I pratically grew up on Garfield cartoons ever since i was young, i'm sooo glad that these specials are finally on DVD!
The first one " Here comes Garfield" is the first Garfield special ever which introduces everyone's favorite fat orange furball as he with Odie the lovable dumb dog get into big trouble then head to the pound where Garfield must free Odie. Then " Garfield on The Town" has our hero escaping from Jon taking him to the vet by being in the big city streets to meet his long lost mother and battle some mean alley cats. Finally in " Garfield gets a Life" Garfield with Jon are sooo bored with their lives they decide to change it for once including trying to find the perfect girl for Jon.
A great collection of classic garfield cartoons for the entire family and great for both kids and adults alike.
Garfield, Then and Now 4 out of 5 stars.

The cover of this DVD shows the 1998 Garfield gazing in the mirror at his early 1978 self, the subject of these three specials. In 1980, Mt. St. Helen's blew it's top, and Garfield's first book, Garfield at Large, topped the New York Times bestsellers list. Two years later, Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, the team that brought Peanuts to the screen, unleashed Jim Davis' fat cat in his first prime time special, Here Comes Garfield. His first special was an Emmy award nominee, but the next year he took the Emmy with 1983's Garfield on the Town, and returned in a disco-era update, Garfield Gets a Life. Each of these specials was originally released on video, and all three are now together on this bargain-priced DVD for a flashback trip with Garfield down memory lane.

It was funny, but some of the movies were better than others. The best two movies were Alias Jesse James and I'll Take Sweden. Half are in color and half are from the days of black and white films. In watching these movies, you are able to watch Bob Hope develop (over time) his acting ability in the film format and also his humor expressions.
Thanks for (some of) the memories 3 out of 5 stars.

It may be safe to say that Bob Hope is a Hollywood legend. He achieved this status through some decent acting and comic timing, along with his USO tours and a few really good movies (most notably, his Road pictures with Bing Crosby). Somewhere along the way, however, I think Bob Hope became a bit of a caricature of himself and his later work didn't really display how good he once was. The MGM Movie Legends Collection of seven of his movies shows the gradual decline in the quality of his work. (To be fair, however, a lot of the failings in these films were beyond his ability to fix.)
The first movie (chronologically) is They Got Me Covered, a World War II movie with Hope as a bumbling war correspondent and Dorothy Lamour as his love interest. He is given a lead on a complex sabotage plot, but his informant is soon killed and the only copy of the notes are in an untranslatable shorthand. This film and the second in the set - The Princess and the Pirate - have Hope at his peak. This second picture has Hope as a 17th century version of a vaudevillian who rescues an incognito princess from a vicious pirate. Unfortunately, he also has the pirate's treasure map, which makes him a very wanted individual.
While the first two movies are on practically the same level as Hope's best movies, a slight decline is seen in the next one, Alias Jesse James, in which he plays an insurance salesman who has sold a policy to the famous outlaw. Now, he has to make sure James stays alive. There's a lot of good humor in this one, but sometimes Hope seems to be doing a Lou Costello imitation, and the attempt to capture the glory of his earlier comic westerns (such as The Paleface) is only partially successful.
The Facts of Life is the movie where the films really start to go downhill. Though still passable, this comedy-drama has Hope and Lucille Ball trying to cheat on their respective spouses and finding an affair is not as easy as it seems. I would imagine at the time that this was a disappointment to many Hope (and Ball) fans who would have expected something a bit more comic and less serious.
Road to Hong Kong is an improvement, thanks to the easy chemistry of Hope and Crosby, but the third member of the Road pictures, Lamour, is relegated to a cameo appearance, and female lead Joan Collins is no Lamour. Nonetheless, the formula is tried and true and works.
The last two movies in the set are easily the worst. In I'll Take Sweden, Hope plays a widowed father of Tuesday Weld. Hope is the ultimate square, and though the film seems to mock teenagers, it actually just makes Hope look dumb. Frankie Avalon is Weld's love interest, but Hope doesn't like him, so he moves off to Switzerland, where she falls for someone even worse. The final film, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number, is little more than a sitcom episode, with Hope accidentally getting entangled with a movie star. It's one of those stories that could be resolved quickly and cleanly if Hope just speaks the truth immediately, but he doesn't and the forced wackiness ensues.
The last movies are riddled with bad dialogue, contrived plots and cheap-looking sets, all of which were things beyond Hope's control. I do feel, however, that by the time of these films, Hope had been typecast into a role as himself, just spouting off one-liners and seeming like a stand-up comic more than an actor; in fact, in I'll Take Sweden, his character's name (Bob Holcomb) is practically his own.
The set offers little in the way of extras beyond trailers. In the Amazon rating system, the first two movies rate a high four stars, Road to Hong Kong a low four, Alias Jesse James a high three, The Facts of Life a low three, and the last pair barely two stars. Overall, I am giving the set three stars; while it's got some good films, it also is a poor showcase for exactly how good Hope could be.

My father asked for this DVD and I assumed it was long gone from the market. It wasn't! This was a great purchase and I know my dad will be thrilled!
Thank you.
Please come out with the complete seasons of this show!! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is easily my all time favorite television show. There is no one out there that makes me laugh as much as Chris Elliot. Get A Life was an absolutely awesome show.
If the complete seasons come out on DVD, there is no question that there will be plenty of people ordering them, so if any one in charge of that stuff knows whats good for them, they will do well to make sure that the complete seasons of this show come out on DVD!!

Live life with margin... or else... 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
This is the DVD that is accompanied with a study guide of the same title. You'll have to watch the video and use the guide to take notes and follow along.
In this series, Andy Stanley talks about having margins in life, and if a person lives life at the edge where culture and society pushes them, having no margin for error, when something happens, there will come grave consequences. The 6-week study consist of the following:
1. Less is More - About having margins in life
2. Downtime - About having margins with our schedule
3. Quality vs. Quantity - About margins in our finances
4. Reordering Your Finances - Practical tips on having margins in finances
5. A Time to Run - About margins in our morality
6. Finding Professional Margins - About margins in our work
With the stress and pressure of life, we need to learn and practice what God has intended for all our lives - margins!
Great video for a SS Class or Small Group! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Our Sunday School class watched this entire series and Andy Stanley delivers a powerful straight-talk message on creating more margin in many areas of our lives.
He defines margin as the space between your current performance and your limits and goes on to apply this with our life, our schedules, our finances, our morality and our work.
Each video is around 40-45 minutes which is perfect for a class lesson or small group session.
Highly recommended!

Editorial Review:
Why buy a collection of episodes from a TV series that lasted a mere two low-rated seasons? Because Get a Life was so far ahead of its time, TV still hasn't completely caught up yet. Chris Elliott, TV's original jackass, stars as Chris Peterson, a 30-year-old paperboy who still lives with his bathrobed and perpetually embarrassed parents (the venerable Bob Elliott and Elinor Donahue, who was "Princess" on Father Knows Best). The first slacker sitcom subverts conventions with its unapologetically obnoxious and delusional lead character in this well-chosen quartet of episodes. Chris auditions for a local theatre production, "Zoo Animals on Wheels." In "Married," he meets, marries, cheats on, and divorces a model all in one day. He is a fish out of water in "The Big City," and a man stuck with his father in a two-man sub lodged in his own bathtub in "Neptune 2000." Since its 1992 cancellation, Get a Life has taken on a life of its own, its legend perhaps enhanced by the fact that it has not been widely syndicated. For devoted fans, this collection is the next best thing to a Get a Life reunion (don't hold your breath). --Donald Liebenson

Godforsaken awful tripe. Who put up the money for this? Or, was it the money from Toby Ross' prior porn exploits? I can't imagine anyone sober that would put up money to produce this....I didn't have a drink, but I'm hungover from watching.. er, fast-forwarding through this "movie".
DON'T BUY 1 out of 5 stars.

This had to be the worst movie ever made...I have seen better acting in a high school play...no story to find...no cute guys what so ever...odd film quality...the only good thing about this movie was my fast forward button on my remote...these reviewers must have been part of the production staff trying to unload copies of this waste (DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE)
Is something missing? 3 out of 5 stars.

Just a note to say the DVD runs around 70 minutes not 90 as mentioned on Amazon and also the cover of the DVD. Funny that the people issuing a product are so sloppy as to not know how long it is or is this just misrepresentation? Perhaps it has been slashed.
Get a Life? No, Get a Clue - don't bother with this!!!! 1 out of 5 stars.

Oh my God - this is just AWFUL. Don't even bother. The men are blah, the acting is double blah and the story is...well I don't really know because it is so crappy. Don't believe the blurb in the product info. There are no fascinating men or colourful people - mostly ugly and not sexy doesn't count does it? Too bad to give any more detail. HATED it, rated it as low as I could go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
