DORA THE EXPLORER: ANIMAL ADVENTURES (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 70/100):
"The whole thing encourages interaction from your preschooler as he or
she attempts to match decibels with Dora, shouting the answers back at
her, until, with child and cartoon character screaming at the top of
their voices, your house resembles one of those 19th century British
insane asylums."

FARSCAPE: SEASON 3, COLLECTION 2 (STARBURST EDITION) (reviewed by David
Ryan, overall score 97/100):
"This batch of episodes, from midway through the third season of the
show, are as fresh, daring, and robustly entertaining as any from the
show's too-brief run. Farscape is one of the most reliable pieces of
entertainment in all of science fiction."

HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: SEASON 2, VOLUME 1 (reviewed by
David Johnson, overall score 97/100):
"All Night Long with Ram-Man is brought to you by the BCI Eclipse
release of the six-disc set He-Man and the Masters of the Universe:
Season 2, Vol. 1, another excellent presentation and the standard-setter
by which all animated television sets should be judged."

THE NEW MEDICINE (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 85/100):
"It's a nice documentary, and well worth checking out. Your health may
depend on it. Now smile damn it, or you'll get gingivitis."

RED DWARF: SERIES 5-8 (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 98/100):
"One of the greatest elements of this series is that it always
understood the value of keeping the audience on its toes. Sometimes it
was intentional. At other moments, it was outside circumstance or
budgetary blunders that caused the shake-u! p. Still, the one consistent
thing that survived over the years was the comedy."

RESCUE ME: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Adam Arseneau,
overall score 94/100):
"As always, Tommy is the one bringing up the rear in terms of getting
his life together. Ironically, when Tommy does get his act together, he
does it with such terrifying resolve that his behavior as a reformed,
well-mannered citizen is actually more frightening than his drunken,
abusive persona. Change, you see, is a complicated thing."

SCRUBS: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 93/100):
"It is bizarre what we sometimes visualize in out most private moments,
and Scrubs does a very good job turning completely private moments into
public spectacles without losing the humanity of the characters."

SNAPS (reviewed by Jonathan Weiss, overall score 68/100):
"There's some pretty scathing stuff here. But is it worth taking out the
crowbar to crack open your wallet for the honor of owning your very own
copy? If you think it is, then it's obvious that your mama is so stupid
that she only has one toe and the ho still bought a pair of flip-flops."

THE STALKER'S APPRENTICE (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall score
75/100):
"This taut, made-for-television thriller from Britain was a nice find."

THE VENTURE BROS.: SEASON ONE (reviewed by David Ryan, overall
score 90/100):
"This is a show that probably could, with a bit of tweaking, survive
quite well on network television. But don't confuse it with something
'mainstream' -- it's still a unique and quirky show that's unlike
anything since The Tick."
