THE AVENGERS '62 (reviewed by Rob Lineberger, overall score 75/100):
"The Emma Peel era would cement it, but the 1962 episodes show a
definite maturation into the defining Avengers vibe of witty repartee,
high fashion, and diabolical plots."

DOOGIE HOWSER, M.D.: SEASON FOUR (reviewed by Mac McEntire, overall
score 82/100):
"Now that the whole thing is on DVD, I'd say Doogie's journey
growing up is a trip worth taking, even if there are a few slow
spots along the way."

FRIENDS: THE ONE WITH ALL THE BIRTHDAYS (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 85/100):
"I'm still not sure who the precise target audience is for these
releases, but I have a feeling it can broken into two groups: 1) rabid,
Friends enthusiasts or 2) casual fans unwilling to fork over the moolah
for the complete sets. Maybe there's another demographic floating around
out there; if they do indeed exist, I think they'll enjoy this selection
of sharp sitcom wit."

HOGAN'S HEROES: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Dennis Prince,
overall score 86/100):
"When taken as a relic of vintage 1960s television fare, Hogan's Heroes
delivers not only some genuine laughs but also documents American
attitudes and acceptances in television programming."

MASTERS OF HORROR: MICK GARRIS: CHOCOLATE (reviewed by Mac McEntire,
overall score 85/100):
"Suspense is generated not by monsters or ghosts, but by the unfortunate
choices the characters make due to their flaws and their obsessions."

RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY MEGASET: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Mike
Pinsky, overall score 91/100):
"Rumpole himself always upholds truth and justice with an almost
righteous fervor. The law is his calling. It has to be: it certainly
isn't paying him enough."

THE STORYTELLER: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION (reviewed by James A.
Stewart, overall score 89/100):
"Hurt is very good at setting the right mood with an opener like
'Imagine a cold night, and a dark night. A night just like this one . .
..' You can just imagine listening to this old man by the fire, and he
can even make you smell biscuits when there aren't any. Now that's a
storyteller."

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: ORIGINAL SERIES (VOLUME 4) (reviewed by
David Johnson, overall score 80/100):
"The shows are great, but this treatment is totally bogus."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/tmntvol4.php
TOMMY LEE GOES TO COLLEGE (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 90/100):
"His advisor, Dr. Gay, helped Tommy get a tutor from the university.
And, I'm sure by television fate, Tommy's tutor was a stunningly hot,
corn-fed, blonde beauty."
