Not as good as Season One 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Season Two was entertaining, but it didn't captivate me like Season One did. Maybe I need to watch the episodes a few more times. I agree with "Mr Treize" in that a lot of the episodes just stop at random spots, as if the episodes were written too long and just cut off at the 11 minute mark. The few stories that spanned multiple episodes were much better.
One thing that has annoyed me since I got the first season is the censoring of the swear words. There are uncenssored bonus features, but not the main episodes. I get that it is necessary for TV, but I would like unrated episodes on DVD.
More disappointing than rewarding 2 out of 5 stars.

I'm a huge fan of the first season of Metalocalypse, but this second season leaves much to be desired. I agree with another reviewer that the special features on here are largely worthless, and having to search for them is annoying and unnecessary. Considering the huge fanbase this show has built, the creators could have easily put more effort into adding some unique band-related extras - you'll find yourself saying "that's it?"
The writing quality has declined considerably; many episodes here feel either rushed/incomplete, or dragged out to meet the standard episode length (several beating-a-dead-horse sketches will have you reaching for the FF button). Also, the plot development leaves the viewer in virtually the exact same place as the season one ending; the final episode here has lots of great animation tricks, but frustratingly brings you right back to where the season started.
Having said that, there are still a few good laughs here - episodes concerning Toki's father, Snakes & Barrels, and the band's weight problems are all great. Die-hard Dethklok fans will want this, but to everyone else: borrow it from a friend.

Great Series - This collection is well done and includes lots of extras and behind the scenes. All the seasons are good but the first one is essential!! You really discover the basis of the main characters and how they came to be the Dean and Sam of the currect episodes. I just became a fan recently and was so glad I went back and bought the seasons to catch up.
An addictive entertaining show 5 out of 5 stars.

Supernatural tells the story of two brothers (Dean and Sam) who experienced the loss of their mother at the hands of a malevolent spirit who likes to tack his victims to the ceiling before engulfing them in flames!
The show could loosely be classified as supernatural horror. Some of the shows are more fun, and others are quite spooky. The brothers each bring a different appeal (Dean being the bad boy loner, and Sam being the clean college driven by revenge). Both actors (Jensen Ackles, Jared Padelecki) are outstanding, working well off each other and the clever scripts.
Each episode is an introduction to some new evil (from dopplegangers to ghosts to anything else you can find in a dusty text on creature lore). Besides making the world a better place, the brothers are also seeking revenge for both their mother and a girlfriend (ah, poor Jess). The closest thing I have seen on TV to Supernatural was the original Kolchak: The Night Stalker series way back in 1974.
If you're looking for a fun and sometimes spooky show starring two excellent young actors, pick up the Supernatural series. Highly recommended!
Written by Arthur Bradley, author of "Process of Elimination" - a thriller that pits a martial artist against a world-class sniper out to shape the presidential election.

Please Come Forth, Fourth Season! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Being a naive 8-year old in a late-30s body, I tend to forget the business aspect of releasing Happy Days seasons. I know it's about money. That said (if I'm not mistaken), Season Three ranked much, much higher in terms of sales on Amazon's ranking system than Seasons 1 and 2. I thought for sure Season Four would come along in quick fashion. It hasn't... and no explanation, anywhere.
I had the thrill of meeting Henry Winkler at a Hank Zipzer book signing in May (2008). He was as electric, and gracious, as everyone has said he is (although I think he was somewhat cautious around a delirious fan who was neither female or a kid). Whatever the case, one of his handlers (for lack of the right word) said he would not be signing Happy Days merchandise (so much for bringing my Season 1 along), and it got me wondering just what is going on behind the scenes (granted it might simply be for the reason Mr. Winkler was there for the purpose of his book). I also wonder if all of us who are die-hard fans who criticized the DVD releases for lack of obtaining music rights from original episodes, lack of any "extras", and occasional poor print quality have done a disservice to the whole thing. We can't have everything the way we'd like it, but if CBS/Paramount pulls the plug on this, we might never see Happy Days in a home-playable form again in our lifetimes (so, yes, I would take what I can get in this case!).
After watching Season Three, I had forgotten how funny the show was at that point (and wildly electric and live). There is a palpable energy that is unmistakable. Yes, the "film" effect of one-camera/no-audience Seasons 1 and 2 are admirable, but Season 3 is like watching Elvis on Ed Sullivan. Pandemonium. And, Season 4 is probably the last "laugh-out-loud-funny" season of all eleven. Don't get me wrong: HD had many layers, but some of the later seasons are heavy on sentiment (like a video Valium pill for the mind) and high 70s TV drama (who can forget a blind Fonzie shaking his fists at God while crying in a Brando-esque way, "How could you do this to ME? I thought I was your favorite person."). But, even as a little kid I remember thinking, "HD that opens with Ron Howard's Richie in his blue high school letter jacket meant "funny"; HD that opens with Ron Howard's red college jacket meant, well, cleaner and often more schlocky fun." Season 4 is that classic "high school senior" season. No Fonzie black t-shirts here. Just edgy, often risque humor.
This was the height of Fonzie Mania before they felt the weight of little kids. Before episodes were built around Fonzie saying smoking wasn't cool, and eyeglasses were. Before the great Garry Marshall went all P.T. Barnum ("see the Amazing Fonzie Battle with the Woman of Catmandu!). ... Hey, it was the 70s. Everyone gets a free pass there.
I'm just pleading with Paramount (hell, anyone): tell us why the hold up? I'll buy five Season Tens (arguably the only really questionable season, whereas the final Season Eleven was brilliant, I think) if we can just get to the classic Season Four! Let's put it this way: Happy Days Season Four was the #1 show of ALL of American television in that 1976-1977 season (yes, above everything; MASH, All in the Family, you name it). And for great reason!
An answer, please. Somebody. Anybody! I'll be the guy trying to burn his 1984 Happy Days finale ("Passages") to DVD in the hope the tape doesn't unravel after 24 years if you're looking for me.
Please keep it going CBS/Paramount and TV gods that be...
Todd

Seriously this is one of the best shows on tv period. Tom welling does a great job portraying a young superman and what would it be without Lex. Great season as usual and its just gets better and better. And i'm loving cloe and louis lane. Aqua man was awesome. Great addition to any collection.
Another interesting year of mythology. 5 out of 5 stars.

Smallville Season Seven is one of the few series that is able to convince me in terms of entertainement, special effects and story arc , in spite of the writers strike.
The special effects improve from season to season and in season seven have reached a new hallmark for Smallville. Sadly, Season Eight got its budget cut and chances are slim that special effects will be as convincing as in season seven.
There is also some new background music playing, especially during the first couple of episodes that deal with the introduction of Clark`s cousin Kara Kent, which gives the show an ulterior mythical atmosphere.
Packaging is the same as S5 and S6, digipack with overlapping discs.
The item I purchased arrived on time and everything from the packaging to the discs was in excellent condition. Thank you amazon.com for your immaculate service :-)

David's Swan Song 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Dr. Who is a family program about a time traveling humanitarian who would do anything to save the lives of innocent people. He's a superhero -- who's primary power is his intellect. He may sound like the product of one too many after-school specials, but the show is a lot of fun. In the first series since 2005, the audience was introduced to the Doctor. Series 2 found the show trying to regain its momentum after Christopher Eccleston left the lead role. And in series 3, David Tennant erased any memory whatsoever of Christopher Eccleston. Three was the series in which David became the Doctor for me. But I digress.
What about series 4? It turns out to be David's swan song. Late last year, Tennant announced that he wouldn't be returning to the role. He's committed to several specials this year and that's it. But take heart, we have the series 4 DVD to remember him by. Fans will buy it regardless. So I'll go easy on the hype.
Series 4 is the most consistently good of all the series. Though Partners in Crime was a yawner for me, all the other episodes were topnotch. Particularly good were the Fires of Pompeii and Planet of the Ood. The latter should be commended for denoucing the horror of slavery in a non-preachy way. Thats not easy to do when you're writing a family show.
My favorites of the year, though, were Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead and Midnight. The former was written by Steve Moffat. Need I say more? The latter by former showrunner Russell T. Davies. Its beyond good. Davies can be campy. But this time he used the show as a commentary on the dark side of human nature. It was even better than the series finale which wrapped up his tenure on the show.
If you enjoy family entertainment or wants something fun for the kids to watch -- buy this dvd.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas because she loves the Gilmore Girls. She had recorded all the shows for the last 6 months but somehow, she missed a lot of the shows especially the last season and didn't get to see the last one. She was so excited to get them and she can't wait to see the last show. This is a great show to have some mother/daughter time and talk about issues.

What an appropriate ending to the best show television has seen since the days of Seinfeld! You cannot beat the wittiness of the Paladinos' writing and the speed of the show just makes it that much more entertaining. Love it, and can't wait for the movie (fingers crossed!).

The exclusive bonus features let you get a behind-the-scenes look at House. I highly recommend this product to any individual or family who just can't get enough of House!
Editorial Review:
Two-time Golden Globe Winner and Primetime Emmy Award nominee Hugh Laurie is back making "House" calls in all 24 engaging episodes of this hit medical series! Dr. Gregory House (Laurie) still has the most unapologetically prickly bedside manner ever but his genius for solving medical mysteries other practitioners can't has earned him the respect of his team. In this provocative and compelling season House's unpredictable cases - from killer germs to killer secrets - strain his already tenuous relationship with his co-workers and put his own health at risk. Take the doctor's orders: make House: Season Three a habit!

Editorial Review:
Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh

If you enjoy this series, this is yet another season that will not disappoint. Jenny is a bit much to handle, as she has let the whole movie "biz" go to her head. All of the characters go through their usual dramas and romances, but the show also manages to touch briefly on some actual social issues.
