Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My two year old son has become a Thomas fanatic and this is his new favorite tape. I purchased this at a local store and it came with a wooden Percy which can be attached to the other wooden Thomas vehicles. This set is a good deal since the Percy train alone is $10 at stores.Click Here to see more reviews...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought the series from Disney before they offered the box set. It was much pricier individually than it is now. If you remember watching this show when it first aired, or even more recently on Vault Disney you might be in for a shock: The sharp image of the original is gone. It has been replaced by...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I went into buying this eight DVD box set believing that there would be at least a few classic "Stooges" shorts. Instead, I receive only ONE DVD of shorts, the rest of the set being comprised of various clips, biographies, and rare footage of the Howard brothers. I'm all for learning a bit about our...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Despite music omissions, I bought the earlier 3 volumes of this fantastic show and enjoyed them immensely, particularly the first 2 sets, which had some great extras. It was all downhill from there, as this set was vomited out of the factory and onto the store shelves by Cannell Productions and Studioworks!As...
Till Death Us Do Part Collection Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This BBC comedy aired for nine years (1966-1975) and was themodel for Norman Lears Hilarious sitcom All in the Family. Beaware the comedy is very different than that of AITF. Alf Garnett, the British Archie Bunker, is far more bigoted andprofane. Else (Edith in on AITF) has a totally differnt personality...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Assuming that a filmmaker can't go on indefinately, let's say making a history of World War II in hundred or more hours of videotape, Jeremy Isaacs has done a masterful job of capturing the essense of World War II, including its causes and the Cold War that evolved out of its conclusion.Please note,...
Hello Kitty & Friends - Fairy Tale Fantasy (Vol. 1) (2004) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The cartoons on this DVD are from a series that I refer to as the "Sanrio Animation Series." The star characters in this series are Hello Kitty, Keroppi, and Pekkle. They are primarily english-dubbed versions of the Japanese Sanrio cartoons. As an adult collector of Sanrio, I enjoyed watching these cartoons,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Be advised, there are two versions of this video available, and this is not the one to buy. Paramount released this under the assumption that the only extant print of the original pilot was in black and white, and they combined it with the color footage used in The Menagerie. A few years later, a color...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Cheyenne show is a fabulous trip to the Golden Age of television, to the days when the western genre was simple and pure, when manicheism was well established, good guys versus bad guys. We must urge Warner Bros. to release the second season of Cheyenne as soon as possible. The previous one was released...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Incredibly entertaining; especially for anyone who has lived through the times talked about. Many, many of the songs ARE full-length versions, albeit with commentary provided over the top. But, after all, it is a documentary and not a CD set. I watched it about three times already and have included here...

Ken Burns Presents The West (1996) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The West DVD ~ Peter CoyoteWhen some people use the word "documentary" they seem to imbue it with an expectation of total objectivity--as if one could eliminate all traces of cultural experience from one's makeup and discover a shining path of ultimate "truth" simply by the act of becoming a filmmaker....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)...let me start by saying that "The New Soupy Sales Show" (which is what almost all of this collection is based on) is an extremely funny set of skits, riffs, and humorous repartee' from one of the giants of children's shows from the '70s and early '80s. The only major complaint that I have with this...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Back in the day, when Cartoon Network was in their prime, they had a killer lineup every Friday night. This included Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and my personal favorite, a show about a cowardly dog named Courage. I was hooked from the first episode I ever watched, which...
