SEASON, LAGUNA BEACH: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, THE SID CAESAR
COLLECTION: 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: FEAR OF A

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS: BEARS OUT AND ABOUT (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 88/100):
"The Berenstain Bears: Bears Out and About is the antidote to mindless,
incoherent imported animation about kids running around with fire-
breathing stuffed animals or whatever is cool these days."

BLUE'S ROOM: ALPHABET POWER (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 90/100):
"This show focuses solely on the 26 letters of the alphabet,
characterized here as sentient beings with eyes. When the letters stop
over to kick it with Blue, the learning detonates."

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 82/100):
"Perhaps the most amazing revelation here is how similar in style and
tone Do Not Adjust Your Set was to preliminary Python. Do Not Adjust
Your Set relies on short surreal skits, bombastic blackouts, and the
occasional long-form sketch. Certainly you can see that the level of
humor pales in comparison to the upcoming classic, but there is still
some risk taking here."

THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO: SEASON THREE (reviewed by Eric Profancik,
overall score 72/100):
"The stories are still silly, off the wall, far-fetched, and at times
painful, yet they were able to put together some of that original charm
that helped make the show work in the beginning."

THE KING OF QUEENS: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON (reviewed by Patrick
Naugle, overall score 78/100):
"Yes, I laughed during each episode, but not enough to catapult the
series into the sitcom stratosphere with Frasier or Everybody Loves
Raymond. The bulk of the series tends toward mediocrity."

LAGUNA BEACH: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Brett Cullum,
overall score 83/100):
"Am I expected to feel sorry for or relate to these people in the
slightest? They live in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet,
they drive expensive cars, wear expensive clothes, live in multimillion
dollar homes, and have no stress other than who their prom date is
going to be."

THE SID CAESAR COLLECTION: 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION (reviewed by Joe
Armenio, overall score 87/100):
"Fans of modern-day sketch comedy will be amazed (pleasantly, I think)
at the patience with which some of the best skits here develop; a piece
like 'Aggravation Boulevard' or 'Nan's Birthday,' both of which are over
20 minutes long, develops like a good sitcom episode, exploring a comic
plot rather than simply rushing headlong from joke to joke."

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: FEAR OF A KRABBY PATTY (reviewed by Patrick
Naugle, overall score 77/100):
"After watching these cartoon shorts I don't really understand how the
show is discernible from the many others running on Nickelodeon and
Cartoon Network. Is it humorous? Sure, in a few spots, but no more and
no less than any other tyke programming on television these days."

WIND IN THE WILLOWS: THE COMPLETE SECOND SERIES (reviewed by Joel
Pearce, overall score 84/100):
"Fans of The Wind in the Willows will certainly want to add this second
volume to their collections. Although these aren't the best episodes in
the series, there are enough delightful moments to satisfy all but the
most jaded of youngsters."
