I bought this tv series for my sisters birthday because she had been wanting it for a long time. I was very happy to find out that to buy it brand new it was cheaper on amazon then anywhere else. The transaction went very smoothly and I got it delivered in the mail a few days later. I now know where to look for great deals when I can't find them anywhere else.
Editorial Review:
After 20-plus years of single motherhood, after a series of Mr. Not- Quite-Rights, after buying that perfect wedding dress and watching it hang in the closet, Lorelai finally gets married. Yes, but to whom? The answer is just one of the deliciously intriguing what's-gonna-happens in these 22 episodes about a mother, a daughter, a town and a world that devoted Gilmore groupies have taken as their own. Sharpen your wits for the famed, fast-paced Gilmore dialogue -- but let your heart do its thing. From Stars Hollow to New York City to Paris... from Lorelai's wedding to Lane's baby shower to Rory's graduation... from beginning to middle to end... here's Season 7.

Only eleven episodes for $27.99 ??? 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I absolutely love this show and own the Season 1,2,and 3 but Season 3 was very disappointing. The season starts out with a bang, but slowly slips downhill and no real season grand finale. And with only 11 episodes for $27.99, I think this is a total rip-off for the loyal fans of the Unit! WHAT - is Hollywood running out of money ???
Its back...in full effect 5 out of 5 stars.

After what I felt was a lackluster second season, this short season's returns to the action that made the first season amazing. The stakes are a little high in some of the episodes (I wont spoil things, but I'm sometimes amazed that they dont mobilize The Army instead of The Unit when faced with the trials and tribulations they do), but the interaction with the wives and families is a lot more complementary than a separate drama.
The only thing missing? The theme from seasons 1 and 2! I like the new song by Robert Duncan, but I thought the "Fired Up" cadence from the first two seasons was a rare case of a flawless theme song. But I'll forgive it.

Never received product more than a month later and no response from service department after email inquiry. Do not purchase anything from Royal Video. And Amazon claims no responsibility even though they list it on their site. What's the point?
Excellent Television Series 5 out of 5 stars.

There are few television series' that hold a standard of excellence like "The West Wing." I bought the entire set when Amazon finally had it on the Deal of the Day and I am excited to watch each show all over again.

Finally vintage rare WWII cartoons along with your usual favs 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.
Let's face it--"Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 6" isn't going to please everyone. If you're looking for an exceptional collection of "classics" that you grew up on watching TV, go for the "Spotlight Collection, Volume 6" as it features the highlights of this set plus two handfuls of rare cartoons that haven't been seen in some time. For many fans, though, this set is just about perfect. It includes rare vintage World War II cartoons that featured Bugs and other Warner staples face-to-face with Hitler and others as well as a great collection of classic cartoons.
Here's a break down and brief synposis of most of the cartoons on each disc:
To Duck...or Not to Duck- A Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon by Tedd Pierce and Chuck Jones. Daffy is in his goofy incarnation and the relationship here hints at the one that Jones would develop between Bugs and Elmer later.
Birth of a Notion - One of the rare war time efforts included here from Volume 6--a great one I might add) belongs to the Blue Ribbon group of reissued cartoons which means there are no credits for who wrote and directed it but it clear is a Bob Clampett effort that follows Daffy Duck as he tries to get a home for the winter by "appearing" to save a dog from being poisoned.
My Little Duckaroo (Daffy again)
Crowing Pains -Foghorn Leghorn in his first cartoon
Raw! Raw! Rooster -Another Foghorn cartoon with McKimson at his best. Heaven Scent -Peppy Le Pew one Jones few characters that I never really appreciated.
My Favorite Duck-One of the first pairings of Jones and Maltese also puts together Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as the latter tries to prevent Porky from camping out. Porky wears what looks like a baby nipple on his head. It's a chuckle.
Jumpin' Jupiter -Sylvester and Porky abducted by aliens.
Satan'a Waitin' -A hilarious cartoon where Sylvester's need to get Tweety puts him in...Hell.
Hook, Line and Stinker -A Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoon...not his best but has its moments
Bear Feat
Dog Gone South-Once again features Charlie the dog that no one wants because he is obnoxious this time matching wits with a southern plantation owner.
A Ham in a Role Those Goofy Gofers show up in another McKimson cartoon.
Often an Orphan Charlie the Dog...you know the annoying one that keeps trying to be adopted by...someone...anyone! A Jones/Maltese production it's clever.
The second disc focuses on the patriotic/World War II cartoons that often were seen only once in theaters unless a revival house showed them or they were shown in a class on animation. These include:
Herr Meets Hare( A funny Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs treats Herman Goring like he's Elmer Fudd and impersonates Hitler and Stalin!) Russian Rhapsody (Originally entitled "Gremlins" by Bob Clampett--another funny one with impeccable draftsmanship by McKimson. Hitler decides to bomb Russia himself but is foiled by Russian Gremlins!
Daffy-The Commando (Self explanatory)
Bosko The Doughboy (A rare World War II short)
Rookie Revue -is another war time short from Freleng giving us an imagery day in the army
The Draft Horse (As Greg Ford points out in his excellent commentary this one was a turning point for Chuck Jones who had primarily been known for his cute Disney character pieces. Chuck stepped into Wackyland here) The Weakly Reporter (" a Jones/Maltese collaboration as with many of these one-off's is related to the World War II. It's a humorous look at how the average person has been affected by the war. It's got a number of clever gags.
Fifth Column Mouse
Meet John Doughboy
Hollywood Canine Canteen
By Word of Mouse Friz Freleng's ode to capitalism with Hans the Mouse. Heir-Conditioned -Bugs again
Yankee Dood T -Features Elmer as King of the Elves who wants the Shoemaker to give all of the Elves up. It's another primer in capitalism. Sylvester also appears and takes great interest in the Elves hoping that through the use of a magic word to turn them all into mice.
Disc Three takes on Bosko (an early Warner character who lost favor by the time that Bugs, Daffy and the other characters were in development) and other early Merrie Melodies stars and this disc includes:
Congo Jazz Smile, Darn Ya, Smile The Booze Hangs High One More Time Bosko's Picture Show You Don't Know What You're Doin'! We're in the Money Ride Him, Bosko Shuffle Off to Buffalo Bosko in Person The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon Buddy's Day Out Buddy's Beer Garden Buddy's Circus A Cartoonist's Nightmare dates from 1935 and is an early black and white Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Jack King
Disc four features a variety of classic cartoons under the "Assorted Nuts" title some of which had characters that only appeared a couple of times and some where they only appeared one time.
Horton Hatches the Egg -A Chuck Jones collaboration with Ted Giesel aka Dr. Seuss
Lights Fantastic -A Broadway musical cartoon focusing on the "life" of signs by Freleng
Fresh Airedale -Again, featuring Charlie the Dog, this is one of the Blue Ribbon cartoons. These reissues often left off the credits as to who created the cartoon. This one looks like one of Art Davis' efforts but without a commentary track and without looking it up I can't say for certain)
Chow Hound
The Oily American
It's Hummer Time is a Warren Foster-Robert McKimson collaboration. McKimson one of the finest draftsmen and animators often was slighted for the cartoons he directed simply because they didn't have the quirky personality of Jones' work or the slapstick insanity of Freleng's. This is a terrific effort from McKimson with wonderfully rich characterizations
Rocket-Bye Baby -Another Michael Maltese-Chuck Jones science fiction classic where babies are delivered to the wrong planet. As with all of the Jones-Maltese collaborations its innovative, funny and shows the unique chemistry of these two who did some of their best work along with designer Maurice Noble
Goo Goo Goliath- A clever cartoon by the perfect team of Warren Foster and Fritz Freleng with expert animation by Art Davis among others that focuses on a drunk stork who delivers the son of the Giant who lives at the top of a bean stock to a normal sized family.
"Wild Wife" is another McKimson/Foster effort from the 50's focusing on a woman's typical day when her husband scoffs at the fact that she doesn't have enough time to do all the chores.
Much Ado About Nutting-This is a Jones-Maltese collaboration. Jones and his animators were always able to elicit laughs out of the slightest movement of a facial muscle and this one is no exception involving a chipmunk who believes he has hit the motherlode when he stumbles on a peanut vendor...
The Hole Idea -A scientist invents portable holes a decade before "Yellow Submarine".
Now Hear This
Martian Through Georgia
Page Miss Glory- is a very early effort with designs that firmly puts it in either the late 30's or early 40's before Warner developed the rambunctious style that would become a hallmark of the studio. ***
Norman Normal- Directed by Alex Lovy, this is a relative rare 60's cartoon. None of the "regular" Warner star characters are involved.
Special features include a documentary on Mel Blanc, audio commentaries by Greg Ford, Mark Kausler and historian Jerry Beck. The commentary on "Fifth Column Mouse" is missing.
We get "Daffy Duck's Easter Special" a cheap prime time special made by DePathie-Freleng the company that Friz founded to do the Pink Panther cartoons. It's co-written by Friz and directed by him. ***
"Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court" is another prime time special this one co-written and directed by Chuck Jones. Aside from Jones' distinctive animation and drawing style, there really isn't much to this tale where Bugs crosses swords with Elmer Fudd who believes he's a dragon and presents him to King Arthur played by the usually clueless Daffy Duck. It's mildly entertaining but the production values are low and the characters just don't gel but it's nice to have them.
We also get a number of extra cartoons including Friz Freleng's "Captain and the Kids" black and white cartoons done for MGM as well as Chuck Jones' counterpart to "Duck Amuck" featuring Bugs Bunny which is often criticized as not being as funny as "Duck Amuck". Perhaps it isn't but seeing Bugs change in a variety of "other" creatures is a chuckle.
There is also a collection of Bosko and Buddy cartoons included as well as Private Snafu and other cartoons that were done in B&W some specifically only for the troops to see.
Overall, this is an outstanding collection that looks quite good. It's marred only by the inclusion of some less than classic cartoons that were included for completists or because they fit with the theme of this set (which probably would have been more appropriate to release around the 4th of July given the cover). Hopefully the next series will focus on the various Warner "persoanlities" and eras as opposed to being an occasional hodge-podge mixture of classic, historically important and rare cartoons.
Editorial Review:
Here comes the highly-anticipated sixth volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, the studio's largest Looney Tunes compilation of animated shorts to date. Fans won't want to miss this golden opportunity to own over 60 classic, fully re-mastered and restored cartoons, presented in their original un-edited format. Most of the shorts in the collection have never been available on DVD before.

Editorial Review:
As the 2005 theatrical release of Serenity made clear, Firefly was a science fiction concept that deserved a second chance. Devoted fans (or "Browncoats") knew it all along, and with this well-packaged DVD set, those who missed the show's original broadcasts can see what they missed. Creator Joss Whedon's ambitious science-fiction Western (Whedon's third series after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) was canceled after only 11 of these 14 episodes had aired on the Fox network, but history has proven that its demise was woefully premature. Whedon's generic hybrid got off to a shaky start when network executives demanded an action-packed one-hour premiere ("The Train Job"); in hindsight the intended two-hour pilot (also titled "Serenity," and oddly enough, the final episode aired) provides a better introduction to the show's concept and splendid ensemble cast. Obsessive fans can debate the quirky logic of combining spaceships with direct parallels to frontier America (it's 500 years in the future, and embattled humankind has expanded into the galaxy, where undeveloped "outer rim" planets struggle with the equivalent of Old West accommodations), but Whedon and his gifted co-writers and directors make it work, at least well enough to fashion a credible context from the incongruous culture-clashing of past, present, and future technologies, along with a polyglot language (the result of two dominant superpowers) that combines English with an abundance of Chinese slang.
What makes it work is Whedon's delightfully well-chosen cast and their nine well-developed characters--a typically Whedon-esque extended family--each providing a unique perspective on their adventures aboard Serenity, the junky but beloved "Firefly-class" starship they call home. As a veteran of the disadvantaged Independent faction's war against the all-powerful planetary Alliance (think of it as Underdogs vs. Overlords), Serenity captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) leads his compact crew on a quest for survival. They're renegades with an amoral agenda, taking any job that pays well, but Firefly's complex tapestry of right and wrong (and peace vs. violence) is richer and deeper than it first appears. Tantalizing clues about Blue Sun (an insidious mega-corporation with a mysteriously evil agenda), its ties to the Alliance, and the traumatizing use of Serenity's resident stowaway (Summer Glau) as a guinea pig in the development of advanced warfare were clear indications Firefly was heading for exciting revelations that were precluded by the series' cancellation. Fortunately, the big-screen Serenity (which can be enjoyed independently of the series) ensured that Whedon's wild extraterrestrial west had not seen its final sunset. Its very existence confirms that these 14 episodes (and enjoyable bonus features) will endure as irrefutable proof Fox made a glaring mistake in canceling the series. --Jeff Shannon

The third season keeps the show rolling with the main story line of Dean's impending death on track with all their side stories as well. It sheds light into how this life takes a toll on them but keeps their witty banter instilled in each show as well.
Editorial Review:
The yellow-eyed demon is vanquished, but at a terrible price. The battle that brought him down released hundreds of demons from Hell into an unsuspecting world. And it cost Sam his life. But a grief-stricken Dean made a deal with the Crossroad Demon – his soul for Sam's resurrection. Now Dean has just one year to live. One year to fight the unholy, the twisted, the ghoulish. One year to say farewell to Sam. And one year for Sam to search desperately for some way to save his brother. Mind-bending adventure awaits as the Winchester brothers continue their astonishing odyssey into the supernatural...and their personal odyssey into destiny.

Excellent Show with Lots of Surprises 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I first learned about this show on the BBC America website. Since I don't have BBC America, I was able to purchase a show on iTunes to check it out. I loved it so much that I bought two more and had to get the DVD set when it came out. Primeval was created by the talented team who made Walking with Dinosaurs for the Discovery channel and their influence shows. The show has a wondeful strong science core mantained by the lead Douglass Henshall as Nick Cutter. The team members of Stephen, Abby and Conner as the core group are also excellent. When I received my set,I was intially disappointed that there were no episode guides or booklets in the set as with the Dr. Who DVDs. After watching all the episodes, I can see why. The producers want you to be surprised by the outcome. Other reviewers have pointed out series highlights, so I won't go into great detail. I will say that the production features are high quality and outstanding. The monsters are scary and interesting and they don't go into gore as Torchwood does. The way the series starts out, is not how it ends and many character nuances are brought to the fore. I for one was completely surprised at the changes and revelations. I cannot wait for series three! The theories of the anomalies leading to both past and present are extremely interesting and the consequences of such are fascinating. It is outstanding work. The Brits keep coming with the best sci-fi shows and Primeval joins Dr. Who and Torchwood as my favorite shows. The wrting is top notch, the stories are interesting and creative and they are putting US TV sci-fi to shame. Grab this DVD set and enjoy!

The Rural Juror... Try Saying That 3 Times Fast 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Liz Lemon (you gotta love that name) is surrounded by chaos, and without her, the world would fall apart without somebody keeping it spinning and/or GE would lose tons of money. 30 Rock is simply a show about crazy, over-inflated egos, and the girl that tries to keep them all together. And while Tina Fey amazingly plays the straight girl (to the confusion, and bemusement of some), the show's humor comes from the out of control egos, from the dumb blond, Jenna, self-proclaimed mental, Tracy Jordan, and the Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming, Jack Donaghy (NOT Donahy).
Amazingly, the only episode that is a complete mess is "The Pilot," but as the show progresses, and finds its footing after a mere 4 episodes. From there on out, it's brilliant. The show creates compelling and humorous storylines, crafting great characters along the way. The humor is not always prevalent however, especially in Liz Lemon's personal storylines, but the show certainly has its moments, such as the classic fireworks spectacular that you have to see to believe. The show also greatly benefits from pitch-perfect casting. Also surprisingly, the show doesn't misuse, overuse, or abuse its use of guest stars (in this season).
I must admit, it took 3 years for me to get into the show, but once you get into it, it compels you to keep pressing on. I don't really know why, or how they do it. They just do it. And the show deserves all the acclaim it receives, and yes, it deservedly beat The Office for at least this season. I look forward to spending more time with Liz Lemon, the best named character on TV.
Editorial Review:
Emmy Award winner Tina Fey writes, executive produces, and stars as Liz Lemon, the head writer of a live variety program in New York City. Liz's life is turned upside down when brash new network executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin in his Golden Globe winning role) interferes with her show, bringing the wildly unpredictable Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) into the cast. Now it's up to Liz to manage the mayhem and still try and have a life. Join in the behind-the-scenes hilarity with the complete first season (21 episodes) on DVD.

This series is so well-done. Not only is the storyline completely intriguing and complex, the animation is stunning. If you're interested in watching this show, start at the beginning with Book 1 and work your way up; the story builds on itself so it helps to watch them in order. Having this Book on DVD is so nice because not only is each episode commercial-free, but you don't have to wait a week to see the next episode. And trust me, that's a big deal with this show because it's very suspenseful. At first I had my doubts about how intriguing a cartoon could be, but this show definitely proved me wrong. The screenwriters are very gifted story-tellers and that comes through so strongly in this series.

disappointed 1 out of 5 stars.

I read all those wonderful reviews and then watched the film. I was disappointed and felt like another reviewer - let down.
I have been a Stargate SG1 and Stargate Alantis fan for years. It was cool to see them together for a brief few moments but then it turned out to be another episode. Where was the originality, the interaction, the character development? This movie could have rocked the house instead I went and made dinner. Returning to realize I didn't need to rewind. Admittedly, I did rewind the first time but then didn't bother for the second and third. I was getting bored.
I wish it was more and I think the disappointment was in I expected it to be more than just another episode. Everything was so predictable - a cash cow.
I am so glad I rented. I won't waste my money.

Baal travels back in time and prevents the Stargate program from ever being started. SG-1 team must somehow restore history and once again save the galaxy from oppressive domination.
