Series:Beyond Excellent, DVD: A Little Less So 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The DVD set is worth the price for the show itself. But I received a set in which Discs 5 and 6 would not play the episodes. They were damaged from the poor packaging. But I exchanged it for another from Amazon with no hassle, and got a perfect new set. So just weigh your options. The series is well worth putting up with the bad packaging. Better than not having the set at all.

Editorial Review:

Set in suburban Flatpoint, USA, Strangers with Candy twisted the conventions of the After-School Special to create a completely original comedy series. Each half hour follows the misadventures of Jerri Blank, a 46 year old high school dropout who has spent the last 32 years in and out of prison - a self described "boozer, user and loser." Strangers with Candy commences as Jerri decides to pick up her life exactly where she left it: living at home and starting ninth grade. Faced with classic high school dilemmas every week, Jerri's old habits - as well as the misguided advice of her self-centered teachers - cause her to resolve each crisis by learning the wrong lesson from every scenario.

Brilliant writing and acting close Voyager's curtain with a bang! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Star Trek Voyager, in my opinion, is the best Star Trek series. I fell in love with the show about a year ago, when I finally decided to explore the Star Trek phenomenon. I was checking all channels to see when Star Trek was coming on, and Voyager was the first one I saw. I set my Tivo, and that night, I couldn't beleive what I saw. By coincidence, Spike TV was beggining the cycle again that day, and I started with Caretaker. I watched every single episode since then. A few months later, Spike's three episodes per day schedule had reached season seven. I first knew that season seven was going to be good after "Imperfection," which was the SECOND episode of the season. Actually, first if you don't count Unimatrix Zero Pt 2. That feeling of greatness returned the next day when I watched Drive. That episode told me, "This will be the greatest season so far." I was right. Skipping ahead to Q2, Q's third and final appearance on Voyager. That was when the writing REALLY got good. Heck, they even made an episode ABOUT writing in Author, Author! Every episode past Human Error is a classic, definetly. Endgame is my favorite episode in ALL of Star Trek, not just Voyager. The brilliant writing, magnificent acting, and amazing special effects end my favorite Star Trek series with a bang!

Well, what can you say about a show that started one of the biggest changes in the history of television?
I am glad that I have been there from the start and that I have this season on DVD so that I can relive some of the best moments over again.

For me, this was the start of something special that would forever change my Thursday nights like nothing before it. Because of this show, this is why nobody calls me on Thursdays nights between 8 and 9 because that is Survivor night!!!

Thanks Survivor!!!

Rat vs. Snake. 5 out of 5 stars.

Survivor - The Complete First Season became a sensation in 2000. Jeff Probst is the host and still is even though he's a cutie he gets on my nerves every now and then. The first season was a riot to say the least. Some memorable players like Jenna, Kelly, Sue, Richard, and Rudy. I just love the final episode, never been a tribal council quite like that still! This is the only season worth buying, enjoy!

I am a Stargate fan and I don't get enough of the Stargate SG-1 shows, so I have started buying them. I enjoy them all. This, season 6 thinpak, is just great. I was a little doubtful as to getting it because Daniel Jackson was not in it, but Jonas Quinn bought his own appeal to the show. Very determine young man, especially when he was trying to get into the SG-1 team and Teal'c was sparing with him and Teal'c kept punching Jonas down but Jonas kept getting up as fast as he fell. All the shows are great but then again I never have anything negative to say about this show.

ONE OF THE BEST SEASONS OF THIS SERIES! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I really like the series and I'm sorry to see it end. But I think season 6 was one of the most imaginative seasons Starge SG-1 had! I was really tired of Michael Shanks running in/out and the addition of Corin Nemec was refreshing.
Especially since most of all the seasons consisted of them going to a planet where everybody always looked the SAME!

My daughter is 2 and loves Elmo. She only wants to watch this movie...over and over and over...The first thing she askes for in the morining is to "watch Elmo!" We actually have to limit her time watching it! I like it because it teaches her a lot about music, dancing, counting, and books.

My daughter loves it! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is another great video, but we have an Elmo video titled "Things That Make Elmo Happy" or something like that, and the dancing or music is duplicated in that, which was kind of disappointing, but the video is still great.

Daughter loved it!! 5 out of 5 stars.

Anything Elmo, and she is hooked. Well at least that's how it was for a LONG time. She's 3 now and little miss grown, but she really did get into all of the Elmo's World DVD's for a while. They kept her occupied, taught her a TON, and weren't all that annoying, as far as kids movies go.

Mocking without apology 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Matt Parker and Trey Stone really hit their stride with this season of South Park. My husband and I both enjoy their lampooning of everything from the missing children to Ben Affleck (How to Eat with your Butt); the military and Stevie Nicks (Osama bin Laden has Farty Pants); gays in the Scouts and the handicapped (Cripple Fight). Cripple Fight is the episode with the amazing shot-for-shot fight scene from They Live. Also features the return of the 'worst character ever' Towelie. I love the episode Super Best Friends too ("How do you stop a giant concrete Abraham Lincoln?" "Build a giant concrete John Wilkes Booth?"). Cartman continues to be a manipulative little b@st@rd, especially in Cartmanland. All-in-all, another great set featuring those twisted kids from South Park.

It is everything I expected. I love season 3 of Stargate SG1 and I have been watching Star Gate SG1 since it first aired over 10 years ago. I plan to buy the whole series one season at a time. I already have Season's 1 and 2. This is one of my all time favorite series besides the whole Star Trek franchise.

one of the best 3 out of 5 stars.

this is one of the best tv shows ever; the costumes and stories are great,
unfortunately (for me) the dvd doesn't have captions.

As expected, but go for thinpak when available 5 out of 5 stars.

This is obviously a series, so I won't both to review the show - you either like it and you need Season 3, or you don't belong here. As for the item itself? It's just like the other Stargate SG-1 boxed sets, very little to no extra features are included. I purchased this set instead of the "Thinpak" set, because it was cheaper. When you can, go for the thinpak. The difference is this set is just like regular dvd cases in a box, where as the thinpak uses the ultra slimline dvd cases and the entire box is about 1/4 the size of this one.

Marjorine Rocks 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

"South Park" is one of the most clever series programs in the entire history of American television. Because Trey & Matt (the creaters, cartoonists, writers, voices & just about everything else) have a percise acuteness to satire and comedy. Each season it only gets better. This series has never "jumped the shark" because "South Park" is the type of series that doesn't take themselves too serious and doesn't try to be anything they're not.

Season Nine (includes a total of fourteen eps) of this modern-day classic is hands down, bar none, perfect television viewing. Some of the highlights from this season include: Mrs. Garrison's gender reassignment operation, the sweet sounds of Wing, Jimmy taking matters into his own hands and of course who could forget about Tom Cruise being trapped in the perpetual closet! But my favorite ep from this season revolves around my favorite "South Park" resident, Eric Cartman; in this installmant, Cartman found out what it was like to be dead when the other boys killed him off in "The Death of Eric Cartman!"

I cannot wait for the Season Eleven Set to come out, later this year. And, next week is the Season Twelve Series premieres on "South Park" on Comedy Central!

Editorial Review:

All fourteen episodes from South Park’s infamous ninth season are now available for the first time in this exclusive 3-disc collector’s set. This season features Kenny’s epic battle between heaven and hell, uprising of redheads and adventures surrounding a certain closet. For these boys, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!

Very disappointing!!! 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Be warned! Many of the classic Sesame Street songs listed on the back are only short clips spliced together. Argh!!! We bought this for classics like "Rubber Duckie" and "Put Down the Duckie," expecting to get the full songs that appear on other Sesame Street video compilations. The filler in between is a lot of cheesy 80's music that is too erratic and choppy for younger viewers.

a piece of history 5 out of 5 stars.

I purchased this video for my nephew after his first birthday. Neither of us can get enough of it and I can't tell who is more excited when I'm babysitting to watch this video. The final song, a unique version of "Sing" with Ladysmith Black Mambazo is so sweet it nearly makes me cry every time.

The only movie my twins will watch in the car! 5 out of 5 stars.

My 15 month old twins have loved this movie ever since they started watching it about 5 months ago. This is the only movie that will keep their attention in the car and I have yet to find another that is as entertaining and captivating as this!

Elmo's World is a really cute DVD. My little brother and sister love it! I have heard the songs so many times I sing them in my head when I'm not even watching it. If you have little kids you must buy Elmo's World! If your kids are a little older like me the craft DVD called Crafty Fun will be great for them.

Another good Elmo video 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 19-month-old loves Elmo, and this is another great video. There are a couple of slow parts, during the drawing section, and I'm a little disappointed that the singing portion is duplicated in another Elmo video we have, but other than that, it's kept his interest.

Editorial Review:

Join Sesame Street's curious red monster, as he explores singing, drawing and telephones! Elmo's World offers kids and adults a fresh and light-hearted take on the wor ld around them. Each episode comes to life in Elmo's bright, exciting and very original ro om -- the drawer, door, shade and TV all join in the fun. And he's even visited by a Muppe t opera diva and a talking Muppet phone! Also featuring Elmo's per goldfish, Dorothy, the zany Mr. Noodle and classic songs that will delight viewers of all ages.
