THE TELEVISION SERIES (VOLUME THREE):
BRILLIANT BUT CANCELLED: CRIME DRAMAS (reviewed by Paul Corupe, overall
score 72/100):
"Here's a DVD where the idea is far better than the actual execution."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/bbccrimedramas.php
CHEERS: THE COMPLETE EIGHTH SEASON (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 87/100):
"Despite the dissolution of the character of Rebecca Howe and a handful
of broken episodes, this season still proved to be enormously
entertaining, often delivering truly brilliant writing."

THE CLOSER: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Mike Pinsky, overall
score 90/100):
"The trick to enjoying The Closer is to relish the juicy performances
and tight dialogue and don't worry so much about the 'trick' solutions
that you can see coming a mile away."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/closerseason1.php
CRISS ANGEL: MINDFREAK: THE COMPLETE SEASON ONE (reviewed by Dan
Mancini, overall score 80/100):
"If David Blaine is the old-timey stage magician reinvented as a
mumbling, street-bound, Starbucks barista-style slacker, then Criss
Angel is the old-timey stage magician with a rock star veneer of tousled
hair, chiseled abs, chunky Doc Martens, and bling. He looks like the
kind of guy who beats up Starbucks baristas and steals their mousy
girlfriends just because he can."

DOCTOR WHO: REVELATION OF THE DALEKS (reviewed by Eric Profancik,
overall score 75/100):
"Filled with interesting characters, inspired satire, witty repartee,
great action, and the Daleks, this story easily defeats the passage of
time and is as memorable today as it was when it first aired over twenty
years ago. The intriguing commentary on life and death will stir
conversation, as soon as you rescue the kids from behind the couch."

MASTERS OF HORROR: LUCKY MCKEE: SICK GIRL (reviewed by Mac McEntire,
overall score 88/100):
"Can director Lucky McKee be considered a 'Master of Horror,' when he
hasn't made as many films as heavy hitters John Carpenter or Dario
Argento? When his one significant contribution to the genre is May, the
answer is 'yes, absolutely.'"

THE MIDNIGHT BLUE COLLECTION: FREAKS AND GEEKS (reviewed by Paul Corupe,
overall score 83/100):
"Midnight Blue was an absolutely peerless parade of trash that made it a
highly unlikely candidate for DVD treatment. But here it is all the
same, preserved in all its smutty glory."

NICK JR. FAVORITES VOLUME 4 (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 85/100):
"The dude who plays Robbie Rotten still haunts my dreams, but everything
else is good, kinetic, pastel fun."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/nickjrfavoritesvol4.php
NICK PICKS VOLUME 4 (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 80/100):
"Man, there is no shortage of Nickelodeon product for parents to shell
out greenbacks for."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/nickpicksvol4.php
THE RON WHITE SHOW (reviewed by Adam Arseneau, overall score 11/100):
"The show does not merely crash and burn; it spontaneously combusts
into the faces of everyone associated with it, leaving third-degree
burns to the majority of the body, with unfortunate scarring in the
genitals. Ouch."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/ronwhiteshow.php
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: THE BEST OF COMMERCIAL PARODIES (reviewed by Mike
Pinsky, overall score 90/100):
"Steve Martin said it best, folks. Comedy is not pretty. To wit:
Saturday Night Live."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/snlcommercials.php
THAT '70S SHOW: SEASON FOUR (reviewed by Rob Lineberger, overall
score 92/100):
"More often than not, the actors cannot contain their actual amusement.
This is technically 'bad' acting, but the decision to leave in these
cracks in the facade gives the show energy. It is easy to shoot another
take when someone cracks a smile, but difficult to cultivate the kind of
chemistry that makes actors want to smile."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/that70sshowseason4.php
TIME TUNNEL: SEASON 1, VOLUME 2 (reviewed by Cynthia Boris, overall
score 83/100):
"Yes, he's here -- your all-time favorite Irwin Allen star; the horny
costumed lizard!"
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/timetunnelvol2.php
WILL AND GRACE: SERIES FINALE (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall
score 93/100):
"Will Will and Grace raise a child together and find ultimate happiness?
Will Jack find anyone who loves him as much as he loves himself? Will
Karen find true happiness with the absence of Stan? All these questions
and more will be answered as this groundbreaking series concludes eight
amazing seasons."

ZATOICHI: THE TELEVISION SERIES (VOLUME THREE) (reviewed by Dan Mancini,
overall score 87/100):
"Zatoichi is an entertaining, artfully shot pulp action series that gets
better with each cluster of episodes judiciously doled out by Media
Blasters."
