Boy was I wrong about this show.. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I admit it, I only got into this show because it was on right after Smallville. I knew Jensen Ackles from his one season on Smallville, and honestly I wasn't that into his role as Jason on that show. I thought the idea for two ghostbusting brothers sounded kind of dumb, but I watched the premier anyway, and I have been hooked ever since. Dean's smart-a$$ mouth, the Impala, and the excellent plots keep things lively. They come up with some very imaginative and clever plots, not just hunting down and killing another ghost each week. This show can be really unpredictable; just when you think you know what's about to happen, it goes in a totally different direction. I feel this show is one of the most underrated and unfairly neglected shows on tv. It has some very intelligent writing and plots, it can scare you at times, and make you laugh as well.

Editorial Review:

Bound by tragedy and blood to a dangerous, otherworldly mission, two brothers travel in mysterious back roads of the country in their '67 Chevy Impala, searching for their missing father--and hunting down every evil supernatural force they encounter along the way. Bring home all 22 episodes of the first season of the thrilling new show, Supernatural along with must-own bonus features. Supernatural is a completely new kind of thrill ride that takes viewers on a journey into the dark world of the unexplained.

Robin Williams as Mork - funny even then.. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

We have all of the DVDs - our only regret is that the Mork show was only on tv for a few seasons. Robin William in his early days - extremely funny from the beginning and Pam Dauber is wonderful as Mindy too!

Great show for all times! 5 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed watching this now as an adult, more so than when I was a teenager. I was able to catch a lot of things I didn't get back then, and needless to say that this is one zany show. Robin Williams was brilliant and there couldn't be a better counterpart than Pam Dawber to handle the crazyness in her own sweetness. I particularly enjoyed the episodes featuring Exodur (did I spell that right?). Only Mork would understand Exodur's mission so well! The sound and overall quality of the DVD is excellent and my recomendation goes to both the old Mork & Mindy's fans as well as the upcoming generation. This is truly good entertainment.

Editorial Review:

A spin-off from the hit show "Happy Days," MORK & MINDY stars Robin Williams as the lovable alien from the planet Ork. Sent to Earth by his fellow Orkans who see him as a misfit, Mork is assigned to observe the customs of the crazy Earthlings. Landing in a giant eggshell in Boulder, Colorado, Mork is soon befriended by Mindy McConnell (Dawber) a music store clerk, and allowed to stay in the attic of her apartment.

Great show 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I never watched much of Angel when it was on the air. I didn't watch Buffy either, but I had always wanted to watch both based on the reviews and word of mouth. I saw just enough to tantalize but I always was reticent about diving into something half way through.
So earlier this year I bought the entire Buffy series on DVD and watched it in about two months, from start to finish. It went beyond my expectations with the great writing, intriguing stories, and interesting characters. So after finishing it I ended up getting Angel, to see where his story led to after he left Sunnydale.
Though both series were different I appreciated how they tied together for the four years they were on at the same time.

Buffy always had a more specific path to follow whereas Angel is much more meandering, with no real "Big Bad" that haunts him throughout an entire season. We get to see Angel and the supporting cast all shift, change, transform, and mature in so many different ways throughout the series, making it easy for me to attach to them and enjoy them both at their best and worst.
People have told me that Angel was darker than Buffy. For me, it was more that he did not have a specific path to follow. "We help the helpless" was the mantra for a long time but even with that it gets a little hazy in Angel's world as to what is supposed to happen. For Buffy, it was always clearer. At least the big picture.

Both series have so much to offer for fans that it would be hard for me to say which I liked better. Most of the folks who would think to pick up either series on DVD probably already have their minds made up and were previous fans. So I consider myself lucky that I was able to cough up the dough for both series and was able to watch them both, for the first time, episode to episode, back to back.

Come with me if you want to live! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Taking place between the second and third installments of the Terminator film franchise, this series follows the lives of azzkickin' Sarah Connor as she tries to keep her young son alive long enough to grow up into the leader of the human rebellion.
Though at first I did not like Lena Headly as Sarah...she grew on me, and has proven herself in the roll. The friendly terminator "Cameron" played by Summer Gleu is magically babe-0-licious. The only real detraction for me was The actor who played John, and the way the character was written, but as the season progressed the Character became less emo and more of what one could imagine John would be.
I loved the first season...have watched it several times..and I can't wait for the secound season set.
..and just fyi..I have never purchased a television show season set before this one..and this one is worth every cent!

I ordered this almost a month ago and I still haven't recieved it and I have tried to communicate with the seller and they haven't answered me.

Best first season of any series. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I loved this show on broadcast, and I love it more on DVD. I could mention that it could use more DVD-exclusive content and special features, I do love commentary tracks. But, this is a minor issue by comparison. This is, bar none, the best opening season for any television series. Perhaps the second season wasn't all that it could be, and the third season is almost up to standards, but those are separate concerns. Here's the bottom line: Get this DVD collection. Get it and see what I mean. It is genius, from start to finish.

The Venture Bros. second season took a show that was already terrific and WAY too good and sophisticated for [adult swim] and amped it up like ten notches. The animation is great and easily the best looking thing [adult swim] has every produced on its own, the designs are amazing, so many memorable and richly realized characters, funny and very pointed writing, and this seasons episodes have an arc that eventually leads to a two-part climax that is far more satisfying than most live action shows currently on the air. Kudos to Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick for turning out such consistently funny and entertaining show. If you're not watching it, you need to start and the sooner the better.

Editorial Review:

An inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoons such as "Johnny Quest," The Venture Bros., follows the bizarre mis-adventures of Hank and Dean who believe themselves to be an unusually gifted team of "brains" and "braun" while actually possessing very little of either. The boys travel the world with their renowned scientist-father, Doctor Venture -- and treat even the most mundane situation as a bold new adventure. As a result, they often find themselves in danger with a host of oddball villains -- but rarely find their way out. The rely instead on their body-guard/undercover government agent Brock Sampson, voiced by Patrick Warburton of "The Tick" and "Seinfeld" fame, to save them.

Season 4 starts off with a couple of exciting episodes, and with the cast change and addition of Amanda Tapping (Sam) it gives the series a fresh start. Lots of adventure in this series.

Best Season of Atlantis yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Season 4 was an incredible season for storyline. The opening episodes set the tone for the whole season. The first half of Season 4 offer some of the best done episodes of either Stargate series and the mid-season 3 part episode is incredible. The return of a beloved friend with a very emotional scene expands Michael's storyline dramatically. The finale is very unique to any season of Stargate. Well done on all fronts!

Stargate = win 5 out of 5 stars.

I'm a huge fan of Stargate SG-1. When I heard of SG Atlantis, I was a bit skeptical, but over the seasons this show has become one of my favorites. Season 4 is just as good as the rest. Definitely a must buy for any Stargate fan.

Stargate Atlantis Season 4 Great SEASON 5 out of 5 stars.

WOW!! What a Great Season Stargate Atlantis brought us this past year. Amanda Tapping leading the way on Atlantis with Col. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), with Rodney(David Hewlett), Rachel Luttrell & Jason Momoa. This was an action packed season and season 5 will bring us with a lot more action. Now if only the producer's and writer's only keep Stargate Atlantis going for all us fans. Keep an eye out for Stargate Universe next summer 2009 and any movies for the future. Let's keep Atlantis alive with SG-1.

Absolutely LOVE this cartoon. Besides Project Runway (yeah, I know, but everyone has to have a vice) this is the only show I actually watch regularly. And even thought I see every episode on TV (usually multiple times) it's one of those DVDs, like one of my favorite movies, that I have around for that rainy day when nothing else will fill the spot. I absolutely love this cartoon!!

Editorial Review:

Once a child prodigy, Dr. Venture now fails as both a scientist and father. Luckily, his twins, Hank and Dean are too stupid to care. And they've got their vicious, macho bodyguard, Brock, looking out for them. Together they'll get in all sorts of situations involving wild alligators, street ruffians, and booby traps. Brock really likes the booby traps.

Battlestar Galactica season 3 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Battlestar Galactica - Season Three Season three starts on New Caprica with bonus web episodes, Resistance, to whet the appetite for the first full ep of season three. All in all this pack is full of extras, more than you find on any other TV shows DVD pack. It's a full season pass, both with the actors and producers but the rest of the Galactica team, who make this one of the best shows in television history, and I aint just talking sci-fi here. The high points as always is Olmos, Sackoffe and McDonnell, who are always on their game, and of course my faves Grace Park and Tahmoh Penikett, have to admit they throw a couple of my faves actors out the air lock no more Jammer,Dominic Zamprogna. The low point is Jamie (I am a trained actor) Bamber whose stories as well as acting detract from another wise perfect season and cast. The third season the producers Eick and Moore give us an almost uncompromised television drama experience, that treats the viewer like they have a brain other than pandering to the expected happy endings and clean finishes they challenge the viewer (case in point the final five or four, this discovery is like the end of the miniseries when Boomer was revelled as a cylon...season three give you that same felling NOOOOOOOOOOO!). So season three is, Other than the miscast Apollo, still shines as Tv's Finest

Editorial Review:

The adventure of one of television's finest dramas continues with the complete third season of the Peabody Award-winning Battlestar Galactica. The Colonies' survivors have found their hopes of eluding their Cylon pursuers dashed by an invasion and occupation of their new home. As the fate of all human life hangs in the balance, friends become enemies, enemies become unexpected allies, and decisions are made that will haunt some people for the rest of their lives. Relive all 20 episodes of the season that challenges everything you thought you knew about the Battlestar Galactica universe. Presented in Dolby 5.1 surround sound, the 6-disc set features over 15 hours of extensive special features, including the DVD exclusive version of the episode "Unfinished Business" containing 25 additional minutes of never-before-seen footage. You won't want to miss a minute of the series considered "one of the best dramas on TV" (Time Magazine).
