THE BOB NEWHART SHOW: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Dennis
Prince, overall score 94/100):
"It's a vintage mid-70s presentation and should be welcomed as such."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/bobnewhartshowseason3.php
DR. KATZ, PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST: SEASON ONE (reviewed by Neal Masri,
overall score 95/100):
"The real stand-out in Season One is a pre-Everybody Loves Raymond Ray
Romano. Ray is featured in three of the six episodes and with good
reason. His sessions are hysterical."

GOODFELLAS (HD DVD) (reviewed by Ryan Keefer, overall score 95/100):
"There's a definite change in picture quality when going from the
regular version of the film to this HD version. I'm not slamming it,
I've just got to get used to it. But for now (at least in my mind), I
kind of miss the blurred view from too much cigarette smoke and crappy
lighting."

GUYS AND DOLLS: DELUXE EDITION (reviewed by Rob Lineberger, overall
score 89/100):
"Guys and Dolls does not thrive on memorable songs; it thrives in
the moment."

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: FOUR-DISC DIRECTOR'S CUT (reviewed by Ryan Keefer,
overall score 97/100):
"At two hours, Kingdom of Heaven was incomplete and unfairly judged for
it. At three hours and change, it is a far more satisfying and engaging
experience."

KING OF THE HILL: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON (reviewed by Brendan Babish,
overall score 90/100):
"Part of the genius of King of the Hill is how it so adeptly uses the
Southern lifestyle as a backdrop for its dry humor without ever
condescending or mocking Southern values. While Arlen may be populated
by a slew of eccentric characters, none resemble The Simpsons' resident
redneck, Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel."

M*A*S*H: SEASON TEN (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 85/100):
"Though Hawkeye is a shadow of his former debauched self -- heck,
he's nigh-asexual in this season -- the character is still engaging
and funny."

MILLION DOLLAR BABY (HD DVD) (reviewed by Ryan Keefer, overall
score 87/100):
"The thing that makes this whole high definition DVD platform so neat is
that the close shots of flesh tones really possess a lot of detail.
Granted, looking at a pair of septuagenarians close up may not be as
appealing as you'd expect, but in this new high def omelet, sometimes
you've got to break some eggs."

NINE TO FIVE: SEXIST, EGOTISTICAL, LYING, HYPOCRITICAL BIGOT EDITION
(reviewed by Dennis Prince, overall score 93/100):
"Its impact was made all the more satisfying by its method of promoting
the pretty faces of Fonda, Parton, and Tomlin in its ad campaign, then
delivering a sucker punch to unsuspecting audiences who howled at the
severity of the secretaries' vengeance."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/ninetofivese.php
SECOND IN COMMAND (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 83/100):
"If you like your action flicks populated by smarmy Marines and
perforated Eastern European terrorists, this flick should bake your
noodle fine."
