If you like Harvey (like my sons do) then you need to get the third season. It was easily the best to date!
Especially enjoyable for those who have purchased the original Birdman cartoons is the first episode. This installment lampoons the original series resulting in the best Harvey Birdman episode by far. It "explains" why Harvey gave up being a superhero for a law career.
There is another hilarious Birdgirl episode. The "tasteful" but lowbrow comedy that my teenagers can't seem to get enough of.
The Deadly Duplicator makes his appearance in a avalanche of running gags. The side references to Blade Runner and other old movies and shows had to be explained - but didn't detract.
Overall there isn't a single episode that fails to entertain.

Editorial Review:

HERE IT IS! HARVEY BIRDMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW, THE THIRD DVD! Yep, that's right: THE THIRD DVD! How many shows can say they've got three DVD-- I'm sorry? All right. "Green Acres," but that was a classic. How many recent sho-- "Full House"? SIX DVDs?! You've gotta be kidding! Friggin Saget. All right, how many animated, 15 minute shows with horny hippopotami and nearly incenstuous one-eyed father/superhero daughter relationships have three DVDs? That's right, smart slacks: One. And it's "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law." And this is its third DVD.

Simply Awful 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Unlike some hardcore fans, I didn't mind Captain Shanks when he took over for the irreplaceable Captain Murphy. But Season 4 changed all that. Whereas Seasons 1 & 2 (and parts of 3) were very amusing, Season 4 isn't funny at all. None of the character developments or jokes are funny in the least. All jokes fall flat, and what little potential some developments had are squandered after they're repeated the umpteenth time (Grizzlebees, anyone?). Whereas the first 2 seasons actually were intelligently quirky, Season 4 needs a lobotomy to enjoy. Avoid it like the plague.

Very surprised, given what I read here 5 out of 5 stars.

I am an extremely dedicated Sealab fan. For a while, I had only seen the first two seasons. Out of dedication, I decided to get the fourth one, despite people's comments about it. I was actually very impressed. I think this is actually stronger than the third season. "Isla de Chupacabra", "Cavemen", "Shrabster", and "Green Fever" are all phenomenal. There were no truly weak episodes. While they did lose Captain Murphy, they compensated by really stepping up all of the other characters, Hesh in particular.

Editorial Review:

Oh, what a difference a year makes. The crew of classic 1972 series Sealab 2020 has been replaced with a gang of misfits unfit for public service. Their mission: to investigate underwater colonization. They are doing a very bad job.

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Back with a vengance, Sealab 2021's hilarious 2nd season really shines! The Bizarro characters are in this season. And my favorite episode when Murphy goes searching for a golf shop in his most hated Pod (I think it was Pod 6) and tries to run over somebody just because he's from that pod, and the lovable (but one episode lived) Squishface, a white blob who reproduces by drinking alcohol, farts as a defense mechanicism and can transform into anything. For those who haven't seen that many episodes will enjoy the classic Tinfins (but what makes this episode funny are the Grizzlebees commercials and Kid'n'Play apperances). One thing I would like to point out is that (although Murphy does appear in 3 or 5 more episodes in the 3rd box set) that after this set, Captain Murphy is gone to fight the Great Spice Wars (but in real life, the guy who played Murphy, Harry Goz, died from cancer and the Sealab creators decided it was best to retire his character, like Phil Hartman with Troy McClure and Lional Hutz from the Simpsons). Murphy was probably the best character in the show because of his personality and the Goz did a great job acting as him. This is a great collection. Anyone who likes Adult Swim shows or anything should like this. I recommend this and the 1st season.

Season Three Of Venture Bros. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 11 people found this review helpful.

Venture Bros. on Adult Swim has always been a great spoof on the original Jonny Quest series. The third season continues with cameo shots of Jonny thirty years on. Questions will be answered on this season : but the one of who was Girlfriend before she met the Monarch and The Phantom Limb . One would think Hajii but he was in a cameo with an older Jonny . Season Four could be aired on Adult Swim this year instead of next.

Mediocre at best 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Yes, I know Harry Goz died a bit into this season, but that's no excuse for some of the low quality jokes in the later episodes. Especially the first one with Shanks. Seasons one and two of the DVD's had some high quality commentary, while the only decent commentary on this set is the first episode with Shanks whereas they let a third party completely rip the episode, and the third season of the series, apart, literally saying "If you bought this I feel bad for you" I swear, its in the commentary and its very true. Season 3 just was not at all entertaining after Murphy died. The best episode of the set is one in the special features that never aired... Overall, I am strongly disappointed. I only gave it a 2 rather than 1 because Harry Goz diserves better.

Ok so maybe not a perfect film, but I stand by my rating 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A lot of TV shows that make it big there is always talks of a possible movie and with the exception of the X-Files it turns out to be nothing, but talk. The biggest problem faced is getting a plot that you would have trouble making into an episode. The Simpsons Movie in my opinion was an excellent movie and while I wouldn't say it was great despite my rating it's one of those movies that is just so entertaining that any flaws that can be found are easy to ignore.

The first half of the movie I found to be the best and it was really just so funny, but the 2nd half doesn't work as well, but it's always funny and always entertaining. Though at times it does sort of feel like an extended episode in my opinion, but again despite any problems I never found anything not to work. Like I stated The Simpsons Movie is just one of those flicks that is so much fun that any flaws can easily be ignored. This is some of the most fun I had watching a movie. The plot does sort of play out like an episode and that's why I said it does sort of feel like an extended episode.

Homer does something that can possibly destroy Springfield, Marge gets fed up and leaves with the kids and in the end Homer does the right thing. We've seen this done countless times on the show, but it still works well and The Simpsons Movie is just a blast to watch from beginning, middle to end.

There were far too many writers to list them all 11 in total and all the writers write for the TV series. Though I have to wonder why it took 11 to write the script, but regardless the script was very solid. As I stated in this review the first half was the best of the movie and the writing was really great. Even in the 2nd half when I felt the movie to slightly lack it was still well written. Watching the TV series I knew what to expect out of the writers, but I think the movie was a lot better written than I thought it would be. I mean I wasn't expecting a bad script or anything, but the script did turn out a lot better than I thought it would.

David Silverman serves as director and like the writers he also works for the show. Obviously someone from the show would direct seeing as who would know better? When it comes to TV shows turned into feature films the best director is always someone involved with the show, people often come up with a wish list, but just because someone is a great director doesn't mean they can turn a TV show into a movie. You still need to stay true to the concept of the show.

In films it's more about the director than writers, where as TV is more about the writers since directors normally don't have much control unless they write or produce the show. So there won't be as much creative freedom and again you have to stay true to the concept. If you watch the show you should know what to expect. Like TV shows, The Simpsons Movie is more driven by the writers, but Silverman does a solid job at taking this from TV series to feature film.

People often underrate Voice actors and the cast of the Simpsons are terrific. All of them really bring so much to the role and Dan Castellaneta is just too funny as Homer. As funny as the writing is it really is Dan Castellaneta's voice for Homer that makes it work so well.

Pretty much all the characters from the show appear and some like Ned Flanders plays a nice size role while others like Principal Skinner is just sort of there, but with only 90-minutes compared to about 22-episodes it's a lot tougher to work in the other characters. But even with screen time lacking for some everything still works out well.

Overall despite the flaws, The Simpsons Movie is just so much fun to watch and even though the 2nd half slumps slightly its never boring and always fun.

Editorial Review:

20th Century The Simpsons Movie (Blu-ray) Homer accidentallycauses an environmental catastrophe which could doom Springfield forever. Homer now must save the city and rescue his family. Springfield's usual characters and new favorites all turn up in the firstever movie length version of the hit TV show, 18 years in the making.

Editorial Review:

Tom Peters, star of the uniquely titled animated series Tom Goes to The Mayor, is a would-be entrepreneur and civic do-gooder in the eccentric small town of Jefferton. Tom's crackpot ideas are invariably endorsed by The Mayor, allowing the series to explore all the comedic possibilities of government machinations, provincial thinking and tragically misguided civic pride. The series is written and produced by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, who also provide voices for the two main characters. Guest voices also include Bob Odenkirk, who also serves as executive producer, as well as Dave Foley, Gary Busey, Judd Hirsch, Janeane Garofalo and Garry Shandling.

This special Family Guy DVD is five episodes hand-picked by series creator Seth MacFarlane. The collection includes the banned episode When You Wish Upon A Weinstein where Peter gets help from a Jewish man for money problems, and Road To Rhode Island where Brian and Stewie goes cross country and gets into very funny situations. The special features includes a "Test Pilot" of MacFarlane's other animated hit, American Dad!
This DVD is a must for any fan of Family Guy.

Editorial Review:

Get ready for five deliciously absurd chapters in the lives of America's most twisted animated family! These are the hand-picked, hands-down favorite episodes of Seth MacFarlen, the delightfully demented genius behind "Family Guy". He'll also treat you to an inside look at the long-awaited return of the series, as well as his newest TV brainchild, "American Dad." What a guy. What a family.

What a "Family Guy" treat!

Editorial Review:

The Hill family is back, and Arlen, Texas has never been wilder or funnier! From love triangles to gay rodeos, through beer shortages and Vietnam flashbacks, and from Mexico to Japan by way of the Renaissance Faire, this is King of the Hill’s craziest season yet! Did we mention Jimmy Carter?It’s all here...and more. Life in Arlen will never be the same!
