Charmed season 2 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This dvd season was one that you will want to watch until you have watched all 6 discs and then you will want to watch all of the seasons. The prices for the sets are cheap here on amazon, I checked some of the local stores and they were about ten dollars more than you can buy them off of amazon. Shannon Doherty,Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano are great actresses and these are dvd's that you will want to watch again and again.

Editorial Review:

In CHARMED, the three Halliwell sisters have accepted their destiny of protecting the innocent and vanquishing evil doers, even though that is generally not on the agenda of every twenty-something on the fast track to discovering what life’s all about. Prue (Doherty), the oldest, is driven to succeed and dislikes the free-spirited antics of the youngest sister Phoebe (Milano). Piper (Combs), the earthy middle sister, mediates between her siblings. Prue has the power to move objects, Piper to freeze time and Phoebe to see the future. The sisters must band together to protect themselves, and the world, from the dark, demonic forces that seek to destroy them.

Quit Picking At It, Like It or Leave It 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Living in Las Vegas, the last thing I wanted to see was a show about this city on television. Having lived here most of my life, I didn't see anything interesting about it.

So, when CSI: Crime Scene Investigation came along, I decided to give it a try and see what it had to offer. Maybe it would be interesting, after all I enjoyed Profiler until it was cancelled; and this was similiar, yet only to a point.

30 minutes into CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, I fell asleep. And, each time I would watch the episodes, I'd nod off. After a few times, I gave it up. (Nothing personal to the cast, but they were not that interesting).

But to each their own. If one likes it and another doesn't; it doesn't make it a wrong choice, just personal choices and certainly you shouldn't be comparing the way something is done in one city to what is done in another. We are all looking for something different when we watch TV, and that fuels the choices we make.

In 2002, another CSI was coming out, this time with David Caruso as the lead actor and set in Miami. I was thinking Miami Vice with David Caruso; not a pretty sight, but worth a try.

Tried it I did, and got hooked (so hooked I own season 1-4 on DVD) and watch it whenever time permits.

Here I am, now 5 years later, looking forward to getting season 5 on DVD (I have to wait until Christmas cause someone in my family decided it'd be funny to give it to me as a gift).

I find the characters compelling and more approachable, the kind of people you'd call for help.

Yes (biting my own tongue), that even includes Caruso's "Horatio Caine"; one of the best characters on the series. Tough when he has to be, compassionate where it warrants, never once forgetting about the families that are left behind. That to me is his only concern, and that is where it should be. It's that commitment I am attracted to.

Yes, he threatens dirtbags (oh my favorite parts of the episodes), but think about this, you would want Caine on your side to find your loved one's killer and would want him to do everything he could to ensure justice was done. No, you wouldn't like it if you were guilty of a crime, who would?

He's good with women and children, having perhaps too much of a protective instinct, which is lacking in today's society. Maybe that's why some people dislike his character. (Note: Caine's father killed his mother when he was younger, so there might be a reason for his attitude).

His tricks or nuances are his way of letting those around him know that he is always thinking, thinking about ways to get one step ahead of the killer and bring him/her to justice. Not to mention those little "nuances" make the suspect nervous, if you're guilty he will make you squirm.

The science is at times gruesome, then again, murder isn't pretty. We seem to forget that.

Alexx talking to the victims reminds us that these were once people too, that they had families, they were not just something that was discarded as trash.

We forget too often after people are dead that they were here and touched someone's life. We forget that they were someone's mother, father, daughter, son, brother, sister. They started out their day planning in some cases to come home to all of us, but fate intervened.

Alexx reminds us of this, and I personally like it. We need to be reminded of the consequences of greed, corruption and personal desires.

As far as Calleigh, Eric, Speed (who I miss in the series) and the rest of the CSI: Miami team, they are a diverse group that reminds us how workplace politics play a crucial role in how outcomes are determined; they have dedicated their lives to putting criminals behind bars and finding closure for the families.

Some of the stories are interesting, some make you think, and others are about par for the course when it comes to reality.

If you like it, you like it, there is no explaining it; you either have it on DVD or are planning to get it.

If you don't like it, no one is making you watch it or buy it, so leave it alone (clothing is clothing, I can dress like a model by buying certain clothes at Walmart). Don't waste your money, you're better off getting something you do like.

If you don't like the acting, don't watch it. This is after all--FICTION. The telling of a story that's purpose is to entertain.

And, I plan to keep watching as long as it's on.

Lacking, but still brilliant. 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I actually find this season quite a joy to view. The reason I only give it four stars is the diminished presance of Phylicia Rahsad on camera. [It's almost as if you see more of Denise, the Hillman freshman, than you do of Clair.] Even knowing that she was on maternity restriction carrying then-husband Ahmad's fourth child doesn't really make up for the absence of Clair Huxtable during the middle part of the season. Although, I've got to admit, the tricks they played to mask her pregnancy are pretty charming, in retrospect.

Having gotten past that issue, this set still includes some of my favourite moments in the whole series ("Food for Thought," "Cliff In Charge," "Rudy Spends the Night," "Calling Dr. Huxtable," "The Shower," "I know that You Know" and "Bald and Beautiful." Also of significant note is the season finale, "Hillman," in which all seven Huxtables convine at Dr. & Mrs. Huxtable's alma mater (which never really existed) to honor its retiring president (Joe Seneca guesting). There, we hear Clair soloing with the college choir (I believe that's really Phylicia's voice). Partly on the heels of this episode, we see the creation of a spinoff show, A Diffeent World, which takes place right there at Hillman College.

I actually found the menu-diving very comprehensive and had no trouble navigating the options. And, the dual-act set-up is ideal, when there's a specific piece of an episode you want to see (such as the latter half of "You Only Hurt the Ones You Love"). Then again, I've only liked playing individual episodes. I would've liked to see a bonus section, containing commentary or season bloopers, as with Season 2. But, what can you do? Jay Sandrich and company can only do so much at once.

Editorial Review:

The Cosby Show appeared on NBC from 1984 to 1992, becoming one of the most popular programs in the history of television. The Cosby Show depicted a close-knit and prosperous African-American family (The Huxtables) that dwelled in New York City. Dr. Heathcliff (OB-GYN) and Clair (attorney) Huxtable were a happily married, dual-profession couple with aspirations of raising their 5 children in an uplifting, positive environment. The Cosby Show held TV's #1 slot for a record 5 consecutive years (1985 to 1990) and stayed in the Top 20 shows for all eight seasons it was on NBC.

I am a huge Dave Chappelle fan. I got this video for a friend/co-worker who also enjoys him but didn't have the dvd. Since the show has been cancelled, all we have our memories and this is a dvd I own, as well as the second season, that stays in heavy rotation. You always see something new you may have missed and it is guarenteed laughs, if you are a Chappelle Show fan.

VERY FUNNNYYYY! 5 out of 5 stars.

I do not usually buy TV series DVDs, or comedies. But after seeing both seasons of the Chappelles Show I had to own them. Both series are well worth the money and will be watched repeatedly.

Craziest Comedy Ever!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the funniest comedy skits i have ever seen. It brings up racism and other stereotypes in the way they should be looked at, in a funny way. we all have them and laughing at them is good. Chappelle is in the top list of comdians to me and to most of the world. You will be laughing for days and days after reminding your friends of the shows. Guaranteed to make you laugh on my part.Platinum Comedy Series - Dave Chappelle - Killin' Them SoftlyDave Chappelle - For What It's Worth

hi i watched the series off and on when it was originally on TV but i must say now that i am older and watching the show in order. i can honestly say i love the show the special effects rock. the cast has great chemistry and the stars pack a punch with Witty dialog and a very sexy show for TV since the bra-less nipple alert in a lot of episodes would not make it on the main networks thanks wb for all the mammaries you are missed Duane

Editorial Review:

Protecting the innocent, vanquishing evil and evil doers, and generally righting wrongs are not exactly on the agenda of every twenty-something on the fast track to discovering what life's all about. But for the Halliwell sisters, this has become their destiny. Prue, the oldest, is driven to succeed and dislikes the free-spirited antics of the youngest sister Phoebe. Piper, the earthy middle sister, mediates between her siblings. Phoebe discovers The Book of Shadows in the attic and their witchly powers are activated, igniting a bond that reaches beyond petty, sisterly grudges. Prue has the power to move objects, Piper to freeze time and Phoebe to see the future. The sisters must band together to protect themselves, and the world, from the dark, demonic forces that seek to destroy them. It's an existence fraught with excitement and danger, but these three unique sisters wouldn't trade their "charmed" lives for anything.

CSI Las Vegas still the best after 7 years 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The seventh season of the original CSI (Las Vegas) is a wonderful rollercoaster of suspense with the minature killer storyline and even some light hearted fun with the episode Lab Rats.

The commentaries are really interesting and the behind the scenes featurettes add more light and shade to the episodes especially ones about the minature killer. If you are a fan of Cirque du Soleil and CSI all your dreams come true in the opening episode when a dead body is discovered at Cirque's Las Vegas show KA. There is even a featurette that shows how the episode was filmed and behind the scenes at KA.

Editorial Review:

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a fast-paced drama about a passionate team of forensic investigators trained to solve crimes the old-fashioned way - by examining the evidence. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is on the case 24-7, scouring the scene, collecting the irrefutable evidence and finding the missing pieces that will solve the mystery.

Best comedy writing on TV 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I have always felt that the Cheers writers during the first few seasons put together the funniest and most poignant sit-coms I have ever seen on TV. The first season showed consistently high quality in the writing. From the opening episode when Diane first comes into Cheers and winds up with a job, to the final episodes when Sam finally deals with his life-long jealousy of his brother, the timing is consistently excellent and the cast shows a real chemistry. The episode involving Sam's lucky bottlecap and how he licked his drinking problem will bring tears to your eyes. The episode in which Sam hires a murderer to date Diane is also here and funny as ever. These DVDs present the complete episodes, not the truncated versions now seen in syndication, so you will see footage, especially before the opening credits, that has not been seen on TV since the originals were presented. The secondary characters, especially Norm and Coach, flesh out the depth of the Cheers experience, and present priceless opportunities for hilarious one-liners. For Cheers fans, this is the real thing.

Editorial Review:

CHEERS takes viewers back to the Boston bar where everybody knows your name. As former baseball star Sam Malone (Danson) and his colleague Diane Chambers (Long) fight their mutual attractions, they cater to their regulars including Norm Petersen (Wendt) and Cliff Claven (Ratzenberger). Talking about their problems, laughing at each other’s flaws and trying to be there when someone needs them, the gang are joined by naïve farm boy Woody (Harrelson, The Thin Red Line), bitter waitress Carla (Perlman), troubled psychiatrist Frasier (Grammer) and his wife.

I do not always like police series but this is a different type from most so this is a good series overall, I just wish that they would do more bonus features. I especially like the features that use real CSI to explain what is going on in the show.

Each season is well written. I watch each season from first episode to last; it doesn't matter if I've seen the episode before. Well written, sometimes far fetched, but definitely entertaining enough to get my mind going in the process.

Editorial Review:

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.
