BABY LOONEY TUNES: PLAYDAY PALS (VOLUME 1) (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 80/100):
"Will kids like it? Sure, once they get past the weird set-up of a
single, elderly woman raising half a dozen talking animals in diapers."

BALLYKISSANGEL: SERIES FOUR (reviewed by James A. Stewart, overall
score 89/100):
"Perhaps it would be best to start with Ballykissangel: Series One, but
this season of change seems like a good place to jump in as well, and a
patient viewer will learn to recognize the large cast quickly. The
scenery doesn't hurt, either."

THE BRADY BUNCH: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON (reviewed by Patrick Naugle,
overall score 80/100):
"Then again, did you ever feel cheated that you never witness Peter
struggling with a heroin addiction or Cindy pimping her body out
for cash?"
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/bradybunchseason5.php
THE FLASH: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by David Gutierrez, overall
score 80/100):
"From the show's use of the Flash's Central City home to the inclusion
of the comic's Rogues Gallery to its handling of the Flash's classic
origin story, the show hits all the right notes."

THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Adam
Arseneau, overall score 87/100):
"Here's the thing with Fresh Prince: it hasn't aged well. Certain
elements of the show have aged incredibly badly, like the fashion sense.
How it was ever acceptable to dress in such foolish clothes, I'll never
know, but it certainly looks downright silly a decade later."

GIDGET: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Cynthia Boris, overall
score 85/100):
"This was Sally's very first series, so her experience as an actress was
limited when she got the role. Maybe this is why she comes across so
charming and real. There's no fear here. Sally just opens up and gives,
making faces at the camera, throwing herself physically into her scenes,
and just generally doing what comes naturally."

MIND OF MENCIA: UNCENSORED SEASON ONE (reviewed by Patrick Naugle,
overall score 94/100):
"Mencia himself is a likable guy. Paunchy and a little funny looking, he
reminds you of that wacky frat guy that was always a hoot to drink beer
with in college."

NICK CANNON PRESENTS: WILD 'N OUT: SEASON ONE (reviewed by Brett Cullum,
overall score 88/100):
"What if you took a honky corny comedy improvisation show like Whose
Line Is It Anyway, and recast it with slick hip-hop-style comics?"
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/wildnoutseason1.php
POLICE WOMAN: FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Rob Lineberger, overall
score 74/100):
"Police Woman was daring. Cops got shot and perished in pools of blood
on the sidewalk. Women were raped and killed -- in their brassieres.
Perps didn't always floss, or even brush much."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/policewomanseason1.php
THE SCOOBY-DOO DYNOMUTT HOUR: THE COMPLETE SERIES (reviewed by Brett
Cullum, overall score 87/100):
"By the time Scooby-Doo teamed up with Dynomutt, he had a pat formula
that never varied. The sixteen mysteries presented here feel uninspired
when compared with the original three year run of the show. Villains are
often laughable, especially when you get to the Neapolitan ghosts that
come in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry."

THE SIMPSONS: KISS AND TELL (reviewed by Dennis Prince, overall
score 85/100):
"As is to be expected from The Simpsons, each episode is genuinely fresh
and funny and these four are no exception. The tinge of staleness,
however, sets in when otherwise excellent episodes are peddled in this
sort of re-run manner."

THE SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS: UPON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
(VOLUME 1) (reviewed by Geoffrey Miller, overall score 85/100):
"Macross has a way of speaking to my inner 13-year-old. Cool robots,
cute girls, and lots of space battles -- what more could a boy beginning
the long, awkward odyssey through puberty want? It's straight-forward
enough that my middle-school self didn't have any problems understanding
it, yet it has enough underlying complexity that it still keeps my adult
self's attention."

THE X-FILES MYTHOLOGY: COLONIZATION (VOLUME 3) (reviewed by Bill Gibron,
overall score 92/100):
"Though David Duchovny as Fox Mulder garnered all the limelight -- and
way too many prima donna plotlines toward the end -- the real anchor to
the series is Gillian Anderson. She is the audience's doorway into the
world of The X Files, a lady of logic slowly seduced by the messages she
uncovers."
