Mahler: Symphonies Nos.1-10 [Blu-ray]

state-of-the art HD recording
I purchased this blu ray box from "amazon.fr".(Kind understaning for my poor English would be highly appreciated.)

"Dreams come true!" By having this RCO Mahler blu ray box, we can enjoy full-scope of Gustav Mahler's universe of sound even in home-audio system. Frankly speaking, conventional CD format can't afford to reproduce Mahler's extraordinary wide range of dynamics. SACD(e.g. Chailly's RCO M3 by Decca, or Ivan Fischer's BFO M6 by Channel)could provide better presentation of Mahler's symphonies. And advance of blu ray technology can make Mahler's music presented as realistic as possible.(Abbado's Lucerne Festival & Chailly's Leipzig Mahler Festival)
RCO Mahler box is especially notable for its 24 bits/96 khz PCM & 96 khz DTS-HD MA audio format.

It is a little difficult to define "what is standard format of blu ray audio?" At this stage, average specification of up to now released classical music blu ray discs would be summarized as 24 bits/48 khz PCM &...

A welcome cost-effective antidote to the greed of some European labels!
First off, hats off to the RCO for producing their own complete set of Mahler symphonies plus Das Lied and Totenfeier, recorded over a seventeen month period, utilizing nine different conductors. Each work occupies its own disc (dvd or bluray), and this review is for the bluray. You can buy this set (11 discs) for $86 inc. shipping from 'import cds' in California.(this is cheaper than Amazon) Compare this - less than $8 per disc - to the $36 per disc charged by the Accentus label through Amazon for barely 60" of music! Well done!

Most of the reviews I've seen for this set seem to have been rushed out, and, because I have been guilty in the past of writing reviews after only one run-through, I have waited to do this one until I had listened to everything at least twice. Believe me - I grew fonder of several of these performances after a second audition. There's just too much in a Mahler symphony to assimilate critically in one sitting.

There seems to have been a...

Just a comment
Just want to add a short comment,these blu ray discs are locked to region B,you will encounter problems playing these discs if you own a region A (USA)Blu ray player.I own players for both region and it just will not play on any three of my region A players,it is until I tried them on Region B player,they played well without any problem.
Audio and interpretation of conductor is very good , picture quality is fine too.

Charlie's Dad Visits

tv series
Charlie Sheen is absolutely hilarious. He has his personal issues but he delivers on set all the time! He cracks me up!!!

BAD canned laughs
I like the show. I like the writing. I like the acting. It is pretty funny. But the laugh track is HORRIBLE. It ruins everything. Is it meant to be a BAD parody of a laugh track ? Whatever... it does not work for me. I am going to watch one more show. But if they don't knock it off I am OUT.

so glad that Charlie is back!
We loved Charlie on Two & !/2 Men,in spiteof himself. Now we have Charlie, but a more mature and intelligent version. Without the drunkenness. Still razor sharp wit and great comic timing. Now if we could just get Holland Taylor on Anger Management it would be great. Love seeing Martin Sheen on the show too.

Resurrection [HD]

mob doctor
im so pissed fox cancel this show. the only show on fox i watched. their crazy. without a doubt my favorite show

ACTION, SUSPENCE, AND EDGE OF YOUR SEAT VIEWING!
The pilot was very good. Things moved fast, not much time to get bored. There is alot of anticipation as to what will happen next, and what does happen is generally unexpected. This new series is quite a roller coaster ride and promises to be a first rate program. Takes place in Chicago, present day. A woman doctor's brother is in trouble with the local mob. The Dr. agrees to help the mob out by patching up Goodfellas, if they leave her brother alone. The brother is a bit of a looser, so we can expect alot more trouble in future episodes. However, things tend to get out of hand for the good doctor, both with the mob and with everyday situations at the hospital. Good stuff, well worth your time to check it out.

One of the best new shows.
Good Characters, Great Stories in a Great City. Good writing and lots of fun. 5 stars easily. To me i cant see how anyone would give it less than 4.

Elmo's Day Out [HD]

Not my favorite season.
I am a huge fan of Ina Garten and it is said for me not to give it five stars. Her recipes are always amazing and always work as long as you follow her guidance. The only reason why I am giving it three stars is I'm not fond of the new format. The show feels as though it has run out of ideas. My favorite show of the season was where she asked cooks what they make on their day off. Having watched Ina over the years I was rather surprised that she aired the Kimchi and rice segment. It was pretty clear that she didn't like the ingredient and when she tasted the rice it was clear to me that she didn't like it.

The other episode that I liked was where she had the individual brownies and the dish from Spago. The roasted veg was clearly a hit at Spago, but it didn't seem to fit with her style of cooking... Not the best and appreciate the classic Barefoot Contessa from the beginning...

i like barefoot contessa, but she is good in small doses
love it its really great! its a little to scripted...so its good in small doses lol but go with the flow and enjoy

Love Barefoot Contessa
Great show with wonderful cooking tips from Ina. I love how her recipes are easy and perfect for entertaining family and friends.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: Season Two

This release contains the TV MOVIE version of the Pilot--1st time EVER on DVD!!!
...just a heads-up, that BUCK ROGERS: Season 2 contains the NBC-TV MOVIE version of the Pilot, titled "Awakening" as a special extra/bonus on Disc #4--this is the FIRST TIME that this version of the Pilot has been commercially available (it wasn't included in the 2004 BUCK ROGERS: The Complete Epic Series DVD set). The TV MOVIE version of the Pilot runs roughly 9 minutes longer than the Theatrical version and contains at least two additional scenes with a different beginning and a different (more satisfying) ending. Fun stuff from back in the day... BUCK ROGERS!!!

Didn't need season 2
I purchased this along with the complete series set. I found out that the complete series included season 2 so I didn't need it. In fact the complete series was even cheaper. I don't like returning things so I kept it but I don't know why they just released season 2 if it was included on the full series box set. However I get both when they were promised will use Amazon for further purchases. I never any complaints and they are a great source to find those hard to find items.

Just Plain fun !
The second season of Buck Rogers found Buck and Wilma holding hands and going forth into the universe on a mission of exploration. I was never sure just what they were looking for, but the wisecracking relationship betweenthem changed to "good-buddy" kinda deal. Buck turned into an intelligent he-man leader, and Wilma turned into a beautiful, sexy, wishy-washy sort of girl-friend, who usually needed saving from herself in most episodes.
The second season wasn't as good as the first, but since I was, and still are an Erin Gray fan, I watched every episode. It was still fun.

Dinotopia & Journey to the Center of the Earth - Fantasy Double Feature

Two Fantasy Miniseries
It seems that lavish television mini-series is a thing of the past, except for the occasional western or period miniseries on cable. As a kid I look forward to watching them, normally airing during the sweep months on February or May. Mill Creek Entertainment has recently released the three-part Dinotopia and the two-part Journey to the Center of the Earth in a 2 disc set. Both miniseries were produced by Hallmark Entertainment (now known as Sonar Entertainment).

Dinotopia is based on the children books by James Gurney. It aired on the Wonderful World of Disney in 2002 and later spawned a short-lived spin-off series. The miniseries drops the books' steampunk atmosphere and focuses on two half-brothers, Karl and David Scott, who finds themselves stranded on the strange land of Dinotopia after their plane crashes into the sea with their father. They meet a mysterious man, Cyrus Crabb, who leads them to the capital of Dinotopia, Waterfall City. David wants to try and learn the...

Family-Oriented Fantasies
This two-disc set collects two different "Lost World"-type miniseries that are largely forgotten today. It's a shame they're forgotten because both of them are mostly fun, decently budgeted family-oriented entertainment of the type we just don't get much anymore. Kids like straightforward fantasy that doesn't simultaneously ridicule itself, and these films are long on earnestness and devoid of irony and sarcasm.

"Dinotopia" is the better of the two miniseries, and well-worth the modest asking price. It's a very gentle, benign story about two teenaged boys who find themselves trapped on an island where benevolent dinosaurs and humans have mutually crafted a peaceful utopia. The first of the three episodes is admittedly on the dull side due to an odd lack of suspense, but the second and third episodes are much, much better. The series uses a setting based on James Gurney's gorgeously illustrated 'Dinotopia' books, which is why they are strong on visuals and a fairly placid...

Good family movie
I loved dinotopia and so did my children. It was a great buy for a combo pack. Journey to the center of the earth was a bit slow for them, they didn't really get into it.

Midsomer Murders, Set 21 [Blu-ray]

Macabre Midsomer
Midsomer County is oddly rife with peculiar mysteries and creative demises, but DCI John Barnaby is as gifted with powers of keen observation as his cousin, retired DCI Tom Barnaby. Sykes, John Barnaby's expressive dog, is also welcome! Neil Dudgeon, as the new DCI Barnaby, is an excellent addition to Midsomer, with his capacity for nuance; humor and seriousness shadow his countenance. The Barnabys are an old Midsomer family; in this verdant environment there are often recurring family resemblances (recall the funereal duo in first Midsomer mystery, "The Killings of Badger's Drift"). An amorous "look-alike" gardener was featured earlier in Midsomer, likely DCI John Barnaby is also good with plants. As always, the intrepid Jason Hughes is a wonderful foil as Detective Inspector Ben Jones, his wry humor adds another level of complexity to the series. The U.K. boasts many fine, underrated actors. Catch Dudgeon as a WWI vet/chauffeur in...

Set 21
My wife and I are huge fans of Midsomer Murders. We just watched all four episodes of Set 21 on Acorn Streaming. We were most unhappy with the "new" show. The new Barnaby seems aloof and has no sense of humor. It was sad to see Jones be his second in command. It would have been nice to see Jones move into the Barnaby role. He has the personality and could have carried it off. My personal choice would have seen the actor who played "Dangerous Davies" take over the lead role.

The stories were dull and uninteresting.

As an unwelcome parting shot; George the medical examiner anounced that he was retiring and that would be his last show. I used to purchase these sets on Amazon. I have them all. Sadly Set 20 was and will be my last purchase.

We miss our old friend John Nettles.

Is Midsomer becoming CSI?
Midsomer Murders used to provide a mystery to unravel at a slow, leisurely pace amid the lovely setting of an English village and its eccentric inhabitants. Murder was the propelling force for action, but the real focus was on characterization, personal interaction, the setting and the culture of the English village as interpreted in the series. In particular, the viewer normally faced with the carnage of popular movies and television could find respite with a cerebral journey as Barnaby and Jones unravelled the mystery of the day. Enter Season 21 of Midsomer and the gruesome visage of a dismembered body in Echoes of the Dead and giggling, invasive school girls in Death in the Slow Lane. Dark Secrets fared a little better but salacious elements, gratuitous sex and incest, occupied center stage too readily and too much. I have not viewed The Oblong Murders yet, so perhaps all is not lost if it contains some saving grace.

BabyFirst Sweet Dreams - Soothing Sights and Sounds

Good, but...
I like this dvd except for the sound between sections. It puts my son to sleep in the car, but if I have it just a tad too loud (and it's not loud at all) the scares him awake. So I keep it really, really low in volume and it's nice.

It's Great!!
My 2 year old niece loves Baby First tv channel. When she is at my house, that is all we watch,
unless we are watching movies!!

Sleepy Parents' Dream
I love this DVD! I discovered the program at my mother's house and my 4 mo. daughter really seemed to enjoy watching it--she would settle down and drift to sleep. My husband and I were planning a road trip, driving 12 hours to Alabama with my 3 yr old son and daughter. I paid for overnight shipping, hoping that my daughter would be able to watch this on a portable DVD and that it would be soothing; helping to make the journey nice at least some of the time. The DVD is 2 hrs of soothing images and music. It was a big hit. Not only would she watch it, but my son would watch it and fall asleep too. Best few bucks I could have spent. I wish an electronic version was available for my Kindle or iPAD. Thinking of buying an extra DVD for her overnight bag or to keep in the car.

Hour: Season Two

The Hour Back and Better Than Ever
The minute I saw the preview for season one in 2011 this show was on my radar as a 'Must See', and it did not disappoint. After the season ended, I immediately pre-ordered the DVDs and have watched them repeatedly.

This year The Hour has returned with season two, and I have to say it has only stepped up it's game (which was a TALL order to accomplish in my book seeing as how I adored season one). In my foray through the world of tv I have found time and again that it is a rare show indeed that only gets better with season two, and this show is one of those rare gems. There is a reason it has received critical acclaim.

The writing is done brilliantly by Abi Morgan (Shame, The Iron Lady). It never fails to grip me and draw me into the characters and the conflicts which they face. What impresses me the most is both the dynamic writing for all of the characters and the fact that the historical setting (this year being the Cold War) is never romanticized, but...

Six More Episodes: This Period Workplace Drama Gets Tough On Crime And Institutionalized Corruption
When the BBC period drama "The Hour" premiered on American TV last year, critics were quick to draw comparisons to AMC's "Mad Men." While both shows might appeal to the same adult demographic, however, I never really gave much credence to this categorization. In fact, the two shows have little in common aside from being period piece dramas bolstered by an easy social atmosphere of drinking and smoking. While there is plenty of workplace intrigue inherent in both shows, Season One of "The Hour" also mixed in a fair share of government espionage. It introduced us to the birth of a TV newsmagazine show called The Hour (how appropriate) as it struggled to find its footing. With the six new episodes of Season Two, The Hour is battling to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive TV market (a timely subject that never seems to go out of style). Principle story threads include a nefarious local business man, a honey pot scandal, police corruption, racial unrest, as well as unexpected...

Engrossing, though not quite as great as season 1
Season 2 of The Hour will appeal to anybody who liked season 1, though in some respects it's quite a different program. It's much more of a thriller than a mystery (after the first two episodes, anyway). It involves the culture of celebrity and domestic corruption much more than superpower politics. Most significantly, the plot has much more to do with Hector and Marnie Madden than Freddie and Bel. Oona Chaplin steals the show almost as much as Ben Whishaw and Anna Chancellor did in season 1, and Dominic West gets some great scenes playing off of her (his final scene with her in episode 6 is striking and memorable, and his best work so far in this program).

The ending of season 2 is much more tense and scary than anything in season 1. There's nothing in this season as inexplicable as the suicide of Thomas Kish in season 1. It holds together pretty well.

I can't discuss the weak points without giving away much of the plot. Suffice it to say that I would have had...

Enlightened: The Complete First Season

An Uncharacteristic HBO Dramedy That Features One Of TV's Most Complex And Underrated Performances
One of the lowest rated programs on HBO's 2011 roster, "Enlightened" (created by stars Mike White and Laura Dern) was both fascinatingly unpredictable and practically impossible to describe succinctly. It's closest cousins are probably the Showtime line-up of wacky female-centric comedies--such as Nurse Jackie, The Big C, Weeds, and United States of Tara. But that comparison is mostly about tone and viewpoint as "Enlightened" has a distinctly unique voice that is unlike anything else on the TV landscape. Some episodes play rather seriously, others highlight slapstick mayhem, while others are incisive and filled with awkward humor. Is it a comedy? Certainly. Is it dramatic? You bet. Is it one of the most pointed character studies on TV? Absolutely, and this, more than anything else, is "Enlightened" strongest asset. Spiritual enlightenment and striving to create a more perfect world are usually topics handled with a startling lack of subtlety in comedy. They are almost always the...

Quiet and Beautiful Desperation
I randomly caught the first few minutes of this show when switching between channels and it immediately dawned on me to set up my DVR for the season. I'm so happy I did, with a virtually perfect performance by Laura Dern, it seems apparent why she was so passionate about the show being made she produced it herself. The portrayal of a central character who, to me anyway, sends the viewer in between moments of complete admiration and love for the character to moments of complete horror and complete discomfort. Casting a character who causes such varied states of emotion in a view is risky at best, as evidenced by the lackluster ratings of the show, but Dern's much deserved Golden Globe win may give this understated and ultimately beautiful show the second chance it deserves. I'll sure as hell be there for season two.

Amazing series- this will blow you away
I LOVE this series- it's my hands down favorite show! It is written so well and the mood of the series is wonderful- I cannot wait for more.

Tiny Toon Adventures: Vol. 3 - Crazy Crew Rescues!

Tiny Toon Adventures Volume 3
I grew up watching the zany Tiny Toon Adventures. I bought the first two volumes when they were released to DVD, but Warner Bros. has been lazy in releasing the series. Back in August, they finally released Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation. I love the series, but the picture quality hasn't been the best, more or less like a VHS recording. I do hope that Warner Bros. listens to the fans and releases a remastered Volume 3.

According to the press release Volume 3 will have seventeen episodes on two discs.

Disc 1:

Episode 66 - Pledge Week (It's All Relatives; Lifeguard Lunacy; The Kite)

Episode 67 - Going Places (When You're Hot; That's Art Folks; Slaughterhouse Jive)

Episode 68 - Elephant Issues (Why Dizzy Can Read; C.L.I.D.E. and Prejudice; One Beer)

Episode 69 - Hog-Wild Hamton

Episode 70 - Playtime Toons (Happy Birthday...

They're Back, Toonsters !
Th-Th-Th-That's right, folks ! The next volume of "Tiny Toon Adventures" is here for all your cartoon cravings. This 2-disc set has 17 classic episodes starring those comic dispensers that crack up all the censors freely based on the Looney Tunes and these episodes are a bit more on topic with the chosen theme wraparounds. (At least compared to the previous volumes.) Here are some examples:

"Pledge Week" - Buster and Babs Bunny ("No relation.") host a "Tiny Toons Telethon" with very little results.
"Going Places" - Our crazy cast takes a field trip to the fire station, the art museum, and Montana Max's Merry Meats Company.
"Elephant Issues" - More like "relevant tissues" or something like that. Gogo Dodo, the craziest bird in Wackyland, takes a more serious approach to discuss common problems like Dizzy Devil's illiteracy, a new robot student, and the controversial "One Beer" episode.
"Hog Wild Hamton" - It's time to party, Hamton style ! Let's hope our...

THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!
I am #1 fan of this show so I'd love to say how absolutely brilliant Tiny Toons is. It is fantastic that Season 2 (& four episodes of season 3) is finally going to be released. Myself & my fiancé contacted Warner Bros. about the banned episode "Elephant Issues" to be included on the DVD and spread the word via our fan clubs & forums were other fans contacted WB themselves and it was decided to be included. I would love to see it hopefully remastered has it deserves the best. I give the show 10/10 and a definite recommendation to everyone.

Archer: The Complete Season Three [Blu-ray]

Life is good again
All is good again in the Universe. Archer is back for season three and it picks up right where it left off. Yes, life is good again. He is truly everything the five year old in me wants to be.

The most sharks shot in the face
Yes. A tasty slab of Archer with a side of comedic heavyweights (David Cross is a snug fit). If there is a place in hell for writers who just piss away an amazing show after a couple of great seasons, these writers will be peeing off a cloud onto that place, and will probably eat some asparagus beforehand. I am a smiling slave to this show. Oh, and if you don't catch it all on the first go, you can trust that it will age well.

Archer
I was hooked from season 1. Still watch it over and over, there are so many little idioms and sayings you will find new gems each time you watch. I could not believe they had this on a non-premium channel. Not a series you could have a conversation about at the water cooler. But you will find yourself telling people to just watch. Season 1 amazing (watch Mole Hunt or Diversity Hire), Season 2 was lacking and picked up at the end (best episodes 2:3,2:8-9,2:11-12) (wondering if the Jon Benjamin has a van) series interfered with season 2 writing. Season 3 episodes 1-3 was good and redeemed it's self again. BTW if you can catch the Jon Benjamin has a Van, it's done quite well.

Sterling Malory Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), codename: Duchess Though he shows proficiency in stereotypical spy skills--weapons, driving, martial arts--his only real interest in the job is the opportunity to enjoy a jet-setting lifestyle full of sex, alcohol, thrills, lacrosse, fast cars and spy toys...

Franklin: Franklin & The Green Knight

Gift from Grandma is a HIT with 2 year old!
My mom sent my daughter this video since she recently had a baby brother join our family and my mom thought our daughter would relate to this turtle. (In this video Franklin's mother is pregnant with a second child and Franklin has to deal with his excitement, fears and jealousy about that, and there are other nice lessons to learn in the video via the Green Knight story, too.) I doubted very much that she would "get" the connection and I don't know for sure whether she has or not, but this is now her number one favorite video, over the former standards Elmo and Bear in the Big Blue House! It is long, but she loves it and pays attention to the entire thing every time. I love the smiles on her face and her little chuckles as the story progresses; she truly loves the Franklin character. We've had it less than a month and she has watched it at least 15 times (and I really limit her daily dose of TV; she just picks this one everyday). Right now I'm shopping for another...

I'm 12 and I ..kinda of like it .
OK I am 12 and turning 13 next year ,but I can't get the songs like Brothers And Sisters .The movie is good even for kids my age I think the series is ok but yet the movie is fantastic.So if you have a 10 -12 year old who knows?Maybe they'll like it.Rent It that's all I'm saying .

Franklin's Feature
My 4 1/2 year old LOVES it. The first day he watched it 5 times. Not bad for an austic child who dosen't sit still. Not for the very young because of the length (75 mins)Great songs and a wonderful message. For the older child who is going to be big brother or sister this is a great video to watch then talk about what it will be like to be that big brother/sister.

BabyFirst Harry the Bunny - Come Along and Play

Looks like a home video
The episodes on this video are fine, but the quality of the dvd isn't good. The color is really bright and looks like a home video or something. The coloring doesn't look at all like the show on TV.

fabulous
My grand daughter loves this program and Harry the Bunny. She dances and sings with Harry. I love watching her.

My toddler loves this. LOVES it.
Mr. Rogers was IT a month ago, and when those episodes no longer had their paralyzing power, I had a hard time finding something that wasn't sensory overload or too scary for his young age and optimistic disposition. (I never realized how terrifying Pixar was until watching as a new parent.)

Harry the Bunny is a nice, calm, very mildly-annoying (Nothing like Barney! There will be no nostalgia for that demon!) puppet, with oddly-man-sized hands and interesting things to talk about if you are two.

The episodes are cut up into four smaller sections within each one. So you can easily let him watch a literal "little bit" and see a complete storyline without committing to entire 22 minute segment. And the theme song, which is an ill-fitting uptempo anxiety-fest, is not nearly as frequent and not an accurate representation of how the sow will be. I do like the end-title for Baby First TV, though.

Also, note we're only watching the season from 2009 because...

Monstra City / Shut the Pup Up

A breakdown of the allegories used.
Everything is a very powerful reference to the arrival of communism and the state of the world after world war II. The gnome comes to power in the aftermath of attacks using the people's wish for safety as his "ticket" to steal their freedoms. In the section sung by the girls' father, he compares the people to cattle and there is an image of him cutting beef that has the images of money, homes and people on it as he sings that they've lost their dreams and ambitions. It ends with the people cheering on the girls the same as they cheered the gnome. This is showing that the people will celebrate any new regime that does away with the last regime, and are just as easily fooled by the new powers' promise of safety.

Surviving the Cut Season 2

What's the deal?
There's mixed messages in this page.

Surviving the Cut Season 2 had many episodes, as indicated by the 220 min. length of the advertised content. It could not be only one disc and it would certainly cost more than $11.

The series was almost as good as the first year, including two whole episodes devoted to SWCC boat crew training.

I hope Amazon or the producers cleans up this page with the correct information on the set. Until then I won't be ordering it.

Only one flaw.
It is a great DVD and makes you MADLY respect those who go beyond the spit and polish to defend the Freedom of the United States of America. However...

I must admit that I was SEVERELY disappointed that there was an episode from Season 2 missing from this DVD. The first episode, "Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman (Basic) was not on the DVD. That is most unlikable.

I am so very grateful there are persevering people like these dedicated to such grueling jobs! This is but an insignificant peek at what they go through to serve...

Episode 3

Just not enough...
Too short. These people are fascinating, but they get so little screen time that there is no depth to any of the interviews. Every one of the fascinating entertainers featured on "Inside Comedy" deserves at least an hour, maybe two, but all we get is 25 minutes!

A PHD in comedy
Those of us who are deeply interested in Comedy need to watch Mr. Steiberg's interviews. These interviews shed light to the inner workings of comedy in America

Britten: The Turn of the Screw [Blu-ray]

One of the Best
Excellent voices, competent acting, imaginative production. Very satisfying execution of this interesting score. One of the best recordings of a Britten opera.

interesting new production of Turn of the Screw
I thought that the updating of the time period of the opera would lessen it's impact, but it doesn't.
All the singing actors were quite good.
If you like Britten, this is well worth adding to your collection.

Britten a standout in centennial year.
This performance from 2012 at Glyndebourne in England is simply superb!! Reset In the mid-20th century, the concept works beautifully and the performance is tops from all concerned-- performers and orchestra alike! Gorgeous presentation on a perfect Blu-ray.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Extreme Kah-Rah-Tay

Brand new episodes
I love spongebob it was early and spongebob is a brilliant thing to watch as a family I love it

SpongeBob and Karate is like Peanut Butter & Jelly
SpongeBob and Karate go together like peanut butter and jelly, that it was only a matter of time before they came out with a SpongeBob Kah-Rah-Tay. This new SpongeBob DVD is full of eight episodes featuring SpongeBob and the friends we love. Only two of the episodes are really about SpongeBob and karate, but they are all about action and classics to watch! Each episode is short (about 12 minutes) with the entire DVD being only 88 minutes. My boys love having them all on DVD to watch whenever they want because oddly enough SpongeBob Squarepants isn't on all the time.

Good Addition to Collection
It does not matter what Sponge Bob does, the kids just cannot get enough of him and Bikini Bottom in action!

Ghost Hunters Academy

Great show!
I missed this show on the original run on SYFY so was glad to see it was released on dvd.I can tell you, I really got into this show. I think the pace is good thourought. I would highly reccomend this show!

Broken disc holder that holds the 4 discs
Terrible inside of the dvd. Comes with 4 disc's and the disc holder (plastic in center) was literally in pieces inside the dvd box with the dvd's loose and rolling around. There is no way to keep the disc's in the middle. Nothing left for it to hold on to. I want another box, I am going to try to return this item. Never did this before from amazon.

Boring!
Predictable. You could rename it: "Clash Of The Ego's" as the contestants vie for coveted spots on various Teams. Yawn!

BabyFirst Shushybye Baby - Bedtime Stories and Songs

Not happy
I wish I could give this zero stars. Before Christmas, I ordered the shushybye baby songs and bedtime stories for my son. He was so happy. Seeing his excitement, I ordered this DVD. I got it today, played it and its the same DVD that I ordered before Christmas, just a different title. I thought with this having a 2013 copyright date, that it would be new episodes as baby first tv is advertising new episodes. I'm upset that I have 2 DVDs that are the same with different titles. I was hyping this DVD up to my son for nothing!!!!

Great DVD
My son is 13 month old and he loves shushybye. Every time he sees them he starts dancing. When he hurts himself I put a DVD of shushybye and it makes him happy. The best band for little ones.

Great for kids of all ages
My family loves the Shushybye characters and the songs. We tell people we watch it because the kids love it, but Momma and Daddy are probably more fond of the dvd than they are. The stories are shorter than we would like, but very cute. The kids like to dance to the songs and they love the colors of the set and props..

Lighthouses of Australia

A little bit of this, a little bit of that
Narrated by Australian actor Tom Burlinson this product does what it says on the tin, discusses a range of lighthouses in Australia. The one hour, 43 minute DVD takes the viewer on a journey that criss-crosses the nation in no particular order and all up 19 lighthouses are featured. As you can imagine, with 19 lighthouses covered and around 100 minutes programme time... well you can do the maths regarding the sort of times devoted to each point of interest. Not massive but probably adequate.

Effectively each lighthouse is introduced, its location discussed and snippets of information are sprinkled into the viewers ear and if there are interesting historical or social footnotes relating to the lighthouse those are included too. These are most often in the nature of discussion of some boating tragedy in the area. Lighthouse keepers and members of historical societies are given the chance to speak about some of the structures in question and in some instances the workmanship...

Gentle Pilates for Beginners with Eva Bondar

Helped my core!
What I really loved about this video was that when I was done, I was no longer slouching (at that time!) and my core felt so much better. I am a photographer and carry around pounds of equipment, there is nothing like this video in helping to strengthen those stomach muscles needed! I felt so much better after the video.

She gently guides you through the different poses! So it makes you feel stronger and is relaxing at the same time!!

Highly recommend this video!

great all over work out to feel fit and beat insomnia
This is a very inspiring professional work out video that leaves you feeling like you have given your entire body a tailored workout. It moves at an excellent pace and is easy to follow. Instead of dreading workouts, you will look forward to working out with Eva Bonder's workout video. An extra bonus is that if you do it before bedtime, it leaves you in a much more relaxed condition and helps to beat insomnia; you wake up more refreshed and fit too! Check it out!

Best Pilates!!!
I was originally turned on to this video by my mom, who raved about what a great Pilates DVD it was. I have gone through quite a few Pilates DVDs, and never found any I liked. That all changed with Eva's DVD. I love everything about this DVD- it is filmed in Maui, on the beach, so you get to hear the waves as you work out. Eva has such a gentle, pleasing way about her, it creates a wonderful space to be in. I used this video to help me come back from a time when I was very sick, and could barely breathe- by doing this DVD, I was able to focus on healing and getting stronger. Even on days when I tell myself I don't feel like working out, I get out Eva's DVD and I am right on track. The exercises are all do-able by a range of abilities, the setting is great, and Eva is a great instructor. I highly recommend this video!!!

VR Troopers: Season One, Vol. 2

Great Fun for VR Trooper Fans...But Beware Missing Episode
A mere three months after Shout Factory released the first 26 episodes of VR Troopers comes this DVD set covering the second half of Season 0ne (or at least most of the second half...more on that in a bit). The saga of Ryan, Kaitlin, and JB continues as they deal with more of Grimlord's menacing mutants. Many of the episodes on the set are a joy to see, but the standout ones are the four episodes that comprise the Defending Darkheart story arc. This saga, in which Ryan finally learns the fate of his long-lost father, is dramatic and emotional, and is a must see for every VR Trooper fans. Other episodes feature the Troopers being turned into children, encountering the Ghost Biker, and fighting Grimlord's own VR Trooper. There's even an episode in which Ryan and his talking dog, Jeb, switch bodies! As you can probably guess, hilarity ensues.

This set also contains a pretty cool five-minute clip that was made to introduce the series. Originally included on various Power Ranger...

The only negative about this set is that it's missing one episode "Grimlord's House of Fear" is listed to be the first episode on the first disc, but it's not there, it goes straight...

The VR Troopers Return!
It sucks that the episode : Grimlords House Of Fear is not on volume 2 , but what kinda makes it up to me is episode 49 with the robot monster Vanbot . I wish Bandai Toys would have turned him into a transforming toy , because he's sort of like a new Renagade Gobot . Which reminds me ; when will the rest of Challenge of the Gobots come out on dvd ? It & the next volume of the VR Troopers better have carriter bios on everyone from their respected tv shows .

Elmo's Day Out

Not my favorite season.
I am a huge fan of Ina Garten and it is said for me not to give it five stars. Her recipes are always amazing and always work as long as you follow her guidance. The only reason why I am giving it three stars is I'm not fond of the new format. The show feels as though it has run out of ideas. My favorite show of the season was where she asked cooks what they make on their day off. Having watched Ina over the years I was rather surprised that she aired the Kimchi and rice segment. It was pretty clear that she didn't like the ingredient and when she tasted the rice it was clear to me that she didn't like it.

The other episode that I liked was where she had the individual brownies and the dish from Spago. The roasted veg was clearly a hit at Spago, but it didn't seem to fit with her style of cooking... Not the best and appreciate the classic Barefoot Contessa from the beginning...

i like barefoot contessa, but she is good in small doses
love it its really great! its a little to scripted...so its good in small doses lol but go with the flow and enjoy

Love Barefoot Contessa
Great show with wonderful cooking tips from Ina. I love how her recipes are easy and perfect for entertaining family and friends.

Tidal Wave: No Escape & Killer Wave - Disaster Double Feature

IDENTICAL STORYLINE
The Double-Feature movies have much potential. It looks like a generic-version of a real action-pack adventure. The only complaint is that both movies have almost the same storyline. It's like one is a rip-off from the other, although one is more interesting than the other.

The "boring one" will seem to have finished in the middle of the movie because the credits appear mid-movie. If you bypass the credits, the movie will resume 'til the end.

good movies
I really like both these movies but the second one was almost exactly the same story as the first one.

Rob (2012)

Very Funny
You have Cheech Marin and Rob Schneider both on the same sitcom which only adds up to hillarious comedy. A must have to any collection.I would compare this comedy to Roseanne or Married With Children as far as funny goes,but in a different way.Rob is to say the least a little quirky rescently married to a younger hot Spanish woman with her entire family near by and knowing almost everything that goes on and still seem to all get along.

Gone too soon!
This was a very funny show. Probably not a politically correct one, but Rob is very good at physical comedy and a funny look at the differences culture can make in a relationship. Cheech Marin as usual is hilarious!

Rob! The Series That Should Have Not Been Cancelled.
I gave Rob! four stars out of five, as I felt there were not enough episodes. This sitcom was cancelled way too early and should have been given enough of a chance to further develop its characters. It would have been nice to seen this series continue and see Maggie and Rob eventually raise a child together with the help of his mexican inlaws and the cross-culture battle that could have resulted to drive Rob nuts! Overall, this was a good sit-com with signs of potiential. The playback quality of the DVD was exceptional with good resolution and sound. For those who require multi-language options such as Spanish or French, that feature was not available on this DVD.

Live: Skeletons & Majesties

Gamma Ray - Skeletons & Majesties Live Blu-Ray
Skeletons & Majesties Live, released in 2013, is a concert Blu-Ray from the legendary German Power Metal band Gamma Ray, taken from their 2012 performance in Pratteln, Switzerland. Like fellow Power Metal band Stratovarius' recent Blu-Ray, this concert captures the last time the band would play with their longest serving drummer, in this case the superb Dan Zimmerman.

It's a brilliant looking and sounding concert that clocks in at 2hrs 12min. The mix and sound in general are absolutely spot-on and really suits the band's style. Everything is perfectly clear and balanced and it's a real joy to listen to. For example, the keys are neither too overpowering or indeed inaudible, the vocals are just the right volume, the kick drum is loud and punchy and overall it all just has a nice powerful sound as a whole. The only nitpick is that the audience aren't audible often, so when the band gets them to sing along it looks a bit like the audience don't know the words, but with such a...

3rd Rock From the Sun - Season 6

Better than I expected
I guess I never saw the final season of the show when it was in its first release because I don't remember any of the episodes. I own the other five seasons, so you can tell I'm a big fan of the series in general. I've watched most of the shows now on this 6th season set and I was really surprised. I kinda expected the last year to fall off in quality and to rehash a lot of the same schtick. But so far I've really liked every episode. By this time in the series the actors are all very comfortable with one another but the relationships don't feel stale to me. If you are inclined to like some of the other seasons, then you might want to take a chance on this one as well.

The Mission is over, but the laughs are not
Here it is the sixth season of 3rd Rock from the Sun, 20 complete uncut episodes in all. The season starts off with some very comical episodes, Fear and loathing in Rutherford, Red, White, & Dick, and Dick Soup for the Soul. These are three of my favorite episodes, each containing many laughs. From Dick finding out he is Canadian to Tommy's Sally assisted hazing in college. The rest of the episodes each have their moments, as do all the episodes in the 3rd Rock from the Sun series.

Video and audio quality is excellent, no complaints. Bonus features aplenty once again, but lack of a special Blooper section is a disappointment as they were very comical. The alternative show ending introduction part 1 and part 2 are excellent bonus features additions however.

Do yourself a favor and complete your collection of 3rd Rock from the Sun, or use this release as an excuse to buy the complete series. You will not regret it.

John Lithgow is the funniest person on the planet!!!!
I have nearly every season of 3rd Rock. This whole ensemble group is hilarious! It was the perfect blend of slapstick and comedy mayhem. In my opinion, it is the funniest sitcom ever! If you're blue, buy SEASON I---- and get ready to laugh!

This is an extended version of the performance that has been on bootleg for years. Runs almost an hour. Al is young and really in his glory. At first I had mixed feelings about this.

Yoga Journal: Complete Home Practice 2 DVD Set

Misleading advertisement !
I was excited to get these new YJ DVD's assuming they were new material. I suspected why there wasn't more info about the products but the covers and the little description made it look very appealing so I ordered the DVD's (they are already available on other websites). When I previewed them it finally striked me that those are the same practices from their website (livemag section), now I know why they were so vague about the description but I should have known better. I also noticed that there are 8 practices and not 9 ! 4 on each DVD and the total runtime is about 145 min. and not 180 min. it could have fit one DVD perfectly but of course they had to make it a 2 DVD set that costs almost 30 $ so you would think you'll get a 9 practices of 20 min. but most of them are 11-18 min. I'm sure the practices themselves are good (you could watch most of them on their website!) and for some people the DVD format is more convenient but they could still advertise these DVD's as what they...

Formatting Issues
While the actual yoga routine and voice over cues (of those I've managed to do so far) are good, I dislike that neither the cover nor either disc lists the titles of the different practices. There is no description of what will be covered in each practice, nor how long they are. Also, at least when I play it on my DVD player (and I've had no issues with any other DVDs), none of the titles highlight in the menu, so I can't even see what I'm selecting. I move my arrows up and down, but nothing highlights, so when I "select" something, it's a crap shoot as far as which one starts. If I go back to the menu and just hit the up or down menu to try to select the previous or next program instead, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. On disc 2, I can't get to 2 of the 4 programs.

enjoyed the format
these DVDs have short practices that offer a lot of variety. the thing i liked most was that there is no music and no distractions. a voice over describes the moves while someone in a totally bare white room performs them. i enjoy the narrator's calm voice.

Nova: Ancient Computer

Gift from the sea
As you read this review there are some 3 million ship wrecks lying beneath the waves (most unexplored).

In 1901 one of those ship wrecks -- of a Roman trading vessel that sunk while headed home to port --was discovered by Greek spong divers. Among its treasures were hoards of coins, various statues, amphoras of wine and most importantly an ancient computer.

For most of the past 100 years that ancient computer has been an enigma. Interestingly enough the size of a contemporary laptop, the ancient computer now is basically one rusted hunk of metal through which observers can easily see the evidences of gear mechanisms that it used for whatever its purpose was.

In one of history's great detective stories this DVD removes the rust from the device revealing not only what it looked like in antiquity but also what its purpose was and who probably made it. In terms of its appearance, it's like a larger version of the inside of an old watch, with its...

Dont underestimate our ancient ancestors
This is a superb reissue of a great British program on perhaps the greatest archaeological find of all time. This computer (antikythera mechanism) pushed back the history of complex (differential) gearing by about 1700 years! The forensics of determining how this thing works is fascinating. This program doesn't entail technical issues as these are intricate and require a great deal of knowledge of astronomy. This device was a calendar computer that could predict eclipses among other things. It tells alot about ancient Greek social issues as well. A good video for high school students (history and science).

History Exposed
How amazing to watch today's scientists create new technology so we can understand the most amazing artifact yet uncovered. Ancient Greece had a working mechanical computer!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Such great voice acting and extras!!!
I received my copy 2 weeks early from rightstuf.com. They really got the right people to voice the characters. Love all the extras that came with the dvd box set including a heaven coin & 8 extra short mini episodes that were weird with a mixture of gross to say the least. The dvd art along with the nice art on each dvd case along with the extras and the awesome job the VAs did with the voices made this box set worth the $38.99 for me.

Watching the subtitled version so many times before this came out; I'm glad I can finally enjoy the episodes in english because of such excellent voice acting, which is very rare in anime.

If you're a Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt fan get this set! it's worth it!

Anarchy in Daten City
Move over, Kei and Yuri, the dirtiest pair of all have arrived and they are not messing around. "Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt" (PSG for short) is a madcap exercise in obscenity and hilarity that uses and abuses a semi-American kiddie animation style (think The Powerpuff Girls or My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic) to increase it's own patent offensiveness. Panty and Stocking are the first names of the Anarchy sisters, fallen angels who are trying to buy their way back into Heaven by defeating earthly ghosts using weapons formed out of their undergarments. Garterbelt is the perverse afro-priest who plays the Charlie to their angels. And they are all majorly effed up. This is an anime for those of you with a truly sick sense of humor. Profanity flies profusely from the mouths of these characters in both English and Japanese (often in...

Made for the Military

Hearts Afire - The Complete Series

Hearts Afire
In the fall of 1992, the late John Ritter (Three's Company) returned to television in the political sitcom Hearts Afire, playing John Hartman, a senator's aid and a recently divorced father of two boys. His life is flipped upside down when a down-on-her-luck journalist Georgie Anne Lahti (played by Night Court's Markie Post) walks into his office looking for a job and ends up staying at his house. Sparks fly between the two and they eventually tie the knot before the end of the first season. The second season changed the series setting from Washington D.C. to John's southern home town, where they buy a local newspaper office.

Billy Bob Thornton costarred for the entire series' run as Billy Bob Davis. Two and a Half Men's Conchata Ferrell joined the cast during the second season as Dr. Madeline Stoessinger; although she did play another character during the first season for two episodes.

Mill Creek Entertainment has recently released the complete series with...

great to have in my dvd collection.
being a great john ritter, markie post fan, i was excited to see this released on dvd. the first season is wonderfull quality, & the following seasons faded as they were downloaded appearently from some other kind of format. resulting in somewhat poorer quality. still not a bad deal for the price.

John Ritter take two
After the successful Three's Company and the disaster that was Three's A Crowed...John Ritter graced the our tvs once again with Hearts Afire. The show is better than I remembered it. It has a great cast and is rather funny. I give the show 5 stars but drop it 2 stars due to the poor picture quality of the episodes. I've seen better transfers from older tv shows.

Perry Mason: The Eighth Season, Vol. 2

A RIPOFF
The Perry Mason Season 8 Volume 2 is a major ripoff for several reasons. These are (1) the high price - which would be partially acceptible except for the fact that (2) the liner notes have absolutely no relationship to the titles and the actual programming. How could such a total screwup get past the editors? and (3) the quality of the disk is poor - I have never seen more viewing glitches and on the second program, had to restart the disk because it would not track thru.

I am an Amazon customer who has purchased every one of these Perry Mason cds because I enjoy the programming. However, this disk is a travesty. I would ask that Amazon reissue it with correct liner notes, with the playing glitches corrected, free to all customers who have purchased it so far. For those of you thinking about buying this one, you might want to hold off.

Amazon Listened !
[Update]
Amazon listened to its customers. They took the original offering off the market until they could figure out what was going on. And have now put it back up for $20 less than the original price. I am not to concerned about liner notes, as some have mentioned that they are not matching the episodes. As long as the episodes are different from 8.1, and are from the 8th season, I am fine with it.

Have just ordered 8.2 here on Amazon. I know my wife and I are both looking forward to seeing these classics again, and without comercials !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wife and I love to watch the Perry Mason shows (Five Star for fun).
Have all the DVDs 1.1 -> 8.1
And, have purchased them all (so far) from Amazon.

However, I will NOT be purchasing 8.2 from Amazon for the stupid high price of $55.
The price on this needs to drop to $35 or...

What is with the high price for the second half of Perry Mason Season 8? Whoa!! I feel like amazon is taking advantage of fans.

Jackson 5ive - Episode 7 - Cinderjackson [HD]

Psychedelic Seventies Silliness: This Cartoon Boasts Great Nostalgia And Music, But May Not Translate To Modern Kids
The nostalgia factor can be a show's best friend or its worst enemy. I can easily imagine that the viewers who got caught up in the animated adventures of the Jackson Five during the short lived show from 1971 "Jackson 5ive" will be thrilled to revisit their old friends. However, let's face it, the show aired for 23 episodes over forty years ago. That means that this DVD release will likely be viewed through very modern eyes both by those who have never heard of it and by those who might not even be familiar with the Jackson Five. As I sat down to this flight of fancy, I immediately recognized the trademark psychedelic look of the time, the cheesy dialogue, and the infectious pop soundtrack. In short, it was pretty much exactly what I expected. That doesn't necessarily mean that it was good or bad in my estimation. It simply means that what you get out of "Jackson 5ive" is directly proportional to your expectations going in. And in truth, I'm not sure modern kids will be able...

Groovy! As great as I remember them from my childhood!
I received this set directly from the publisher, and hoped that it would be as great as it was in my memory of 40 years ago. The Jacksons burned up the music charts when I was a tween and of course Michael owned the charts in the 80s. Every kid I knew watched the Jackson 5 cartoon on TV, and we sang their songs on the school bus.

I'm happy to say that this 2-DVD set is every bit as good as I remember. The colors are bold and the sound crystal clear. It's actually better than when it appeared on TV because of the improved sound and picture capability of today's technology. Add in the bonus of no TV commercials and you've got a perfect trip down memory lane. All 46 of the remastered songs sound great!

Yes, the story lines are sappy, but they were a product of their times and I like them much better than the TV shows full of sexuality and bad language targeted towards our kids today.

This collection will probably appeal most to children of the 70s...

This is a "groovy" blast into the past with Tito, Marlon, Jermaine, Jackie and, of course, Michael Jackson!
There really is nothing like a blast from the past and Classic Media has done it in style. I'm from the generation who actually looked forward to watching the Jackson 5ive on Saturday mornings. Mind you, we only had thirteen channels then and if you wanted to watch another one, you had to get up to change it.
