Editorial Review:

Sesame Street's cheerful redhead chuckles his way through this delightful 50-minute compilation of three favorite "Elmo's World" episodes. First come the babies: real babies, Muppet babies, and animal babies. With help from Mister Noodle, a cast of Muppets, and video vignettes featuring humans, Elmo discovers what babies can do and how to play with them. Next come the dogs. Once again, Elmo's on the move--this time to share important tips about respecting the family pet. The final episode examines life on the farm. Viewers will observe youngsters accomplishing daily farm chores as well as Muppet farmers and barn animals punning around. As Elmo bops around his house (simply drawn and "furnished" with color crayon sketches), he chats with Dorothy the pet goldfish, poses questions to Mister Noodle, and tunes in to his friendly television for helpful cartoons presented by "The Baby Channel," "The Dog Channel," and of course, "The Farm Channel." Educational and entertaining for the younger crowd, each segment explores its topic using a variety of creative, quick-paced methods, enhanced by an upbeat soundtrack. (Ages 3 to 6) --Liane Thomas

Hysterical! 5 out of 5 stars.

When you need some humor and a good belly laugh in your day, watch this DVD. What a hysterical comic and a great loss to all of us. He left us with a legacy of laughter though in this sometimes "doom and gloom" world of ours. Laughter IS the best medicine. A must watch ! ! !

Comme ci, comme ca. 2 out of 5 stars.

This DVD was just so-so. There were a few skits that were funny, but the physical comedy thing wore on me. His shtick was that he was morbidly obese, which is not funny. I wish I had never bought it. It was a waste of money and a waste of my time.

Gotta love Chris 5 out of 5 stars.

Not the best season of the show but a must have if you wanna finish the series.

Don't miss this show! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Season 5 of the Sopranos brings about some exciting changes and developments for many of the characters. It is entertaining and enthralling to watch. It kept me up late at night, just to watch "one more episode". Yes, officially addicted.

What I enjoy about the Sopranos is that each season they bring about some new characters, most of which are great "villians". It keeps the show fresh and interesting. Here we meet Tony's cousin, played by Steve Buscemi.

I can't say enough good things about this series, but as I'm reviewing all 6.2 seasons right now, I guess I am running out of original things to say for each. But I just wanted to take the time and add my opinion for each so that each prospective viewer can add my vote to the count that says "Don't miss this show!"

Editorial Review:

His separation hasn't been working out. His nephew's fiance has become a distraction. His paroled cousin is giving off bad vibes. His business rival is looking for payback. His therapist isn't buying into the "other Tony." It's enough to send any mob boss over the edge. Hell hath no fury like The Sopranos.

We first borrowed this from a friend and I am now ordering a copy for ourselves. My 4-yr old son love it! This is the best tool yet to improve his number skills. It is fun yet simple, and he never gets bored watching it. Even my 6-yr old son enjoys it.

I highly recommend this DVD. It is worth every cent!

very entertaining and educational! 5 out of 5 stars.

My 19 month old son loves this video! It is about 30 minutes long- just enough time to clean up the kitchen and get a few other things done around the house. All the favorite characters are there as well as a few new ones I did not know about including "Benny the Bunny" who is really funny..Elmo does a rap for the number 5 that thrills my son. Good quality both sound and sight.

GREAT VIDEO,EDUCATION,FUN AND ENTERTAINING.. 5 out of 5 stars.

The dvd arrived last week,for my 8 month old granddaughter. I decided on this dvd after reading the 5 star reveiws. I'm happy with the choice.It's educational,fun and entertaining. My granddaughter stops to look and listen when she hears several songs,rock around the clock,elmo singing #5 song and the crows singing.I'm sure as she gets older this be one of her favorite dvds.I usually play it twice back to back because I enjoy her smiles when she reacts to the songs. I HIGH RECOMMEND THIS DVD. I'm going to purchase another one so she will have one at her home.

WARNING: the following content contains gratuitous scenes of cookie eating, viewer discretion is advised. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

OK, there is some disclaimer at the beginning of this that children these days should not watch this and that it is only meant for adults to reminisce. I assume it is because of cookie monster or something, seems silly to me. I watched this with my toddler and I think it's fine. It is certainly more appropriate than junk that teaches kids to dress like hookers (I'm looking at you, Bratz).

I loved watching this with my daughter, old school Sesame Street is so much better than the junk on these days. Most stuff these days are nothing more than CGI with no story or real entertainment value (Ice Age, Cars, Skrek, the Disney channel). I really enjoy this because it is very creative. They are on a really tight budget, but they do a good job putting together all sorts of different skits and songs with a lot of variety. And I even get a legitimate chuckle every now and then--unlike the eye-rolling lame jokes on Hannah Montana. This is perfect for kids and adults to enjoy together.

Editorial Review:

Can you dig it? Sesame Street: Old School Volume 2 picks up right where Volume 1 left off, including all the grooviest Sesame Street memories from 1974 to 1979! You’ll see cats like Don Music and Roosevelt Franklin, Guy Smiley and Fat Blue. Break out your boogie shoes for far out classics like "What’s the Name of That Song?" and "Telephone Rock!" Rediscover the Sesame Street of the 1970s -- the place where you learned about letters, numbers, and loveable furry monsters. Catch you on the flip side!

Stroke of genius 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Wow, season 3 of the Sopranos is a memorable one for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the previous 2 seasons, but by season 3 every storyline, every line that was muttered by a character, every shocking or subtle development, was a stroke of genius.

In this season, the cast and writers alike, SHINE. Here we really start getting to the meat of things. And it's nothing if it's not like riding a fast-paced thrilling rollercoaster. One you will not want to get off of.

I highly recommend the Sopranos series. I am not a big action or mafia movie goer, nor am I big into the violence...but something within this show is bigger than all of that. Something about family and a persons will to survive. Much of what these characters go through, we all experience on some level or other. Don't miss out on this fantastic show!!

Editorial Review:

Some suburban households have two cars. Some have two houses. But Tony Soprano has two families. This could be why the FBI is going to such lengths to wiretap his home. Why the son of his dear late friend Jackie Aprile is causing him such agita. Why a Russian housekeeper is searching for her missing leg. Why his son is vandalizing school property and his daughter is getting her heart broken. Why his wife Carmela is both consulting a psychiatrist and confessing to a priest. And it's also why Tony Soprano is still seeing Dr. Melfi for his anxiety attacks. It isn't easy heading-up the mob in New Jersey. But that's what puts dinner on the table for the two families of Tony Soprano.

What a cute new Sesame Street character! 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is the first time I've seen the Abby character in the Sesame Street programs and she sure is cute! She has a darling voice which the little ones seem to find fascinating. Sesame Street always does a great job with their DVD's and they're a favorite here. It's nice that this one is a little longer at 40 minutes than the typical 30 minutes which seems to fly by.

The voices are cute, the movie is colorful with lots of activity and the story which is a take off on Alice in Wonderland with Abby taking the part of Alice is a good one. The Sesame Street cast takes the other parts, like the Cheshire Cookie Cat or Bert and Ernie as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

About the only thing I would change and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a "Fast Play" or auto start DVD. You have to wait for the menu to come up and click on play. It's nice to have movies which start over on their own like the Sesame Street Sleepytime Songs and Stories. But all in all, I'd say this is a good addition to the collection.

Editorial Review:

Sesame Street's newest muppet, fairy Abby Cadabby, falls asleep and follows a Red Rabbit (Elmo) down a rabbit hole and in to a "Wonderland," where she encounters quirky and whimsical characters including Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Bert and Ernie) and The Cheshire Cookie Cat. She also attends a silly tea party presided over by a Mad Hatter (Grover) who also can be a "sad" hatter or a "glad" hatter with the change of a hat. Will Abby find her missing magic wand and be able to get back to Sesame Street, or does the Grouch of Hearts (Oscar) have other plans?

Video Girls on HBO 2 out of 5 stars.

If I'd watched this season first, I'd have never gone to see the movie or watched later episodes of the show. Fortunately, most of the syndication episodes I see on TV are with Mr. Big and Carrie; Samantha and Jared; Charlotte and the Jewish guy; and Miranda and the bartender. Call me a prude, but I liked the later episodes so much better because each woman stuck to one man; wasn't having sex on a first date with every guy who looked cute and seemed nice; and they seemed to be slightly more street smart. In this season, everybody's coming home late at night and jumping in folks' cars; having sex with someone different on every single episode (why do we pick on video girls when there are shows like this on the air?); and Miranda and Charlotte drove me insane. Miranda is that bitter, angry, no man friend that every male on Planet Earth can't stand because she's always the tightest friend with their girlfriend. She had some male bashing comment on just about every episode, but ironically, she couldn't WAIT to find a man and complained continuously about why nobody wanted her. Maybe because you're mean and annoying! Charlotte, on the other hand, bothered me more. I respect some of her old-fashioned ways about getting to know a man before having sex, and wanting to not use certain vocabulary words that are classless, but everything else about her made me want to scratch my eyes out. She was a complete hypocrite by lecturing people on being too slutty, but then she had sex with some guy at a wedding. That was a Samantha move! No matter what the guy does, she swears her dates are "the one" and talks about wanting to get married and have children more than even the old 80s sitcoms I'd see. If Charlotte's character met Mrs. Brady (from "The Brady Bunch"), I think Mrs. Brady might ask her to loosen up a little.

The first season was better because there was less vulgar humor and more actual slap-your-thigh funny scenes. This season had "jokes" like someone nutting on another person's forehead. Ugh.

I hope the third season is better. If not, I'm going to start working with the last episodes and work my way to the bottom.

Returning for a fourth season (1978-1979), the cast and writers of SNL maintained their reputation for hilarious characters and innovative sketch-comedy creating hits such as The Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd), Nick the Lounge Singer (Bill Murray), Candy Slice (Gilda Radner), The Loud Family (Jane Curtin), Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute (Dan Aykroyd), and The Nerds (Bill Murray and Gilda Radner). Other favorites include the return of iconic host Steve Martin (with Dan Aykroyd as the “wild and crazy” Festrunk Brothers) and Buck Henry’s inappropriate “Uncle Roy”. The complete fourth season of SNL features classic performances from hosts Fred Willard, Carrie Fisher, Kate Jackson, Milton Berle, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Elliott Gould, Frank Zappa, Gary Busey, and Walter Matthau. Unforgettable musical guests such as Peter Tosh, Mick Jagger, The Doobie Brothers, Bette Midler, Talking Heads, Devo, Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, Rickie Lee Jones, James Taylor, and the legendary Rolling Stones playing live from studio 8H.

Stargate Atlantis is a great show! The third season is full of surprises and ends in a classic cliffhanger. Can't wait to get season 4! Stargate is a little more realistic than Star Trek - you actually feel like it could be happening now. I love that there is a nice mix of drama and humor - they're really good at poking fun at sci-fi in general.

Another great Atlantis season 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought two sets of these one as a gift and one for myself, both sets worked and great packaging. Fan of SGA since the start and this is worth every penny. I've watched this set at least 6 times since I've purchased it. The menu is a sga true layout with easy access to all functions of the dvd.

Another excellent season but it could have been much better 4 out of 5 stars.

The DVD set:
1. The editting is AWESOME. I owned many TV Series DVDs Set and NONE HAVE THE EDITTING OF SGA. The episode goes as a small movie and you can not feel where the commercial breaks were.
2. The art on some of the slim cases does look, like a bad print.
3. The DVDs themselves are great, easy to take and put back in, nice art.
4. The complete case is very slim, so it does not take a lot of space in your library.
5. There is no booklet, and there is a small summary on the back cover of each case volume for the episodes.
6. The menu has a very nice graphic and it is easy to read (unlike season 1)
7. You have scene selection and comments on the episodes.

The story:

I agree with most reviewers that season 3 was weak and most of the stories were boring.
1. The special effects were a step up from previews seasons. Specially the season finale between the beam, the shield, the city going underwater, the city raising to space it was a complete extravaganza and well received by this reviewer.
2. The wraith were not touch upon much and their story felt like it stop on this season.
3. The character of Michael returns but not much happens with it; making you think why bring it up.
4. The replicators were a nice threat. I do not watch SG1, so I was surprised to learn that they were used on that show. Knowing that I do have a complaint of using foes from another show. New Galaxy, New Show there should be NEW THREATS. On the other hand, I saw them as the BORG of the SG universe, of course cuter in this universe. =)
5. I did not like the death of doctor Becket and specially the departure of Dr. Weird. Unlike most reviewers I like her character, she seemed a little bland at times, but a strong leader at best.

Overall an excellent show, but four stars because the writing staff could do better.

Editorial Review:

For the first time ever, fans can catch up on season 3 before season 4 begins on Sci Fi!
