The third season keeps the show rolling with the main story line of Dean's impending death on track with all their side stories as well. It sheds light into how this life takes a toll on them but keeps their witty banter instilled in each show as well.

keepers! 4 out of 5 stars.

I love this product! (of course that has nothing to do with Amazon. I'm just a SN geek.) It was delivered on time. I've enjoyed watching it with my siblings. Sometimes the discs skip, but I can never tell if it is the DVD player we are using or the DVDs themselves. Needless to say, I'll keep them forever! :D

Devilishly Good! 5 out of 5 stars.

Season 3 is as good as the first 2. The Winchester men are at it again, giving their all in bringing down the bad things, and sometimes not.... There is lots of action, suspense, and surprises. Some episodes, especially the last one, stunned, amazed, and scared me. I highly recommend Season 3 - watch it!

The Addams Family - Volume One
If The Munsters was a traditional family sitcom as reimagined by Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, The Addams Family is a macabre twist on Father Knows Best. The Munster and Addams clans made their TV debuts in 1964 and lasted two seasons before the networks buried them. The Addamses are now gloriously resurrected in this three-disc set that digs up the series' first 22 episodes (oddly, 12 shy of the complete first season). Inspired by Charles Addams's New Yorker cartoons, The Addams Family is fiendishly funny, with a dead-on cast that indelibly embodies Addams's characters. John Astin brings a demented glee to eccentric, frighteningly wealthy Gomez Addams. Carolyn Jones is bewitching as his pre-goth wife, Morticia, whom the Beatles might have had in mind when they sang, "Baby's in Black." Jackie Coogan is the electrifying Uncle Fester, with Ted Cassidy (who famously took a kick in the groin from Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) is the monstrous butler Lurch, whose "You rang?" entered the pop culture lexicon.

The Munsters was family friendly. The Addams Family is more sophisticated and wickedly funny. As Gomez notes at one point, "There's a touch of madness" in the Addams household, where "every day is Halloween." Bear rugs growl, a disembodied hand, Thing, delivers the mail, and a torture rack is good for what ails you. The children, Wednesday (Lisa Loring) and older brother Pugsley (Ken Weatherwax), enjoy such hobbies as playing autopsy or exploding model trains. Gomez and Morticia were one of television's most passionate couples, with Gomez being driven to arm-kissing ecstasy whenever Morticia spoke French. The last episode included in this collection, "Amnesia in the Addams Family," is a classic in which Gomez is rendered "normal" following a conk on the head. The look of disgust on Morticia and Lurch's face when he asks for a glass of milk is priceless. The "altogether ooky" extras include three episode commentaries, a featurette on Charles Addams, reminiscences from cast members Astin, Loring, and Weatherwax, a segment on the creation of the classic snap-snap theme song ("They're creepy and they're kooky...."), and the inevitable theme song sing-along. The Addams Family at last on DVD? As Gomez might exclaim: "Capital!" --Donald Liebenson

The Addams Family - Volume Two
Based on the original Goth cartoons by Charles "Chas" Addams that ran for decades in the New Yorker magazine, The Addams Family television sitcom portrayed a monster family whose moribund physical appearances were counteracted by each family member's exuberance for passion and adventure. This Volume Two DVD contains twenty-one episodes, including the last of season one and the whole of season two, plus commentaries, and a featurette about the cinematic impact The Addams Family had on American television culture. Premiering the same year as The Munsters, this short-lived series was one of the first two shows to take issue with the Leave It To Beaver aesthetic that dominated television throughout the 50s, in which perfect families narrowly defined normality in the American home. Instead, it starred a family feared by neighbors, who within the boundaries of their haunted Victorian mansion invented their own thriving, not to mention fun, culture. The Addams Family proved that outsiders could be extremely gracious, educated, and interesting, even if eccentricities rendered their looks a threat.

These episodes include the original cast: Gomez (John Astin) and Morticia (Carolyn Jones), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), the two children Wednesday and Pugley, butler Lurch, hairy Cousin Itt, and the enigmatic hand, Thing, who plays castanets for the married couples' cha cha parties, and looks up things in phone books. Macabre humor in each episode reverses average, expected logic. Flower arranging, for Morticia, involves de-budding and stripping roses of all but the thorns. In "Morticia, The Sculptress," Gomez bribes a local art dealer to buy Morticia's hideous art at the Addams Family's own expense, revealing Gomez to be a strange but loving husband. In most episodes, such as "Lurch, The Teenage Idol" and "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counselor," The Addams' aim to help their loved ones succeed, in these cases Lurch, as a harpsichord-playing pop star, and Itt, on a career search for an unintelligible, hair-covered little person. The Addams Family house interior still looks exquisite forty years later, full of taxidermied animals, antique furniture, carnivorous plants, and medieval charm. One watches this show not only for its sets and costumes, but also for its refreshingly wide take on what successful families can look like. --Trinie Dalton

The Addams Family - Volume Three
Product description: The Addams Family is not your typical family: they take delight in most of the things that "normal" people would be terrified of. Relive the misadventures of America's favorite frightfully funny family.

Editorial Review:

The feature film The X-Files: I Want to Believe is a satisfying if unspectacular installment in the X-Files series, taking place an unspecified time after the show's nine-year television run. Former agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is now a doctor, while Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is being hunted by his former agency and living in seclusion. He and Scully are summoned back by a case involving a missing agent and a former priest (Billy Connolly) who claims to be able to see clues to the agent's whereabouts psychically, though his initial search turns up only a severed limb. Don't expect the usual cast of characters; the FBI has completely turned over (except for the George W. Bush portrait), and the only reason Scully and Mulder are back is because agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) remembers his success on similar cases involving the unexplainable. Don't expect the same rogues' gallery either; unlike the previous X-Files feature film, which was inextricably linked to the series' convoluted mythology arc (and served as a bridge between the fifth and sixth seasons), I Want to Believe is a stand-alone piece that makes use of the series' roots in horror/sci-fi and moody Vancouver, B.C., locales. Also unlike the previous film, which was almost self-consciously shot for the big screen, this film is on a smaller scale, like a double-length episode of the series. But it's still a good reminder of the creepy vibe that hooked fans for years. And the relationship between Mulder and Scully? It seems to have resumed pretty much where it left off, at least when you take into account the long period of separation. But stick around for the end-credit sequence to take in all the possibilities for the future. --David Horiuchi

As this is one of my absolute must see TV shows, it is easy to give this item a rave review. I didn't get tostart watching supernatural until the middle of the second season and was blown away by the well written scripts and the interplay between the main characters. Not since The X Files has a show been able to hold my attention for a complete hour and yet it always leaves me wanting more. So being able to watch the first season where John Winchester plays an important part has answered a lot of questions, and at the same time opens an entirely new set of questions which I hope the writers get season after season to answer!

A Rod Serling Party! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Over the years (before the series got snatched up by the Sci-Fi Channel) I always tried to tape as many episodes as I could whenever KTLA, a local channel out of Los Angeles, broadcast their annual Fourth of July or Thanksgiving Twilight Zone marathons.

Of course the stuff recorded from TV was always butchered in some way; not including the fact that you had to deal with the dang commercials. When CBS started releasing some VHS versions in the 90's, I wasn't sold at all. There were only a handful of random episodes on each tape AND each tape was kind of pricey.

Even when CBS finally released the series on DVD a few years back, something was still missing. Wasn't until they put together TZ - The Complete Definitive Collection that this series gets the release it deserves.

Every episode is included in this collection seperated by season. Each episode is presented whole and complete including Rod Serling's special preview segment which I've never had the chance to see before getting this collection. There are many many specials including commentary from some of the original stars, unbelievable!

Of course I have many favorite episodes and memories from this magical series. One episode in particular that I am very fond of is "A Passage for Trumpet" starring Jack Klugman. I relate deeply to the transformative quality of this story and greatly admire Klugman's intensity and creativity in portraying this character.

No doubt Twilight Zone is a very very special series and finally there is a complete DVD release that properly showcases the wonder and magic of The Twilight Zone. Long live Rod Serling and long live Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection!

"We will bring you the limp and beaten body of Bob Barker" 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

RELAX...the quote in my review title is straight from Season Five. No actual Bob Barker was harmed during the filming of this review.

As Season Five opens, this show had safely made the full transition from Sunnydale High to the college years, and instead of getting entrenched in "Buffy Hills 90210" petty collegiate fluff, it headed straight into death, loss, and gut-wrenching emotions.

As a season-long central villain, Glory mixes the every-hair-in-place diva obsession of Cordelia with the twisted and consistently disturbing psyche of Drusilla (who returns to find her ex-lover Spike "tired of playing" her kind of games). Glory's "minions" provide fawning comic relief in an otherwise heavy season (one of them is the source of the quote mentioned above). Think "Smithers" from "The Simpsons" in little ogre bodies.

The new "central hub" for meetings is Giles' new business venture, the magic shop. After witnessing the death of the store's umpteenth owner, he sees profit in his future, buys the store, and hires Anya as his cashier (more comic relief). Naturally, it also becomes a favorite visiting place of demons with heavy blunt objects, who inflict thousands of dollars worth of damage on the store and its merchandise as the season progresses.

There's some closure with the characters of Riley and Buffy's mom (hence much of the season's dire weight), as well as the show's writers filling in the blanks on the mystery / backstory of Buffy's little sister Dawn (and her link to Glory).

It would have been extremely easy for the show's creators to play it safe in Season Five by establishing a formula and cranking out tiresome episode after episode. They chose to do the opposite...to take some big risks, to pull out some major surprises, to defy expectations.

There's a significant emphasis on Spike in Season Five, culminating in a "spoiler moment" that comes at the end of Episode 18, "Intervention." As actor James Marsters has mentioned on a number of occasion, Whedon's original plan for the character was to kill him off after his initial appearance. Luckily for the series, they took a sharp left turn and decided to develop Spike into one of the show's most memorable characters.

In the Season Four box set, there's some discussion of the episode "Hush." Apparently someone told creator Joss Whedon that THE reason for the show's success...the SINGLE REASON...was the dialogue between Buffy and the other characters, the verbal interplay. It was shortly after receiving that feedback that Whedon decided to craft an episode that was completely silent after the first few minutes.

I've got to believe that a similar desire to defy expectations and "think outside of the box" went into the production of this season.

Buffy's Darkest Season 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This might be the strangest season of Buffy. The villains for most of the season are bumbling idiots (despite the fact that they're super-geniuses with demonology, magic, and robotics). This is the only season where the greatest challenges the Scooby Gang must face don't actually come from the "Big Bad." Instead, most of the serious problems that arise are a result of internal conflict. This is even true of the battle at the end of the season. Even though the crisis is set in motion by Warren of the Trio, the conflict is between members of the gang.

Without giving too much away, this season features the total loss of innocence for all of the main characters. This season is depressing, but it is probably the closest analogue of real life that the show ever has to offer. The characters in Buffy are not perfect people. They have their flaws, and they make some very bad choices (understatement!). Those that survive find ways to cope, and they carry on. I agree with some critics that it is difficult to watch our beloved Buffy characters self-destructing, but their behavior shows that they really are human. By the end of this season, all of the characters have gone through some huge changes. Season six isn't the most fun of all of the seven great years of Buffy, but it very well may end up being one of my favorites. The characters show that they really are incredible because they manage to face their own faults and demons in a way that few people can.

In the end, Buffy is an excellent show because it features clever humor, imaginative villains and dilemmas, exciting action sequences, and lots of hot chicks (Hey, you know that's part of it!). The reason Buffy is a great show is that the actors, writers, and directors really did an awesome job, and the characters are so very real.

Editorial Review:

Buffy is sixteen years old and is the "chosen one" . She gets to kill vampires because it is her destiny to do so. She had a bad reputation at her old school in Los Angeles because she had burned the gym down. The principal at her new school at first rips up her records and then tapes her records back together again. Buffy tries to explain that the gym at her old school had to be burned down because it was full of vampires! Buffy and her mom just want a fresh start in their new suburban California home where the good part of town is half a block away from the bad part of town. In her new high school Buffy meets an eccentric librarian who knows that Buffy is the "chosen one". At first the librarian scares her away by showing her a book about vampires but then she returns to the library knowing that the librarian can help her out with fighting off vampires and other supernatural things.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 024543233268 Manufacturer No: 2233326

Let's just hope they got the transfer done nice and clean this time as the THX anamorphic release done a few years ago had picture problems with Fight the future. No matter where I purchased it.(8 different copies) They all had the same problem. A line going across the screen just about the middle of the picture for the first half of the movie.(Seemed to be a layer problem as when the layer changed at the dead end road before the train scene it went away) FOX says we have never heard about or seen this problem but they would not watch the disc when I ask them to as well. THX won't even respond as well. The first release that was letterbox (4x3) format was clean no problem there but the anamorphic picture is much better when made correctly plus they added DTS to that as well. I have high hope's it will look great on Blu-Ray. We will see.

Lacking the Greatness of the Former Seasons... 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Now, I just recently got into Buffy, and I have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed with the 7th season. I miss the focus on our main three characters, and thought that should have been the point, especially in the last season, but no, the entire focus was shifted to the Potentials, who, by the way, bored me to death. I mean, don't you think this should have been brought up AGES ago, if it was going to be this significant in the final season? Urgh. It's like the final season is a whole new show, one I don't really care for. Nothing happens. Everyone's character is twisted, and nothing like themselves. Everything was just done wrong.
I'm still going to read the season eight comics, just to see if those improve, and I'm really hoping they do, because this was just cringe-worthy.
