THE BEST OF NOT THE 9 O'CLOCK NEWS (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 80/100):
"N9N is an exceptionally sharp sketch show that hit a wide array of
targets, both big and small."

BOOHBAH: BIG WINDOWS (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 80/100):
"It's all very psychedelic and wonky, but apparently there's a method to
the madness."

BOOHBAH: BUILDING BLOCKS (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 80/100):
"I have never seen a television show that so appears to be a direct
result of recreational drug use."

DRAGON TALES: SING AND DANCE IN DRAGONLAND (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 85/100):
"As you can probably infer by the song titles, we're not dealing with
hypnotic power ballads here. These are all brief, goofy ditties, whose
sole purpose it to get your kids dancing and singing and causing minimal
property damage in your living room."

I DREAM OF JEANNIE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Cynthia
Boris, overall score 80/100):
"I Dream of Jeannie was an innocently sexy version of everyman's
fantasy, a bachelor with a gorgeous female bound to fulfill his every
wish. It had a hip vibe, a cool, upscale lifestyle, and a soundtrack
with a distinctive jazz beat."

THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Dennis
Prince, overall score 96/100):
"While Mary played her role with slightly exaggerated exuberance (for
comedy's sake), she likewise imbued an honesty in her character that
spoke to and for women of the day."

MISSING: SEASON TWO (reviewed by Cynthia Boris, overall score 55/100):
"The show was enjoyable, suspenseful, and the characters didn't make me
want to hit them. Then Season Two came along."

TELETUBBIES: BLUE SKY (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 85/100):
"As I said, there are only four creatures, their gender indeterminate
(no reproductive organs were noted). They have close-cropped, uniquely-
colored fur (red, yellow, green, and purple), pronounced ears, large
eyes, strange, organic outcroppings growing from their heads and what
appear to be vid-screens embedded in their stomachs."

THAT'S MY MAMA: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Dennis Prince,
overall score 71/100):
"While the acting was still on par with what America expected and
enjoyed in a 70s sitcom, the comedy lacked compelling situations. It
became a series of one-liners with a thin plot wrapped around them, and,
sadly, each episode became somewhat indistinguishable from those that
had preceded or would follow."

WONDER SHOWZEN: SEASON ONE (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall
score 98/100):
"Like pure pop art smothered in sanctimonious sick perversion turned
into playtime, there is something so wrong about what creators Vernon
Chatman and Johnny Lee do to the already fractious elements of the kid
show that some state is bound to pass a law against it sometime in the
near future."

ZATOICHI: THE TELEVISION SERIES (VOLUME 2) (reviewed by Dan Mancini,
overall score 85/100):
"Surprisingly, the series represents a perfect translation of the films'
visual aesthetics to the small screen. Each episode was shot on film
with one camera, like a mini-movie."
