HOOKER: SEASONS ONE AND TWO:
AFV: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS (reviewed by Michael Stailey, overall
score 85/100):
"We recommend Shout! Factory head back to the drawing board to mine the
wealth of this series to create more effective future releases, while
limiting our exposure to Bob Saget. Sorry, Bob."

ATOMIC BETTY: BETTY, SET, GO! (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs, overall
score 85/100):
"From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Disney's Kim Possible, we've seen this
all before. But that doesn't make it any less fun -- which is a good
thing, because fun is just about all that this cartoon has to offer."

DARK SHADOWS THE REVIVAL: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Brett Cullum,
overall score 80/100):
"The campy excesses and melodramatic lines were charming after school
in the late '60s, but at night in the '90s Dark Shadows was long in
the tooth."

THE DICK CAVETT SHOW: ROCK ICONS (reviewed by Neal Solon, overall
score 95/100):
"The Dick Cavett Show distinguished itself with the musicians it
attracted, the odd combinations of guests, and Cavett's in-depth
interviews. Sadly, there is nothing on TV like it today."

EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON (reviewed by Patrick
Naugle, overall score 90/100):
"One of the miracles about Everybody Loves Raymond is that while it's a
'family sitcom,' it's never sugar sweetened. Raymond's family is usually
obnoxious, says horrible things, and puts each other in situations that
would embarrass Tom Green. Yet these people are not the Bundy family --
though there is a heavy dose of bickering and frustration, the family
still loves each other, especially Debra and Raymond."

I LOVE LUCY: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON (reviewed by Patrick Naugle,
overall score 87/100):
"Redheads can relate. Pretty girls can identify. Anyone who's ever tried
to do something little that ended up as a big mess knows what Lucy is
talkin' about. Those without any manual dexterity get it. Anyone who has
ever begged forgiveness for something they've done from a husband or
wife can identify. Anybody who wails at the first sign of frustration,
nod your heads slowly."

KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Bill
Gibron, overall score 90/100):
"Ever since we saw him, an everyday Joe in a joke of a suit and a lark
of a hat, we loved this demented, disheveled conqueror of the creepy.
Whether it was battling a fierce and frightening vampire in The Night
Stalker, and later taking on a sinister Civil War doctor with the secret
to immortality in The Night Strangler, Kolchak was our Mulder."

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON (reviewed by Aaron
Bossig, overall score 89/100):
"Who knows? If it weren't for the Bundys, Steve and Marcy could have
lived a long and happy life together. Whatever the case, ending Steve
and Marcy's marriage was a natural step for the writers to take, given
how much they'd changed."

THAT'S MY MAMA: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Dennis Prince,
overall score 72/100):
"As far as the situations themselves go, That's My Mama doesn't cover
anything particularly groundbreaking, although it is refreshing that it
refrains from making more of the same old 'whitey' or 'honkey' put-downs
as did some of its TV brethren, thereby making it all the more enjoyable
to viewers across cultures."

T.J. HOOKER: SEASONS ONE AND TWO (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 80/100):
"See, T.J. Hooker is just Star Trek with Shatner in a policeman's
uniform, hilariously running around way too much. Why did I wait so long
to tune in?"
