Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Highway to Heaven is one of my favorite dramatic series so I looked forward to its release into the DVD realm. Unfortunately, we now have two DVD seasons of this Michael Landon classic that features the edited episodes shown in syndication. Approximately 2-3 minutes are cut from each of these episodes....

The New Adventures of Kimba The White Lion - Successor of Legend Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is an official release of three episodes from the -second- time Kimba was brought to the TV screen. Some say this is the last project that Kimba's creator, Osamu Tezuka, worked on. It is different, a re-working of the old story, and takes some getting used to for us old fans. In some ways the presentation...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Joining televisions other military comedies of the day was this overlooked gem. The thing that set "F Troop" apart from "Hogan's Heroes" and "McHale's Navy" was the fact that, while not politically correct, it was fair. The brave men of Fort Courage were as inept, sometimes moreso, than the Indian tribes...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this a few weeks ago and I must say it was very interesting. While not nearly as funny as the original Batman show, I liked the flashbacks to what was going on in Adam West's and Burt Ward's respective lives during those days! Some may have been shocked by Adam and Burt's former womanizing but...
Three Stooges- Nutty But Nice (1940) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This disc contains 6 shorts, five of which are of excellent quality even if not all of them might be considered top bona-fide classics. The other one had the makings of a great short, but sadly is marred by the black cloud looming over it. Since a number of other reviewers have already described the...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just heard on the radio that they have cancelled `The Unit'. I had thought that CBS had more sense than the other big three, but apparently not. `The Unit' is a very riveting show. You can't help but cheer for the 4 Unit guys. They have the terrorists who are trying to harm America trying to kill them...

If you've bought the ultra-crappy editions put...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I loved watching re-runs of this show in the late 70's when I was a kid. I remember the opening theme songs being a big part of what I liked about this show. There were 2 opening theme songs. The 2nd theme song replaced the 1st one when June Lockhart joined the cast. I have one of the other Petticoat...
Three Stooges - Dizzy Doctors (1937) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been a Stooges fan for many years, and up until recently, much like everyone else, I took the wonderful talents of Shemp Howard for granted. However, now whenever I watch a Stooges video or DVD, I find myself laughing non-stop at Shemp's lame jokes, funny faces, and hilarious cackle. This DVD is...
The Twilight Zone: Vol. 4 (1959) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)From my teens this is one of the series that I more fondly remember. As a sci-fi fan I was attracted by "The Twilight Zone" proposal. At that time I wasn't able to see more than a score of episodes, but they remain in my memory with extraordinary persistence. Thanks to the technological marvel of DVD...
Northern Exposure: Body in Question (1990) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This episode grabbed me by the throat and never let go. I saw it when it initially aired, and waited religiously for it to air again so I could tape it. I have always been a Northern Exposure fan, but this episode was at the same time the epitome of NE, and far beyond it. There are so many outstanding...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was surprised to find all three seasons at such a rock bottom price. Since the price was so good, I thought it might have some cheap quality. I check-out reviews others made for single seasons. The clarity and quality on these is 9 to 9.5 out of 10. I have had no freeze or pix problems as of yet (haven't...

Some shows I can find in her companion book, The French Chef - ISBN 0-345-42542-1; others like The Spinach Twins and French Fries I can't even find the individual recipes in the index let alone the show.Each DVD contains a couple...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Watching the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz film "The Long, Long Trailer" some 50+ years after it was made, is a rather surreal experience. By 1953, The "Baby Boom" was indeed booming, tract housing was all over the place like crab grass, trailer parks multiplied like jackrabbits, and Americans were inundated...

Three Stooges: They Stooge to Conga (1943) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Three of the Stooges best anti-war shorts: YOU NAZTY SPY!; I'LL NEVER HEIL AGAIN; and THEY STOOGE TO CONGA. The first is best, with Moe's brilliantly timed lampoon of Hitler, and Curly's Mussolini take-off which instantly became a classic. Directed and produced by Jules White.Click Here to see more reviews...
