Funny and Family Friendly! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a great series that actually relies on wit rather than the "sex sells" mentality that is so prevalient in today's comedy shows. (Granted there is some minor sexual innuendo, but it is very few and far between.)
A great addition for your comedy collection that the whole family can enjoy!

It was a great trip down memory lane seeing these old shows again. Don Adams' comedic timing is impeccable, no one has that kind of timing these days. Barbara Feldon looks and sounds yummy throughout, what a dish ! Ed Platt is hilarious as the deadpan put-upon chief. Feldon also introduces each episode and her voice is as girlish as ever which is a real treat. The 60s really were an excellent ride for us all as far as TV and music were concerned. This a great set, worth every penny !

Just as I remember it from back in the 60's. The color enhancement looks great. Many laughs.
Didn't Play 3 out of 5 stars.

I live in Australia and have bought DVDs from Amazon before and they have played on my DVD player and this one didn't. I was very disappointed I have to say. I can play it on my computer so I can see it, but that isn't the same as in the lounge chair with my feet up.

We get it - get on with it! 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I'm a huge Boston Legal fan,but was quite disappointed with this season.
It's been quite obvious from the first season that the writers of this show are more politically left leaning, as am I, and in the past have enjoyed the Denny/ Right - Alan/ Left themed shows.
However this season got tiring, as every episode seemed a lecture on the evils of the Bush administration, or a lesson and lecture on global warming and nuclear arms. All worthy subjects, but for me not one I want to engage in seriously with show that I usually watch to escape the real world. Writing that has become so blatantly one sided and preachy in a so-called omedy/drama frustrates me. If we want the news, we'll watch it.
Please get back to more entertaining storylines!
Boston Legal Season Last...? 2 out of 5 stars.

Looks like the writers are about out of ideas...I'd guess one more season and this series loses viewer interest...the biting panache of the first season or two has dwindled down into the mindless drivel of a daytime soap opera...with a very slightly legal overtone.

Ooh, Baby, Ooh! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I'm so happy I happened to stumble across this series and watch a few episodes free on Amazon.com. I immediately bought the first season set and became a "Chuck" groupie. This is a fabulous show. The BuyMore Nerd Herders are demented in a hilarious sort of way, Sarah and Casey are always in the midst of exciting action, and Chuck is adorable, engaging, and sharp. Pulled unwittingly into a spy game, Chuck is compelled to be a part of spy action that he is not equipped for, which adds up to a lot of fun and hair-raising close calls. His almost-romance with Sarah is tantalizingly imminent every week, but it always stays just out of reach. This is a great concept--adventure/action, romance, and comedy in every episode. It's simply chock full of fun and excitement. "Chuck" rocks, and I'm an inveterate fan. The first season set is excellent, with virtually every episode superlative. Fun, suspense, and romance--this show can't be beat. It's #1 on my list now.

I wish I would've started watching sooner! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Because I LOVE this series. It has a perfect blend of work and non-work related issues. Most series today aren't attractive because they focus too much on heavy or pointless things. Okay, so this series is basically about pointless things but the way it's written will have you laughing so hard! I usually don't enjoy stupid nonsensical humor (i.e. borat, scary movie, etc) but this is a great show and I don't have to worry about plots who's prime focus is "who is having sex with whom this week?" (i.e. "gossip girl") but is a brilliant intermingling of mood uplifting humor and situations in the workplace that many go through (i.e. weird or annoying co-workers for one) or can relate to. I get tired of shows like sex and the city or gossip girl or desperate housewives. I want something that will actually make me feel better about myself at the end.
Editorial Review:
In this hilarious and faster-paced adaptation of the popular British comedy series, Steve Carell is Michael Scott, the egotistical, insensitive and almost supernaturally incompetent regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Michael sees himself as the office funnyman, a fount of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his staff merely tolerates his inappropriate behavior because he signs their paychecks. Michael acts as the obnoxious tour guide for an omni-present documentary crew who unflinchingly capture his many shortcomings along with Dunder Mifflin's petty workplace politics, simmering romances and side-splittingly awkward moments.

Technical Information vs. Season One 3 out of 5 stars.
11 of 18 people found this review helpful.
Brothers & Sisters Season Two is listed as having a Run Time of "1 minutes" as I write this review; this is clearly wrong. (The Season One DVD set is listed as having a Run Time of 988 minutes.)
Season One had 23 episodes. Season Two had only 16 due to the writers' strike. The Season One collection was on 6 discs. Season Two is on 5 discs. There's no advance information about what extras they added to the Season Two set, but logically you'd expect the price to be about 2/3 of that of Season One. That's not the case.
I won't go into details about the Season Two plot lines involving the faux Walker sibling; others can cover that. But based only on the amount of content versus the price of the set, I've got to say I'm disappointed.
Editorial Review:
Enter the fascinating world of the Walkers, and explore what is means to be an American family in the 21st century. Though they live very different and conflicting lives, the Walkers find unity under the family roof. Relationships bend but never break as they strive to find their own identities and embrace each other s differences. This is a series to watch, raves the San Francisco Chronicle. Welcome home a family you can root for in one of televisions most captivating and insightful dramas. Calista Flockhart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths and Ron Rifkin lead a stellar cast in ABC s critically-acclaimed hit Brothers & Sisters.

great show, disappointing packaging 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I purchased this after selling my boxed sets. I wish I had just kept them. The packaging consists of a cardboard box with a cardboard "book" that has cheap cardboard sleeve inserts for the dvds so I had to buy a new case to put the dvds in to prevent scratching (if you own the Sex and the City dvd collection its almost the same concept), the ribbon that lifts the "book" out of the box became detached right away and I notice creasing that developed in the cardboard pages which makes me think they will eventually wear out and tear the pages apart. Bonus features were very disappointing, I have the Sex and the City dvd collection and they had better bonus features. There could have been montages, farewell colllections, video clips, award show scenes or something. No interviews with James Gandolfini at all! I just think HBO went cheap considering the status and impact that this show had. Whaddya gonna do about it though right?
Editorial Review:
For six seasons, fans have devotedly watched Tony Soprano deal with the difficulties of balancing his home life with the criminal organization he leads. Audiences everywhere tuned in to see the mob, the food, the family, and who was next to be whacked. Celebrate the show that Vanity Fair called, "the greatest show in TV history", in the ultimate Sopranos collector's edition.

I've been watching The Wire fpr several years now, and now that I've watched the final season I feel like I've graduated or something. I'm sad because this is definitely one of my favorite TV series of all time. It's just so addictive: smart, interesting, very well written and acted. I love The Wire.
Editorial Review:
In the projects. On the docks. In City Hall. In the schools. And now, in the media. The places and faces have changed, but the game remains the same. Times are tough for the detail. Mayor Carcetti has slashed the departments budget to the bone. Police are operating without overtime some without cars and radios. Angered, McNulty is off the rails again and headed down a dangerous path of deception and lies that will ally him with an unscrupulous reporter. The drug trade still rules the corners, all you have to do is read between the lines.DVD Features:

Editorial Review:
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs a man of few words only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis Ari the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum) who knows it all because he's seen it all and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.System Requirements:Running Time: 835 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 097361375540 Manufacturer No: 137554

Two men and a boy 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
This show is funny.
The story is this, Charlie Harper is a bachelor living in California. His brother Alan got divorced and moved in with him along with his nephew Jake.
Last season Charlie had gotten back together with his former flame Mia. They almost got married in Vegas, but instead Alan and his 22 year old girlfriend Kandi got married before winning a half a million dollars in the slots.
During this season Alan's marriage is over and he moves back in with Charlie. Also during the season Alan's ex wife Judith gets married to Jakes pediatrician Herb Melnick, and Alan and Charlie's mother has a new flame in Teddy (played by Robert Wagner)
The season is a hoot with good acting by Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.
These guys get funnier and funnier 5 out of 5 stars.

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.
