Pains The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - The Complete Third Season Dallas,
The Complete Fourth Season
In this, arguably the series' best year, you'll find an unusual array of guest stars - Frank Zappa, Ted Nugent, Edward James Olmos, Penn Jillette, Iman, Miles Davis, Leonard Cohen, The Fat Boys, Gene Simmons, Little Richard and too many others to mention - including up and coming actors like Nathan Lane and Michael Richards. There are no extras, just the 22 episodes that comprised the exiting second season. A Miami Vice movie is due this summer (there's a trailer here) - so we can look for season three soon, I suspect.
What is it about this weird animated farce that makes it so funny? The juvenile humor aims squarely for those of us who had our sense of humor frozen in Junior High school. Apparently there are more of us that I thought! Those who enjoy this program on cable may wonder why they should buy this package. Quite simply, the creators go all out on these DVD releases - for instance, select 'Play All' from the menu and all the episodes play at one time! Aqua Teen Hunger Force Four sports a bizarrely designed fold-out package and the show commentaries were recorded at a party for the staff so you get to hear from people who work on every aspect of the production along with a lot of drunken chatter. There's an ATHF movie coming in 2006 - oh joy! Highly recommended! Season four (episodes 65 through 83, 1988-89) represents some of the best storylines for this fondly remembered globe-spanning action series starring Richard Dean Anderson in the role of a lifetime. During this year the series hit its peak of popularity with guest stars like Teri Hatcher, Cuba Gooding Jr., Michael Des Barres, Jason Priestly and G. Gordon Liddy. This collection is austere - you merely get the fourth season episodes with no extras - but then that's what you're paying for isn't it? This
collection will make a great gift because it's brand new - just released
on December 6th. And the price is right, less
than $30 from Amazon with free shipping - you can even order
seasons 1-4 in one convenient package and save more $$$$.
Get MacGyver for that '80's TV fan now! ER
- The Complete Fourth Season Relive all of the tension and drama that this multiple Emmy-Award winning series is known for (ER received 16 Emmy nominations for this season alone). Extras include a documentary covering the historic live season opener, an intimate look at the cast after that program aired, deleted scenes and a very funny gag reel. This impressive set will be released in time for Christmas, on December 20, 2005, so it's possible to have it in your hands on the big day if you order now from Amazon. (I hear rumors it's in some stores already.) West
Wing - The Complete Fifth Season Besides the 22 episodes you'd expect on six discs, take a look at the wide array of extras: a commentary by John Wells and Alex Graves on '7A WF 83429'; commentary by John Wells and Christopher Misiano on 'The Dogs of War'; commentary by Alex Graves, Jessica Yu, and Debora Cahn on 'The Supremes'; a profile of President Bartlett and Martin Sheen; an in-depth look at the episode 'Gaza' and unaired scenes from three episodes. Both ER and West Wing are a great value
Barbra
Streisand - The Television Specials This opulent
5-disc collection includes: Color Me Barbra - the second special, like the first, showcases Barbra solo, front and center but in a more relaxed, playful mood. This was her first choreographed by the legendary Joe Layton who went on to stage Barbra's next TV outings. The Belle of 14th Street - while some of these specials were released on video in the 1980s, this one remained unseen since the first broadcast. Belle contains performances by Jason Robards and vaudeville's John Bubbles. A Happening in Central Park - the famous live concert that spawned a hit album with "Cry Me a River," "Second Hand Rose," "People," "Happy Days Are Here Again," and others. Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments - after a 5 year lull, Barbra returned to TV with this spectacular one-hour program with some wonderful duet and solo numbers with Ray Charles. Again, this is a first time release, unseen since 1973. Also included are Streisand's original 1987 video introductions for My Name Is Barbra, Color Me Barbra, and A Happening in Central Park and a booklet with detailed liner notes, photos, and song lists (art directed by the Diva herself, of course). Here
are some sample video "I'm Five" (from My Name Is Barbra) - (Quicktime) "I Stayed Too Long At The Fair/Look At That Face" (from Color Me Barbra) - (Real player) "I Stayed Too Long At The Fair/Look At That Face" (from Color Me Barbra) - (Quicktime) "Mother Macree" (from The Belle Of 14th Street) - (Real player) "Mother Macree" (from The Belle Of 14th Street) - (Quicktime) The only special missing from this era was the live concert Streisand did on CBS in 1974 for the opening of Funny Lady which the star considers one of her low points - but why quibble? This package is the bomb if you're a Streisand fan or just a fan of musical variety television at its finest. It doesn't get any better than this!
