Best Unknown Show On Television 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Where would I start with this show? There hasn't been too many shows I've waited for to come on week by week in my life, but this is definitely one of them. Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dea, and Frank are the funniest combination of people on TV since Seinfeld; and this show is pretty much "Seinfeld on crack". If you like shocking, bizarre humor, please buy this DvD or at least tune in Thursday nights at 10:00pm to FX and watch an episode! Also, you can watch any episode through the website.

This series revolves around 4 friends who run a bar in Philadelphia and who go through a variety of difficult but extremely funny and often extravagant situations. I had heard of the series previously but was only convinced of buying it after seeing an intervewi with the actress. What a suprise: this is a somewhat lesscorrect version of Friends meets My Name Is Earl. I agree that this may not be correct at all since this series has no respect for conventional moarl issues such as lying about having cancer, discovering a friend's grandfather was a nazi. It also tackles the strange love men sometimes has for guns ets... In some ways it is difficult to describe and understand if you have not seen this gem of comedy.

A much better, more definitive protrayal of the Hulk 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
If youre a lifelong comic book fan like i am, i can definitely tell you that Louis Letterier's reinterpretion of the Hulk mythos is much better than the 2003 Ang Lee version. Dont get me wrong, in many ways the 03 film has many admirable qualities, first of all Lee's dealing with the psychological underpinnings of Bruce Banner's conflict with his father, as well as the idea of the creature already inside of Bruce due to unethical experimentation by his scientist father (trying to create a perfect being), yet these story constructs can be found in the MARVEL Hulk stories of the last decade....however under Letteriers and Edward Norton's soulful, pathos driven portrait of Banner/Hulk, we are given a more streamlined, less angst ridden/more action driven story that still hints at psycho drama but in a way gives greater clarity to the tragedy of Banners plight....as for the villian of the piece we have the Abomination, one of the Hulk's greatest and most powerful adversaries, very well played by Tim Roth, William Hurt does wonders as General Ross although its Norton who truly drives this film as the tortured Banner...he really grasps the pathos of the character much like Bill Bixby did in the 70s series, you feel for him....without giving the story away, to those who thought the 03 film was too overblown, this is the Hulk comic fans know and loved for 40+ yrs, and the added elements of the beloved 70s tv series are here in full view (youll know em when you see em)....the dvd itself is fine, especially when you discover in the special features section the comic inspiration of one of the more touching moments in the film between the Hulk and his love, Betty Ross....my only complaint is the digital copy to be downloaded for your PC...why give me that if i already have the actual dvd anyway, but if you want a copy of the film for on the go, i guess its ok...otherwise a good product for a fun film, grab it.

Amazing First Season of a Classic 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Lucille Ball was and is a true legend. There has not been another comedienne with her rare, sharp comedic skills and expert timing since. A lot of times with a series, even the best in history, it takes a season or two to hit its groove. Not with I LOVE LUCY. Many of the most classic episodes are here in the 1st season. Years ago when the 1st season was first released on dvd it was for an outrageous price. Other seasons followed at very amazing deals and now at last season 1 is at a price that is just unbeatable.
Imagine, all the 35 episodes from the 1st season shown uncut and digitally remastered. The pilot episode is here as well as three complete episodes of Lucy's radio show MY FAVORITE HUSBAND on which I LOVE LUCTY was based. Of course she refused to do it without her hubby Desi. There is deleted footage, original opening sequences (they changed the intro to the famous heart when the show went into syndication). There are also behind the scenes featurettes. The list of extra goes on and on.
Of course these episodes are glorious for with this series Desi invented the three camera filming process as well as recording on film which preserved them for eternity. The character of Lucy was inventive, original and also very believable from the very first episode. Lucille Ball managed to do some hilarious slapstick and be in outrageous situations while remaing a beautiful lady with class and purpose. All the antics had a reason that she managed to make very believable. Of the classic episodes here we have THE BALLET, LUCY'S SCHEDULE, THE FREEZER, PIONEER WOMEN as well as the infamous LUCY DOES A TV COMMERCIAL which introduced us forever to Vitameatavegamin.
Need I say more. The show is the most famous, best written and best acted comedy of all time. If you love Lucy you must have this 1st season. If you have lived under a rock and have not seen all these episodes you must invest in this to see a true comedic legend use her craft to exemplary results. This show never appears dated. It can be enjoyed as much today as when it first aired. That is the true testament of a true classic.
Long live Lucy.

The most hilarious season yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I found this second season to be just hilarious! Some of the absolutely funniest episodes are in this series and feature the very best of Lucy, Ethel, Fred, and Ricky's song and dance routines. I've found that we do well watching two episodes at a time and that it makes for very pleasant and enjoyable family evenings that way. The picture quality is excellent. The sound quality is good. And of course, Lucy is hilarious!
I Love Lucy; timeless! 5 out of 5 stars.

Lucille Ball brings on just as many laughs today as she did decades ago. Fortunately, this set includes one of my favorites: the episode with Lucy & Ethel boxing chocolates. The set was a birthday present for an 8-year-old, but all the family has enjoyed watching.
Classic Comedy. 5 out of 5 stars.

Ive been an advent "I Love Lucy" fan since I was a very little girl - I would watch this black-and-white comedy instead of the mirage of cartoons that many girls and boys my age instinctively turned to. Now at age 20, "I Love Lucy" continues to be my all-time favorite TV show. I love the clean humor, I adore the characters and the relationships between them, I admire Lucille Ball's natural talent to bring a hearty laugh to my lips, I just love everything about this show. I esp love the first two seasons, though the 3rd-6th seasons are no less enjoyable.
I own the complete set, Seasons 1-9, and would definitely recommend this to anyone!!
*I just realized my very first purchase at Amazon.com (way back in 2006) was The Complete Second Season of I Love Lucy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and I love MYSELF for buying it for me. =D

It's already nostalgia 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Somehow not as convincing as Midsommer Murders, but endearing in its own way. Perhaps, because it is not fully convincing as "something British". It does have a charm of its own, however.
It seems that this will be the final series, and more's the pity, since it does set a high standard and, with all its faults, should be preferred over so many products.
Inspector Lynley is still GREAT! 5 out of 5 stars.

I Love Lucy the complete series heart box collection 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this collection for my husband who loved the series, especially certain episodes. We opened the package and watched a few episodes over two nights with out of town guests who were staying with us. The packaging was easy to use, specific episodes were located easily, and the extra features were very enjoyable. Needless to say we all enjoyed the walk down memory lane and laughed as if we were seeing those special episodes for the first time. I highly recommend this boxed set to every Lucy fan.
Excellent High Quality & Great Value 5 out of 5 stars.

I have been an I Love Lucy fan from the very first show I ever saw as a child in the late 60s . . . what a joy it was the day I found that the entire series was available on DVD - every single episode. I bought it for myself as soon as I could afford to and I have to say it was worth every penny. The discs are well packaged in a very sturdy and attractive box . . it is easy to use (the discs from their pkg), there are lots of extras at the end of each disc .. and of all the TV DVD sets I own, this one is my favorite and is of the highest quality. The episodes have been carefully restored to excellent clear video and audio quality; efforts have been clearly made to restore and show the original bits and pieces of the shows that were left out of the syndicated TV re-runs. I highly recommend it for any diehard I Love Lucy fan. You will not be disappointed.

Non-stop laughter. My 12-year-old son is now a "Lucy" fan! Whenever he gets a break from homework he watches an episode and fills the room with his infectious laugh (which causes my husband and I to roar with laughter as well). What a fun way to have the entire family enjoy television watching (like the good old days days were back in the 50s, 60s and 70s). It's a must have!

I Love Lucy needs no review ..... it is a timeless classic that exceeds anything on a scale from 1 to a million and then some!!!! This is comedy which should be emulated today. Its very important that we have an alternative to the base, shocking, condescending, vulgar toilet humor of today!!! I own the first 7 years and rate them all the same...........a treasure!!!!

Good for some 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.
It's a great set. It will feature the TV movie I Dream of Jeannie 15 Years Later (1985). If you go to tvshowsondvd.com they list this set and the features. I emailed sony because I too think they should release one set with Black and White. I also told them that they should release the movie separately along with the second TV movie I Still Dream of Jeannie(1991). I think they should have put the movie on Season 5 as a bonus. This set is a slap in the face and a way to get money out of people. It doesn't benefit those of us who already own Seasons 1-3 or 1-4. The set is good for those who have no I Dream of Jeannie at all. And because it's still inprint, it wouldn't be worth it to try to sell it for a few bucks. I hope Sony takes my suggestion. I hate when companies pull these tricks to get money out of people.
For the True Jeannie Fan 4 out of 5 stars.

"I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete Series" collects all five seasons of the comedy sitcom, which premiered in September, 1965. Astronaut Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman) is on a space mission that aborts, forcing him to parachute onto a desert island. While waiting for a rescue team, he finds an old bottle that has washed ashore. When he opens the bottle, out pops a 2000-year-old, though quite well preserved, genie (Barbara Eden), who promptly regards Tony as her master, since he has set her free.
Returning to Florida with the rescue team, Tony soon discovers that no one will believe he has found a voluptuous genie, chalking his claim up to delusions caused by exposure to the elements. To further complicate matters, the genie, named Jeannie, refuses to perform magic or ever appear for anyone except Tony. During the last three seasons, Ms. Eden also played Jeannie's wicked twin sister.
The 20-disc set includes 139 episodes packaged in a limited- edition genie bottle, audio commentary with the show's stars, interviews with Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman, and collector's cards with photos, episode synopses, trivia, and cast profiles.

THE SEASON THAT CUT THIS SHOW SHORT 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 24 people found this review helpful.
I'm so excited that The Incredible Hulk's short-lived 1981-82 Season is finally coming out on DVD this Fall in mid October and it's about time too, especially since I've been dying to see my favorite episodes from The Incredible Hulks short-lived 5th Season complete and uncut like they were shown originally on CBS back in the Fall of 1981 before CBS had cancelled The Incredible Hulk all of the sudden in November of 1981, due to budget cuts, except Universal makes each DVD commercial-free, unlike how all the episodes get shown on the Sci-Fi Channel, since Sci-Fi edites too many scenes and adds too many commercials in between like I have previously explained in my other review on The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season and I can hardly wait to add the Hulk's 5th Season to my Incredible Hulk DVD collection from the first 4 seasons.
Additionally, Universal should've also had the front cover of The Incredible Hulk-Season Five DVD say "the Final Season", just like they did with KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 4 and THE A-TEAM-SEASON 5 to inform people that those were the last seasons for those shows and that no more DVD's for those shows were going to be in the works from now on, since KNIGHT RIDER only had 4 seasons and THE A-TEAM only had 5 seasons, which is also why it would've been practical if they would've also put "The Final Season" in front of the cover of THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 5th Season, since THE INCREDIBLE HULK only had 5 seasons and will no longer have any more seasons of THE INCREDIBLE HULK in the works after this one, since THE INCREDIBLE HULK's short-lived 1981-82 Season was the last season of this show throughout it's whole 4-year run on CBS.
So now that Universal is finally about to release THE INCREDIBLE HULK's final season on DVD this Fall, I'm just eagerly awaiting for Universal to release THE ROCKFORD FILES Sixth Season on DVD, since that was Rockford's final season throughout THE ROCKFORD FILES whole 6-year run on NBC.
In addition, The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season would've been better if they would've had Jack McGee(Jack Colvin) in more 5th Season episodes, but for some reason, McGee was no where to be found nor even mentioned in this season with the exception of the "Triangle" episode, despite the fact that McGee was always mentioned in the 1981-82 Season introduction credits as the investigative reporter from "The National Register" pursuing the Hulk for a murder he didn't commit along with the fact that David Banner(Bill Bixby) was still on the run and would move onto a different place at the end of each episode like he always did in the first 4 seasons, especially after David's second hulk-out.
Rumor also has it that creator(Ken Johnson) was blamed for this show cancelling on short notice, due to the fact that Johnson and CBS could never come up with an agreeable budget for this show and that Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno(The Hulk) found it quite difficult to work with Ken Johnson, which therefore lead Ken Johnson to compromise with CBS to only make half a season for the Hulk's Fifth Season.
Something else that baffles me is The Incredible Hulk episode guide indicated that CBS had unceremoniously announced in July of 1981 that they were cancelling this show with no plans for a 5th Season in the works, but "The Phenom" episode was the Season Premiere to The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season on Friday October 2nd 1981, which was shown a week later on CBS after showing a repeat from the Hulk's Fourth Season the previous week, which was "The First" episode.
Unfortunately, the 1981-82 Season was cut short after only 5 episodes, since CBS had ended up cancelling The Incredible Hulk after only 7 weeks during it's 5th Season run on CBS in the mid Fall of 1981, but for some reason CBS had decided to bring back this show on the air temporarily in the Spring of 1982 to finish off The Incredible Hulk's short-lived Fifth Season with 2 more episodes back in May of 1982, despite the fact that CBS still didn't have a series finale episode for this show.
Unfortunately, CBS still didn't have a series finale episode for this show, which therefore indicated that at the end of The Incredible Hulk's very last episode "A Minor Problem" that David still obviously hadn't succeeded at finding a cure to his horrific ordeal with the Hulk yet with no McGee in the episode on top of that.
Somehow I have a feeling it would've been more practical if Universal had just added The Incredible Hulk's 5th Season to it's 4th Season DVD, since the 1981-82 Season of this show was cut short with only 7 episodes along with the fact that The Incredible Hulk's Fourth Season was it's last full-season throughout it's whole 4-year run on CBS even though The Incredible Hulk's Fourth Season had 18 episodes in it, unlike the Second and Third Seasons, which had 22 episodes.
In other words, Universal probably should've combined THE INCREDIBLE HULK's 5th Season on it's 4th Season DVD the way Universal had combined both seasons of BUCK ROGERS on the BUCK ROGERS:IN THE 25TH CENTURY DVD that was released back in November of 2004, since BUCK ROGERS 2nd Season wasn't a full-season, unlike BUCK ROGERS 1st Season along with the fact that the Second Season of BUCK ROGERS got a very late start, since Buck's 2nd Season was unsuccessful and didn't finally get started till January of 1981, but NBC eventually ended up cancelling BUCK ROGERS by September of 1981, due to an immense decline in ratings.
Therefore, if Universal had combined The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season episodes to The Incredible Hulk's Fourth Season DVD, it would've had a total of 25 episodes on it instead of 18 episodes, but I have a feeling that Universal's reason for not combining The Incredible Hulk's 5th Season on it's 4th Season DVD was perhaps due to Universal wanting to get more money out of their customers due to all the budget cuts we've had from the recession going on right now, due to George Bush, Jr's presidency.
Fortunately, The Incredible Hulk wasn't cancelled because of low ratings, but was cancelled unfortunately due to the fact that the special effects on this show got too expensive, due to budget cuts from the weak economy we had going on in the early 1980's, due to Ronald Reagan's presidency.
In other words; CBS probably wouldn't have ended up cancelling The Incredible Hulk as soon as it did if it weren't for the stinkin recession we had going on back in 1981-1982 when Ronald Regan was president.
Therefore, The Incredible Hulk probably wouldn't have cancelled all of the sudden when it had if it weren't for Reagan and all the financial mess he caused us back then.
Something else I noticed about this season was that the Hulk wore the same exact kind of blue jeans in every single episode of the Fifth Season, which the Hulk wore in just about every episode in the Fourth Season, which I suspect was to help the producers of the show economize, due to cost cutting issues from the bad economy we had back in the early 1980's, due to Reagan's presidency.
Therefore, it was almost as if the 5th Season of The Incredible Hulk was somewhat of an extension of the Hulk's 4th Season, since the introduction to The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season was identical to the introduction to The Incredible Hulk's Fourth Season along with the fact that the Hulk wore the same exact blue jeans in all the 5th Season episodes, except The Incredible Hulk's 5th Season wasn't as significant nor as sophisticated as The Incredible Hulk's 4th Season was, along with the fact that Jack McGee hadn't been shown in any 5th Season episodes with the exception of the "Triangle" episode, which was one of the last episodes of The Incredible Hulk, since "Triangle" was the 3rd to the last episode of this show throughout The Incredible Hulk's whole 4-year run on CBS.
Therefore, I kind of started wondering what had happened to Jack McGee in the 1981-82 Season along with the fact that McGee(Jack Colvin) was always being mentioned in the credits during the introduction to The Incredible Hulk's Fifth Season as the investigative reporter who has continuosly kept pursuing the Hulk convinced that the Hulk was a murderer while David(Bill Bixby) had continued searching for a cure to his horrendous infliction with the Hulk, but McGee was still no closer to capturing the Hulk or discovering that David Banner was the Hulk in the "Triangle" episode than he was in the first 4 seasons of The Incredible Hulk either, which clearly indicated that McGee ended up failing once again and that McGee had been unsuccessful with tracking the Hulk throughout The Incredible Hulk's whole 1978-82 run on CBS.
In addition to that, I found it quite odd how McGee was never able to make the connection and discovery that David Banner was still alive and that David Banner was the so-called "John Doe" who was the Hulk along with the fact that McGee came so close plenty of times to being directly face to face with David Banner on top of that before managing to keep slipping through McGee's fingers again and again leading McGee to another dead end.
In addition to why the 5th Season wasn't quite as good or as solid as the 4th Season was because the 1981-82 Season of The Incredible Hulk didn't have any episodes showing clips from previous episodes or from previous seasons either, unlike the first 4 seasons of The Incredible Hulk had.
Additionally, the short-lived Fifth Season didn't have any 2-parted episodes either, unlike the 4th Season and most of the other previous seasons either, which somewhat made this 1981-82 Season less interesting and perhaps made the 5th Season the weakest and least successful season of them all throughout The Incredible Hulk's whole 1978-82 run on CBS, especially since this show was cancelled all of the sudden in it's Fifth and final season without sufficient warning on top of that.
Therefore, I partly blame Reagan for The Incredible Hulk cancelling all of the sudden back in the mid Fall of 1981, because of all the financial mess and budget cuts that Reagan caused back then.
This 1981-82 Season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when we had the recession back in 1981-1982 during Reagan's presidency and when THE INCREDIBLE HULK was on CBS's Friday night-line up at 8PM followed by THE DUKES OF HAZZARD at 9PM and then top off by DALLAS at 10PM back in the early Fall of 1981, which of course was before THE INCREDIBLE HULK was unfortunately cancelled all of the sudden in November of 1981, which therefore resulted in THE DUKES OF HAZZARD taking over the 8PM time-slot on CBS's Friday night line-up eventually.
This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when THE INCREDIBLE HULK had temporarily joined CBS's Friday night line-up at 8PM in the Spring of 1981 during the same time-slot as THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO at the time on ABC, since THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO was on at 8PM followed by THE FALL GUY at 9PM and topped off by DYNASTY at 10PM as part of ABC's Wednesday night line-up.

This Incredible Hulk-Season Five DVD also has some interesting bonus features like hilarious outakes from the first 4 seasons of The Incredible Hulk and also had a bonus feature with creator(Ken Johnson) and producers Jill Sherman-Donner, Karen Harris, and Bob Steinhauer describing their experience on working with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno and how it was like for them running and producing the show throughout it's whole 1978-82 run on CBS.
The bonus feature also explains to us how it was like for Ken Johnson and all the producers when CBS had decided to cancel the show all of the sudden on short notice without Universal or any of the producers knowing The Incredible Hulk was going to be cancelled in the Fall of 1981, even though the ratings were still good, which was why everybody including Ken Johnson were so baffled when CBS had uncermoniously announced in the Summer of 1981 that they were cancelling The Incredible Hulk, even right after completing a succesful 4th Season, but according to Ken Johnson, part of what led CBS to cancel this show all of the sudden was due to the Hulk running out of steam, despite the strong ratings of this hit TV show back in the early 1980's.
So now that Universal has finally released THE INCREDIBLE HULK-Season 5 out on DVD and has all 5 seasons of the Hulk out on DVD, I can now hardly wait till Universal releases THE ROCKFORD FILES-SEASON 6 out on DVD so I can add Rockford's Sixth Season to my collection of Rockford DVD's, especially since THE ROCKFORD FILES short-lived 1979-80 Season was the final season of THE ROCKFORD FILES, just like the Hulk's short-lived 1981-82 Season was the last and final season of THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
