THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW: SEASON FIVE (reviewed by Patrick Naugle, overall
score 83/100):
"Although the show is rooted in the mundane -- people going about their
everyday business without much consequence -- it's still entertaining,
funny, warm, and timeless."

BAIAN THE ASSASSIN: VOLUME TWO (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 78/100):
"The stories this time around are just as rich and complex, but they are
also much more concise."

THE FLINTSTONES: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON (reviewed by Cynthia Boris,
overall score 75/100):
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a Family Guy fan, but a half hour without sex,
violence, or vulgar humor is a refreshing change of pace."

KING TUTANKHAMUN: THE MYSTERY UNSEALED (reviewed by Aaron Bossig,
overall score 76/100):
"By brushing off further analysis with 'we just don't know,' the program
sells short the mystery it's attempting to show."

NANAKA 6/17 (VOLUME ONE) (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall score
70/100):
"Somehow, the humor comes from the awkward pacing, the cheesy
situations, and the stupidity of the characters. I have, it seems, been
approaching these shows all wrong. To truly enjoy them, it's necessary
to revel in the weaknesses of the genre."

THE PETER JENNINGS COLLECTION (reviewed by Mike Pinsky, overall
score 85/100):
"All of the stories in The Peter Jennings Collection are probably worth
watching once. Once. And that is exactly the problem."

ROLLERGIRLS: THE COMPLETE SEASON ONE (reviewed by Mac McEntire, overall
score 92/100):
"I love the roller derby. Oh, stop looking at me like that. I can't
help it. Maybe it's super-violent action and the borderline sense of
anarchy. Maybe it's the sexy ladies. Maybe it's the 'alone at the
laundromat' enjoyment of watching something going around and around in
a circle. Maybe there's no explanation -- maybe it's just because it's
roller derby."

TAGGART: KILLER SET (reviewed by Adam Arseneau, overall score 66/100):
"With a running time of more than two hours each, these episodes border
on being painfully long. Watching these episodes, you can walk to the
kitchen for a snack, maybe brew a cup of tea if you were in the mood,
and return to find that absolutely nothing had transpired."

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE: SET 3 (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 75/100):
"Now here I am, watching 'The Living Skins' where the aliens are nothing
more than oversized, flesh-colored balloons. (Yes, if you look closely
you can see the knots.) Bouncing around, the Balboids strike fear into
everyone, but I'm just sitting on my couch wondering why anyone just
doesn't stick a needle into them and pop them!"

THE WHITE SHADOW: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Brendan
Babish, overall score 78/100):
"Ultimately, the show, which seems to have been created for a young
crowd, has little to offer teenagers of the 21st century. Instead it can
probably only be truly appreciated for its nostalgic value among those
who watched its original broadcasts over 25 years ago."
