THE BATMAN: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE BAT (SEASON 1, VOLUME 2) (reviewed by
Mac McEntire, overall score 81/100):
"The anime-inspired reinvention of the hugely popular DC Comics hero
continues with three more episodes' worth of high-flying, butt-kicking
superhero action, but is this Batman too different from the one viewers
are used to?"

THE BRADY BUNCH: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Dennis Prince,
overall score 79/100):
"The show is definitely harmless (provided you brush thoroughly after
each viewing) and perpetually endearing in its lack of self-
consciousness despite its heavily moral cliches. It's a groovy time just
waiting to be had."

FARSCAPE: SEASON 2, COLLECTION 2 (STARBURST EDITION) (reviewed by Jeff
Andreasen, overall score 90/100):
"Farscape has, fortunately, proven to be an oasis of wonder in an
otherwise bleak sea of standard science fiction gloom."

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED: JOINING FORCES (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs,
overall score 86/100):
"I'm enjoying the heck out of these little three-episode DVDs. Ever
since the shift to the Justice League Unlimited format, with the
apparent aim of animating every single hero in the DC Comics universe,
it's easier than ever to get your superhero freak on."

THE MAN SHOW BOY AND HOUSEHOLD HINTS FROM ADULT FILM STARS (reviewed by
Brett Cullum, overall score 84/100):
"I can't imagine anyone without a penis finding the material very
amusing, but those that are suitably equipped should giggle with
adolescent abandon throughout the whole thing."

PETTICOAT JUNCTION: ULTIMATE COLLECTION (reviewed by Brett Cullum,
overall score 90/100):
"MPI has graced Petticoat Junction -- Ultimate Collection with a strong
sense of history and context. It puts recent releases like the Bewitched
season collections to shame, and sets a high standard for how television
shows should be documented."

THE PRETENDER: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Brett Cullum,
overall score 93/100):
"The second season of The Pretender is stronger than the first. Things
got significantly darker, and the Centre subplot became the main focus.
This run of shows concentrates on identity, and lets all the Fugitive
elements take a back seat to the mystery."

RIPPING YARNS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 79/100):
"The show's saving grace is Palin and his remarkable range. He is
infinitely watchable."

SMALLVILLE: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs,
overall score 87/100):
"If you're keeping Lois, why keep Chloe too? It doesn't make sense.
Worse, it seems to indicate the creeping onset of Xanderitis: a
condition in which a teen soap opera starts becoming bloated with
characters that begin to outlive their usefulness but that the writers,
for whatever reason, are reluctant to get rid of."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/smallvilleseason4.php
STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, SEASON THREE (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 84/100):
"Without equivocation, the ending of Season Three is an embarrassment to
fans and a shame to the hard work the actors, writers, and crew who
toiled so hard to turn things around for the failing franchise."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/enterpriseseason3.php
WIRE IN THE BLOOD: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Joel Pearce,
overall score 93/100):
"Wire in the Blood is so good it doesn't even feel like watching
television."
