Editorial Review:

Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) communicates with earthbound spirits, ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar plane of existence that we call life. Inspired in part by the work of famed medium James Van Praagh and of Mary Ann Winkowski, a real-life communicator with spirits, GHOST WHISPERER explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the dead and the living in her sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt. Jim (David Conrad), her husband, worries about the emotional toll this work is taking on his wife as they embark on a new life together. Andrea, her friend and business partner in their antique store, is fascinated by Melinda's talent. Melinda is somewhat reluctant to reveal her "gift" to new friend Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), a single mom who lives in Grandview, fearing the consequences of drawing her into this "unconventional" world. For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime a curse, but always helps her clients--alive or dead--find emotional closure.

Great! 5 out of 5 stars.

I already own Season One, so this just built on my collection. Holly, Bridget, and Kendra are the cutest girls ever and I enjoyed watching their surreal life. They all have wonderful personalities and I plan on getting Season Three.

Worth the price! 4 out of 5 stars.

I must admit this is the only show I watch that really is "trash", but it is really enjoyable! If you like that type of thing, this DVD set is great to own if you can find it for $15. There is a commentary for every episode by the girls which is enjoyable enough if your not REALLY paying attention and its better than watching on the tube because no censors.

Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars.

I MIGHT BE FEMALE BUT THE BEAUTY OF THIS GIRLS AND THEY AMBITIONS KEEPS ME ADDICTED TO THE SERIES.
I AM A HUGH FAN OF HOLLY AND I FEEL SHE IS GOING TO BECOME SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT TO THE PLAYBOY MAGAZINE.

Beautiful! 5 out of 5 stars.

I liked Season 1, but I LOVE Season 2. In the first season, you kind of get to know the girls in a one-dimensional way -- Holly the house mother, Bridget the super-cute semi-intellectual and Kendra the not-too-bright sports fan.

This time around, there is a lot more to see and learn. Not only do the girls show their gorgeous bodies way more this time, but you also get a more rounded view of who they are. Who would have guessed that Kendra actually has a brain? Mind you, just when you're beginning to think that she might just be the next Einstein, hiding away a super-intellect behind the dumb-blonde facade, she comes out with something mind-numbingly stupid (and quite sincere) to dispel that notion! On the other hand, she's always very pleasant to look at, and you get to see much more of her in this season than the first. Bridget, the most beautiful of the three, shows off her goofy side this time, but she's still just as adorable.

The highlight of the season is when the girls get their second Playboy photo-shoot. This time around, in addition to the standard session as per Hef's wishes, the girls get to show their creative side. Each one chooses her own theme and directs the shoot, featuring herself and the other two girls. Holly chooses a Marilyn Monroe theme, Bridget indulges her love of King Kong, and in Kendra's case, it's American Football (what else?). They do such a great job of it that contrary to their own expectations (and his) Hef actually loves their work and decides to feature their projects in the magazine. There is way more and better nudity this season, and along with the way we get to know the girls, this makes for the perfect package.

Geek Smart 3 out of 5 stars.

"Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control"
(Hoobastank)


Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Bruce (Masi Oka) and Lloyd (Nate Torrence) are gadget geeks working for the secret spy agency CONTROL
2. They develop an invisibility cloak
3. It gets stolen
4. They have to get it back


This is a simultaneous spin-off to the movie "Get Smart", allegedly taking part during the time frame of the movie. About five other movie characters appear in this very short (71 minutes) parody, some only as brief cameos.

It's not great cinema, but it manages to raise a few chuckles without resorting to potty humor, foul language, tired sight gags or gross-out scenes.

Exactly what you thought it'd be
For something straight to DVD
It has no wisdom to impart
And won't push viewers to "Get Smart"

I didn't buy this set, but if I did I may have saved a *few* bucks. I got season 1-3 as they came out. Anyway, This show is about a woman who sees the dead, she got the gift from her grandmother but after a while you learn her mother has the gift also. She has a loving husband who is very accepting of the gift. I recall during one episode he mentioned that he works so hard on his job tryin to save lives cause hes afraid that if someone dies they will go running to his wife. ( he is a fireman ). They have their sad moments, silly moments, after a while they even adopt a ghost dog. Which she tries to figure out how to cross over. She and her husband seem to be the perfect couple through the whole series and you grow to love them. She has a best friend, who knows her secret. Who leaves for some reason I won't tell everything, she gains a new best friend.. who isn't as accepting of her gift.. and well. Its a great series and i LOVE it. cant get enough of it. Jennifer Love is wonderful. Beautiful, and acts great. Im sure anyone who enjoys shows like medium or supernatural would LOVE this show as well. Any questions, bug me.. id be more than happy to answer them.
Once i get the time ill do a review of every episode, one by one :)

The color, sound and quality of this DVD set is a solid 10 out of 10. For some reason I do not remember watching this show when it was on TV in 1965. However it is easy to get hooked on this series. I highly recommend it.

Great series! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Gidget was a great, uplifting, lighthearted series back when it aired, and it was great to relive the times. Interesting that there were a couple of episodes that would have people up in arms today, but back then it was a more innocent time. Overall, great series, glad I watched them again, and then gave them to my sister Maryann for her birthday! :)

The Actors Find Their Characters 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The lead actors have all found their characters by the second half of Season 2. They seem to wear their TV personas like comfortable old coats. For those of you who are not familiar with the radio series that gave rise to the TV encarnation, give special attention to the episode entitled "Skid Row". It will give you an idea of the kind of adult approach to the western for which it was famous. It was writing like this that set Gunsmoke apart from all other 50's westerns. I can't wait for the release of Season 3. I wish they would go back to the full season sets. I don't object to the increase in price, just to having the season broken up and the series' release delayed.

GUNSMOKE SEASON 2 VOL. 2. 5 out of 5 stars.

I AM A HUGE FAN OF THE "GUNSMOKE" TV SERIES, THIS DVD SET IS VOL.2 OF SEASON 2, WHICH ARE EPISODES I HAVE NEVER SEEN. THIS IS DEFINATELY A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN OF THE SHOW. CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3!!! NADINE

Editorial Review:

Marshal Matt Dillon is responsible for keeping the law and respectability in Dodge City in this western action-drama. Gunsmoke captured the courage, character and spirit of the Western Frontier.

What a great show!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I remember watching this growing up and even when I enjoy it at the time I didn't realise how funny it really is. Can't complain here, purchased it for laughs and is just what I got for my money. "Surprise, surprise, surprise" (jajaja) funny, funny, funny.

Good Entertainment for the Entire Family 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Gomer Pyle is another show in a string of classic sitcoms from the 1960s that still provides hours of enjoyment. The first season debuted at number three in the TV ratings which is pretty good for the first season of any show. A major factor for the quick success was that the character of Gomer Pyle appeared for several years on the Andy Griffith show. Even without that exposure, Gomer Pyle would still have enjoyed great success it just would have taken a little longer. The following episodes in Season 1 are my favorites and are classics by any standard:

1. Private Ralph Skunk - Gomer adopts a pet skunk
2. Pay Day - Gomer is accused of loafing by Sgt Carter. Gomer then refuses to collect his pay even at the insistence of the Pentagon.
3. Survival of the Fattest - Gomer and Sgt Carter are paired together for a five-day survival test
4. Sergeant Carter, Marine Babysitter - Because of Gomer, Sgt Carter ends up babysitter an infant instead of going on his date.
5. Sergeant of the Week - Sgt Carter believes that Gomer is dying and goes to extreme lengths to make his last days as comfortable as possible.
6. Love Letters to the Sarge - In order to make Sgt Carter feel good, Gomer starts writing him anonymous lover letters.
7. Officer Candidate Gomer Pyle - Sgt Carter and Gomer both take the Officer Training exam and Gomer obtains a higher score.
8. Gomer Makes the Honor Guard - Sgt Carter needs to select 4 men for the honor guard and he tries everything to keep Gomer from being selected.
9. The Jet Set - Gomer is sent on an errand and ends up on an international flight. (This is my favorite episode in Season 1 and very well may be one of the funniest 30 minutes of comedy ever seen on TV. Basically, Gomer is ordered by Sgt Carter to purchase a specific brand of cigars for a visiting general. Because of his friend Duke, Gomer unwittingly ends up on an international flight to Italy, France, and England. Along the way Gomer calls Sgt Carter to let him know that he is still on his errand to get the cigars. Carter becomes suspicious when he hears foreign voices in the background.)

The 30 episodes in Season 1 will provide endless hours of enjoyment for the entire family. I highly recommend it.

Editorial Review:

Gomer Pyle, a naive country boy, leaves his home in Mayberry, NC to join the U.S. Marine corps. His perpetual wide-eyed innocence frequently gets on the nerves of his tough, loudmouthed sergeant. A successful spin-off from THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW.

Back on the farm 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Who would have thought you can have a farm and live self sufficient in a suburb, but that is just what tom and Barbara did. It sure doesn't helpiving next door to snooty Margo. A very entertaining and belly laugh comedy.

Great collection of a classic series 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I used to watch this show when I was growing up, and seeing it again has brought back some great memories (plus now I get the more adult-oriented humor.) The show itself is just a fantastic comedy. Every character is lovable in their own way, and the humor varies from subtle to obvious. Also, as an American I enjoy listening to the language used in 70's London. You can read the synopsis yourself, I'll only say that if you enjoy class-oriented humor, and can tolerate not knowing what every word means, you'll love this show.

A Good Presentation 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I hadn't seen this series in decades and remembered it as being very funny; I'm a huge fan of anything with Penelope Keith. In this series about a suburban couple going self-sufficient, Ms. Keith plays Margo, their snobbish neighbor.

I have to admit that after one of the DVD's, the basic premise for the series started getting stale. Could just be me, but they seemed to stretch the series out for too many episodes.

However, it is amusing, and it's a good price. Video quality is good to excellent.

I really enjoyed watching this for what I missed. Seeing actors I didn't realized were there before they had grown, seeing the whole thing with new eyes. I had remembered this show with fondness and still love the song track. Even now, after I've grown, it is still entertaining and fun to watch.

In this season, Ralph pitches in the World Series, prevents World War III, suffers amnesia, joins the circus, battles bad bikers, voodoo vengeance, a fast-food mascot and much more, all with the help of his attorney girlfriend Pam Davidson (Connie Selleca) and FBI agent Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp).
