The last 2 Sundays, my son and I watched discs 1 & 2 of Eerie Indiana, which I consider brilliant, as I commented elsewhere.  Disc 1 4.5*.  Disc 2 5*.  This show is just tons of fun to watch, but sadly it was cancelled all too soon.

My Thoughts:

I just finished season 5 of Supernatural. Over all I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I have to admit the whole angels storyline did start to get old to me. But then I have always preferred the "monster of the week" type episodes over the season long arcs. But that is something that usually tends to be true... no matter the series I am watching. I got a kick out of the episode Changing Channels where the brothers are put into a fantasy world which they are characters to different television series. Fictional television series... but ones that are very similar to real ones. Despite the whole angel storyline... this series remains one of my favorite current series. It is a series I highly recommend.

My Thoughts:

Every since I found out I was getting this season 1 set I was curios about the series. I have heard a lot of great things about the show. I only watched the first disc... containing the first two episodes so far. Not sure why they have so few episodes on a disc. Watching so little so far it is kinda hard to make an informed opinion. At this point I have mixed feelings about the series. It does seem to keep my interest. I am enjoying it. But it is a little on the slow side for my taste. I would also like to see the violence in this series a little more graphic. Don't get me wrong... it is pretty graphic as it is... but I would like to see it at the level of the series Spartacus that airs on Starz. Over-all I am enjoying it... and can see myself getting hooked on the series.

My Thoughts:

With today being Friday the 13th.... what better time to watch the next disc of my Friday the 13th: The Series collection? This is a series I always liked back in the day. And I found it held up rather good for me. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Read My Lips... which happens to guest star Billy Drago who made several appearances in Charmed as the Demon of Fear. While I always enjoyed this show... it is one where I can only watch but so many at one sitting. A disc at a time seems to be about right for me. Which is probably why it is taking me so long to get through my collection. Even so... this is a fun show... one that I definitely recommend.

My Thoughts:

Over the last few days I just watched the entire 8th (final) season of 24. There is just something about this series.... something that once you start a set.... you just can't stop until you watched the entire season. I must say... I enjoyed every second of this one! An excellent season to an outstanding series. This is a series I highly recommend. I am sorry to see that there is no more episodes to watch now. While I loved this season... this series on a whole... I would have liked to seen a better ending to the series for the main character. Granted I don't know how they could have done anything else with the story they told... but I just personally would had preferred a different outcome.

After recently watching the last 2 seasons of this great series... I am tempted to start all over again from the very first season to the last. But I think I better save that for another time. If you never seen this series before... give it a chance... I sure you won't be sorry.

The special features on this set are quite extraordinary for a 1 season show.  Brisco clearly holds a a special place in the hearts of many of the folks involved.

Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English

Stars:

Traylor Howard as Natalie Teeger
Jason Gray-Stanford as Randy Disher
Ted Levine as Leland Stottlemeyer

Plot:
Primetime Emmy® Award and Golden Globe® winner Tony Shalhoub is back for one last obsessively compulsive good time in the final season of the hit detective series Monk. From the very first moment detective Adrian Monk (Shalhoub) appeared on the scene, audiences have been hooked on this intelligent and irreverent sleuth who uses his quirky phobias and neuroses to solve crimes in a way other detectives just can't. Join him now as he reunites with former colleagues and friends from seasons past - as well as guest stars Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost), Daniel Stern (The Wonder Years), and many more - for some of the most riveting cases yet, including the one that has haunted him for the past eight seasons. Critics and fans agree that "...there is something undeniably stirring about watching Tony Shaloub's Mr. Monk take his victory lap" (Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times).

Episodes:
1. Mr. Monk's Favorite Show
2. Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
3. Mr. Monk and the UFO

16. Mr. Monk and the End (Part 2)

Extras:
Scene Access
Audio Commentary
Featurettes
Interviews

My Thoughts:

I finally got to see the end of this series. I must say... I enjoyed this set very much. My favorite episode has to be the two part series finale. Not only did I enjoy every second of the storyline... I like how they closed the series out. Letting Monk finally solve the case of his wife's murder. It makes me so glad that they knew ahead of time that this was going to be their last season.  Many shows don't get the opportunity to close a series the way they would want to because they don't know in time. I also like that they brought Sharona back for an episode before the series ended. Another favorite episode from this season is the one where Natalie throws Monk a surprise birthday party. If you never seen this series... I definitely recommend it. It is a lot of fun!

I just watched the first disc of CSI: Season 7. Found I am still enjoying this series quite a bit.  Which is pretty amazing considering I am now up to the 7th season. But the stories are still strong... and I like the characters. my favorite episode on this disc would have to be the two part season opener... Built to Kill. This is definitely a show I recommend... if you like crime dramas and haven't seen this one yet... give it a chance.

First broadcast in Italy in 1984, The Octopus (La Piovra) is an international blockbuster, running 18 years and producing nine follow-up series. The title of this classic Mafia thriller says it all, evoking the image of a secret criminal culture extending its tentacles into every layer of society. Ultimately shot on three continents, The Octopus brings scope and sophistication to the story of an old battle and shows the cost men and women pay when they stand up to the injustice of organized crime.

Series 1 thru 6 I rate a 5/5
ans 7 thru 10 4.56/5
You can't stop watching it, you just got to see who gets wacked next.

Title: Married with Children: The Complete Seventh Season: Disc 1
Year: 1992
Rating: NR
Length: 207 Min.
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy
Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy
Amanda Bearse as Marcy D'Arcy
Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy
David Faustino as Bud Bundy
Ted McGinley as Jefferson D'Arcy

Plot:
1. Magnificent Seven
The Bundys have another mouth to feed as Married With Children starts a new year. In the seventh-season opener, Peggy's cousin Zemus and wife Ida Mae Wanker make a quick visit and leave behind their five-year old son Seven, who is captivating to Peggy -- and only Peggy. She sees this as her chance to finally be a great mother... or at least try. Kelly gives Bud a poster of "WAGS the Perplexed Pup. Cartoon cutie"

2. T-r-a... Something, Something Spells Tramp
While Peggy seeks Saturday-night conversation, Kelly discusses men with three kindred sirens after being stranded by her date.

3. Every Bundy Has a Birthday
When Peggy discovers that nobody knows Seven's birthday, she chooses a date for him at random. Al is not pleased when it turns out he has lost his birthday to the new kid. Peggy decides to have a party for Seven at a local park, but the party poops when another parent proclaims the public park private for his own son's party.

4. Al On the Rocks
When Peggy uses up the monthly mortgage money to pay Seven's doctor bill, Al is forced to take a second job: bartending at a topless bar -- where it's the bartender who's topless. Meanwhile, Peg starts banning the other Bundys from the house to protect Seven from their germs.

5. What I Did For Love
The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but it's not the heart that's sought by Peggy -- who is tired of being ignored by Al in the bedroom so she tries a variety of enticing new outfits in an attempt to whet the appetite of an otherwise starving Al. Unfortunately, the only thing Al wants is a steak dinner.

6. Frat Chance
To meet girls, Bud starts his own "cool" community college fraternity "Alpha Gonna Get'em", but the premiere toga party (in the Bundy garage) lacks fun... and women. A.G.G.'s motto is: "Lookie, lookie, we're gonna get some nookie", and also: "We'll do good on our tests, so we'll feel some breasts".

7. The Chicago Wine Party
The Bundys hit the voting booths, united to defeat political correctness- and a new 2 cent beer tax. When their causes lose at the polls, the Bundys hit the streets for some good old fashioned pillaging.

8. Kelly Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Al decides another Bundy must find a job, and the axe falls on Kelly. This breaks Peggy's heart since no Wanker woman has ever worked before. Kelly must first experience the wonderful world of waitressing, prior to finding her true calling as Kelly Bundy: Philosopher/Waitress.

9. Rock of Ages
When his paycheck is abducted by bill collectors, Al decides to enter a shoe-selling contest. The prize: a first-class ticket to Hawaii, which the family turns into four standbys. But that doesn't keep them from hobnobbing in the first-class lounge with six musicians. Al masquerades as rock star Axel Bundy from "Shoes and Socks". The Bundys later join in to sing for "Old Aid".

Extras:
Closed Captioned

My Thoughts:

This is a very uneven start to a new season. So far while enjoyable there is nothing really special here. After nine episodes... I still don't know what I think about the added kid to the series. But then again (other then a couple of episodes) his part has been so small you would miss him if you blinked... so it is a little hard to get used to him. But over-all the series is still entertaining. Not bad for going into it's seventh season.

The Ed Wynn Show aka Camel Comedy Caravan

I watched 2 discs of 4 episodes each from Alpha Video:

The Ed Wynn Show:  3 episodes at 3.5*; 1 at 3*; averaging out at 3.5*

The best part was probably the 3 Stooges (with Shemp) as CBS Network executives.  William Frawley pops in for a Camel cigarettes ad.

The Ed Wynn Show: Volume 2:  3 episodes at 4*; 1 at 3*; averaging out at 4*

The best parts were Buster Keaton and Ed reinacting Keaton's first screen performance (complete with hand-held inter-titles); and Celeste Holm's funny, weird song "My Guy's in Love with Me."


I hadn't seen much of Ed Wynn before this--"I Love to Laugh" in Mary Poppins being the main exception along with his dramatic turn in Requiem for a Heavyweight.  His zany humor appeals to me--and his terrible puns--so he is just fun to watch.

The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet

I watched 2 "Dollar-DVD" discs with 4 and 5 episodes, respectively.

The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet: 4 Episodes: Classic American Family Television
4*, 3.5*, 3* and 2* -- averaging out to 3*

The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet: 5 Episodes: Classic American Family Television
3*, 2.5*, 3*, 3.5* and 4* -- averaging out to 3*

While a couple of these episodes are quite good, others succumbed to stupid stories and lazy writing.

My Thoughts:

This is a series I never watched when it originally aired. I caught a few odd episodes when they were in reruns... but not that many at all. Then I finally bought the first season set... and found I really enjoyed the show. Instead of continuing to buy the season sets I decided to just get this complete series set. This way I would get it all at once... and then there was the added bonus of a special bonus disc only available through the complete series set.

In a matter of just about a month I completed this set... all 9 seasons... 207 episodes! And I must say... I really enjoyed every minute of it! I just couldn't stop watching it! I definitely feel I got my money worth with this series. I found myself literally laughing out loud through the entire series... well the entire series up until the last few episodes of the series. Don't get me wrong... I still enjoyed it. And I do get the storyline demanded a much more serious atmosphere... but I just think it took too much of a turn to the more series and not as much comedy as there should of been. But then that could also be because I really didn't care for the storyline they chose for the final episodes.

The packaging for this set leaves a lot to be desired as well. I know there is a more fancy IPS Truck shaped complete series set out there... but I felt they were just asking too much money for that one. This one is exactly like the complete series set for Married with Children where it opens up like a digipak... but on each side there is 2 big spools with half the discs on each side... the discs just sitting on top each other. I can deal with it... but it is probably my least favorite packaging I ever seen.

Over all this is a set I definitely recommend. The complete 9 season (207 eps.) set plus a bonus disc available only through the complete series set.... at amazon right now for under  $40. Definitely a great deal for a great series!
