the first disc of this set. She wanted to watch it with me since she just got it for me for Father's Day. As always... this show is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed all the episodes on this disc. If I had to pick a favorite episode out of the ones above... I would have to go with The Adhesive Duck Deficiency... if for no other reason it was hysterical seeing Sheldon having to deal with an injured and nude Penny.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Season three really starting off with a bang. Every episode on this disc is extremely good. This disc had me completely hooked over the last couple days. Surprisingly out of the five episodes on this first disc there was no guest stars that I am familiar with. It is really hard trying to pick a favorite episode off this disc since they are all so great. But if you were to force me to pick one... I guess I would have to go with Cane & Able... if for no other reason I liked the whole abducted by aliens storyline. This is also the episode that has the alternate scene of the two female cast members (Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy & Jennifer Morrison as Dr. Allison Cameron) having some fun doing one of their scenes together like valley girls. That is a bonus feature that is definitely worth a laugh. I hope if I get season 4 soon that I will get some more of those valley girl scenes.My Rating:

Enjoyed this disc full of episodes very much. A lot of laugh out loud moments here. Some familiar faces appearing on this disc as well. First there is Katee Sackoff from Battlestar Galactica. Then there was Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years, In another episode there is Yeardely Smith who voices Lisa on The Simpsons. And finally of course Stan Lee. Once again it is pretty difficult picking a favorite episode on this disc... but if forced to I guess I would go with The Excelsior Acquisition. My Rating:

While I am still enjoying this series quite a bit... the episodes on this disc didn't impress me nearly as much as the ones on the last disc. This whole storyline of the detective going after House has gotten pretty old pretty fast. Thankfully we are at the tail end of that storyline. Checking DVD Profiler... the detective is in only one more episode. If I was to pick a favorite episode on this disc. To be honest I am really not sure which I would pick. They are all pretty standard episodes... all seem to just be a vehicle to advance the detective storyline. But if I was forced to pick one... I guess I would go with Finding Judas. As that was the most interesting medical case of the bunch.My Rating:

This is a short lived series Ellen DeGeneres did a few years after her hit series Ellen. This one isn't quite as good as Ellen... but I still enjoyed it very much. Once again Ellen's character is gay. Not surprising since it was just a few years after she came out. The episodes on this disc has plenty of laugh out loud moments. And some familiar guest stars as well. First the episode Joe has Tom Poston... who I personally know the best from Mork & Mindy. Then there is the always wonderful Betty White in the episode Missing the Bus. In the same episode... Dakota Fanning played a young Ellen in a flashback. While this series is not quite as good... and not as well known. If you enjoyed the series Ellen I am fairly sure you will enjoy this show as well.My Rating:

First there is Kadem Hardison (A Different World).... and then there was Kurtwood Smith (That '70s Show). I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Insensitive.

Finally finished off this set. I mean what took me so long... I have had it for a whole 4 days now! :P This disc has some good episodes... enjoyed it quite a bit. And once again there was a few notable guest stars. Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: TNG) made his second appearance. Then Sara Gilbert (Roseanne) returns for a brief scene. And finally Mayim Bialik (Blossom) makes her first appearance. Picking a favorite episode off of this disc is easy. While I definitely enjoyed each and every episode... I absolutely loved The Staircase Alternative. The whole story on how Leonard and Sheldon met was just plain hilarious. I also watched a couple of the extras on this disc. First I watched the Gag Reel as that has normally been a favorite extra of mine. And it was pretty good... had a few chuckles in it. After that I watched Takeout with the Cast of The Big Bang Theory... which is a featurette of the stars sitting around talking while enjoying Chinese take-out. This was a clever set-up to get the cast to answer some fan questions. Each of the questions were inside fortune cookies. It was a fun featurette... I actually enjoyed it a bit more then the gag reel.

I watched this one yesterday evening. I am still enjoying this series very much. I wouldn't go as far to say it took the place of my favorite medical drama (Grey's Anatomy) But this one is very close to it... almost equal to it. There is a few familiar faces on this disc. First there is Marc Blucas who played Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then there was Joel David Moore who played the intern Colin Fisher on Bones. And finally Charles S. Dutton which I know from several different movies I have seen him in. Picking a favorite episode on this disc... I would have to pick Airborne... where a couple of doctors are trapped on a plane with a violently ill person... who may be contagious... and there could be dozens of people dead before the plane can land. Sure I have seen this storyline on more then one medical show before... but this show did it well.My Rating:

I just couldn't help myself. I had to watch the last disc of this set... and the last disc of the series that I own. I will HAVE to get season 4 when I get paid! I may even get season 5 to go with it... I am sooo hooked on this show now! all the episodes on this disc were very good... but if I was to pick a favorite... I guess I would go with Family. I think I enjoyed that one the most out of these. The only guest star on these episodes that I am familiar with would be Piper Perabo... who I just know from a handful of movies. The way this season ended I really can't wait to see where they go with the show.My Rating:

Decided to finish off this set over the last couple days. As I believe I said when watching the first disc... this is a good series but I prefer her earlier series Ellen. This disc is filled with several familiar guest stars. First in Ellen's First Christmas... Ellen pulled off a Mary Tyler Moore Show reunion. As always Cloris Leachman plays Ellen's mother. Then for this episode she got Mary Tyler Moore herself to play her aunt.... and finally with a surprise appearance at the end of the episode we have Ed Asner. Then in the Episode Shallow Girl we get two more... we get Maureen McCormick (The Brady Bunch) as well as Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory). And then in the very next episode... Gathering Moss we have the late, great John Ritter (Three's Company) I thought it was pretty cool that Kaley Cuoco and John Ritter was in back to back episodes what with them starring together in 8 Simple Rules. Picking a favorite episode on this disc is fairly easy... even though I enjoyed all the episodes very much. My favorite episode must be Ellen's First Christmas.My Rating:

Note: This is a disc we rented from Netflix.This is a show I never seen before... but one I was curious about. As I have been a fan of Holly Marie Combs for a long time... and she plays the mother of one of the teen girls. Then today while watching it I find out that Lucy Hale plays her daughter.... who I know from the 2007 version of Bionic Woman playing Jaime Summer's little sister.
As for the show itself. I enjoyed it more then I thought I would to be honest. I really like the mystery of who killed Allison and who is sending all the messages to her friends. My brother watched this disc before I did... and he said it reminded him of Veronica Mars... but I don't see it. I would say it reminds me more of the Jennifer Love Hewitt movie I Know What You Did Last Summer. We will continue getting the discs through Netflix... and I can see eventually adding the series to my collection... depending on when I can get it cheap... as I am on a bit of a budget here lately.

My Thoughts:
After watching the first disc of Pretty Little Liars: Season 1 today... I wanted to finish off this set which also has Lucy Hale are a regular. The only guest star on this disc that I am familiar with is Beth Broderick (Aunt Zelda on Sabrina the Teenage Witch). While I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... picking a favorite is easy for me. On this disc I liked the final episode. It was a fun episode and Jamie got close to telling her sister about herself. Something I was waiting to happen the entire time. I enjoyed this series quite a bit... and think I enjoy it a little more on multiple viewings then I originally did when it was first airing.My Rating:

Finally getting back to this series. I am still enjoying it very much. On this disc there was only 2 guest stars that I recognized. And they were both in the same one episode... Compulsion. The guest stars was Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: TNG) and Jason Segal (How I Met Your Mother). As for my favorite episode on this disc... it is a close call as they are all right good... But I guess I would go with Hollywood Brass as it digs a little into Captain Brass' personal life.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
With only a handful of episodes left (this disc and a double length season finale on next disc) I decided to try and finish off this season of CSI. The only guest star familiar on these episodes was in the last episode of the disc. Which was the second appearance of Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother). All the episode on this disc were very good. I really got into the storyline of all three episodes. The first episode... Committed... on this disc was pretty disturbing. And because of that... it has to be my favorite episode on this disc.My Rating:

I think they was the best episodes I have seen so far. I think I may try to get season 6 when I get paid tomorrow. Until then I will have to watch CSI: NY for my CSI fix. I don't think NY is as good of a series... but I still enjoy it. :)

Grave Danger was directed by Quentin Tarantino... I saw about half of it (second half) and wouldn't mind buying it, if it was available stand-alone.

For another £0.40 or so you may as well get the half season set though and get an extra 10 episodes:

While I still prefer the original CSI... I am really starting to get used to the characters and into the stories on this show. It has definitely grown on me. All the episodes on this set has been constantly good. If I was to pick a favorite on this disc... I would have to say the first episode.. but pretty much enjoyed them all about the same.As for guest stars that I am familiar with on these episodes... in Hush we have Ted Raimi (Joxer on Xena: The Warrior Princess). He was the only one I recognized in these episodes.My Rating:

He also directed an ER. Mother's Day I think it was called.

I am fairly new to the CSIs... So no haven't gotten any of the seasons of Miami as of yet. Not sure if I will or not though... I always very much so disliked David Caruso... I don't remember ever liking him in anything I have seen him it. But if the series is really good... I could look past him.
Looking at Amazon I see that the first season is only $13 and change... may give it a chance... not sure yet. I will be placing an order tomorrow anyway. Will see how I feel about it in the morning. :P
I went to Amazon again... trying to pick out some titles for tomorrow's order. And would you believe the price for CSI: Miami: Season 1 already went up in price from $13 to up over $20.... probably won't get it tomorrow.

Well... what do you know... I finally finished the first season of CSI: NY! I enjoyed it quite a bit. More then I thought I would at the beginning of the series... but it grew on me pretty good. There really wasn't any guest stars in these episodes that I am familiar with. But all were good... solid stories. I think this time my favorite episode would have to be On the Job... really good story. While watching this set Vanessa Ferlito (Playing Aiden Burn) became my favorite on the show. After watching this set I looked ahead to the season two set to see what I had to look forward to... and what do I see? She left the series in season 2! she is only in a total of 3 episodes the entire second season! That bums me out a bit. I should have seen it coming... as her part in the episodes got smaller and smaller towards the end of the season.

I got Volume 2 of The Addams Family back in June of 2007.... and I finally just now got around to finishing the first disc in the set. I always enjoyed this show... it is a fun classic sitcom. This disc has a lot of good episodes on it. But if I had to pick one as a favorite... and that would be hard to do... I guess I would have to go with Morticia's Favorite Charity. Of course My Son, the Chimp is a fun episode as well.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is a DVD I got some time ago in a box of free DVDs. It is a homemade disc someone made with 4 episodes of the old kid show. It took me quite a while to get all episodes on the disc watch. Mainly because some shows from my childhood has held up fine... but others are a bit more difficult to watch as an adult. Unfortunately I found that this one is one of the shows that just don't hold up... just not the same watching with adult eyes. Even with that being the case... this show still has some nostalgic value since it is a show I used to watch as a young kid back in the mid '70s.I tried to get my daughter to watch this show with me. She watched one episode when I first got it. But that was as much as she would do... I had to watch the majority of the disc by myself. But I still get a kick out of her reaction to some of the shows we used to watch when we were kids.

Before watching this DVD the only game show listed above that I was familiar with was I've Got A Secret... which I always enjoyed when I caught it on. What Are the Odds didn't even seem to be a game show. More like a host giving a talk on the stats of different things. Next up was the $64,000 Challenge... this one I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked that the episode on this disc had Vincent Price playing in the art category. Finally the last episode on this disc is the show Dollar a Second. This show was a real trip. I literally laughed out loud more then once. The Host (Jan Murray) was hilarious. While I doubt it... I will have to check Game Show Network schedule to see if they ever air this show. Being a bargain DVD release the quality wasn't quite as good as I hoped... but it really wasn't too bad either. The worst looking episode was I've Got A Secret. There was also a couple times the DVD completely froze for a few seconds as well. But over all... it was a fun disc to watch.My Rating:

I wanted to get a look at season 2 what with one character leaving and a couple more joining. I hated losing one of my favorite characters from season 1... but the additions made for a stronger series. So over all... at least so far... I am happy with the change. Only one episode had a guest star in it that I recognized. The last episode on the disc has Lori Petty in it. She was one of the main cast members on the TV Series Booker... the spin off series from 21 Jump Street. As for my favorite episode on this disc... would have to be Zoo York. It has a really good story... and a body mangled by a tiger. What more can you ask for? My Rating:

This is a TV Series that I never heard of before getting the Prime Time Crime boxset. Jorja Fox plays my favorite character on CSI... so I was glad to see she was a regular on this short lived series (which every episode is in this set). But I must say... I prefer her hair in CSI much better then in this show... in this one her hair is so puffed up and huge it really don't look right. There was no guest stars I recognized in the episodes on this disc. But I did find I definitely enjoyed this show. It is a shame that the series only lasted 1 season (18 episodes). As for my favorite episode on this disc... it would have to be That's My Sister, Pal where a medical scare gives us a look into Connie's (Jorja Fox) personal life.My Rating:

Some reasons the episodes on this disc didn't keep my interest as much as the previous episodes. Still worth watching mind you.. just not quite as good. There was only one guest star that I recognized in any of these episodes... which was David Caruso (who I could have done without seeing). There was a storyline that started in CSI: Miami and finished up on CSI: NY. As for my favorite episode on this disc... I guess I would have to go with Dancing with the Fishes... as that is the story that kept my interest the best.My Rating:

As much fun as I had with the first three seasons... I just couldn't wait to dive into season 4.

And I am also glad to see his old team is still there on the show in some form. Which made it easier to accept the new characters. There wasn't any guest stars in the episodes on this disc that I am really familiar with. And as for a favorite episode. I really thought all these episodes were excellent... but I guess I would pick 97 Seconds.My Rating:

As you probably guessed... I'm really getting back into House with this set. I just can't stop watching it! And this was another disc filled with excellent episodes! As for the guest stars in these episodes... in the first episode there is Tom Wilson who I know from Back to the Future as well as many episodes of Ghost Whisperer. And then in the episode Games there was Jeremy Renner who starred in the short lived TV Series The Unusuals.Once again it is very hard for me to pick a favorite episode. I mean I really loved every episode on this disc. But if I must force myself to pick one I would have to go with It's a Wonderful Lie... the Christmas episode. It has an excellent storyline. And I must admit I got a kick out of how House handled Christmas with his new team.
I normally like to switch around on my shows once I complete a disc. But I am enjoying this series too much! I must go ahead and watch the next disc in this set!

Season 4 has been my favorite season yet! It is a shame... it is also the shortest season of the series so far.,,, thanks to the 2007 writers strike.

My Thoughts:
Another disc down... and this season continues to amaze me! This has surprisingly been my favorite season to so far. Oddly there was no guest stars that I recognized in any of the episodes on this disc. And I really don't know that I could pick a favorite episode on the disc either. They were all just excellent. But I guess I would say it would be a toss up between Frozen as I liked how they had no choice but to diagnose from a webcam connection... and the episode Living the Dream which I found entertaining even if they did go to an obvious storyline. I mean it has shown House watching that soap opera since season 1. You just knew they would eventually have to do a show where he has to treat one of the stars. It seems hard for me to believe... up to the fourth season and the series seems to be getting better. Usually by now series start to go downhill.Now I am off to watch the 2 part season finale!

After watching this two part season finale all I can say is WOW! What a great.... powerful story.I was drawn in from the very first moment to the last. After completing this set I can now say... without any doubt... that this fourth season has been my favorite of the series so far. They changed a lot of things in this season.... and it is like it breathed new life into the show. Making it even better then it ever was.Now I have to see if I can control myself and not rush straight into season five. I somehow doubt it. :P

I couldn't wait to start the fifth season. Going by this first disc... it isn't quite as good as the 4th season. But still definitely very good. I enjoyed all the episodes... but must say that Lucky Thirteen is my favorite episodes on the disc. Has a really good story... and seeing "Thirteen" (Olivia Wilde) getting a bit physical with another woman didn't hurt much either! None of the guest stars (in any of these episodes) stuck out to me... no one I am familiar with this time around.Thankfully this season hasn't hooked me quite as much as last season... so maybe I can make this set last me a little while at least. Unlike season 4 which I watched straight through none-stop.

This is a series I enjoyed on a couple years back on it's original run. This one isn't quite as good as the other medical drama I am currently watching (House, M.D.)... but I am enjoying watching this one again. One of the main nurses in this series is played by Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) which is my favorite character on the show. I didn't recognize any of the guest stars in any of the episodes on this disc. Not really sure about a favorite episode on this disc either.... but I did enjoy the last episode quite a bit. After watching all the episodes I watched the gag reel that is on this disc. That is normally one of my favorite extras on DVD releases... but this one is really pretty average.My Rating:

Another disc full of good episodes. While this season still hasn't been as good as the previous season.... it is staying strong. There is a couple familiar faces in the episodes on this disc. First in Last Resort is Sarah Thompson who played Eve in the fifth season of Angel. Then in the episode Let Them Eat Cake we have Lori Petty who I know from the short lived series Booker as well as a handful of movies. As for my favorite episodes on the disc... I have to go with Last Resort. Not only a good storyline in it's own right... it advances the Cuddy/House side story nicely.My Rating:

This is a series from my childhood. One I haven't seen since it was originally on... when I was only eight years old. These old series has always been a gamble for me. You never know what show will hold up and end up being a lot of nostalgic fun... or what is totally unwatchable in your adult years. Thankfully this one is fun nostalgia. Sure it is on the silly side and the special effects are next to nothing... but you need to remember this was a '70s Saturday Morning kids show.My Rating:

I couldn't help but to watch another disc of this set. There is some really good episodes on this disc. The first two episodes we see Lori Petty again as a guest star. The first episode also has Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks). My favorite episode on this disc has to be The Greater Good... which just happens to be the 100th episode of the series. After watching all the episodes on this disc I watched the featurette which is also on the 100th episode. While I knew that Hugh Laurie is British... I never realized that he has such a thick accent in his normal voice. He does a fine job at dropping the accent for the part.My Rating:

This morning I watched all eleven episodes of this season of Scrubs. Unfortunately this is a very short season. But it is from 2007... which was the year of the writer's strike. So I guess that is pretty understandable. While the series may not be as good as it was in the first few seasons... I still enjoy it very much. Still never fails to give me a chuckle or two.My Rating:

Continuing my obsession with this how. The episodes on this disc really stepped it up a bit. Especially the last episodes where they hit us with something big we... well at least I didn't see coming. There was only one guest star in these episodes that I am familiar with. In the episode Locked In we have John Kapelos who played Detective Schanke on Forever Knight. And because of what I said earlier... my favorite episode on this disc has to be Simple Explanation. When a show surprises me anymore... it leaves a lasting impression.My Rating:

This last disc of the set... and unfortunately the last disc I have in my collection for now... is excellent. I loved every episode on this disc! There is a couple guest stars in episodes on this disc that I am familiar with. The first being Clare Carey who played Sarah Parker on the short lived series Point Pleasant. Then in another episode there was Carl Reiner who of course played Alan Brady on The Dick Van Dyke Show. As for my favorite episode on this disc... I would have to go with the season finale... Both Sides Now... it is a very entertaining episode that kept you guessing through-out... and definitely left me with wanting to see more! I so need to try to get season 6 when I can place an order again!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is my first taste of Blade: The Series. The first thing I will say is I don't know why the packaging wrote up the pilot plots as 2 separate episodes... as it actually plays out like a single movie-length episode. But that is really of no matter... I was just expecting two separate episodes going by the packaging. I got to say it is a great start to the series... I loved every minute of it. Which means knowing it only lasted one short season has me disappointed. The only thing that I did have a bit of a problem with is the person they have playing Blade. No I didn't dislike him.... more like I haven't decided how I feel about him yet. It could just be that I am so used to Wesley Snipes in the role... but it seemed odd to me seeing someone else in the role. Though I am sure I will probably get used to him. Anyway... at this point I really can't wait to watch more of this series! I have a feeling I may just fly through this set!My Rating:

This is a show I never seen before.... but heard a lot of great things about. Maybe I was expecting too much... but as I watched the first couple episodes I really wasn't all that impressed. Not that it was bad... but just felt kinda average... maybe even slightly below average. But as I continued on through the disc the show started to grow on me. Before I knew it I was starting to really enjoy it. So in my eyes this show is a bit of a slow starter... but sticking with it as it seems to have the potential to be a very good series. I have the first four seasons in my collection that was given to me... so I have plenty to give it a chance to see if I want to continue the series or not. At this point if it continues the way it is going I will be.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished the second disc of the set. I am already getting used to seeing someone else as Blade. I still prefer Wesley Snipes in the role... but this guy is doing good in the role as well. I am really getting hooked on the story... enjoying every second of it. while watching these episodes I was surprised to clearly see some nudity in each of the episodes... something you just don't see on basic cable in the US. That is when I noticed the box says Unrated and Never-Before-Seen footage Too Graphic for TV. This is the first time I ever seen this. They must have originally done this series with an Unrated version of the DVDs in mind from the very beginning. My favorite episode on this disc has to be Bloodlines where you hear a bit more about Blade's past... from before Whistler finding him... telling us where his tattoos came from.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This disc completes the first season. I can't remember if I mentioned this when I reviewed the first disc... but one thing I absolutely can't stand about this show is the opening credits. I so hope they see the error of their way and change the opening before too long! Preferably for season 2! As for the show itself... I am finding it entertaining. I would say it is a good show. Though it isn't what I would call a favorite. I did like the deaf girl who was her son's girlfriend. But while she is still talked about she isn't seen on screen much... especially within the last few episodes. So I imagine they are dropping her.... or will be before too long. There wasn't any guest stars on this disc that I recognized. As for my favorite episode on this disc... I guess I would have to go with the season finale.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying this series a lot! I am still not seeing any guest stars I am familiar with. But I am liking how they made this set an Unrated version. And in the case of this show... that is not in name only. knowing this show was on basic cable... I can see quite a bit added to most of these episodes making it worth the Unrated tag. My favorite episode on this disc is Sacrifice... I really enjoyed the story... it showing Blade as a kid... when the thirst was really starting to hit him and his father not being able to handle it as good as he hoped. It also gives us a peek at a rather young Whistler.My Rating:

Lately I have had the urge to watching this show again. And with today (July 18) being Kristen Bell's birthday... I figured what better time. And that I may as well go with the beginning of the series. I still love this show as much as I did when it originally aired. If you never seen this show before... I highly recommend it!My Rating:

I am enjoying finally getting to watch this series again... I can't say it is as good as I remember it being... but it is more then worth watching. It does seem a little strange that with this type of show the episodes were only half hour. About 23 minutes each without the commercials. At least the pilot is movie length... giving plenty of time to set up the storyline. My favorite episode on this disc has to be The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. The kid in that episode... obsessed with anything monsters related... reminds me so much of me at that age! My Rating:

After watching the first half of season 2... my feelings on the show pretty much remain the same. I am enjoying it... it is a good show... but not one I would call a favorite. At this point they still have that aggravating opening credits. Hopefully it will be changed eventually. This isn't really a laugh out loud type of comedy... but the some of the episodes did give me a chuckle or two.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I recently got my greedy little hands on a group of unaired pilots. Some of which went on to be rather popular shows... others which never made it on air at all. So I slapped these episodes onto a DVD and watched them this morning.Global Frequency
This show has an interesting premise. I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. It is a shame the studios didn't pick this one up... it really looked like it had some potential. Sure it could have used a little polishing... but unfortunately it wasn't even given a chance.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This one they basically show a shortened and slightly different version of the aired pilot episode. I just did not care for the actress playing Willow here. Alyson Hannigan is much better. Other then that... a fun way to waste half ah hour.
Charmed
Another one that we see a shortened version of the pilot. This time they change 2 of the cast members. They have Lori Rom as Phoebe and Chris Boyd as Andy. Chris Boyd was fine in the role... I would have accepted him just fine. Lori Rom was ok... and I would have been ok with her... but she is no Alyssa Milano.
The Big Bang Theory
This is the first one I watched on the disc... as I love the show so much I had to see what it was like. There was many big differences between this original version compared to what we ended up with...
1. No Howard , Rajesh and Penny
I didn't mind the absence of Howard and Rajesh... but I definitely missed Penny. I liked her so much better then Kate.
2. Sheldon is not asexual and has a fetish for women with big butts.
This was definitely funny... but I think over all they made the correct change to his character.
3. Sheldon doesn't have a spot in his home rather a table at the Boombay Palace.
Him explaining his logic of table picks to Katie was ok... gave me a little chuckle... but it is much funnier with it being a place to sit in his apartment.
With all this said I really enjoyed watching this unaired pilot... but I think they made all right choices on what to change to get it on the air. The actual show is of course even better then what we see here.
The Robinsons
I used to enjoy the old series Lost in Space... though I wouldn't say it was a favorite. Watching this attempt at a remake... I felt was enjoyable enough to continue watching at least for a while... but based on this episode alone I wouldn't have been surprised if it didn't last long at all.

The second half of this season the show really picked up for me quite a bit. I am getting more invested in the storyline. I got a kick out of the character Zooey Deschanel played in the last few episodes. The way this season ended I can't wait to see what happens next. So once I am done with this post I will be starting season 3. There seems like there is some pretty big changes getting ready to be made here.My Rating:

After such a good second half of season two I am surprised to say that this first disc of season 3 didn't impress me all that much. It actually went downhill a little for me. I think the main reason for this is that I really don't like the U-Turn character and main storyline of this season.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I haven't watched this since it originally aired. I been wanting to watch it again for a while now.... but stupid me accidentally deleted my recording. Luckily a friend of mine had his recording and made me a copy. And I am so thrilled he did... because when I watched my recording there seemed to be a section missing like my recording had an error or something. The last time I saw this... it showed Lois and Clark going to the alter during their wedding... cutting to commercial. When it came back to commercial it showed Clark and Oliver fighting in the empty chapel. It always felt that there was a chunk missing there. Which could be the reason I deleted my recording.When I watch the recording I got off my friend... sure enough there was an entire section of the wedding ceremony there that I missed the first time. So today I finally got to see the entire episode for the very first time... making much more sense now. And I got to say... I loved every minute of it. I mean... sure it isn't perfect... it definitely reused some ideas from past seasons... as well as reusing an idea or two from the final season... but over-all I felt it was a great way to send off a good series. Most importantly It was just time to end the series. Actually I would even say past the time. And I am thankful they were able to give the series a decent closing. Plenty of entertainment value for the fans of Smallville. Now I almost feel like starting over again with season 1.

My Thoughts:
I am so thrilled I got the chance to see this. After looking forward to a new series and then the studios canceling the series before it even started was a real disappointment for me. After watching it I remain disappointed. I could have seen myself really getting into this series. Though it definitely needed some tweaking. First of all I found that they made Wonder Woman too dark. She did what she had to do to get what she believed to be justice. This included not only putting people in the hospital... but as far as murder. Though she only killed those that was trying to kill her... it still don't seem right for the character. Then there is the way she uses her magic lasso... she used it on several occasions in this pilot... and every time she snagged the person around the neck with it. It is definitely gone a step too far in that matter. Next we have her identity. While she still only has 2 identities literally... it feel like three. We have Wonder Woman... who is also known to the public world as Diana Themyscira who runs a big business that supports her going out to fight crime. Then finally there is Diana Prince... which is no more then a persona she uses to let her get away from things. Going to a small home elsewhere to be by herself (other then her cat Sylvester)... and that is all Diana Prince is in this series.
Now I want to talk a little about the costume. We have debated what version of the costume we liked better... and that debate was all for nothing. Why? Because all the versions exist in this series! Yes she has more then one costume... which she wears depending nothing more then on her mood. So it is not like in the classic Lynda Carter Wonder Woman where there was one for everyday use, One for motorcycle riding and one for swimming. She just grabs whatever costume she is in the mood to wear. And yes... this includes the classic look with the short shorts!
Jet... Yes!... Invisible... No! We do see Wonder Woman flying around in her little jet. But this jet is not invisible. I don't know... possibly their plan was to give the jet a cloaking ability so that it could appear invisible in future episodes... but this is something we will never know. Also the jet is really very small. Almost pod-like only big enough for her alone to fly in.
What did I think of Adrianne Palicki in the title role? I liked her much better then I did in the promo photos we saw of her. While I would have still liked to seen someone else... someone like Eliza Dushku in the role... I could have enjoyed watching her Adrianne Palicki in the role with no problem at all. I really liked who they chose to play Steve Trevor. The got Justin Bruening to play him. He is the guy that played Michael Knight in the reboot of the Knight Rider series.
The story itself was interesting... definitely kept my attention. Wonder Woman is going after Veronica Cale, a Lex Luthor like character, who is putting out a dangerous steroids type drug to some ghetto sports kids which is killing the kids. She is trying to create a formula to make super-soldiers. I found to be entertaining but definitely in the need of some polishing. Over-all a good attempt at a new series... but watching this I can see why they refused the pilot. I just wish they would have polished it up... change a few things... then maybe they would have something they could have aired.

At first I thought I would have a problem with her roughness. But I have to admit a kinda liked it that she didn't restrain herself beating the crap out of the bad guys. But I am guessing the brutality of the pilot was one of the main reason that it was not picked up. Though I would have definitely followed this series.
Regarding the costume changes (I have to admit I wouldn't really have noticed it): It could very well be that after the negative reaction to the promo shots they changed up the costume and used a different one for scenes which haven't yet been shot at the time of the promo shots.

Lately I been in the mood to watch this series again. So last night I decided to go ahead and watch the pilot episode since yesterday was Dean Cain's birthday. This was always a favorite series for me and my wife when it originally aired. It was one of the shows we never missed. I always thought they did a good job with this series.. bringing a different kind of Superman show... concentrating more on Lois and Clark then being pretty much all about Superman. Superman is more what Clark can do then who he is.The pilot episode was a great start for the series.I like how they handled everything... and still get a kick out of the montage of costumes that his mother went through to get the Superman costume just right. Some of the costumes they came up for him was pretty funny... but there was actually one or two that I kinda liked. Of course not as much as the real costume... but cool for some newly made up superhero.
In the second episode I really liked how they handled Clark finding out where he is from. It was only a short piece of the story... but it was done well.
I really enjoyed watching this first disc again. And want to continue watching. So I will be putting disc 2 in next while I am still in the mood. How much of the series I will watch... I am not sure yet. Stop and the next disc? finish season 1? Watch all 4 seasons? All depends how the mood lasts.

My Thoughts:
Over the last couple days I ended up watching the entire first season set. Really enjoyed watching this set again. I actually forgot how much I enjoyed this series. I really like the entire cast on this show. Well except for Tracy Scoggins... but not because of her... I just never liked the character she played. Apparently I wasn't alone in these feelings as her character disappeared after the first season. Now I am trying to decide if I want to continue and watch season two... or move on to a different show.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished the second season. And still can't seem to stop watching! I am so enjoying revisiting this series. This is a very good season... with lots of familiar faces. Here is some of the guest stars in this season...
- Bronson Pinchot
- Peter Boyle
- Denise Crosby
- Cindy Williams
- Denise Richards
- Isobel Sanford
- Sherman Helmsly
- Raquel Welch
- Robert Culp
- John Kapelos
- Bruce Campbell
- Martin Mull
- Ben Stein
- Frank Gorshin
- Adam West
So... Like I said this season has a lot of familiar faces. This season also has the first episode with H.G. Wells and Tempus. Those are definitely among the best episodes. Now off to start watching season 3! I can't believe how hooked I got on this series again!

My Thoughts:
I just finished this season. While I still enjoyed it quite a bit. This is actually my least favorite season of the series. It got a bit tiresome how they kept Lois and Clark apart. And I really didn't care for the whole frogs/clone storyline. That said... it did end on a high note. One that set up the fourth season really nicely. Once again there are many guest stars that I recognized this season. In the third season there was Peter Boyle, Bruce Campbell, Patrick Labyorteaux, Jonathan Frakes, Dave Coulier, James Read, Fred Willard, Brad Garrett, Tony Curtis and Justine Bateman.When I first started to re-watch this series I was actually only planning on watching the pilot episode... or at the most the first disc of the first set. I got so into this series again that I have now completed the third season... and I still don't feel like I want to stop... so about to start the fourth (and final) season!

My Thoughts:
Well... I did it! I watched all four seasons! Which is odd since when I started I didn't think I was going to watch much more then the pilot episode. This season I enjoyed just as much as the first two seasons. Season three was the only season to go down in my eyes. Mainly because of how hard they worked to keep Lois and Clark apart the entire season. This final season once again has a nice selection of guest stars... this time including Justine Bateman, David Doyle, Delta Burke, Jasmine Guy, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Drew Carey, Kathy Kinney, Howie Mandel, Tom Wilson, Nancy Dussault, Fred Willard, Tim Thomerson, Grant Shaud and Harry Anderson.I am disappointed on how this season ended. It is fine for a season finale.... but disappointing as a series finale. As it set itself up for a fifth season. Of course they thought there would be a fifth season anyway. But still disappointing to see it end this way and not get any more episodes.

My Thoughts:
This is a show that I remembered enjoying a lot back when it originally aired 17 years ago. So I been looking forward to seeing it again every since I found this set on sale so cheap ($5.99 New). I was a bit concerned that it wouldn't hold up for me... but after watching this first disc I found I still enjoy it very much. There is a lot of good laughs in this show. Besides Margaret herself... my favorite character on here has to be Grandma. I could easily fly through this set. I can't wait to pop in the next disc.My Rating:

I just finished off the first disc of this set today. It is a real blast from the past for me. I watched all the different Super Friends series when I was a kid. While this particular series was my least favorite out of them all... I still enjoyed seeing it again. You don't really get to see the classic villains in this show. This one is more on teaching kids morals and other valuable lessons. Each episode consists of 4 short stories. Usually... if not always... having one short story with just The Wonder Twins. And one story where one of the members of the Super Friends teams up with a guest super hero for the episode. As I said... this one is really far from the best incarnation of the Super Friends... and is my least favorite. So I would say to leave this one alone unless like me there is nostalgic reasons. And of course for me... just the fact that it is the Super Friends is a plus. I just can only watch a couple episodes at a time with this one.My Rating:

I am now about half way through this series. And I am still enjoying it quite a bit. I had a few good chuckles watching this disc. I liked all the episodes on this disc... but if I had to pick a favorite... I would probably go with Take My Family, Please because Margaret Cho does some of her stand up routine at the karaoke bar.My Rating:

I don't know how into it I will get... but hopefully it won't be like Lois & Clark where I had to watch the entire series again... because with owning 9 seasons that would definitely take a while.
I shouldn't be surprised... but I couldn't get over how different the cast looked back then. Of course 10 years has gone by now. It was also good to seem some of the characters we haven't seen in a while... like Pete, Lana, Martha & Johnathan Kent.... even though I never liked him too much... even Whitley.
Anyway... about to go grab me some breakfast and pop in disc 2.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching every episode of the first season. Yes it looks like I got hooked on another one of my old favorites again. I don't know if I will watch every episode I own or not at this point... but if I do it will take me a bit... as I own 9 seasons! But I do know I am ready to start season two. Especially with such a great cliffhanger that season one left off on. It has been a while since I watched these early episodes. It almost seemed weird seeing these characters so young again. But I guess that is to be expected when it comes to a series that lasted 10 seasons! Anyway... I really enjoyed every minute of re-watching the first season... and can't wait to pop in the first disc to season 2!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Can you believe it? I actually finished off the entire second season of Smallville in only a day and a half! This season starts the season long story arcs... where season 1 was really nothing more then "freak of the week" type episodes. I enjoy it both... but I am glad to get into the season long storylines now. I really enjoyed every minute of watching the season again... especially seeing Christopher Reeve in one of the episodes. In the early seasons we get to see Clark develop his powers. In season 1 we got to see him get his X-Ray Vision. In season 2 we got to see him get his Heat Vision. So I guess that leaves Super Hearing for season 3.I am still very much into watching more of the series. So looks like I am about to pop in the first disc of the 3rd season.

IMO, this is the point where the show gets really good. Lois Lane brings a refreshing dose of energy to the show, and they finally move Lana to the back burner more and more. Gets only better from here on out! See you at the end of Season 9! :P :laugh:

My Thoughts:
I have now finished season 4! And yes... I am still enjoying re-watching this series very much. Yes... I am indeed hooked again! This season introduced 2 new characters. The first being Lois Lane played by Erica Durance. During it's original run I thought it was too soon to introduce this character. I mean after all... she wasn't supposed to show up until After Clark became Superman. But her being there grew on me quickly. She ended up being one of my favorite characters of the series! She definitely added something to the series. The other new character was Jason Teague played by Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) This character I hated from his very first appearance. There was something about him I just didn't like. Thankfully he is only in the one season. I do however think Jensen Ackles is fantastic on Supernatural. This is also the last season of Clark and the gang in high school.Now bring on Season Five!!!

I finished off the 5th season last night. Another very good season. In this season we have two guest superheroes showing up. First there is Auquaman and then there is Cyborg. This season we also get the first holiday themed episodes. While it don't come out and say it... there is a Halloween episode in Thirst with a vampire sorority. And then there is also Lexmas for a Christmas episode. This is also the season we say goodbye to John Schneider as Jonathan Kent.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Finished this season earlier this morning. Another great season... enjoyed it just as much as the previous seasons. While there are episodes I like more then others... when looked at as a whole season by season it remains great entertainment through-out the series. My favorite episode of this season would have to be Justice where we get 4 superheroes besides Clark... being the starts of the Justice League. In that one episode we get to see Clark, Green Arrow, The Flash (code name Impulse in this episode), Cyborg and Aquaman. So I had a lot of fun watching that episode again.As for special (familiar) guest stars this season... There was a couple. First there was Tori Spelling who played the part of a gossip reporter who had a way of getting to the truth. And then there was Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) who played Chloe's mother.

While I still enjoyed this season very much over-all... it has my least favorite storyline of the entire series. That being the Veritas storyline. The episodes dealing with Veritas just didn't hold my interest as much as any of the other episodes. This season does introduce Kara/Supergirl. As for guest stars I am familiar with for this season. There was Dean Cain who played Clark Kent/Superman himself in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. James Marsters returns in several episodes as Brainiac. This season we also see the long gone Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) back for a single episode. Gina Holden (Blood Ties) shows up for a single episode as well. The seventh season aired in 2007. Which is the year of the writer's strike. But we seemed to get lucky for this series... and didn't lose out on too many episodes this time. As this season still has 20 episodes. So I am thankful for that.

:headscratch: How lucky was it really? Or is least favorite still that good? :tease:
There is an episode about Bizarro? That was one of my favorite villains when I read the comics in the 70s, even though I never really knew where he came from. it is pretty much the only one I remember from those days, besides Lex of course.

Yup... Bizzaro is in more then one episode. Though they did put their own spin on it. Changed the origin and such. But that don't matter since you said you never knew where he came from anyway. :P

My Thoughts:
This morning I have finished the 8th season of the series. This season I enjoyed a lot. I enjoyed how they did Doomsday in it. This season adds the character Tess Mercer. She is one that I can't say I really liked... but I didn't dislike her either. Pretty much a feeling of indifference. Since I just watched Season 9 of this show the first week of this month (what prompted me to watch the series from the start again)... I really don't feel the need to watch it again now. But I have officially watched 9 seasons of Smallville in only one month!

I just completed disc 3 (of 4) of the Complete Series set. Still enjoying the series. As I said before... this is a show I haven't seen since it originally aired. It is a little difficult to pick a favorite episode on this disc. But if I had to... I guess I would go with The Apartment.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I ever seen an episode of The Office. What is my first impression of the series. Not bad... but it really didn't impress me all that much. I found it to be a little on the stupid side. But there was some laughs in it for me as well. Of course, I realize that what with it having only 6 episodes in the first season... it really didn't have the chance to hit it's stride yet. And I did hear it got better in the second season. My favorite character in the series so far would have to be the receptionist... Pam. The nice girl with a jerk of a boyfriend. Anyway... like I said... the show really didn't impress me too much going by this first season. I would say it is somewhere between an average and good series.My Rating:

Most shows in the UK, especially comedy are only 6 episodes and most are just a couple of seasons long. Personally I prefer this as it usually results in far higher quality instead of dragging things out or stretching jokes over 24 episodes. Probably why there are so few US comedy shows that agree with me tbh. Have you seen the original UK show? Only 12 episodes over two series with some specials. Will always be remembered as a classic instead of people saying "it lost it's way in the 140th episode in season 7".

Usually I would agree, but I love the US version of the Office. It may have it up and downs, but I really like the characters (which found their footing in the second season). I first saw the original Office and really liked it, but I have to admit, that the US version grew on me. I have the feeling, that Pete would enjoy further seasons of the US version more than the original.

I have heard, that the seventh season is his last. And I am currently watching it. It just has been released on DVD. I haven't seen it before. I don't know yet if he leaves during the season or at the end (I avoided spoilers). If it's the end, then there isn't yet an episode without him, as the eighth season hasn't started yet, I think.

This is a series I loved when it originally aired. Feels so good to finally be able to watch these episodes again. Eliza Dushku is wonderful as usual. The episodes are all very entertaining. I have always found the plot for this series to be interesting. while I enjoyed every episode on this disc. If I had to pick a favorite.... it would have to be The Target... excellent episode! I swear... it makes me so mad!... why does Fox always cancel the series I like the most! :thumbdown: And this is the second time they did it with an Eliza Dushku series! :thumbdown:My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is a series I enjoyed a lot when it originally aired this past season. Unfortunately I must have been one of the few... as it was canceled after only 13 episodes. The story of doctors going to a South American rain forest to work at a clinic. One of the main stars of the series was Caroline Dhavernas who many of us will remember from another short lived series Wonderfalls. I found I enjoy this show just as much the second time watching it as I did the first. The series has good stories and cool medical cases that they work on in each episode.There was a few familiar faces guest starring in some of the episodes on this disc. The first being in the pilot episode. That being Michael McKeon who was Lenny on Laverne & Shirley and more recently Perry White on a couple episodes of Smallville. Next there was Cheech Marin (Cheech & Chong) playing a Jungle Doctor (witch doctor?) here. Then finally we got Ed Begley, Jr. playing a traveling dentist in the 4th episodes. As for my favorite episode on this disc... I will have to go with the pilot episode. It is a good introduction to the characters.My Rating:

Still enjoying re-watching this series very much! Each and every episode had me glued to my seat once again. Something I meant to mention when reviewing the first disc but forgot. I been watching the running times of all the episodes. Now a day these hour long shows last about 44min. without the commercials. So I found it rather surprising that every episode in this set so far has run for right around 50min. each. Pleasantly surprised of course! With so many very good episodes on one disc it is really hard to pick a favorite episode. But thinking back to what I have just watched... I guess I will have to go with the episode True Believer. I liked how they made her blind in this episode... so they could do some sort of cameras that made whatever she was looking at be transmitted for them to watch. Plus it of course has a good story.My Rating:

OK... I admit it... I am hooked on this series again. This disc finishes off the season long arc. As this disc takes us to the season finale. The only thing I have left to watch is the two unaired episodes. Which will really be fun seeing episodes I never seen before. While I really enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... it is easy for me to pick a favorite this time. That would be Omega... the season finale. mainly because I liked how they tied everything together. As well as giving us a look into things from before the pilot episode. Explaining a lot.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
On this final disc of the first season set we get 2 unaired episodes. One being the original version of the pilot episode. I am not really sure why the other episode never aired. But I liked it a lot. It was a very interesting place to go... jumping ten years into the future... seeing that the Dollhouse basically brought on Armageddon. The unaired pilot was good as well. Though there was some scenes that looked familiar. Some clips from the original pilot was later used in other episodes.Anyway... I really enjoyed watching this season set. Now I can only hope I will get the second season before too long... so I can complete my collection.

This disc finishes off the set. I still enjoyed the show very much. The last episode was a reboot of the series... completely different from what the series was.... where they were hoping to start over in the second season. But it wasn't picked up. While it was enough that I would still watch it...I am not surprised it wasn't picked up... it just wasn't as good as the original format. This disc has several guest stars I am familiar with. One episode has Oprah Winfrey and Jack Black in it. Nest we had Quentin Tarantino in another episode. Then in the final episode there was Diedrich Badder and Vicki Lawrence. As for picking a favorite episode on this disc... I guess I would have to go with Pulp Sitcom... I just found that to be a fun episode.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I been waiting to add this show to my collection since it originally aired. It is one of my favorite—unfortunately short lived—TV series of all time. It stars the always lovely Julie Benz (Dexter) as the mother in a family that get superpowers after a plane crash into a body of water that had a strange florescent glow. She develops super-speed. The show also stars Michael Chiklis who plays her husband and gets super-strong and nearly invincible... much like his character in Fantastic 4 as The Thing. Their daughter (Kay Panabaker) develops the power to read minds... and their son (Jimmy Bennett) develops super-intellect. As I said... unfortunately this series was canceled after only the first season (20 episodes). Which is a real shame... especially with how the series ended. It does answer most all the questions asked in the first season. But it also sets up for a huge seconds season storyline. I found all the episodes on this disc to be just plain outstanding. I loved every second of watching these episodes again. I was actually a little surprised at just how much I got into watching these episodes again... on a second viewing. It is really difficult for me to pick a favorite episode on this disc since I did love them all so much. But I guess I would have to go with the pilot episode. It introduces the characters very well. It does a great job at drawing you into the story. While watching the episode it felt like it was over in like 10 or 15 minutes... instead of the actual 45min. While watching the episode I was shocked when it was over already!
But apparently not a lot of people agree with me on how good this series was... or it would still be on the air. All I know is it was a popular show in my house as pretty much everyone here watched it every week.

This is a good start to the second season. I enjoyed all the episodes quite a bit. After watching the episodes I went back and listened to the Commentary Track with Joss Whedon on the episode Vows. Which was alright... but I liked his commentaries on Buffy the Vampire Slayer better. Before watching this disc I had forgotten that Amy Acker's time in this series was very much limited. Which is a shame since I liked her every since first seeing her on Angel. My favorite episode on this disc? I guess I would have to go with Instinct. My Rating:

Hard to believe that I am already half way through this set! I am still enjoying all the episodes very much... though No Ordinary Mobster is my least favorite episode so far. It could have been better. As with the last disc... it is difficult to pick a favorite episode on this disc. I guess I would have to go with No Ordinary Visitors... as it was fun to see them deal with visiting parents (Stephanie's parents). It was fun watching them try to hide their powers from them... while at the same time use them to impress or get even with their parents at the same time... depending on the situation.My Rating:

Another disc full of great episodes! I am so enjoying revisiting this series! All the episodes are as entertaining as the first time I watched them. On this disc it was easy for me to pick a favorite. I have to say it was No Ordinary Detention... I just liked how they did an homage to the movie Die Hard.

My Thoughts:
I decided I wanted a little change of pace... so I popped in this sitcom. It is a show I never seen before... even though I have had it in my collection for just over two years now. It isn't a terribly bad sitcom... but it isn't as good as I was hoping either. One thing they do that I don't care for is through-out the story they will cut to a white screen with just one of the characters who then precedes to talk to the camera. I just don't like it much when they break up the story like that. It isn't too bad when they do it to show a flashback... but I don't like it when they do it just so one of the characters can talk to the camera. Towards the end of the disc I did enjoy it a little more then what I did in the beginning... so it is starting to grow on me a little. But I am not surprised the series was canceled after only 2 seasons... and only the first season was released on DVD.My Rating:

And with this disc I have re-watched the entire series. I loved watching all the episodes in this series just as much this time as I did when they originally aired. After watching the last episode I once again became very disappointed that the series wasn't renewed. While all the main questions season 1 asked was answered... it also did a great job at setting up season 2. And I would have really liked to see where they were going to go with it. Some of the episodes on this disc has a special guest star... Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess). As for my favorite episode on this disc... it isn't an easy choice... but I think I will have to go with No Ordinary Beginning... as it made an excellent season finale... as I said... answering most all the questions the season asked. Unfortunately it don't make as good of a series finale.My Rating:

This show continues to grow on me... but it is still not what I would call a favorite. While some of the inserts they do to talk to the camera is funny... I still don't like that they do them. I still feel it takes away from the flow of the storyline. But as I said... it is growing on me some. I find myself getting into the storyline and the characters more. One of the episodes (Three's Company) has a guest star I am familiar with. Jamie Luner (Just the Ten of Us) plays Vicky's old college friend that comes visit. Which I think I would say is also my favorite episode on this disc.My Rating:

Watched another disc of this great series yesterday. Once again... I enjoyed it very much. I know it has been a long time since this show was on TV... but I swear... I don't remember a few of these episodes... even slightly. I guess I may have missed a few episodes from the second season when it originally aired. Summer Glau returns for another episode on this disc. Going back into her xharacter's old relationship with Elixa Dushku's character in the episode Getting Closer... Which is also the episode I would have to pick for my favorite on this disc.My Rating:

I just finished off the last disc in this set. The show is still growing on me... as I enjoyed these episodes well enough. But I don't think this show will ever be among my favorites. However, it is good entertainment with some laugh out loud moments. Just not as many as I would expect. If the second (final) season was ever released... I would probably add it to my collection as long as I could get it for a decent price. I would say I would buy it if I could get if for between $15 and $20. At least now I can scratch this set off my unwatched list. My Rating:

Just finished watching the last disc in the set. It seems I missed the last several episodes when it originally aired. As I really don't remember anything on them what so ever. So it was good to finally see the complete series. I enjoyed where they went with the storyline. I especially enjoyed Epitaph 2: Return as it showed what happen after the end of the unaired season 1 episode. Which was great because it did end a bit open-ended.My Rating:

Yesterday evening I felt like watching a good sitcom. And it has been a good 3 years since I watched this series... so grabbed the first disc of the first season Before I knew it I had watched the entire season. Yup... looks like I got hooked watching a show once again. Even after seeing this show several times over... I still find myself literally laughing out loud many times through-out. This is definitely one of my all time favorite sitcoms. I don't know how far I will get into watching this series... but I am about to pop in the first disc of season 2 now. My Rating:

Last night I finished off Season 2 of Friends. Still enjoying re-watching it very much. Such a great sitcom... still laugh out loud whenever I watch it. This season has some pretty good recognizable guest stars. They include Max Wright (ALF), Catherine Bell (JAG), Arye Gross (Ellen), Michael McKeon (Laverne & Shirley), Audra Lindly (Three's Company), Peter Deluise (21 Jump Street) and Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men). now off to watch some of Season 3!My Rating:

I just finished the 3rd disc of season 4 of the Twilight Zone. I am still not used to the hour long format in this season. I have always read that this is the weakest season... and now that I am half way through the season I think it is safe to say that I agree... this is definitely the weakest season I have seen so far. The first two episodes on the disc—Jess-Belle and Miniature—didn't do a very good job at keeping my interest at all. But I enjoyed every minute of Printer's Devil with Burgess Meredith. It seems... at least up to this point any episode with Burgess Meredith ends up being a favorite of mine. Unfortunately this seems to be the last episode of Twilight Zone that he did.My Rating:

It was good going back and seeing who the series all started again. Not to mention seeing episodes with Andrea in them again. I really enjoyed every second of it.

At this point in the series the show is still more drama then anything.... though by the end of this season to beginning of second season they add more thriller into the storylines.My Rating:

This is a show I haven't seen since I was a little kid. I went into it not sure how well it would hold up. But I should have known better then to worry... after all it is Star Trek. And I enjoyed the show just as much today as I did in my childhood. I like the fact that it has the cast from The Original Series doing the voices for the animated series. If I had to pick a favorite episode on this disc... and it wouldn't be easy as I enjoyed them all... I would have to go with More Tribbles, More Troubles. I like the fact that it is a subject that we are already familiar with from The Original Series. I am so glad I got this collection in my collection. A big Thank You to the friend that sent it to me!

I just finished off Disc 3 of the first season set. Still really enjoying revisiting this series. Though the episodes on this disc isn't quite as good as the previous episodes... but they are close. Trying to pick a favorite episode on this disc is very hard as all the episodes here really are equally good. But I guess if pushed I would go with Undead Comic. And that is mostly because I always enjoyed stand up comedians. For the first time in this set I noticed a few guest stars I am familiar with. First on Voices is John M. Jackson (JAG),,, next on Shadow Boxer is Sonia Braga... and then on Undead Comic is Katey Sagal (Married with Children).My Rating:

This morning I finished off disc 4 of the first season set. I enjoyed every minute of these episodes. This is the 4th time I seen these episodes (including original airing) and I am still drawn into this show just as much as I was the very first time I watched them. Picking a favorite episodes on this disc is easy. While I enjoyed them all... I absolutely loved Melinda's First Ghost. Great story... liked going into Melinda's past to her childhood.My Rating:

This afternoon I felt like watching a classic sitcom... and Bewitched has always been one of my favorites. While the show is a bit before my time... I grew up watching the reruns on TV. Some reason you don't see this show on TV anymore (at least not that I know of in my area) so I am glad I have the first 4 seasons on DVD. Favorite episode on this disc is a toss-up between Samantha's Thanksgiving to Remember and Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here. I have always loved holiday episodes of TV Series. Any holiday though Halloween episodes has always been my favorite.My Rating:

This disc is filled with very good episodes. Enjoyed every one of them. So picking a favorite on this disc is awful hard. But if pressed I guess I would have to go with The Vanishing... while it is an obvious storyline to go with on such a show... I liked how they handled Melinda believing she lost her gift. The only episode on this disc that had a guest star that I am familiar with is Demon Child which has Lori Loughlin in it. Who I know from Full House. I usually like to rotate between shows after each disc... but in this case I think I will go straight to the next disc since it is the last in this season set... with only 2 more episodes.My Rating:

And this completes the first season. An excellent 2 part season finale. I loved every minute of it. Though I do admit that even the first time I watched this... during it's original airing... that I knew right away what the big surprise of the episodes were. I knew it right away... mid way through part one. But even knowing that ahead of time didn't make me enjoy the storyline any less. If you never seen this series... it is one I highly recommend!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
After watching Growing Up Brady the other day I got a strong urge to watch the episodes again. So the last few afternoons/evenings I been watching the first season. While... as I have said many times before... this show was never a favorite in my childhood... it really grew on me as an adult. I think it is a strong nostalgic type of thing. I originally bought the complete series set when my daughter showed interest in the show afters seeing a couple episodes on cable. But then of course kids being kids she never watched a single episode once I bought the set. This is my second time going through the set since buying it a few years back. And once again I am enjoying it more then I ever did as a kid.

My Thoughts:
A good friend of mine gave me all 3 seasons of this series this past December.... almost a year ago and I am finally getting around to watching it. I used to watch this show all the time when it originally aired. So it is good to see it again now. While I am enjoying it quite a bit... I remember it being funnier back then. There just don't seem to be as many laugh out loud moments like I remember there being. But all the same... still well worth the time needed to put into it. I am glad I have it in my collection. And looking forward to watching the next two seasons.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Just finished off the second season of Hearts Afire. They pretty much changed the entire series. Moved them away from Capital Hill... moving them to the small town John and Billy Bob grew up in. I found I am enjoying this new format a bit more then what they had for the first season. I was never much of a fan of the Senator character they all worked for in the first season. But I really enjoy the new characters of Madeline Stoessinger and Lonnie Garr. Definitely an improvement over the first season. Now I am looking forward to starting season 3.My Rating:

I just finished the 3rd (Final) season of this series. While I still enjoyed it... it has lost a little something.

I felt like starting another classic sitcom. And this is the first one to pop into my mind. Though I don't plan on going through this series quite as fast as I did the last couple... as there is other things I want to watch as well. So I am going to review a disc at a time as I watch them this time... instead of waiting to watch the entire season set. This is one show that lost nothing over the years. It is as funny today as it was way back when. It is really hard to pick a favorite episode on this disc... as they are all great. But if I was forced to... I would probably go with The Meershatz Pipe. As I found myself laughing at that episode quite a bit. But as I said.. all great episodes. This is a series you really can't go wrong with!My Rating:

Still enjoying watching these episodes again. The episodes on this disc is not quite as good as the ones on the first disc... but still top notch entertainment. I would say that my favorite episode on this disc would be between To Tell or Not to Tell and Sally Is a Girl though these episodes in particular makes you realize just how old the series is.

I finished this disc off yesterday. I enjoyed all these episodes very much. But that being so it was still easy picking a favorite episode on this disc. As one of my all-time favorite episodes is on this disc. That being The Curious Thing About Women... as I laugh out loud every time I see that episode. I was wanting to watch this show slower then the last couple shows I watched... but it don't seem like that is going to happen. I am just getting into it too much. Though I would still like to slow down a bit.Another thing I have enjoyed while watching this set. Is that this set has a Play All option. The last 2 shows I watched I had to go back to the menu in between each episode. This set I can just have the shows advance to the next episode automatically. Definitely a feature I like.

I just finished the next disc in the set. Unfortunately the most of the episodes on this disc I always considered either average or below average. Nothing really special compared to the rest of the series. But this did make picking out my favorite episode on the disc very easy. This time I have to say my favorite episode is definitely Where Did I Come From? It is the only episode on this disc to literally make me laugh out loud at any of it.My Rating:

And this completes the first season of The Dick Van Dyke Show. And it ends strong... which is especially good to see after how the last disc was less then satisfactory compared to the rest of the set. Picking a favorite episode on the disc is easy again. Though in this case I have to pick 2... as it is the two part episodes of I Am My Brother's Keeper and The Sleeping Brother. Which of course guest stars Dick Van Dyke's brother...

MOVIE / DVD INFO:
Title: The Net (1998)
Genre: Thriller
Rating: 15
Length: 15h56
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English / French / Spanish
Subtitles: Danish/Dutch/ English/ Finnish/French/Norwegian/Portuguese/Spanish/Swedish
Stars:
Brooke Langton
Joseph Bottoms
Mackenzie Gray
Jim Byrnes
Tim Curry
Plot:
On the run, Angela Bennett (Brooke Langton) is determined to stop her tormentors, the cyberterrorist network known as the Praetorians, from taking over the world. With her hacking skills, sexy charm, and the help of a mysterious Internet contact, the Sorcerer, Angela must keep one step ahead of the Praetorians and the Feds. But when she closes in on her criminal foes, will she be able to win her life back? Brace yourself for a chilling look at the dark, secretive world of cyber criminals, and the woman who will put everything on the line to stop them.
My Thoughts:
This serie was frustating to watch because of the protection Sony put on the disc, some disc worked on my computer some don't but everything was fine on my Blu-Ray reader. Since it isn't a disc review but a serie review enough with the disc complaint...This is the kind of serie who is painfull to watch because the setting change during the season, kind of like if the producer didn't know what to do with the serie (I guess the rating had a role in this too). The good part is the beginning as they follow more or less the premisses of the movie as Angela is on the run from an obscure organization and try to get back her identity with the help of a mysterious stranger called The Sorcerer (voice by Tim Curry). This part is serious and is mostly targetted for an adult audience (not in the sense I usually used). Here the interaction between Angela (Brooke Langton) and the organisation security (Joseph Bottoms) is great (we feel the danger that represent the organization) and make sense.
Sadly at the episode #10 the focus change when The Sorcerer visage is reveal... get ready for it... it's a fricking teenager. Yes the story is dumbed down from there... the serious episode turned into comedy, the organization become a caricature (in one of the stupidest episode they control a disc label...), too much focus on Eric Szmanda (yes he is the teenage Sorcerer), etc. Guess they wanted to target the 12 years old little girls.
The episode #19 is the best one of this phase as this is when the organization is beaten and Angela get her identity back. This one is full of action and intensity. Normally the serie would end there but no...
So a short third phase start for the three last episodes before they call it over. In this phase Angela works with the FBI tracking crime on the internet. Strangely my interest came back here as the shows were interesting and serious again (even if the connection with the movie isn't there anymore). Also this is when Bruce Abott is added to the cast.
So we got an half good serie, well acted or the most part (personally I think Brooke Langton was better in the role than Sandra Bullock in the movie), with a good story line (at least for ten episodes) and you can play the "I've seen this actor somewhere" game as the serie was filmed in Vancouver. But I can't say I'm surprised it was cancel after one season.

In honor of Katherine Heigl's birthday today (Nov. 24th) I just watched the entire first season of this series. Granted it is only nine episodes. I have always been a huge fan of medical dramas... and this is definitely one of my favorites. It has a good mixture of medical cases and stories on the doctor's personal lives. Definitely one I would recommend. Especially if you like a good medical drama. After watching this first season I have a strong urge to continue to watch through the rest of the six seasons that I own.My Rating:

I just finished watching season 2 of this series. As I said before... this is definitely one of my favorite medical dramas. This is the first full season of the series. As season 1 only had 9 episodes. And it pulled off a great season with ease. I especially enjoyed the couple of 2 part episodes that is in this season. Especially the one where they have to deal with an unexploded bomb inside of a patient. That is about as a suspenseful of an episode as you can get.My Rating:

Yesterday evening I completed the fourth season (and started season 5). This season is shorter by several episode. This is do to the writers strike in 2007. Nothing to do with the quality of the show. It is still one of my favorite medical dramas. Four seasons in... and I am still just as hooked on re-watching the series as I was on Thanksgiving Day when I started season one. I am just sad I only have up to season 6 to re-watch.My Rating:

I just finished watching season 5. An excellent season. Possibly my favorite season of the series so far. My favorite episodes in this set is the multi-part season finale. What a cliffhanger at the end. So much so that I couldn't wait to start season six!My Rating:

Just finished the 6th season. It is another excellent season. I enjoyed every second of watching. Even with such a great season.... it is extremely easy to pick a favorite episode. I have to go with the 2 part season finale where a guy that recently lost his wife comes in shooting up the hospital. Killing many... injuring many... including some regulars that has been on the show since the pilot episode. Excellent season of an excellent series!Can you believe it? I started this marathon on Thanksgiving day with season one... and in only 8 days I was able to watch 6 seasons!... that is 125 episodes!

After finding out I will be getting season 6 given to me here soon... I just couldn't help myself. I had to start watching this series. I need to remind myself of the characters and storylines before watching the new set when it gets here. The first time I watched this set I really didn't care much for the first several episodes... as I really didn't care much for the character of House. But once he grew on me I loved the show. I of course didn't have this problem this time around and ended up enjoying every minute of it.... right from the start. If you never got around to checking out this series... I highly recommend it!My Rating:

I just finished watching this set. It felt good to watch some episodes I never seen before... and I enjoyed every minute of it. I watched the entire season in only 3 days. And now I sit here wishing I had season 7 to watch! I think I would have to say my favorite episode of the season would have to be between Private Lives which guest starred Laura Preppon from That '70s Show and Black Hole. Though the season finale was fantastic as well.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Last night I finished off this set... and enjoyed every minute of it. I have been a fan of John Ritter every since first seeing him in Three's Company. And I been a fan of Kaley Cuoco for a bit now as well. I found this series to be a lot of fun... contains lots of laughs. It is a shame we lost John Ritter at the beginning of the second season. Despite that loss I want to add the second season to my collection... hopefully before too long so I can see how the show went on without him. This first season set has a surprising high number of episodes considering it isn't that old of a series. Favorite episode of this season? I guess I would have to go with Come and Knock On Our Door where they poke a little fun at Three's Company. Where John Ritter's character has a dream that both daughters are living with one guy... and he is in the place of Mr. Roper. It even looks like the same exact apartment from Three's Company. I thought it was a clever thing to do... was a lot of fun to watch. The only real extra on this set is a Blooper Reel. But if we were only going to get one extra on this set... I am glad we got this... as I had just as many laughs watching this short Blooper Reel as I did the entire season of the show. And that is saying a lot! The Blooper Reel made it look like they had a blast on the set working with John Ritter as it seemed he made the set a lot of fun to work on. If you never seen this series you should definitely give it a chance!My Rating:

Between last night and this morning I watched the first disc of this complete series set. This is a show I never got the chance to watch when it originally aired. It was canceled after only 13 episodes. But going by this first disc I have no idea why... as I am enjoying it very much. Here lately I have become a fan of Dana Delany... so it is good to find another series she did. She plays the mother of the kidnapped teen in this show. This is one I definitely recommend checking out. With only 13 episodes I doubt it... but I am hoping that they knew about the cancelation in time to finish off the storyline.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I been wanting to check this series out for quite a while now. And thanks to a good friend giving me the first 4 seasons for Christmas I can now do that. I just watched the first two discs... and I must say... I am already enjoying the series quite a bit. I like how each episode show a scene from when he was a kid.... learning to do what it is that he does. I also liked how they mixed comedy in with a crime series. It reminds me of the series Monk in that way. Which is how I first heard of this series. The pilot episode is on one of the Monk season sets. Favorite episode so far?... would have to go with the pilot episode. I think it is definitely one worth checking out if you haven't done so already.My Rating:

This is a cartoon I always enjoyed when it originally ran. But I haven't seen most the episodes in a very long time now. It was good to watch these episodes again... was like watching them for the first time again as I really didn't remember many of the storylines. My favorite on this disc has to be the two part episode dealing with the origin of Robin. He was only in 3 episodes of the volume one set... and here in the volume two set he was already in that many episodes on the very first disc. And looks like he will be in the show for this point on. Now if we could just get Batgirl going on the series we will have the gang all here.My Rating:

I just finished off another disc in this set. One more disc to go to complete the first season. I am still enjoying the show quite a bit. It really seems to be a fun series. By this point I am getting to know and like all the main characters. The episodes remain fun... and has decent mysteries at the same time. My favorite episode on this disc would have to be Shawn vs. The Red Phantom. Mainly because I liked how they hammed it up at the Comic-con. And they even had George Takei (Star Trek) as a special guest star to appear at the Comic-Con.

I am liking this series more and more with every episode I watch! This disc completes the first season... and has my favorite episode in the entire first season... possibly the entire series as I think it will be a hard one to beat. The episode I am talking about is Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast. Which also just happens to be a Halloween episode. Though you wouldn't know it if you didn't catch the episode from the very beginning. As it makes it perfectly clear that it is taking place on Halloween in the beginning of the episode... but then it isn't mentioned again at all within the rest of the episode. Not even any sign of Halloween decorations or anything. Though the subject of the story is meant to be spooky. Well... about as spooky as a crime comedy series can be anyway. I now can't wait to start season 2! I just wish the seasons weren't so short!My Rating:

I been enjoying this show so much that I just couldn't be bothered writing a review for each disc. So I waited until I watched the complete season. And I am still completely hooked on this series. I have now watched 2 of the 4 seasons that I got for Christmas... and just can't wait to start season 3. Why am I so hooked on this series?... I really don't know... just know that I am enjoying every moment of this fun series. Favorite episode of the season? So many good episodes it really isn't easy to say... but I guess I would have to go with Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead... which happens to be the season finale. And I think they ended the season with a nice little cliffhanger. Nothing detrimental to the storyline... but something to keep your interest for the next season.My Rating:

Last night I finished season 3 (and started Season 4)... I am still enjoying the series quite a bit... though I have found I am not laughing quite as much as I did over the first couple of seasons. There has been a gradual decline in the laugh out loud moments. But find it still well worth watching. There is a lot of good episodes this season... so had a hard time picking out a favorite episode of the season. But when it came down to it I had to pick An Evening wtih Mr. Yang which was the season finale. Not so much for any comedy in the episode... as there was very little. But because he went up against a serial killer. It especially got good once the serial killer got a hold of his mother.My Rating:

I just finished season 4... the last season that was given to me for Christmas to watch. Though I do have the next season already ordered to look forward to. Needless to say... I am still hooked on the series. The set is filled with good episodes... but even so... it was once again rather easy for me to pick a favorite episode. As they brought back the character of Mr. Yang from the previous season's finale for this season's finale. Letting us know that Mr. Yang had a partner that is still out there.... a Mr. Yin! And looking ahead to season five I see they are brought back for that season finale as well. Something more to look forward to as these episodes are arguably the best episodes of the entire series.My Rating:

Last night I finished the fifth season of this series. I am still enjoying it quite a bit. Lots of good laughs and some interesting cases as well. This season also has a nice selection of extras as usual. And this season they dropped the montages. Which I have no problem with at all... as that is one extra I never seen the sense in. I mean all it is... is clips from different episodes in the season within a certain theme. I just watched the entire season... why do I now want to watch clips from the episodes I just watched?Now that I am all caught up with the DVDs I need to see about watching the current season episodes that has aired... this way I can start watching this show as it airs.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the first season in this complete series (6 seasons) set. I remember watching this show when it originally aired on HBO back in 1984. I remember enjoying the series then... and I enjoyed the first season now. But not nearly as much. Why? Not so much because the show didn't hold up over the years. More because most the episodes are the cut versions for network TV. There is a few episodes that are the original HBO cuts... can tell by the running time, language and nudity in those episodes. Another thing that shows the cut versions is the God-Awful laugh track that they added for the network airings. One that sounds so fake... and placed in the oddest places that it is distracting from the show. I did an internet search to see just how bad the rest of the episodes will be and I was disappointed to read that we get this type of treatment through half the set. The first 3 seasons are like this... but apparently seasons 4-6 are the original uncut episodes. Hopefully this is right... as it is very disappointing. I hate when they use cut versions!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished this set of last season's episodes. As usual... I enjoyed every minute of this set. A lot of really good stories... and I especially liked how the season ended. Makes it so I can't wait to catch up on this season's episodes. I was thrilled to find out that Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Arcadia) joined the cast this season. Unfortunately though, she only lasted a small amount of episodes. I would say about half the episodes of the season. If not less. Which is a shame because I was really enjoying her character. I am hoping at some point they will revisit the character to let us know where she went from here.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just couldn't wait to check out this series... so started it yesterday. I just finished it... and I must say that I enjoyed it quite a bit! I enjoyed the story.... was hooked on all the action...and liked all the characters. Another series that was canceled before it's time. I would have liked to seen it... at the very least... gotten 1 full season. But in this case it was canceled after 9 episodes. The DVD set has all 10 episodes that were produced. When I saw that episode 10 was titled Endgame I had hopes that they managed to give the series decent closure. But no such luck. One of the main reasons I wanted to check out this series is because Summer Glau is part of the main cast. And as usual... she didn't disappoint. Sure there is a bunch of bad CGI with all The Cape can do... but I also enjoyed that in a fun, suspend all disbelief type of way. The DVD release has no show related extras what so ever... but at least it does have a "Play All" option for those of us that likes that option. If you don't mind having short-lived series.... with no real conclusion & can forgive the CGI used... this is one series I would recommend.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Well... I just completed the entire series set. While it wasn't as good as I remembered it being... I was able to get into the show and enjoy it. Oddly I remember Delta Burke being in more of the series then what she was. She was only in it for about a season and a half... maybe 2 seasons. I had read in reviews that only the first 3 seasons had cut episodes. But this isn't true. While not nearly as many... all 6 seasons had at least some cut episodes. Which is a sad thing... but it could have been worse. While the audio was fine through-out (other then that awful fake laugh track added to some episodes)... the video on most episodes left some to be desired. At some points there was a bit of noticeable snow in the image. It didn't look like much... if anything... was done to clean up the source material. But over-all I enjoyed watching the show again. Of course it helps that I got the set for free. I would say it is worth adding to your collection as long as you are able to get it cheap.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Before getting this set I have seen a good handful of episode and always thought it was a pretty good series. But now that I have gotten to see it from the very beginning I am enjoying it much more. Finding it to be a very funny series. My favorite character in the series has to be Donna... as I have always had a thing for redheads... and always liked a strong and independent woman. The character actually reminds me quite a bit of my wife when we were teens back in the '80s. In this case I don't think I could pick out a favorite episode as I really enjoyed them all so much. Definitely a series worth checking out if you haven't done so yet. I am looking forward to watching season 2 now.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished season 2... I went through this season in no time. And am enjoying the series even more. Tommy Chong (Cheech & Chong) was in several episodes of this season. He made a pretty good addition to the cast. Once again I can't decide which episode would be my favorite of the season as they were all good... but if pushed I would probably go with the 2 part episode where Donna and Eric loose their virginity. I would love to go straight to season 3... but don't have it yet. Hopefully I will be able to get it before too long.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I have had this set for just over a year now... and I finally got around to finishing it. This set contains the first twelve episodes of season one. It is a series I grew up watching. It is one of the first hour long comedies I remember seeing... something that still don't happen that often. It seems that usually comedies run in the half hour format. One of my favorite things about this series has always been seeing all the well-known guest stars... I especially liked the ones I knew from other TV series. The guest stars that I am familiar with in this set include...| Meredith Baxter Birney Bonnie Franklin Suzanne Somers Jimmie Walker Sherman Hemsley Jaclyn Smith Scott Baio Kristy McNichol Robert Reed Loretta Swit Milton Berle | Bill Bixby Audra Lindley Jim Nabors Patty Duke Robert Hegyes Maureen McCormick Steve Allen Sandy Duncan Gary Burghoff Jane Curtin Phil Silvers | Eva Gabor Al Molinaro Leslie Nielsen Rob Urich Florence Henderson Donna Mills Dick Sargent Pat Morita Tom Poston Anson Williams |
I enjoyed watching this set... it has been so many years since I seen this series. It is a fun show with a lot of great characters. I also have the season 1 vol. 2 set as well to look forward to in the near future.

My Thoughts:
After watching and enjoying the first season so much I just couldn't wait to watch the second season. Though I did go into this season with much lower expectations... as this is the season that they were producing when John Ritter passed away. And quite frankly, I couldn't really imagine the series without him. But I must say... I still enjoyed the series a lot. It really wasn't the same without him. I would even go as far as not as good... but I still enjoyed it. John Ritter was in the first 3 episodes of this season. When he passed they also killed off his character. That episode, as well as the next couple, was some of the saddest moments I remember seeing in a sitcom before. Though that could be because I knew that is when John Ritter actually passed away as well. But I am sure that a lot of the sadness in these episodes was real for the entire cast and fans alike. After his death they added James Garner as Kate's father—the kid's grandfather—to the cast. Shortly after that they added David Spade as C.J., Kate's nephew—the kid's cousin—to the cast. At first I didn't care for the character of C.J. but it didn't take it long for him to grow on me. As I said... while I liked the first season better... this season is still good. Looking online at the episode guides I see there is still one more season of the series. So now I really want to see it. But unfortunately it seems it was never released on DVD! I so hate when they release an entire series except the last season! But maybe I will still get lucky and it will be released sooner or later.

I just finished watching this first season set that my daughter was nice enough to give me. This first season is the only episodes of this series I have seen before.... but it has been a while. I enjoyed every minute of watching these episodes again. Now I am looking forward to watching the second season. It will be nice to see episodes I never seen before. It is really hard to pick a favorite episode... or I should say storyline since all the storylines were multiple episodes... as I enjoyed them all so much. But if pushed I think I would go with the 3 part season finale. While I enjoyed every minute of this... I do have just one complaint. That they made Wonder Woman be able to fly. I realize she did fly in some comic book incarnations... but I always preferred the version where she couldn't fly and she had the invisible jet. Mainly because that is how I knew of her growing up watching the Lynda Carter series and cartoons at that time. But after a while I got used to it... so it really is a minor complaint.My Rating:

I just finished off the second season of Justice League. These are episodes I never seen before. And I must admit... I am enjoying this show more and more. There is a lot of excellent episodes in the second season, but the 3 part season finale really blew me away! It felt like watching a movie more so then three episodes of the series. I still can't believe how it ended with Hawkgirl... not to mention with the Watchtower. I can't believe I have to stop watching at this point for a while. I am going to have to make sure to get the next set with my very next order!My Rating:

I just finished this set. This is a series I only ever watched on DVD as I got the sets. It took me a long time to get this season set. Matter of fact it has been 5 years since I bought and watched season 5! I don't know how I got so far behind... because I really enjoy this series a lot! The show has a great combination of crime mystery and comedy. And this season is no different. I enjoyed it a lot. The balance between mystery and comedy seems perfect to me. Thankfully I won't have to wait another 5 years to see season seven... as I already bought that one as well. But I do still need to get my hands on season 8 (the final season)!My Rating:

This is a series I discovered on DVD a few years back. It is odd because I usually don't go for this silly stuff, where you see what people are fantasizing about and such. But in the case of Scrubs it works well. I find I enjoy every moment of it. After watching so much drama here lately... it felt good to watch something this lighthearted and silly. So much so that I think I will continue and watch the second season as well. I like the entire cast in this one... it is a real fun ensemble. Before I started to watch this show I was feeling in a bit of a funk... but this show was able to pull me out of that rather quickly. This first season didn't have many familiar faces as guest stars... but I did notice Louie Anderson, Jimmie Walker, John Ritter and Brendan Fraser.My Rating:

I watched the entire second season just since last night. Took me less then a day to watch all 22 episodes. Once again... I enjoyed watching the show very much. It is just so much fun in such a silly way. To be honest I am surprised I enjoy it as much as I do... as the constant silliness usually puts me off. But this series really does it well. Once again we get to see a few good guest stars. The second season you get to see Heather Locklear, Dick Van Dyke, D.L. Hughley, Jay Mohr, Jay Leno, Amy Smart, Rick Schroder and Ryan Reynolds. Now the only thing I need to do is decide if I want to go on to the third season or not. I am definitely enjoying revisiting the series.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is a short lived (1 Season) series that I enjoyed every second of. It is a show I never missed when it originally aired.... I was shocked when I found out it was being canceled after only one season. Including the original airing... this is the third time I have seen this series. And I must say... I think I enjoyed it more now then I did the first time I saw it. This series has everything from hilarious comedy to serious drama that tugs at the heart strings. The cast is great.... you really get drawn in and care about the characters. And the last episode... while works great as a season finale... it also is fine for a series finale as there is no unanswered questions. Though it does leave you wanting more. It is a nice DVD release... though I would have liked to seen a few more extras. Unfortunately all you get is one Commentary on the first disc... and then one featurette (24min) on the last disc. This is one I definitely recommend checking out if you get the chance.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is one of my all time favorite series. It is one I never missed. Being completely hooked from the pilot episode till the series finale eight years later. While I really like all the actresses playing the sisters... my favorite has to be Holly Marie Combs. A shame I haven't watched her in much of anything since. All these years later... after multiple viewings... I find myself just as much hooked on the series this time around as I was the very first time I seen it. Granted it has been three years since I watched it. While I really enjoyed each and every one of the episodes here in the first season... I do have my favorites. Some of my favorites from season one include...- Something Wicca This Way Comes
- Dead Man Dating
- The Wendigo
- That '70s Episode
- Deja Vu All Over Again
Now that I completed the first season... I am anxious to start the second season. Only 7 more seasons to go to watch the entire series again! :P

My Thoughts:
I have so gotten into watching Charmed again! That being said... this season did go downhill a little for me. But that is mainly because this season the sisters decided to open a night club. So there is a little too much music in it for my taste. Other then that... there is still a lot of great episodes in this season. Unfortunately the season finale wasn't one of them. It wasn't as good as most the mid-season episodes...and I came to expect more from season finales then most other episodes. Also while OK... I never cared much for the new neighbors. But none of these complaints really took much at all away from the enjoyment of the series. Some of my favorite episodes of the second season includes...2. Morality Bites
8. P3 H2O
12. Awakened
18. Chick Flick
I did like that this season they gave Leo such a bigger part in the series... one that continues to grow through-out the entire series. As I always liked his character. But as I said... over-all another great season of Charmed... looking forward to getting to the third season. Which I plan to do as soon as I finish posting this review.

Another season of one of my favorite series down. Much like the second season... there is things I like about this season and things I didn't. I am glad that P3 isn't as big of a part of the series as it was last season. The main thing I didn't like about this season... is it is the season where Cole was first introduced... and while I know he is a popular character with the fans... I never liked him. But despite him... I still enjoy the series very much. Some of my favorite episodes from the third season are...4. All Halliwell's Eve
9. Coyote Piper
10. We All Scream For Ice Cream
15. Just Harried
22. All Hell Breaks Loose
Next up is season 4 which introduces half-sister Paige Matthews... a character that I did like!

My Thoughts:
I just finished the fourths season. This is the season that introduces Rose McGowan as the girls half sister Paige Matthews. While I miss seeing Shannen Doherty... Rose McGowan still impressed me. I remember when this series originally aired that I was concerned with the change in cast... but it didn't take long for me to embrace the new Power of Three. It was actually a very smooth transition that didn't hurt the series at all. We still need to put up with the character of Cole Turner... my least favorite character in the entire Charmed universe. Matter of fact he will still be in about half the episodes of the next season as well. I will be so glad to get past his episodes. Favorite episode of the season?.... hard choice, there is so many very good episodes... but I will have to go with Bite Me. You really shouldn't be surprised by this... after all it is an episode dealing with vampires. Just like all the previous seasons... no extras offered in this set. Matter of fact only the last season has any extras.My Rating:

I just finished this season of Charmed. As usual... I enjoyed every moment of it. Even a bit more so then some of the previous seasons. There is some big episodes in this season. And thankfully they finally got ride of the character of Cole. Yes... I know he is a very popular character... but I just never liked the guy. Other then that, this season has a couple of good two part episodes and the birth of Piper's son Wyatt. Even an episode where the girls are transformed into superheroes... costumes and all. When I first decided to watch some episodes of Charmed I figured I would watch maybe a season or two. And here I am so hooked I made it through season 5 and looking forward to starting season 6. With only 3 seasons to go... I imagine I will be finishing off the entire series.My Rating:

This evening I finished off the 6th season. While this season has a lot of very good episodes in it... it don't have quite as many as the previous season. Drew Fuller is added to the main cast this season as Chris... a witch/whitelighter from the future there to save baby Wyatt from turning evil. Which is the main storyline for this season. Picking a favorite episode from this season is near impossible as I liked so many... but some of my favorites for this season include...1. Valhalley of the Dolls, Parts 1 & 2
10. Witchstock
13. The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell
14. I Dream of Phoebe
20. Witch Wars
21. It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Parts 1 & 2
Unfortunately there is no series related extras in this set. But the episodes themselves are more then worth the money you would have to pay for the set.

My Thoughts:
Just finished this season. I enjoyed this set a bit more then the previous season. In this case instead of having one season length "Big Bad" to fight... they had 2. One for the first half of the season involving the Avatars. Then the second half the season they had to go up against one of the most powerful demons they ever came across. One that actually gets control of their home and their Book of Shadows. When this season originally ended they weren't sure they would see another season... so they thought ahead and came up with a finale that could work either as a season finale or a series finale. While we did get another season I am thrilled they took that into consideration. Because if we didn't and it ended in a cliffhanger... well that would have been a very sad thing for such a popular series. I really liked all the episodes this season... so it is very hard to pick out any favorites... but a few I would definitely mention would have to be..2. The Bare Witch Project
5. Styx Feet Under
10. Witchness Protection
22. Something Wicca This Way Goes
There is a guest star I enjoyed from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in a few episodes this season that I wanted to mention. That being Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia)... in this she played The Seer... a demon psychic. So far into the series... and still being able to give it such high ratings. Definitely a series I would recommend!

My Thoughts:
Here it is... the final season of Charmed. I went through this season so fast... in just a few hours over a day. Come to think of it... I went through the entire series pretty quick... 8 seasons (178 episodes) in exactly 3 weeks. That averages out to 8 and a half episodes per day! This is my 4th time watching the series... and I loved the entire run this time as I did the first time I saw it.Good new this set (is the only one that) has extras! There is a few commentaries as well as several featurettes. Including a featurette where they actually interview fans of the series. A strange thing about this set is that they did not use the theme song for the opening of the episodes. They have for every previous season... but they don't for the last season? Oh well... I always skip the episode openings anyway. One thing that bugs me about all the sets of Charmed is that there is no play all function. I know how difficult is it to click the next episode once it goes back to the menu...but it can be a pain. Especially when you keep forgetting where you set down the remote... like I did many times!
This season Kaley Cuoco is added to the cast. She is well known for playing Penny on The Big Bang Theory. Kaley plays a young witch that The Charmed Ones take in and teach the craft to. This is one time I just can not pick favorite episodes... as I loved every minute of them all. I especially loved how they ended the series. Episodes like Forever Charmed is how all series should go out. It gives a great sense of closure for the series. No unanswered questions. Just a sad goodbye. If there is anything I would change if I could. It is how the final episode brought back so many familiar faces from previous episodes/seasons... but they couldn't get Shannen Doherty to make an appearance. The final shot of the episode was of a bunch of family pictures on the wall as they followed an Piper and Leo up the stairs... and they couldn't even use a picture of her on the wall!?! It is a shame.
Over-all I can't say enough good about it... loved every second. After watching all 8 seasons I actually find myself a little sad that I don't have any more to watch.

My Thoughts:
I just finished the first season of this Anthology series that originally ran on Showtime in the mid '90s. It is a bit tough to review this set. I mean I enjoyed it quite a bit... but there is a lot of weird episodes in the set as well. I classify this as a horror anthology as it deals with vampires, ghosts and other supernatural beings. But then there is episodes that deals with normal murders and such as well. Since this series originally ran on Showtime each episode also has a bit of sex/nudity. Though nothing overly adult oriented. Each episode runs about 26min. Unfortunately I didn't care much for Terrance Stamp as the host. I even found myself fast forwarding through his little introductions to the episodes towards the end of the set. But over-all I would say it is worth checking out.My Rating:

This is a set I just had given to me... an early birthday present. Never seeing a single episode before getting the set. I found it to be a pretty good series... but far from great. The show actually had to grow on me a bit to get the 3.5 rating I decided to give it. After the first few episodes I was thinking between a 2.5 and a 3. But it did start growing on me. And would probably had grown on me some more if it wasn't such a short first season. But I did end up enjoying it enough to want to get the second season and complete the series. I liked seeing Melissa McCarthy in something earlier in her career. I only know her as one of the stars of the sitcom Mike & Molly. The set has a few nice extra features. I didn't listen to the audio commentary (on the pilot) yet. B ut I did check out the blooper reel and deleted scenes. Both sections was a little shorter then I would normally like. And the blooper real... which is usually one of my favorite extras... left me disappointed. It was nothing more then some of the cast members getting fits of laughter while trying to do their lines. And then very few of that. Over-all I would say this is a cute show... but don't expect too much from it.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is a (very) short lived series that originally aired on The CW... the year that The CW was formed. Unfortunately for some reason they felt the need to cancel this series after airing only 3 episodes! I mean come on... how do you not give a series more of a chance then 3 episodes? The DVD set has the entire 9 episodes that was produced before the cancellation. It is a real shame that they didn't give it more of a chance... because IMHO... this is a very good series. I think it had an excellent chance of going on for at least a couple full seasons. I found myself so drawn into this series while watching it. At the end of each episode I couldn't wait to watch the next. My favorite episode in the series is There's No Place Like Home... in this episode the small town the family is hiding out in is hit by a tornado. Obviously with such a small amount of episodes this series does end with some unanswered questions. But it does answer the question of who it was that killed the woman Paul is accused of murdering. And I must say... wow! Great twist! Definitely didn't see it coming! Makes me even madder that the series didn't get the chance to continue!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
What to say... well let me start out by saying I bought this set in 2005 and season 2 in 2006. I watched them both as soon as I got them. Then somehow the show dropped off my radar.... and I never bought any more season. Late last year I was able to luck into seasons 3,4 & 5... free! But never got around to watching them. And I never watched this series as it aired so never seen the episodes at all. I decided it was time to watch them... but since it has been about 7 years since I seen the episodes I decided I better start from the beginning again. After watching the first couple discs I found out I was going to be lucky enough to get season 6 for my birthday... completing the series for me!Watching these episodes reminded me how good this show was. It took no time at all for me to get totally hooked again! I find the storyline so interesting that I just can't stop watching! So many twists and turns! Maybe even too many as I end up having a hard time keeping it all in my mind while watching. It seems like no sooner they reveal one answer it leaves you with two more questions. The cast is very good... don't dislike anyone's performance. There is a lot of likable characters here. I like Jack... I like Claire... I just plain get a kick out of Hurley.... and Locke is great for keeping you guessing.
Now I need to get myself through season 2... that way I can work my way to the episodes I never seen before. I hear this show starts to get increasingly weirder from season 3 on. Hopefully not too weird! I also heard that the series finale was less then satisfying. So while I am enjoying this series very much at this point... I am preparing myself to be less then pleased as the series goes on.

I just finished watching the episode where Hugo finds the van in the woods. I don't drive... and I am the first to admit I know next to nothing about cars... but even I know there is no way that van would have started! ::) :P

Just finished off the season 2 set I got for my birthday. I forgot how much I enjoyed this series. I enjoyed this set so much that shortly after I started it I went ahead and ordered season 3 (which arrived today... perfect timing!). This show offers up a lot of laughs. I like all the characters... and the cast works well together. This is the last season that Pamela Anderson played the Tool Time Girl... Lisa... Beginning of next season they have Debbi Dunning as Heidi. Which makes me happy as I always liked Heidi better. Any way... a great sitcom... definitely recommend it.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Another of my favorite older sitcoms. Unfortunately when it originally aired the series moved to another channel after season 4... so never got to see the episodes from season 5 on up. But the good thing about that is that I am getting to see episodes I never seen before now on DVD. And that is always a fun thing! I just finished the first disc in this sixth season set. I really enjoyed most all the episodes. While the Halloween episode was enjoyable it wasn't my favorite episode on the disc. And while my daughter won't agree with me... it isn't the best Halloween episode of the series. My favorite episode on this disc (would have been a good Halloween episode) has to be Really Big Season Opener. I was also glad to see them bring Harvey back for some episodes... I like him much better then Sabrina's new boyfriend. I am really looking forward to the next disc... but I am in the mood to start mixing it up some. So first I am going to watch a disc from another series.My Rating:

Finished the second disc (and started the third).... While these episodes weren't quite as good as the ones on the first disc... they almost were. I must say I got a kick out of seeing Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) in a couple episodes as another of Sabrina's aunts. My favorite episode on this disc?... has to be Birthday Witch... though Really Big Season Opener remains my favorite of the season.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I was thrilled when I got the complete series set yesterday evening. I couldn't wait to pop in the first disc. I have seen the first season of this series before. But it has been several years since I last saw it. Basically I remember the main plot of the series.... but not of the individual episodes.This first disc contains the first three episodes. The pilot episode... Children of the Gods... is a double length episode. And it is my favorite episode of the three. They did a fantastic job coming off the theatrical movie Stargate. The second episode... The Enemy Within isn't really much more then a conclusion to the pilot episode. But still a very good episode in it's own right. The final episode on this disc... Emancipation... I felt was excellent. The episode is a big one for Amanda Tapping's character Captain Samantha Carter.
All three episodes on this disc kept my full attention.... and kept me thoroughly entertained. Going by this first disc... it is of no surprise what so ever to me that the series lasted for 10 seasons. I am more then thrilled I now have the opportunity to watch the entire series. I can see it now that this series can easily rank up there with my favorite Sci-Fi series! If you never seen this show before I highly recommend you give it a try.

Which is one thing I was thrilled to see... as I always liked her better then Pamela Anderson from the first two seasons. This is yet another season filled with very good episodes chock-full of laugh out loud moments. I enjoyed every moment of it... and can't wait till I get the chance to add the next season to my collection.My Rating:

I am still enjoying the series very much. But there is some episodes on this disc I didn't care for as much as the previous episodes. Still more then worth watching... but don't quite live up to the episodes on the first disc. My favorite episode on this disc has to be The Broca Divide. These first season episodes I have seen before. But it's been so long I don't remember them... so I am looking forward to the next disc. And definitely looking forward to the next season... for episodes I never seen before!My Rating:

Just finished this disc full of episodes. I have to admit... I was surprised to see that the aunts were written out of the show. Sabrina took over the aunts' house with Roxie and Morgan living with her. She is out of college... which seems to me that came a little quickly. And now she is working at a music magazine as a reporter. So I am not too thrilled with the changes made for this season... but over-all I am still enjoying the series. Just so far this one is my least favorite season of the entire series. My favorite episode on this disc?... has to be It's a Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot Christmas.My Rating:

Now that I am almost done the season I am much more used to the new format of the show... and it is growing on me. I still miss seeing the aunts in the episodes... but their absence aren't taking away from the episodes. I am also enjoying it more now that Sabrina quit the job at the magazine. While it hasn't showed much about what she is doing now... it did say in the same episode where she quit that she was writing on a freelance basis. Romance Looming is my favorite episode on this disc... where Aaron asks Sabrina to marry him. Unfortunately she said yes... because I really don't care for Aaron in the series. I don't know. The series started with her and Harvey... and I want to see it end with her and Harvey as well. But I am holding onto hope that is still possible... since he did say he is still in love with her. Anyway enjoyed this disc more then the first. I am just happy to see episodes I never seen before! My Rating:

This completes the final season of the series. I enjoyed most the episodes on this disc. But my favorite on this disc is the double episode series finale, What a Witch Wants / Soul Mates. I really liked how they ended the series. It makes me wish for a reunion movie. It would be nice... but unfortunately that is something they don't do much anymore. There is however a TV movie as an extra on this disc... though it appears that it is one that aired somewhere between season 2 and season 3. My Rating:

Another disc filled with very good episodes. I enjoyed every minute of them. All the episodes continue to keep my attention with ease. The episodes seem to just fly by while watching.

My Thoughts:
This is a series I remember seeing a handful of episodes of years ago. I enjoyed watching this 3 episode best of disc quite a bit. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed this series when I was a kid. Though how this is not how I remember the series. I could have sworn I remembered this series in color. Now this could be because the series started out in B&W and then went to color at some point within the series. Or I could have possibly seen colorized versions of it on TV. But I could have sworn I also remembered this to be an hour long show... but it seems I am remembering wrong as each episode on this disc was just under half an hour each. All the episodes on this disc was very good... enjoyed them all. But if I had to pick a favorite episode on this disc... I guess I would have to go with Mail Order Groom... as it was a plain fun episode that even had a touch of comedy mixed in with it.My Rating:

The coffee shop was season 5 (and into season 6 if I remember correctly)... so if you saw that season maybe it is only the last 1 or 2 seasons you never seen?
I do remember the coffee shop. I was thinking before that it was mainly the last season I hadn't seen. I can't remember if I saw anything with her writing for that magazine you mentioned. Hmm.

This completes this series. It isn't a bad series.. I did enjoy it. But at the same time I am not surprised it got canceled as quickly as it did. There is far better sitcoms out there. The finale does a fairly good job at closing the series out... but at the same time it does set up a 3rd season... in case it got one. The way they put the episodes on the discs is a bit confusing. Instead of running the episodes as they aired... 1 through 20... they for some reason pulled 3 episodes out of the middle of the season. Numbered the rest 1 through 17... and then put the three they pulled under it's own menu option entitled "More Sam." No idea why they did this.... makes no sense to me what so ever. There is some decent (though all very short) extras added to the set as well.My Rating:

I enjoyed the episodes on this disc very much. I always liked how this series was such a good mixture of comedy and crime mystery. The combination makes for a real fun show. My favorite episode on this disc has to be Mr. Monk's 100th Case which of course came on the series 100th episode. One of the things I liked about this episode is that it brought back some of the past guest stars... such as Sarah Silverman, Andy Richter and Howie Mandel. While, as I said, I enjoyed all the episodes... my least favorite on this disc has to be Mr. Monk Falls in Love... the story just didn't keep my interest as much as it should have.My Rating:

I finished off this disc yesterday evening. This one completes the 7th season. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... but think my favorite is Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs. The disc also has a making of featurette for that same episode. I also really enjoyed Mr. Monk Fights City Hall... I especially liked the final shot of the episode. I thought it was a fitting ending. Now that I finished off the 7th season... I really need to add season 8 to my collection to complete the series.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is a series I never heard of before finding the DVD set cheap at Big Lots back in January. I have been watching an episode or two here and there since I got it... and finally finished the set this morning. It took longer then I expected considering there is only 8 half hour episodes in the season. The series aired on Showtime (originally on ITV2 in the UK)... but I somehow missed it at that time. I found it to be a fun and interesting series... but it isn't something I could sit through many episodes of at one time. I tend to get tired of watching after a couple of episodes. But over-all I enjoyed the series... and I am interested in getting more seasons. The odd thing is though... after checking Amazon.com I learn that seasons 1, 2 & 4 are available on DVD... but there is no sign of the 3rd season. I really liked the star of this series, Billie Piper, I found her to be just adorable. Unfortunately this is the only thing in my entire collection that I have her in.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
It sure took me long enough... but after having this set in my collection for a year I finally finished off Blade: The Series. I really enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... within the entire series for that matter. I will admit it was a bit difficult for me to see anyone other then Wesley Snipes in the role of Blade... but it didn't take me long to get used to Kirk 'Sticky' Jones. I think he did a fine job taking over the role. My favorite episode on this disc has to be the series finale... Conclave. It has a great conclusion to the season long arc and lots of action. It also has the one thing that I didn't care for when it came to this set. While it tied up the season well, they apparently didn't know that the series was being canceled yet... so there is a good set up for season two and a cliffhanger as well. It is always a bit of a disappointment when a series ends that way. Over-all I enjoyed every minute of it... definitely recommended.My Rating:

Felt like watching a little of this series. It's one of my favorite current series. Though the fourth isn't my favorite season... I still enjoy it. I never cared too much for the whole angel storyline of this season. Not that it is a bad storyline... just not as good as some of the previous stuff. My favorite episode on this disc is FAMILY REMAINS... which is a different kind of story for this series... as there is no supernatural creature involved. This time they go up against the horrors of man. A horror that can be scarier then any monster.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
After receiving this one today I couldn't wait to check it out to see if it was as good as I remembered from when I was a kid. Unfortunately not so much. It is still entertaining... and I can still enjoy watching it... but it really isn't anything more then an average sitcom. Through-out the entire 8 episodes on this disc I only chuckled a few times. My favorite episode has to be the 3 part pilot episode. Mills Creek Entertainment really goofed up on the packaging of this disc. This is a single DVD... and they put it in a double thick Keep Case. But not even a normal double thick Keep Case... the DVD itself is housed in a paper envelope... which is then held in place by clips in the keep case. I have seen multiple disc releases like this before... but this is the first time I ever seen it done for a single disc release!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished season 5 of Supernatural. Over all I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I have to admit the whole angels storyline did start to get old to me. But then I have always preferred the "monster of the week" type episodes over the season long arcs. But that is something that usually tends to be true... no matter the series I am watching. I got a kick out of the episode Changing Channels where the brothers are put into a fantasy world which they are characters to different television series. Fictional television series... but ones that are very similar to real ones. Despite the whole angel storyline... this series remains one of my favorite current series. It is a series I highly recommend.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Every since I found out I was getting this season 1 set I was curios about the series. I have heard a lot of great things about the show. I only watched the first disc... containing the first two episodes so far. Not sure why they have so few episodes on a disc. Watching so little so far it is kinda hard to make an informed opinion. At this point I have mixed feelings about the series. It does seem to keep my interest. I am enjoying it. But it is a little on the slow side for my taste. I would also like to see the violence in this series a little more graphic. Don't get me wrong... it is pretty graphic as it is... but I would like to see it at the level of the series Spartacus that airs on Starz. Over-all I am enjoying it... and can see myself getting hooked on the series.My Rating:

With today being Friday the 13th.... what better time to watch the next disc of my Friday the 13th: The Series collection? This is a series I always liked back in the day. And I found it held up rather good for me. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Read My Lips... which happens to guest star Billy Drago who made several appearances in Charmed as the Demon of Fear. While I always enjoyed this show... it is one where I can only watch but so many at one sitting. A disc at a time seems to be about right for me. Which is probably why it is taking me so long to get through my collection. Even so... this is a fun show... one that I definitely recommend.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Over the last few days I just watched the entire 8th (final) season of 24. There is just something about this series.... something that once you start a set.... you just can't stop until you watched the entire season. I must say... I enjoyed every second of this one! An excellent season to an outstanding series. This is a series I highly recommend. I am sorry to see that there is no more episodes to watch now. While I loved this season... this series on a whole... I would have liked to seen a better ending to the series for the main character. Granted I don't know how they could have done anything else with the story they told... but I just personally would had preferred a different outcome.After recently watching the last 2 seasons of this great series... I am tempted to start all over again from the very first season to the last. But I think I better save that for another time. If you never seen this series before... give it a chance... I sure you won't be sorry.

I finally got to see the end of this series. I must say... I enjoyed this set very much. My favorite episode has to be the two part series finale. Not only did I enjoy every second of the storyline... I like how they closed the series out. Letting Monk finally solve the case of his wife's murder. It makes me so glad that they knew ahead of time that this was going to be their last season. Many shows don't get the opportunity to close a series the way they would want to because they don't know in time. I also like that they brought Sharona back for an episode before the series ended. Another favorite episode from this season is the one where Natalie throws Monk a surprise birthday party. If you never seen this series... I definitely recommend it. It is a lot of fun!My Rating:

I just finished this set. After a four year break since watching season 5... I finally got season 6 to watch. And I must say... I forgot how much I enjoyed this show! Once I started to watch it... I just couldn't stop till I finished the set. This show has a great cast... including one of my all-time favorite actresses.... Catherine Bell. I am thrilled I have the next season (possibly the next 2 seasons) coming my way soon from a trade I made... as this season ends in a heck of a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see how it concludes. Unfortunately this set don't have any special features what so ever. This is definitely a series I would recommend.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I recently watched this season on On-Demand... and really didn't think too much of it. There was several people from the previous season not in this season. And since it is such a short season no sooner I got used to the new people the series was over. But I was able to get this set (to complete the series in my collection) through a trade I was doing for some duplicate titles in my collection. So I went for it. Thankfully on second viewing I was able to enjoy it more then I did the first time around since I had gotten used to the new characters the first time I watched the season. While I did enjoy it more... it is still my least favorite season of the entire series. Not really shocked that it was canceled after only 13 episodes... but I would have liked to of seen a full season non-the-less. My Rating:

I know I haven't posted much lately about what I been watching... but I have been watching some TV Shows on DVD. I just been re-watching sets I have had for a while. Reminding myself where I left off on the shows I am getting this month. So far I watched the entire season 6 of Grey's Anatomy and the entire season 5 of Bones. Now I am about to work on my Numb3rs sets.
Oh, i've forgot all about Numb3rs! Maby i should start rewatching that again sometime! ;) Thanks for that one.. :)
And what do you think about Bones? You like it?

My Thoughts:
This is a show I took off of an old recording and burned onto DVD. So no... as far as I know it is not available to buy. After having such success with That '70s Show Fox decided to for the same success again. This time with the '80s. Unfortunately it just wasn't as good. So Fox canceled it after only 13 episodes. I personally liked the show. Not quite as much as That '70s Show... but pretty close. I think Fox jumped the gun a little on canceling this one. I would have liked to seen it go a full season. But at the same time I am not surprised it got canceled. One thing I didn't care for is this one is more music heavy then that of it's '70s predecessor. But it does have some characters I like and some decent storylines. There was several laugh out loud moments for me in these 7 episodes as well.My favorite character on the show has to be Tuesday. She is the punk rocker with long spiked hair played by Chyler Leigh. You may know Chyler Leigh from Grey's Anatomy where she played Lexie Grey since season 3. I really get a kick out of the character's mean... no nonsense ways.
I had more fun re-watching this series then I thought I would. But then again... I am a child of the '80s so I do relate to the series a little more then I do the '70s. Now I am looking forward to checking out the rest of the episodes. 7 episodes down... 6 to go!

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching this set. Not to bad considering I just got it this past Monday. While I still consider Grey's Anatomy to be one of my all-time favorite medical dramas... I must admit that this isn't their strongest season. While I definitely enjoyed most all the episodes... they weren't quite the caliber of episodes that I am used to from this series. Especially coming after such an excellent season that we got in season six. And why is it that all my favorite shows just must have a musical episode? While the main storyline for this episode was good... it really didn't need the musical aspect that they gave it. And at the very least... for me personally... it took away from the episode. Making me want to fast forward through half the episode. Still a really good season... but I definitely seen better.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the first disc of the sixth season. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc quite a bit. I do follow this series as it airs so this is the second time for me seeing these episodes. While I enjoyed all these episodes... I would have to say THE BODY AND THE BOUNTY is my favorite episode on this disc... if for no other reason then it was fun to watch "The Science Dude" and seeing Brennan in that ridiculous bones leotard and tutu. There was a couple familiar faces in the episodes on this disc... first there was Dylan Bruno who played Colby on Numb3rs... then there was David Alan Grier as "The Science Dude."My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Last night I finished the 5th season of That '70s Show. I am now in the episodes I never seen before. So that adds a little something for me.... seeing the episodes for the first time. I am still enjoying the series quite a bit. There was quite a few laugh out loud moments through-out the season. There is also a nice selection of recognizable guest stars. This season we get to see...- Jessica Simpson
- Tom Poston
- Betty White
- Jamie Farr
- Bobcat Godthwait
- Seth Green
- Fred Willard
Of all these guest stars... I enjoyed the appearances of Betty White the most. I really got a kick out of her character. I also liked that this set has the episodes preview of all 24 episodes that you can watch before the episodes. The set also has a few featurettes. Not bad for extras but I would have liked to seen a few more things added as well. Maybe a commentary or two... a gag reel... stuff like that. But over-all I am happy with the release.

My Thoughts:
I was feeling a little nostalgic last night... so I popped in the first disc of Plastic Man. It is the latest addition I made to my collection of childhood favorites. Going into it I was a little nervous about how well it would hold up almost 35 years later. While it didn't hold up as well as I would have liked it to... I was still able to enjoy it somewhat for what it is. A superhero show that is nothing more then mindless and silly. Not something I feel comfortable recommending... especially to new viewers over the age of 5 or 6. This is a show I had fond memories of over the years. And while I am not sorry I added it to my collection... I do wish it held up better. This is a set I will watch a few episodes of now and then. Not a set that I will anxious to finish watching.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the first two seasons of this classic sitcom. One of my favorites. I always liked the entire cast. Many of the episodes of The Facts of Life deals with some pretty big issues... especially for the time ('79-'88). Starting with the very first episode. While they never say the word they are obviously showing that one of the girls under Mrs. Garrett's care is concerned she is a lesbian. Some of the other issues the episodes in this set covers includes cheating, crash diets, sex, adoption, divorce, drugs, the handicap, shoplifting and suicide. These first two seasons are rather short at 13 episodes each. Which I am sure is the reason they put the first 2 seasons together in one set. I really enjoyed revisiting these episodes... and I am now going to start season 3.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
After watching the Halloween episodes last month... and yesterday getting the complete series box set.... I have gotten the urge to watch some Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So between last night and early this morning I watched the first disc of the set. It was of no surprise to find that the discs are the same thing we got in the separate season sets... just repackaged into a complete series box. I found I am enjoying revisiting this series... so plan on watching more as I can through-out the next days/weeks. I am not sure if I will re-watch the entire series again... but I will enjoy it till I decide to move on to something else. Depends on how much I get into the series again. On this first disc we have the first 4 episodes ever made. My favorite on this disc would have to be the two part pilot episodes... Welcome to the Hellmouth and The Harvest. I thought the episodes set up the series great and left me wanting more. My least favorite would have to be Teacher's Pet. Not that it is a bad episode... but one had to be my least favorite of the disc... and compared to the other three... this one was lacking just a little.

My Thoughts:
I just finished this first disc of the first season. I have been a fan of this series since the pilot originally aired. It is a lot of fun.. has many laugh out loud moments. The show has a good cast... I like both Mike and Molly a lot... but I must admit that Molly's sister Victoria is always good for some laughs. Really most of the characters on this show is good for some laughs. Well I never cared much for Vince (Joyce's boyfriend)... but he hasn't showed up yet. Sure he will at some point on the next disc. anyway... if you never seen this show before... it is one I would recommend checking out.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I finished off the first disc of the complete series set I got today. This is a series I always enjoyed watching in my childhood... but I haven't watched the series in years. This series aired at the same time as the similar series Bewitched... so obviously most people compare the two series. While I personally liked both series... I personally preferred Bewitched over this. Though this is nothing more then great entertainment that is a lot of fun to watch as well. And I think most guys would agree... Barbara Eden looked wonderful in this series. The one drawback to this complete series set I have is that instead of giving us season 1 of the original B&W they opted to give us the colorized version instead. This surprised me... I would think the majority of people willing to buy the entire series at one time like this would be true fans of the show... and would prefer the original B&W episodes. One of my favorite things about this show is how they play with Dr. Bellows... driving him completely crazy.
Another thing I noticed is that there is 3 different openings of this series. The original opening that was little more then a recap of the first episode.... the first animated opening with Jeannie... and then starting in the second season the second and most well known animated opening with both Jeannie and Major Nelson. surprisingly after 8 episodes into the season we are still seeing the original recap opening. I would have thought by now that i would have gotten to the first animated opening. Another thing I thought I would have seen by now is Tony's friend Roger finding out about Jeannie. I thought that happened very early into the first season... I know it is the first season... but guess it was closer to the middle or end of the season.
Anyway... I really enjoyed watching the first disc of this set... and can't wait to continue revisiting the entire series again. Definitely a classic sitcom... recommended!

My Thoughts:
I finally finished off the first disc of this set. I been watching this series slowly. Watching an episode here and there. Mainly because my brother wanted to watch it with me... and he can't watch the show as often as I can. Watching this disc is the first I ever seen any of this series. It is completely new to me. So far I must say I am enjoying this show very much. It reminds me a lot of The Twilight Zone... I wouldn't say it is as good as The Twilight Zone... but it is definitely pretty close. If you are like me... and don't really know of this series... I would say to give it a shot. I don't think you will be disappointed.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the entire first season of this show with Brittany. I have seen this show a few times before... though not in several years. But it is the first time Britt has seen it. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a lot of fun. A lot of entertaining dark humor. We have fun guessing on how some of the deaths would occur. As I type this we have already started the second season. Brittany really likes the gravelings.... she said they are like cute little puppy-dogs of death. If by chance this is a show you never seen before both Britt and I would recommend this one.

My Thoughts:
This is the first disc of the Region 2 UK set. A friend of mine that works in a video store gave this set to me when one of the employees accidentally bought it from a customer... as they can't sell anything other then Region 1 titles in the store. Oh well, that employee's mistake turned out to be my gain!
This is the first time I seen any episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man since I was a kid. I have seen the character of Steve Austin in several episodes of The Bionic Woman since getting those DVDs not that long ago...but none of his own show. So it was a lot of fun watching this disc. Matter of fact... I am not sure I ever seen either of these... as they are the TV Movies they had before the series. They really didn't look familiar. But after all these years that don't mean anything. After watching this disc... reminding me of a great time in I had in my childhood... I really can't wait to finish this set. I am just sorry that the first season was a short one with only 3 TV Movies and 13 Episodes.

| (http://www.invelos.com/mpimages/73/733961716825f.jpg) | Biography: Sylvester Stallone: The Rocky Road to the Top He's given the world Rocky Balboa and John J. Rambo. No one dares question his stature as one of cinema's greatest action heroes. Documenting an early childhood spent in foster homes and his unstoppable rise to Hollywood's A-list, this is the story of a man, a father and an icon. Like the heroes he's portrayed, Sylvester Enzio Stallone has never let life's challenges knock him down. Using clips, rare outtakes, and in-depth interviews with friends, family members and some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities, BIOGRAPHY® presents an up-close look at this remarkable star. Born in Hell's Kitchen in New York City, Stallone struggled to find stardom Off-Broadway. He eventually wrote and starred in one of the biggest movie hits of all time — Rocky®. Sylvester Stallon's success as a writer, actor and director are also balanced by the sensitivities of his private life, where his artistic skills as a painter reflect the loving values he cultivates as a devoted family man. Narrated by Peter Graves BIOGRAPHY®: SYLVESTER STALLONE is the defining portrait of one of our most enduring and popular actors, avaliable for the first time on DVD. |
Stars:
Peter Graves as Narrator
Jackie Stallone as Mother
Renee Link as Jackie's Sister
James Colen as Childhood Friend

Charlie Flynn as Childhood Friend
My Thoughts:
After watching all the Rocky films, there was no way my brother and I couldn't watch this DVD with an episode of Biography that came with the Rocky Anthology box set. I always liked these documentaries... but this is one that I never seen before. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I learned quite a bit I never knew before... and I was reminded of things I completely forgot about. This is a fun watch... worth checking out.

My Thoughts:
Decided I wanted to watch some episodes of this classic sitcom. My daughter, Brittany got me the complete series set for Christmas this past year. I just wish the complete series set came with the original Black and White version of season one instead of the colorized version. While not ideal it was still fun watching these episodes after so many years.

Some Fun Facts
- In episode 17 Emmaline Henry appears playing a traveling magician. Starting in season 2 she returns to the series in many episodes as Dr. Bellow's wife.

My Thoughts:
It didn't take too long for curiousity to get the better of me... I decided to pop this disc in shortly after bringing it home. While I was curious about it... my hopes wasn't too high as I knew that this was a Nickelodeon series. So is a series geared towards kids. In this case kids in the pre to early teens. Over-all I would say it is a decent, cute series. But nothing I found myself really getting into. Though I did enjoy some of the episodes. And it was fun seeing Melissa Joan Hart in an early role... one even earlier then [j]Sabrina: The Teenage Witch[/].... which came 5 years later. She is the main reason I grabbed these discs when I saw the library was giving them away. While none of the episodes are what I would call must see... I will say that my favorite episode on this disc has to be Haunted House. But I would think anyone that knows me wouldn't be surprised by that. Will I add more of this series to my collection? (Is there even more available?)... I don't know. If I got a good deal I would probably add more... but it isn't something I would actively go looking for.

I decided to start watching some of this series as well. I have been a big fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt every since I first saw this series. Now I can't get enough of her. I really enjoyed all the episodes on this disc. But if I was made to pick one... I would have to say the pilot is my favorite episode here. The first season was much more drama related then the upcoming seasons are. As the episodes go on there is a little less emphasis on the drama and a little more emphasis put into the horror elements. I am a huge horror fan so this was never a problem for me. But I still love the more dramatic episodes just as much as the more horror related episodes.

My Thoughts:
Here I am with hundreds... if not thousands of DVDs I never seen once yet and I still find myself going back to shows I have seen and enjoyed before. But what can I say. It is after all the reason to even have a collection. So you can watch what you want to watch... when you want to watch it. But to be fair... this is the first time I watched these episodes since I first got the set 8 years ago. So it isn't like I am constantly watching the show. This is one that I loved every moment of when it first aired. It does hold up... but it does seem to loose just a little bit with multiple viewings. Either way I enjoyed watching these episodes again. My favorite episode on this disc has to be the pilot. It does a great job of introducing all the characters. If you never seen this series it is well worth checking out. The series lasted for two full seasons... but beware. They didn't know it was going to be canceled so the last episode of season 2 ends in a cliffhanger... a great cliffhanger at that... and then we got no more.

Thriller: The Purple Room
My brother and I just finished watching the episode The Purple Room of the TV Series Thriller. This was a Halloween episode that originally aired on 10/25/60. In this one Rip Torn plays a character that had to spend the night with his two cousins in an old haunted house in order to get his inheritance. One of his cousins is played by Richard Anderson... someone you may know as Oscar Goldman from the series The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. This is my favorite episode of the series I have seen so far. Not only a great storyline... but you gotta love the house they used in this episode...

My Thoughts:
I finished off the first disc of episodes. I found it to be a cute show that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Though I must admit that I liked the TV Movie that came first a little more. I thought through the entire movie and all of these episodes that the one playing Ethan looked familiar. Once I took the time to look I found out why. He plays in all of the Catherine Bell TV Movies... The Good Witch franchise. Where he played her character's step son. It is hard to pick a favorite episode on this disc... but I would say it would be a toss up between Blue Moon and Blood Drive.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I started watching this one last night and finished it off this morning. I must say... I am glad I finally started watching this series. I am enjoying it quite a bit. I can see what I saw others say about Castle's daughter being overly mature. But that didn't bother me much at all. While it may be a little much... I can understand it with a father like that. The character that bothered me more is Castle's mother. There is just something about her that bugs me... big time. But over-all I am liking this series a lot and can't wait to continue on.

My Thoughts:
I got this set only 4 days ago... and I already finished the entire thing! What can I say... this is my favorite medical drama! I really adore all the characters... and immensely enjoy all the storylines. It also helps that I haven't seen these episodes since they originally aired back in the 2011-2012 TV season. Some of this season's highlights for me were people falling into a sinkhole... Karev bringing the children for surgeries from Africa.... Shepherd and Grey adopting one of those children... Stampede at a Comic-Con.... A Penis Transplant... A Lion Attack... and an incredible season finale that makes you wish you could continue with the next season right away! If you never got the chance to check out this series... and you enjoy a good medical drama... this one is definitely a must see!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
Let me start off by saying that this is not the type of show I normally watch. I never been much for the pure drama. But this series is the exception to the rule. The pilot episode pulled me in with a terrific storyline... and that great storytelling continued through-out all 4 episodes on this first disc. I enjoyed it so much so that I really can't wait to pop in the next disc. I was thrilled to see Rachel Bilson in this series... as I became a fan of hers with her new series Hart of Dixie. While I must admit that I really don't care for her character on this series... she really is quite the bitch in this one. But all the same Rachel Bilson does do a great job playing that bitch. After seeing her character develop over these 4 episodes I have a feeling her character will be changing some though. Take it from someone that don't normally like these pure drama series... Give this one a chance... I don't think you will be sorry. And a special Thank You to my daughter for buying me the Complete Series set for my birthday! Thanks Britt!

My Thoughts:
Four more episodes watched... and I am still as hooked on the storyline as I was with the first disc. Which may not sound all that surprising... but it is for me considering this is not my normal type of genre I prefer. While I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc... I would say my favorite would have to be The Escape where they all go to Tijuana... a very dramatic episode that keeps you on the edge of your seat.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I felt like a bit of nostalgia today. These are episodes I haven't seen since I was a little kid! I would say it has been a good 35 years! Oh I feel old! I really don't remember much about these third season episodes... not like I was able to remember some from the first two seasons. This disc has some good episodes... I especially liked the two part episodes that starts this season. Very good storyline that really pulls you in. The one thing I don't like about the third season of this series is that they dropped Nancy Drew completely from the series! While yes, I did like The Hardy Boys... I always liked Nancy Drew even more. It saddens me that I won't get to see her at all while watching this season... but at least I know that I do have all her episodes that I can watch any time I want.My Rating:

I know I haven't posted about this series since Season 1 Disc 2... but I have been watching the set almost non-stop. I have become completely addicted to this show! I just now finished of Season 2 (out of 4) And let me tell you... this series has not failed to keep you enthralled. I been glued to the screen while watch. And that is saying a lot from me... as I don't normally like pure drama series. I mainly wanted to watch this series because of my becoming a fan of Rachel Bilson after seeing her in her new series Hart of Dixie. Turns out... in the beginning of this show she was a real bitch. But it didn't take long for her to get more likable. She still has a bitchy streak to her... but now she is one of my favorite characters. If this is a show you never seen before... I definitely recommend checking it out! Highly recommended!

I just finished watching the third season. Over-all I would say it isn't quite as good as the previous two seasons... though I still enjoyed it very much. Definitely had it's ups and downs. But at the same time it had an unbelievable season finale. So much so that I can't wait to start the 4th (final) season. Though I am concerned for this next season. Going by the finale one of the main characters most likely will not be there in the final season. And the kids are going from High School to College... so there is bound to be lots of changes for the final season. So I am really going into this last season without knowing what to expect.

Well, I just finished off the entire set (except for the last couple bonus features discs)... and I must say Wow! What a ride! I was worried about the final season... but turns out I enjoyed it quite a bit. Wasn't as good as the first 2 seasons... but it was just as good as the third season. And I have to say... I am so relieved that the series had a proper ending. Going into it I didn't know if it was canceled out of nowhere or if the series had closure. The series finale even went as far as showing how all the main characters of the series ended up... years into the future. I always liked when series did that.
Once again I need to thank my daughter for getting me this complete series set for my birthday... I thought it was amazing!

There is...
Ryan: The troubled teen played by Benjamin McKenzie. He is taken out of his down and out town of Cheno, Ca. He is taken in by the public defender and his family... relocating him to The O.C. (Orange County)
Seth: The public defender's son played by Adam Brody. Basic comic book geek that is basically spending his life invisible until Ryan shows up in his life.
Marissa: The girl next door played by Mischa Barton. A girl Ryan falls in love with at first sight.
Summer: Marissa's best friend played by Rachel Bilson. The rich and privileged bitch type. And the girl that Seth has been in love with since the 5th grade.
The series is a pure drama. Basically a teen soap. But one that I found to be extremely entertaining. Had no trouble keeping my attention from pilot episode to series finale.

As a father, he's a zero. But that is changing. Tragedy makes him a single parent to his two children. And as the first act of his new life, Andy leaves Manhattan and moves his family to Everwood, the tiny Colorado town where big dreams can grow. The relationship between Andy and his talented but resentful 15-year-old son Ephram forms the heart of these 23 first-season episodes of Everwood, the acclaimed, richly layered series created by Greg Berlanti. Treat Williams plays Andy, learning parenting on the fly as he raises Ephram (Gregory Smith) and 9-year-old Delia (Vivien Cardone). Unafraid to tackle big issues, spiked with sharp humor and filled with engaging characters, Everwood is a place and a series that rewards each visit you make. EPISODES: 1. Pilot 2. The Great Doctor Brown 3. Friendly Fire 4. The Kissing Bridge 5. Deer God 6. The Doctor Is In 7. We Hold These Truths 8. Till Death Do Us Part 9. Turf Wars 10. Is There a Doctor in the House? 11.

My Thoughts:
I just finished off the complete first season. Normally a drama series is not my type of thing. But in the case of Everwood I was hooked from the pilot episode... and I remained hooked through-out the entire season. I found this series to just be simply amazing. I liked all the character and the storyline advanced in a way that made you want to hurry and watch the next episode. And all I can say is WOW! on how the season ended... I so can't wait to continue on to the second season! This is one series I can't recommend high enough! This makes two drama series in a row that I fell in love with. My tastes must be maturing with age.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
A couple days ago the mood hit for me to watch some Smallville again. So I pulled out the first season set. Watched the entire set in 2 days! Now does that mean I will watch the entire series again... I don't know... after all there is 10 seasons. But I did already start the second season. I must say I enjoyed revisiting the first season episodes again. The entire cast looks so young! But that is to be expected from a series that lasted so long. Chloe remains my favorite character. But they are all good. I really didn't care for the portrayal of Lex Luthor early in the series.... don't know why, just expected something different I guess. But he quickly grew on me. A very good start to an excellent series!My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I just finished the second season this evening. Series is running strong. This season they get away from the "freak of the week" type stories and we start to see continuing arcs. This season Whitley is gone... freeing Lana up for Clark to chase after. In the first several seasons Clark gets one new power per season. The first season he got his X-Ray Vision... this season he got his Heat Vision... which I must say was a fun episode when he got that one! Early on in this season Clark tells his best friend Pete his secret. We also see the first of the Red Kryptonite in this season. As well as the introduction to the caves where Clark reads about himself in the Native American drawings. And finally... This season ends in a heck of a cliffhanger. I had a lot of fun re-watching this season... and looking forward to starting the third season!My Rating:

Unless you keep your film energy to watch more of them next month mister I never took an official break from watching horror film in 2013 :hmmmm:
Of course you probably don't need to worry about keeping unwatched movies to watch in october with everything you have :hmmmm:
Post by: addicted2dvd on September 07, 2013, 10:41:15 PM
I never bothered to take a break on horror this year either. But that is more to do with the fact that I won't have nearly the time to watch this year as I normally do. So can't go for any big totals this year anyway.

I know once I started I just couldn't stop. I so hope that season 6 arrives on time... according to Amazon it is scheduled to get to me on Tuesday (release day!). So hopefully I will be able to start watching season 6 tomorrow afternoon. :)

I do think watching more of it last night helped me distract myself a bit. I'm into season 4..ready for the final disc. I'll watch that tonight. Then start on season 5.
Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow too....and Star Trek Into Darkness...and Castle Season 5 and Elementary Season 1. I ended up ordering the last two last night.

I had the class tied to work this evening - from 6 to 9. I left early ..I always do. Nothing before I left, but it isn't unusual for UPS to get here in the evening...even after 6 or 7 a few times. So I get home, no boxes outside...didn't see it in the house where someone brought it in. So I check the tracking...they are sitting in Columbus, roughly 90 minutes away. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Yes I still have to watch season 5 again, but that's not the point. They told me it would be here today...it even said I would get it on release day when I ordered it. And other things coming from Kentucky have gotten here the next day...so who knows what the hold up is this time.

Howard finds life in the International Space Station is no escape from terrestrial turmoil between his overbearing mom and his new wife Bernadette. Raj meets someone special who may be a good match, if only he can keep her from fleeing mid-date. Even Sheldon learns a few things: a) what not to say when called in to meet the university's employee's relations director, b) what happens to childhood TV idols and c) that a Dungeons & Dragons adventure can be the icebreaker his relationship with Amy needs.

Well that is it. I already finished watching this set. Another great season filled with laugh out loud moments. I really couldn't suggest this series high enough. I feel safe in saying this show is my favorite current sitcom... if not my all-time favorite sitcom. I always find it so easy to watch this show. No matter how long ago I seen the episode before. Matter of fact (while I am not going to do it... I could easily start at season 1 again now.... and re-watch all 6 seasons again. This season while probably not my favorite season... is definitely up there... a must see!My Rating:

This is a series I liked from the start when it originally aired. unfortunately NBC decided to cancel it after only 1 season. At least it was a full season. This series is a good combination of comedy and drama. I felt it really worked... and I liked all the characters. This is definitely a series I can easily recommend. I just wish there was more of it to watch. For those of you that worry about it. Don't worry... the way they ended the season... there is no unresolved storylines. As the season finale also works well as a series finale. If you haven't yet... check it out. I don't think you will be sorry.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
This is the series that made me a fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think she was just fantastic in this series. As was Aisha Tyler and David Conrad. This first season stuck more to the drama... it isn't until later seasons that they explored the more spooky storylines such a series can do. I really enjoyed most all the episodes in this season. And the season ends with a bang. Though I must admit the big surprise they had for the end of the first season I seen coming from a mile away. Even the first time I saw the 2 part season finale when it originally aired I told my whole family what I thought (as the whole family loved this show from the start) in part one of the finale. They all thought I was nuts... but at the end of part two they all seen I was right. If you never seen this series before I definitely highly recommend it. Some of my favorite episodes from the first season...- Pilot
- Lost Boys
- Melinda's First Ghost
- Free Fall
- The One

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the second season of 2 Broke Girls. This is one of my favorite current sitcoms. Because of this show I have became a big fan of Kat Dennings. She is just hilarious. This season was filled with a lot of great episodes. And I was pleasantly surprised to find there was a couple episodes this season that I missed when they originally aired. If you never seen this show... I highly recommend it. My Rating:

Have you seen Defendor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1303828)? I recently rewatched it and was surprised that she was starring in that film. When I first saw the movie I didn't know her yet.
