COMFORTS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, DICE: HIGH SPEED ACTION, MCMILLAN
AND WIFE: SEASON ONE, SLIDERS: THE THIRD SEASON, SPENSER: THE MOVIE
COLLECTION, and XENA: THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION:
ANDROMEDA: SEASON FOUR, COLLECTION FIVE (reviewed by David Ryan, overall
score 79/100):
"The season was not the crowning achievement in science fiction
television that some thought might be in store during the show's early
episodes. Instead, it was just another run of episodes from an uneven,
but often entertaining, good quality sci-fi action-adventure with a
talented and engaging cast."

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: SOLSTROM: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Steve
Evans, overall score 87/100):
"Whatever you may think of an entire television series devoted to stunt
clowns and pantomimes, Solstrom offers satisfying mood pieces that
pulsate with magic."

CREATURE COMFORTS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by James A.
Stewart, overall score 92/100):
"Context obviously takes a Brighton holiday in Creature Comforts. Thus,
you get birds talking about fear of flying, and a turkey at Christmas
season saying, 'I do feel I'm being pulled in all directions. They're
all going to get a piece of me.'"

DICE: HIGH SPEED ACTION (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score
82/100):
"You can't judge a title like DICE: High Speed Action along the same
lines as you would something like the Ghost in the Shell series. This is
a show that's about simple desires -- speed, toys, and fast plots that
disappear into the ether as quickly as they came. It's fine fun for the
young and young-at-heart, but not a series for serious anime fans."

MCMILLAN AND WIFE: SEASON ONE (reviewed by Paul Corupe, overall
score 79/100):
"Updating the starry-eyed banter of Nick and Nora Charles to meet modern
expectations, the series keeps the focus distinctly on the lovey-dovey
relationship between the two principals, indulging in silly word play
and gentle humor to keep the characters interesting and the show
evolving."

SLIDERS: THE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Mac McEntire, overall
score 78/100):
"At a time when sci-fi television was dominated by dark shows such as
The X-Files and its many rip-offs, Sliders dared to be different by
being lighthearted."

SPENSER: THE MOVIE COLLECTION (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs, overall
score 56/100):
"Any of Robert B. Parker's principal characters could be as dynamic, but
Avery Brooks is the only performer who makes the most of his role. And
let me tell you -- that's about the only thing this otherwise lackluster
movies have going for them."

XENA: THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (reviewed by Maurice Cobbs,
overall score 95/100):
"With all of the season sets of Xena already available, it's tempting to
regard this set as a cheap marketing ploy -- especially nowadays, when
studios feel little compunction about tacking on a couple of cheap and
skimpy 'extra special features' to justify double dipping. But that
ain't the case with this set. Some real thought and effort was put into
making this a great buy for fans and newcomers alike. Battle on!"
