Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Whenever I got together with friends discussing television and movies we always wondered why every crummy TV show and movie made it to DVD while SCTV was not yet on DVD. Then we would inevitably begin to reminisce about the show, out favorite sketches, etc. Now we can all watch together because SCTV...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What was golden about "Secret Agent" in 1965 remains golden: it tackles the familiar spy-story themes---duty, honor, country; loyalty, brotherhood, betrayal---with a theatrical style, with romanticism, wit, and grace, often with deep human feeling. In 1965, when the moral norms in television and movies...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Shout Factory and the family of Robert Young and estate of Eugene Rodney should all be given kudos for listening to our wishes for "Uncut" episodes of this classic slice of Americana- Father Knows Best! Sony also deserves credit for co-operating with Shout Factory in searching in Sony's vaults to be...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After buying the Doc Ock installment of Fox's Spider-Man cartoon on DVD, I noticed it contained a promo for "The Venom Saga" coming in Winter 2004. I had been looking forward to it as the three-part "Alien Costume" story arc was what got me interested in the show (and Spider-Man in general) back when...

The Three Stooges - How High Is Up? (1940) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I hate to say this about whoever reviewed this movie and said it was "great", but they were incredibly wrong. I wouldn't say this movie is bad, but I totally disagree with the opinions of that one reviewer. On this video there seems to be a great episode, an o.k episode, and a horrible episode. Here...
The Three Stooges Collection Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Very disappointed in this product. Expecting 5 discs worth of classic stooge episodes...got only 1 Curly episode and 3 Shemp episodes. The first disc was an hour long documentary that was interesting, but the rest was junk! 2 of the 5 discs contained nothing but 1965 stooges cartoons with Curly Joe....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been watching I Love Lucy since my elementary school years. I grew up watching it, even though I wasn't around when it first came out. Young and old love this show. It is much cheaper buying the complete series than buying each individual season, which is what I did, until I saw this on Amazon,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Volume 18 in "The Twilight Zone" DVD series offers an interesting combination of two space stories with one about the Civil War. "I Shot an Arrow Into the Air," written by Rod Serling and based on an idea by Madelon Champion, relates how the U.S. spaceship Arrow One disappears off the radar screen and...
Private Secretary (1953) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a sucker for 1950's shows, having grown up with the originals and no taping devices at that time. Now we are fortunate to revisit those innocent days when the jokes were clean and no one got undressed. I'm not a prude, but you can see for yourself that situations and dialog can be hysterical without...
Daniel Boone: Ken Tuck E (1964) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As several have said, Fess Parker was a better Daniel Boone than a Davy Crockett. Oh well, he was Davy only four or five times, and Daniel about SIX YEARS. Practice does make perfect. This is a good video for nostalgic reasons and fairly believable acting. If you are a historian who nitpicks about accuracy,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If my rating was based on the product, I would give this 5 stars. However, I wouldn't recommend buying this set at the current price of $199.99. If you buy each of these seasons separately through Amazon, you get them for less than $135. Seems like a better deal to me!Click Here to see more reviews about:...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Soooooouuuuuullllll Train! I'm as white as they come, but I loved this show in its heyday. I was 12 when it premiered in 1970. It was a window into a culture as smooth and brash in its musicality and vernacular as it was in its dyn-o-mite dancing and day-glo fashion. Don Cornelius was the serene ruler...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What Andy Griffith episode isn't child appropriate? The Andy Griffith Show has law enforcement lessons to be learned as well as a morale lesson in each show. It is still, after all these years, one of the most beloved and popular series from the 1960s. I still enjoy them today. Good clean humor and good...
