Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When you think about the Little Rascals, Alfalfa is probably the first one of the bunch that comes to mind. And unless your only exposure to the group is through Eddie Murphy's parody of Buckwheat on Saturday Night Live, Spanky would probably be second. During his early days, the kid was about as cute...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This DVD from Rhino offers up one the funniest -- and most charming -- episodes of the legendary TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000," where they take on a 1944 drama/gangster movie/message flick called, "I Accuse My Parents." There are few episodes of the show I recommended higher for all-around quality.For...

Despite wildly contrasting physical attributes and backgrounds,...

The Twilight Zone: Vol. 19 (1959) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Maybe good ole Uncle Simon can leave me one in his will. "Uncle Simon" is one of the most underrated Twilight Zone episodes of all time! I consider this 25 minute beauty a true classic. The acting portrayed here by the main characters is stellar. You just can't find a better example of true hatred expressed...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Perry Mason was certainly the finest courtroom drama ever on television. It was entertainment that kept viewers glued to their seats, waiting for that moment when Perry would nail the killer on the witness stand and free his client. Raymond Burr had some good roles in films, but will always be remembered...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Phil Silvers show was one of the funniest comedies ever on TV and deserves a season-by-season release. The show originally ran from 1955-59, only four years, but had a whopping 143 episodes! A few years ago, Paramount released a 50th Anniversary Edition of the show (sometimes titled "Bilko" and sometimes...
