This show is a must watch. The romantic storyline between Ned and Chuck is just too cute. Lee Pace is amazing as Ned. The dialogue is quick and entertaining. Every time the characters eat pie or talk about pie, I get a huge craving for some.

Best Show in Years, must have 5 out of 5 stars.

Quite nice and definitely original show. Towards the middle it sort of repeat itself, but worth checking out.

Outstanding show 5 out of 5 stars.

I recently started watching Pushing Daisies and am amazed. It's unlike anything else that I've seen on TV. The production quality and cinematography are especially captivating.

This is my favorite show and I've seen every episode multiple times. I just hope when it moves from Bravo to Lifetime that the quality doesn't change.

Wheres the fashion tryouts? 4 out of 5 stars.

I purchased this season, hoping that it would be like 1,2,3... They didn't put in the fashion tryouts, I was hoping to see the people trying out for the show, and seeing some of last seasons, big-wigs.. coming back.. That is the only down side to this season... Please Project Runway peoples.. don't leave this out of your DVD's there is a lot of people out there like me that enjoy that part of it!

Major Talent, Minor Drama 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is my favorite season of Project Runway ever. The level of talent is unparalleled. Any of the final three designers could arguably have won and most likely would have won any of the prior seasons. Some of the challenges are silly (making costumes for wrestling divas comes to mind) but they add a bit of comic relief. The guest stars are appropriate and interesting. Sarah Jessica Parker's episode is a particular favorite because not only are the designers awe-struck, but they also have to wow her with a design for her "Bitten" line using only $15 of materials. Tiki Barber's challenge is also particularly interesting because it once again showcases the differences between designing for women and men.

There is little of the bickering among the contestants that has been so prominent in some seasons. And there is no clear villain among the cast. Didn't miss either one.

As for the "extra's": We do not have Bravo TV in our cable line up, so the shows are a first time view for me. I can not tell you how much extra footage there is per episode. The extra features included in the DVD are minimal to the point of ridiculous. A short "Wear is he now" on the winning designer and a series of brief and obvious make up instructions are pretty much it.

Brilliant !! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Michael Scofield ( Wentworth Miller ) back into prison ( What A Mess, Prison !! ) He's really brilliant the way he's escape ( how he's bullies the other )and save L.J at the museum. And even He's act is very smart ( 2 thumbs up for him ).
The series still make us curious about the woman who killed Sara and the whom Michael Scofield brought him out too..So Brilliant for the writer.
You Must See this series...It's a great one from season one.
Just to bad, for this season, the series is too short. Overall, love this series.

Prison Great! 5 out of 5 stars.

I started out buying a download with Pepsi caps and watching the movie here on my computer where it's saved automatically and I can watch over and over. I must admit, it was good, super good. I got addicted to the TV series and have now downloaded two series and bought the third series where Amazon sent me two Cd's in a very nice package (shipping and handling FREE) for many more hours of entertainment. I am now looking forward to the forth series as soon as it becomes available. I highly recommend Amazon for their service and dedication to their products. Use your Credit card without fear. I did and have had no problems at all. Jerry

A minority opinion 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 20 people found this review helpful.

[Note: I entered this same review for Season 3, Vol. 1, too.]

I appreciate the reasons for consumer gripes regarding the Perry Mason DVD releases. Like other Amazon reviewers, I'd like to pay less and see complete seasons rather than half-seasons released at a time.

I'd also like two-dollar gas, killer abs, and a winning lottery ticket, but they're not gonna happen either, so I'll just say here and now that Paramount has done a superb job of remastering the PM series for us diehards, and I encourage the company to stick with the project.

When I look at the quality of the prints, that the episodes have been restored in their entirety, that the episodes are generally longer than most of today's popular dramatic series, and the plain fact that paying several bucks for each episode of one of my all-time favorite shows is no big hit on my wallet when it's spread out over months and years, I'm okay with the pricing and staggered releases. (And no, I don't work for or represent Paramount, and yes, like everyone else I have only so much disposable income in any given month.)

I even bought the PM 50th Anniversary set for its extras and for the lovely Barbara Hale (sometimes joined by series producer/director Arthur Marks) providing the intros. It was worth the price and the duplication of episodes.

I expect many of my fellow Amazon reviewers will take the time to skewer me for my take on Paramount's approach, and that's okay. It's all a matter of opinion and perspective. But for me, the fact that Paramount is providing us fans with such great prints of the PM series is cause for celebration. "You get what you pay for," the saying goes, and my money is being well-spent.

Editorial Review:

Perry Mason is an attorney who specializes in defending seemingly indefensible cases. With the aid of his secretary Della Street and investigator Paul Drake, he often finds that by digging deeply into the facts, startling facts can be revealed. Often relying on his outstanding courtroom skills, he often tricks or traps people into unwittingly admitting their guilt.

The whole DVD boxset worked fine and everything was as I thought it would be, great. The special features were great, except for, I think, Disc Two, but I do think that was because my brother scratched my disc. << -Cough.-

Everything worked great and the quality was awesome.

Can't wait to buy season three. <3.

While I have not been able to watch the entire DVD yet, the part that I have watched is great! I have been a big Partridge fan for over 30 years. I love David Cassidy and always wanted to be Laurie! I hope season 4 is released very soon! With all of the turmoil and issues in the world right now, it is great to watch this DVD and return to the carefree days of the 70's!

Excellent show 5 out of 5 stars.

The Partridge Family: the Complete Third Season
If you have enjoyed the first two seasons , you will get a kick out of the family antics provided by season three. It has your basic family plot lines that follow all good sit-coms. You have the diet episode the camping episode and a few of the "period type episodes" . You know "womans lib" and lets get "mod"! But we all know we watch the episodes to hear Keith and Shirley sing. And sing they do. They continue the hit making songs that made the show a great treat. One little flaw is the way they sometimes spliced a singing segment into a plot line with out any continuity. The actors who play Chris Danny and Tracey, have vastly improved their lip snycing in season three. Season three makes you want to go right out and buy season four as soon as possible...if your an avid Partridge Family fan.

This Is Not A Review About Despicable Marketing Practices 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I agree with most of you who abhor the decreased content and increased prices of these Paramount releases. I suppose I was "lucky" to purchase this half-season for $29.99, but I also wonder what I will have to spend in order to purchase all of the episodes of this iconic television series.

In turning to Season 3, Volume 1, let me state that the DVDs did not disappoint. As compared to the prior seasons, the screenplays seemed tighter, less contrived and more engaging. The acting, especially by the core group of characters, continued to be first-rate and flawless. I sensed that Raymond Burr, Barbara Hale and William Hopper had eased more fully into their characters and they had forged a bond that was seamless and dynamic. It was truly a joy watching each episode.

Watching Perry Mason makes me realize how far removed it is from the television that is ubiquitous today. There was a strong conviction then that television was not simply for entertainment, but that it could uplift and inspire. This, of course, was the era of Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Today, television has abandoned that conviction for the mindless drivel that predominates. While there are pockets of good programming, most of television is reality shows, soft porn and gratuitous violence.

Even though season 1 of the show is the best, season 2 is good, too. On this 6 dvd set there are all 22 episodes with many special features and interviews. Episodes are subtitled in English, Spanish and French. :D

Don't compare with Season 1 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

It's better not to compare the two. Though the comparison happens naturally with Season 1, however, there is a lot of difference between the two. Not really because the plot was different but unlike Season 1 where things made sense in each episode, in Season 2 there are strange (rather illogical) things happening. You are forced to jump out of the engrossment on many occassion. At times I even felt like "It's ok, after all it's just on TV", still good to watch.

Now I am going in for Season 3. Let's see how Scofield dents Panama :-).

Awesome show! 5 out of 5 stars.

After starting and finishing season 1, I couldn't wait to start season 2. I absolutely love this show. It is directed and produced with professionalism and the actors / actresses in the show are amazing. KEEP IT COMING!

Entertaining but totally fake. The show's producers, not the judges, choose who is "out" 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have recently watched, with my wife, several seasons of this show. It is very entertaining, but a heads up should be given to anyone who actually thinks that reality TV is in anyway real. For instance, when watching season one, one might wonder how a designer as bad as Wendy Pepper could stay on the show for so long.

Here is the answer: She is an evil person. Having such a despicable character stay on the show, mixing things up and generating drama, creates high ratings. That is it. If one reads the small print at the end of each episode, one learns--shock, shock--that it is actually the producers of the show and Bravo itself that ultimately gets to say who is "out." Why? Because it's all based on calculations of what combination of personalities will result in the highest ratings.

So what, you say? Well, the important implication of this is that the entire show is fake. That's right. The judges are NOT sitting there and choosing who actually gets booted off, as the show displays. The show's producers are doing that for them, behind the scenes. In fact, I would find it very interesting if the judges had to reveal what they actually write on their cards. One person speaks and then the others almost always just parrot what the first person says. I would bet high money, as a psychologist, that their cards would not reflect this.

Much of it is based on "who likes who" personally, because--let's face it--the whole racket is totally subjective anyway and entirely full of BS. Just listen to the designers. "It's like totally open and closed--at the same time." Better yet, watch Ali G asking phony questions to real-life designers, and watch them BS their way through Ali G's fake questions. The result is no different than the judge's asking sincere questions here.

On a final note I would like to say that this show should be hosted by a famous designer--not by a model. Klum likes to say that the show is a competition for models too, but the model competition is just based on who hits it off with whom. It's not really a competition. Also, Heidi Klum is VERY annoying. Her accent does not sound like an accent. It sounds like a speech impediment. I cannot STAND how she says "out."
