Thank goodness for second seasons. While the first season of The Office started dubiously with a pilot that was just a poor copy of the original British version, it did manage to provide enough good material to stay on the air and hint that better was yet to come. And here it is. The second season of The Office finds its own footing and manages to do the near-impossible by not only breaking free of the gravity of that excellent BBC version to stand solidly on its own, but establishing it as one of the best comedies on TV. Season 2 starts out strong with "The Dundies," where Regional Manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell, The 40 Year Old Virgin) hosts the company's annual office-awards event with his signature less-than-perfect grace. Things seem to only get worse for him this season as he bumbles a potential affair with his boss, Jan (Melora Harding), angers his employees by reading their emails ("Email Surveillance"), cooks his foot ("The Injury"), and accidentally destroys the warehouse with a forklift in "Boys and Girls," one of the season's highlight episodes. Always at his side is the clueless paranoid Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the Assistant Regional Manager ("Assistant to the Regional Manager," Michael always reminds him in one of the show's running jokes).
One of the reasons for the show's improvement in the second season is increased focus on Dwight's character, who's becoming something of a pop-culture icon right down to having his own bobblehead. He in turn provides so much good material for Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinsky) to play off of, to their own amusement. But of course, Pam and Jim's simmering relationship is the real meat of the show, as their compatibility becomes more obvious, Jim's feelings for her continue to grow, and Pam struggles with the impending marriage to her less-than-caring boyfriend, Roy (David Denman). Things have to come to a head, and they do nicely in the final episode, "Casino Night." As strong as the leading characters are in The Office, it's the excellent peripheral characters that really make the show hilarious, especially dimwitted office-slug Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), long-suffering intern Ryan (B.J. Novak), office-ditz Kelly (Mindy Kaling), and ultra-conservative Angela (Angela Kinsey). As with season 1, this season contains excellent bonus features to give you an excuse to spend more time at The Office, including the fake PSAs, commentaries, Michael's The Faces of Scranton movie, the ten stand-alone webisodes, and deleted scenes. --Daniel Vancini
Description
Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Daily Show) stars in The Office, a fresh and funny mockumentary-style glimpse into the daily interactions of the eccentric workers at the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Based on the smash-hit British series of the same name and adapted for American Television by Greg Daniels (King of the Hill, The Simpsons), this fast-paced comedy parodies contemporary American water-cooler culture. Earnest but clueless regional manager Michael Scott (Carell) believes himself to be an exceptional boss and mentor, but actually receives more eye-rolls than respect from his oddball staff. Entertainment Weekly calls The Office "smart and trenchant," and all six hilarious season one episodes are available here on DVD for the first time. The awkward silences in The Office will have you laughing out loud!
It's time to clock in for Season Two of The Office, the comically honest look at the world of white-collar employment. Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) won a Golden Globe for his role as Michael Scott, the sometimes pathetic but always hilarious regional manager of Dunder-Mifflin paper supply company. Join him and the amazing ensemble cast (Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and B.J. Novak) as Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam and Ryan navigate the hidden romance and open absurdity of the business world, from the Christmas party to sexual harassment training to the "Booze Cruise" retreat to the heartbreak of "Casino Night." Developed by Greg Daniels (King of the Hill, The Simpsons), fully staffed with all 22 outrageous episodes and packed with hours of laugh-ot-loud bonus features, The Office: Season Two is the must-own cure for the workday blues.
Customer Reviews:
Good, But short!.......2007-07-09
The only comedy series I will watch.
But only six episodes for $20! I was so disappointed.
The Office: Seasons One and Two.......2007-07-09
This is a great deal! If you buy both seasons together you definately save. This is based on the British version and is just as funny if not better. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Best Sitcom EVER.......2007-07-06
This is an amazing sitcom. I could watch this DVD series again and again, infact I do and it drives my husband nuts. The best part is that if you work in an office, you know all of these characters. Somebody in your office will remind you of one of these characters. This is a wonderful sitcom and I hope it never ends. I live for Thursday nights on NBC! Love it! Love it!
Hilarious!.......2007-07-06
This show is absolutely the best show I've ever seen! The humor is brilliant.
I love John Krasinski and all the other actors.
Best show since Seinfeld.......2007-07-05
How often do you witness something someone is doing and you feel that horrible embarrassment for them? You know, that chill that goes up the spine?? Yeah, that is what this show is all about. And it's brilliant. Each character is flawless and contributes to the office environment perfectly. For those of you who complain about it being racist or prejudice or sexist or blah blah blah and because of this is insulting, well, you don't get the humor. It's what makes the show so great. You get to appreciate it even more when you work in an office environment and can relate to some of the show's situations (though perhaps not as extreme as the show). I have yet to watch the BBC version and I have heard critisism from the British version's fans...understandable. The American version is based off of the British version because of how great it was. In any case, this is still one of the top sitcoms in the last decade. Keep up the great work Steve Carrell et al!

Customer Reviews:
Your House is Your Holmes.......2007-07-08
I caught this show only sporadically during the 1st season, I did not quite get what was going on, but I knew I liked the grumpy doctor guy. My wife & I managed to stumble on a few more shows during year 2, and got hooked solid during the 3rd season. We are both huge Sherlock Holmes fans, and we could see the similiarities, but we did not realize they were so intentional until the address on the door "B" and front entry "221" were displayed in one of the final 3rd season shows. (I did not realize they were also shown as "221B" during the 2nd season). So House & Wilson are a reincarnated Holmes & Watson, the rest of the parallels you have to dig around for yourself (more fun) or look it up on the web.
We are watching these now as an addiction, every other night 2-3 shows at a time. We only have 8 shows of the 2nd season left to go, so we need to preorder season 3 soon. The writing & directing are absolutely solid, on every episode; well, actually there was one episode at the beginning of season 2 that was "off" chemistry wise, but every other episode has been a gem, with fast paced intelligent dialog, wit, sarcasm and emotional tension, despite the techno-medical-speak. I have not been this hooked on anything from television since...Star Trek?
Understand though, that these are not really medical stories, they are detective stories in a medical setting. And everybody lies.
House DVD~ 1 & 2 Seasons.......2007-07-05
Excellent condition. Super Seller high quality DVDs and in Excellent new condition. Hard to not watch over and over. Thanks
Best TV Series Ever.......2007-06-16
Just wanted to sprinkle the stars. Well deserved...
Great show, great price.......2007-06-12
I recently became a fan of House throughout the course of the 3rd season, and needed to catch up. The two-season set of DVD's was perfect for me. It was an excellent price compared to what the two would be individually in the store. I am only half way done but so far, Dr. House has lived up to my expectations. I recommend this show to anyone!
Superb DVD.......2007-06-10
Well, what can I say about this DVD set.. You get the best of Dr. House in season 1 and 2 and you will enjoy every second of it. In top of all the episods from the season 1 and 2, you get alot of bonus stuff like bloopers and set tour etc. I really enjoyed the DVD collection and it is most deff a good buy...

Season One: Winner of the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy its first year out, Arrested Development is the kind of sitcom that gives you hope for television. A mockumentary-style exploration of the beleaguered Bluth family, it's one of those idiosyncratic shows that doesn't rely on a laugh track or a studio audience; it's shot more like a TV drama, albeit with an omniscient narrator (executive producer Ron Howard) overseeing the proceedings. Holding the Bluths together just barely is son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), the only normal guy in a family that's chock full of nuts. Hardworking and sensible, Michael's certain he's going to be given control of his family's Enron-style corporation upon the retirement of his father (Jeffrey Tambor). The fact that he's passed over instead for his mother (Jessica Walter) is only a blip when compared to his father's immediate arrest for dubious accounting practices, and the resulting freeze on the family's previously limitless wealth.
Bereft of money, and even less family love, the Bluths have to band together in their moment of need--not easy when everyone's looking out for number 1. In addition to his scabrous parents, Michael has to contend with his lothario older brother (Will Arnett), his basically useless younger brother (Tony Hale), his greedy twin sister (Portia DeRossi), and her sexually ambiguous husband (David Cross). Michael's only comrade in sanity is his son George Michael (Michael Cera), but then again, the teenage boy harbors a secret crush on his cousin (Alia Shawkat). A peerless ensemble led by the brilliant Bateman (who ever knew he could be this good?), all the actors are pitch-perfect in their roles, delivering the dryly funny, sometimes absurdist dialogue with the speed and flair of classic farce. The unusual tone of Arrested Development takes a bit of getting used to--it's far different from anything you'll see on TV, even HBO--but once you buy in to the Bluths' innumerable dysfunctions, you'll be laughing your head off for hours.--Mark Englehart
Season Two: The axe of cancellation dangled perilously over Arrested Development during its second season, but the award-winning comedy fought against fate to deliver a hilarious if scattershot 18 episodes (reduced from the original show order of 22), and stayed alive for the beginning of a third season. Most likely, the creators and actors knew the clock was ticking down, so they didn't hesitate to throw their all into these manic, hilarious episodes, which have only the thinnest of plot arcs but an electrifying energy that makes them hard to resist. Some of the story antics were more of the same: good son Michael (Jason Bateman) tries to keep his company afloat, but is often foiled by older brother Gob (Will Arnett); the precarious marriage of Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) and Tobias (David Cross) undergoes a trial separation; and young George-Michael (Michael Cera) fights his attraction to his cousin Maeby (Alia Shawkat). Other show developments, though, were new and stunningly, uproariously bizarre: Buster (Tony Hale) joins the army, but later finds his hand bitten off by a seal (yes, a real seal), and Oscar (Jeffrey Tambor), the hippie brother of jailed George Sr. (also Tambor), rekindles an affair with sister-in-law Lucille (Jessica Walter), which may have resulted in Buster's conception years ago.
Jokes flew fast and furious, as did guest stars--Ben Stiller, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Christine Taylor, Thomas Jane, Ed Begley Jr., Ione Skye, and Zach Braff among them--making it hard to keep straight who was doing what and why. No matter, as each of the episodes was in and of itself was a perfect gem of comedy, strung together by sharp writing and fantastic performances. In addition to the regular cast, both Liza Minnelli, reprising her role as "Lucille Two," and Martin Short, as an, um, eccentric family friend, deserve special mention, with the episode both appeared in, "Ready, Aim, Marry Me," a frenetic exercise in slapstick farce. Typical examples of the show's offbeat humor were found in "Afternoon Delight," in which various members of the Bluth family discover the true meaning of the '70s ballad, "Meet the Veals," wherein the Bluths encounter the conservative parents of George Michael's girlfriend, and "Motherboy XXX," surrounding an unsettling mother-son traditional dance. The entire cast cohered perfectly through this season, and their give and take provided a perfect balance among the actors, all of whom were even better than the previous year. However, it's Bateman who should be singled out as the show's anchor, mixing dry sarcasm with impeccable comic timing. Despite plummeting ratings, Arrested Development didn't just keep its head above water, it swam with grace and hilarity. --Mark Englehart
Season Three: Arrested Development--one of the greatest comedies in the history of television--went out in a blaze of glory. The truncated final season packed more biting humor per minute than ever before. In only 13 episodes, dozens of intertwining storylines spun in all directions: In addition to the overarching story about the fractious infighting of the Bluth family and the family's housing development company being investigated for treason in Iraq (a plot arc that comes to a dazzlingly surreal conclusion), the put-upon "good son" Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman, Teen Wolf Too) pursues romance with a lovely British woman (Charlize Theron, Monster) who turns out to be woefully inappropriate; swaggering magician Gob (Will Arnett, Monster-In-Law) flees from his newly-discovered teenage son while still pandering for the affection of his self-absorbed father (Jeffrey Tambor, The Larry Sanders Show); flighty Lindsay (Portia de Rossi, Ally McBeal) and her sexually blurry husband Tobias (David Cross, Mr. Show) both get the hots for the family's new lawyer, Bob Loblaw (Scott Baio, Charles in Charge); and much, much more. It's difficult to describe what makes Arrested Development so brilliant. The ensemble is uniformly superb (Jessica Walter, as the family's boozing, scheming matriarch, is particularly devastating this season) and the surprising guest stars (including Andy Richter, James Lipton, Justine Bateman, and many others) are perfectly cast; the characters' abominable behavior defies conventional television notions of "likability", yet they only grow more endearing the more you watch; the humor embraces wild slapstick and sharp satire, often within a single scene; and the nimble documentary style allows for sly glancing references to jokes and scenes from long-past episodes, rewarding devoted fans. But the key is that, no matter how screwball Arrested Development becomes, the show offers a rich, textured, and wonderfully coherent world in which these characters feel genuine, a world completely unlike the flat, plastic simulacrum offered by the average sitcom. Arrested Development was true to itself to the end. Its followers will cherish it forever. --Bret Fetzer

One of the funniest tv series on television.......2007-07-05
Off beat humour.
It was a very entertaining series. It's a pity it didn't run for longer.
Best Show Ever Made.......2007-06-30
The show has and always will be amazing, if you haven't seen it yet, I promise you will not be dissapointed with this purchase. I only wish there was some way to bring this show back to life. We all could use a few more laughs.
great.......2007-06-27
I got the product so quickly and it was great! I was able to watch it immediately and multiple times. I was so excited and wanted to share my enthusiasm with the other amazon customers.
Must Have.......2007-06-26
This DVD set is necessary for most households. We watch episodes several times a week. You need to see a few at a time to get the running gags. We see something new each time.
Arrested Development seasons 1-3.......2007-06-11
Hilarious! Everyone needs to own this show just so they can appreciate the jokes! There are so many that the more you see the funnier it gets! I love this show and I wish they'd bring it back!!!

I just do not see the appeal............2007-06-22
I mean the cases are bland, the acting wooden, and the writing non-existent. They say this is the highest rated cable show around, but i have yet to see any facts to back that up.
Fives stars for both seasons although those with high def TVs should be warned the first season is NOT anamorphic (2 is though).......2007-03-24
First up--Brenda Johnson has made me confess with her wily ways--the second season of "The Closer" is equally as good as the first. There are some plot developments that may season two unique though. First up, Brenda's mom (Francis McDormand)visits. Fritz moves in. Then movies out because Brenda's mom will be staying. As usual Brenda makes the bad guys talk whether it be the bizarre (the case of the cop and the psycho killer who mysterious killed each other at exactly the same time)or unexpected (a juror drops dead from cardiac arrest during a trial where the jury had been threatened).
I love this show with its mix of the quirky character of Johnson (who constantly fights the urge--not successfully I might add--to eat junk food)and her ability to figure out a crime. Unlike "Monk" this isn't focused more on the comedy elements but integrates them into a rich, suspenseful dramatic series. Sedgewick deserves to be nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal.
A fun and fascinating mystery ride, "The Closer" focuses on Deputy Chief of Police Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) is a fish out of water lured from Atlanta to L.A.by Assistant Police Chief Will Pope (J.K. Simmons J.J. Jameson from "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2") lead an elite unite that tackles high profile murder cases with her unusual approach to solving crimes. Her Georgia accent immediately sets her apart from her colleagues. She's much savvier underneath her down home accent than many give her credit for allowing her, like Columbo to tackle crimes that others might not be able to solve. Like Columbo and Monk she's got her own quirks (an addiction to junk food, she shows up at a crime scenes with her sick cat--named Cat--in a paper back and her southern charm can't quite hide her abrasive personality). It's a marvelous TV show with a terrific supporting cast (Jon Tenney, Robert Gossett among others).
"The Closer" looks extremely good in this presentation with all 14 episodes (the finale is a two hour episode or two-parter however you want to look at it) episodes on four DVDs. The first season box states that the show is presented in full screen but we get the original letterboxed images as broadcast on TNT. "The Closer: Season One" isn't anamorphically enhanced which results in it being presented on my widescreen TV with bars everywhere (to the sides, on the top and bottom).
For the first season there are no featurettes (for example he superb set that Universal put out for "Monk" has a lot of background on the show)on the development of the series, how Kyra Sedgewick became involved in the show, interviews with the supporting cast or a glimpse into the creative process of the show. We get deleted scenes for the bulk of the episodes (they were clearly cut for time constraints) presented with the time code at the bottom of the images so clearly most were cut prior to the final assembly of the show.
The second season comes with a good featurette on the show and the season gag reel. The second season is anamorphically presented so it fills a widescreen TV without the black bars.
No commentary tracks which is disappointing but the price is right for the show and it's presented in thin packs making it easier to store the DVDs without taking up much room.
Well written, performed and directed "The Closer" looks solid in its DVD presentation but could be improved significantly for the second season. I'd suggest that Warner present the show anamorphically enhanced and include some featurettes or commentary tracks in addition to the deleted scenes. This top notch show one of the best of the season deserves a deluxe treatment but because it's on TNT and has a smaller audience it's unlikely we'll probably see either one of these improvements for future sets.

This collection was a Father's Day gift for my husband, yet I was thoroughly impressed by the packaging and presentation of it all as well. Very nice job!
Of course he loved it, he is/was a devoted West Wing fan!!
Title.......2007-07-04
I have really been enjoying this dvd set. They really went all out on the packaging... they didn't "phone it in" at all. I'm on to season 4 now so you know it's gettin' good... :)
A Television classic.......2007-06-29
This very impressive Complete Collection has given me the chance to revisit a show I love and adore. I think this series is a television classic that ranks alongside Hill Street Blues. This series has one of America's finest writers - Aaron Sorkin. It also has one of the finest ensemble casts that I have ever seen in any broadcast medium. And a sense of humor, optimism, hope and whimsy that I find deeply moving.
One of the morals is that doing the right thing and having the courage of your convictions is far harder than taking the easier politically convenient route. A lesson that we should all learn. What's also amazing is how the show preempts so many of the issues we're grappling now - Privacy and Terrorism being two examples.
Seasons 1-4 are absolutely fantastic. Seasons 5-7 is a definite drop-in quality, mostly due to Aaron Sorkin's absence. Many characters actions aren't consistent with how they'd been previously established. Will Bailey was a great speechwriter, not a political operative. Toby betraying the President? CJ as Chief of Staff? And why wasn't Leo promoted to VP? Nevertheless these seasons are still watchable - providing you accept it's John Wells "ER-in-the-West-Wing".
Seasons 1-4 at least, are classic television. and if you love intelligent, literate television which respects the intelligence of the viewer - then please buy this Collection. You won't regret it.
Very Confusing.......2007-06-27
I received two complete sets (one replacing the other) because the first disk, first show, first series etc., started in the middle of the third season...both original sets sent to me. You could not watch show number 1, season number 1 because the disks were not in any order and to give them to my 84 year mother who loves the show and tell her that they aren't in order but go ahead and enjoy them, was not going to work...so I'm hoping I receive my money back because I have sent both complete sets back.
Two weeks without sleep.......2007-06-15
Never having seen the show on TV (I've lived in Jordan since before it came out) I was immediately hooked. Forget dinners, committments, and sleep.....you'll want to get right through the whole set. I found myself rushing home from work just to catch the next episodes, and suddenly realizing it was again 4 in the morning..... It also makes you wish our political parties--both of them--could check around and come up with candidates as good as these for the next elections! Not much chance, but this series at least lets us dream the dream.

Created before the days of computer animation, Dinosaurs is an early 1990s television comedy series featuring impressive anthropomorphic, animatronic creatures created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The story lines challenge some of society's most basic assumptions and explore some of the most universally troublesome aspects of "civilized" life. Set in six million three BC, the Sinclairs are your "typical" blue-collar dinosaur family attempting to adjust to the relatively new concept of communal living. The adjustments of moving from a nomadic lifestyle to one of domestication and social interaction are many, and challenging issues like the concepts of right and wrong, faith, and the intricacies of family relationships are forever besieging this every-man's family. Naturally, the Sinclair family approach is to address each obstacle with an abundance of slapstick comedy. The Dinosaurs episodes regularly function on dual levels: the puppetry and silly antics like Baby Sinclair's penchant for hitting her father over the head with a pan while hollering "Not the Mama" appeal to even the youngest children, but the often pointed social commentary and sometimes mature themes are squarely aimed at an adult audience. As a result, parental discretion and guidance are key in determining whether this series is appropriate for children under 9 or 10 years old. --Tami Horiuchi
Description
Meet the Sinclairs -- the funniest family in 60 million years! They're just your average family with one BIG difference. They're dinosaurs, living the good life in sixty million and three B.C.! Daddy Earl, his wife Fran, their kids Robbie, Charlene, and the Baby, and feisty Grandma Ethyl bring a hilarious Jurassic twist to daily life as they eat, drink, make merry, and get their kicks watching cavemen rub rocks together. Based on an idea by Jim Henson, the award-winning comedy series features state-of-the-art puppetry and audioanimatronics. For the first time, you can enjoy the complete first two seasons and rediscover the pre-hysterical fun all over again.

Dinosaurs - First and Second Seasons.......2007-07-05
My husband and grandson watch these DVDs ever night before going to bed and all they do is laugh themselves to sleep and talk about the shows that they saw the nigh before. It is a shame that we don't have any shows on TV like this one.
Excellent!.......2007-06-11
I was glad to see this underappreciated series finally make it to DVD. The Sinclair family tackle many contemporary family, societal, job, etc. problems in humerous and entertaining fashion in this very well done collection of the show's too-short run. Destined to be a true classic ala Rocky and Bullwinkle et al.
dinosaurs.......2007-06-08
I remember this show as a kid but since I've been watching it, the show isn't that funny as it was when I was a kid so I was kinda dissapointed.
good people .......2007-06-08
the video was just what I wanted, I will buy from them again.
Great show.......2007-06-08
I really enjoyed this show when it originally aired and it is great to be able to what it again.

Families and civilizations are, on the most fundamental level, built on relationships. The third and fourth (final) seasons of the 1991 television series Dinosaurs delve deeply into the relationships between the individual members of the Sinclair dinosaur family while simultaneously tackling huge societal issues like sexism, rising medical costs, the negative influence of television and advertising, environmentalism and conservationism, and the modern relevance of faith and ritual to everyday life with fervency and an abundance of slapstick humor. Parents can't help but relate to the extreme characterization of Baby Sinclair as completely possessed by evil upon entering his "Terrible Twos" and will laugh hysterically at Baby's response to the ineffective "solutions" of Dr. Piaget, the babysitter, and his parents. Teenage rebellion and the angst of growing up are just as outrageously satirized in episodes like "The Son Also Rises" and "Charlene's Flat World" and Dinosaur writers poke fun at the debate about the effects of television and advertising on young children and society in virtually every episode. The complex issue of conservationism becomes all too personal to Earl in "If You Were a Tree" when he and a tree inadvertantly switch bodies and environmentalism becomes an intergalactic issue in "We Are Not Alone." Bonus features include seven never-before-seen-on-television episodes that deal with everything from the rituals of growing up to family bonding and the perils of materialism; optional audio commentary for the "Nature Calls" and "Into the Woods" episodes; a look at the incredibly funny, self-absorbed character of Baby with writer Kirk Thatcher, executive producer Brian Henson, and actor/puppeteer Kevin Clash; and a discussion about some of the causes behind the Dinosaurs series and how the program's format made it possible to address such far-reaching issues. Because Dinosaurs functions on dual levels, appealing both to children with its silly puppet antics and adults with its pointed social commentary, some parental guidance may be in order for children under 9 years. --Tami Horiuchi
Description
They're huge. They're pre-hysterical. The Sinclairs are back in their final two seasons of Earth-shaking fun as they face the challenges of everyday life in sixty million and three BC. Baby turns two - and into a total terror. Daddy Earl confronts his "diaperphobia." Charlene's theory that the world is round lands her in scholastic hot water. Robbie deals with overwhelming pubescent urges, and in the final controversial episode, the family's jumpin' Jurassic lifestyle gets the big chill. The brainosauraus of Jim Henson, the award-winning comedy series brings state-of-the-art puppetry and audioanimatronics to the screen -- and a whole new meaning to the words "family fun." Add Seasons 3 and 4 to your collection of evolutionary entertainment - and get ready to rock your funny bones. Includes featurette "I'm the Baby, Gotta Love Me," with music video located at the end of episode five.

Dinosaurs Third and Fourth Seasons.......2007-07-05
I was so happy to find The Dinosaurs on DVD so that my grandson could enjoy the shows with his Grandfather. Being that my husband was a big fan of The Dinosaurs and never missed a show when it was on TV. I even forgot how funny the show was.
I love this show.......2007-06-19
I loved Dinosaurs when it was on TV but because they kept moving it around I don't think I ever saw the 3rd or 4th season.Boy what I missed and everyone else too.This show is fantastic and as someone said kids will like it and adults will like it even more.It makes comment on many of the controveries going on at the time and some that are still going on like environmental issues,prejudice, and it even had the audacity to comment on television.Whoa talk about biting the hand that feeds you,IT WAS TERRIFIC.Definitely see Changing Nature last.It is so sad it made me cry
Defective product, for now........2007-06-03
I have ordered this item and it proved to be defective. The replacement was also defective. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I intend to wait before ordering again to see if the problem with the four disc set will be resolved. For now, they won't play.
One of the Best Series Ever.......2007-05-23
Truly a great television series - with one of the best finales ever. It's great to see a show have a real finale.
The production values are great - it's almost as if each episode is like a mini-movie. Not just a basic television show with the same cheap set and cheap props.
5 Stars For "DINOSAURS" 0 Stars To The People In Charge Of Marketing This DVD Set.........2007-05-21
If you are in the mood for some good family fun with lots of laughs, excellent script writing and a baby Dino that steals the show then in my opinion you found it all here.. ""Just skip the "scrubs" advertisement i will explain that later"" This is a good clean show that the whole family can enjoy. The packaging is well done and the video quality and color is very nice . Now you may ask why the comment on the marketing well here's why. When we purchase any family dvd series ""and we have bought a lot of them"" with a G rating then i expect to get nothing but G rated but someone in marketing took a cheap shot by throwing a PG rated preview of the series "scrubs" in the mix. Here we were as a family watching the beginning of disc 1 that was playing the advertisements/previews of Disney's New animated DVD releases when suddenly up pops this "scrubs" preview with them talking about sex and other talk that's geared for an adult crowd. Frankly i did not even know at the time what "Scrubs" was about because i had never seen it before and did not know that its more of an adult/young adult type of comedy show. Well to say the least i did not appreciate that, and i do not appreciate the way they put in an adult type preview in my family oriented DVD purchase. If i wanted some adult theme comedy then i would buy it, but i don't want it, nor do i want to pay for this type of advertisement on my Dinosaurs DVD set. In my opinion its just plain wrong to put PG Rated advertisements on G rated Family DVD sets...

Robert Bolt's successful play was not considered a hot commercial property by Columbia Pictures--a period piece about a moral issue without a star, without even a love story. Perhaps that's why Columbia left director Fred Zinnemann alone to make A Man for All Seasons, as long as he stuck to a relatively small budget. The results took everyone by surprise, as the talky morality play became a box-office hit and collected the top Oscars for 1966. At the play's heart is the standoff between King Henry VIII (Robert Shaw, in young lion form) and Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield, in an Oscar-winning performance). Henry wants More's official approval of divorce, but More's strict ethical and religious code will not let him waffle. More's rectitude is a source of exasperation to Cardinal Wolsey (Orson Welles in a cameo), who chides, "If you could just see facts flat on without that horrible moral squint." Zinnemann's approach is all simplicity, and indeed the somewhat prosaic staging doesn't create a great deal of cinematic excitement. But the language is worth savoring, and the ethical politics are debated with all the calm and majesty of an absorbing chess game. --Robert Horton

A Classic.......2007-07-03
With all the junk movies out on the store shelves, I am always relieved and happy to see a classic film re-released on DVD. This is a superb film by any standard! Do yourself a favor and buy it.
What Happened to Product Discription?.......2007-07-02
Could someone who has actually bought, or at least seen this DVD, please explain WHY this is a "SPECIAL EDITION"? I have the first release of "A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS" on DVD, and was wondering what extra's THIS edition has and if it is worth re-buying. Or is there a "PLATINUM" or "COLLECTORS" or "KING HENRY THE 8TH Edition" coming soon? Thanks.
A Man for All Seasons.......2007-06-27
An outstanding adaptation of Robert Bolt's play by "High Noon" director Fred Zinnemann, "Seasons" revisits the ill-fated conflict between Henry VIII and More, building upon the film's central ethical issue: Whether the principled More will sacrifice his life in defense of moral truth. Scofield, in his very first role, won an Oscar for his shaded portrayal of More, Shaw is magnificent playing a fiery young Henry, and cameos by Orson Welles, Susannah York, and Leo McKern round out a sterling cast. A box-office smash in 1966, "Seasons" will resonate with anyone who's ever had a crisis of conscience.
Amazing!.......2007-06-17
If you want to see great acting, SEE THIS!
Still one of the greatest!.......2007-06-11
When I first saw the movie in 1967, I was riveted by the clear, crystalline dialogue of Robert Bolt, uttered with passion and precision by Paul Scofield. The clarity of thought, the elevation of principals above self is awe-inspiring. I rushed out to buy a copy of the script of the play to read the wonderful dialogue, full of bon mots and great ideas. Some of the lines have found a place on the wall of my office.
Whether one characterizes Thomas Moore as a saint, a statesman of unbending principals, or both, his strength of character, intellect, humanity and general goodness shine through with the brightness of a laser.

Six Feet Under The Complete Series Gift Set - TWO THUMBS UP!.......2007-06-27
I thought the entire package was just great! The stories were interesting and humerous and I loved the way the ending was written. You aren't left hanging, wondering, unfulfilled. The acting is superb and I am so glad that I can watch Six Feet Under anytime I want too. I was appreciative of the price - it was almost $200.00 less than on other sites.
Morbid curiosity.......2007-06-25
I'm writing this review in order to achieve closure following my immersion into the entertainment vortex known as Six Feet Under. This television experience is a 63 episode exercise in Morbid Curiosity. Each episode progressively illuminates and multiplies exponentially the dysfunctional personality characteristics of every major participant. Initially, the characters offered little attraction for me, but the intelligent script galvanized my interest and I was powerless to withstand the psychological chemotherapy that coursed through my psyche during each episode. Clever sidebar dramatized daydreams added comic relief and insight into the multitude of traumatized psyches. Individuals who choose to evade unpleasant facts or situations, controversial sexual topics and avant-garde discourse should avoid this mesmerizing series. Mentally unstable or depression-prone individuals will disintegrate rapidly if exposed to repeated viewings. This DVD series should be the dedicated visual textbook for "Understanding and Recovering from Death 101". Most individuals flee from the topic; I suggest that you succumb to this immunization and build strength for the day when Death in one form or another demands your attention. Perhaps the mentally stable individual next to you will ensure your psychological safety during your 63 episode exposure.
Maravillosa edición, una JOYA.......2007-06-21
Hi! "Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift Set" es una maravilla, una JOYA. Estoy encantado con la compra, la edición esta cuidada hasta el más minimo detalle. Aun no vi la serie, pero siendo de HBO con toda seguridad me gustará. La serie incluye audio y subtitulos en español, asi que ya no teneis excusa para no comprarla. Repito que es una maravilla, es una edición numerada como podreis observar en la foto que subí. ¿a qué esperais para comprarla? No os arrepentireis!
Gracias a amazon.com por el Gold-Box:Deal.
I'd rate it 10 if I could!.......2007-06-21
What a truly life-changing series! I didn't watch this on HBO but caught it on Bravo. My husband and I got so into the nuances of the Fisher family and their struggles, triumphs, life defining moments and everything in between that after season 2, we just bought the box set and watched it over 2 1/2 days! This included taking a day off work! I wouldn't recommend watching it in that short amount of time because we were so devastated by the ending that it was truly depressing. You don't just watch the show, you invest in it emotionally. You can't help it. The Fishers become your family. You root for them. You laugh with them. You cry with them. Lessons are learned for those who pay attention. I know it sounds crazy but I evaluated my life so much after that show that I changed professions into something I truly love. I was happy in my comfortable life but SFU really shows you that at the start of each episode, life is too short to not be happy or strive to be a more self accepting person. This show was by far the best show the grace the small screen. Beautifully written, impeccable casting, even the lighting is amazing. You will never regret owning this box set!
How Much Would You Pay..........2007-06-18
for the greatest television show of all time?
I'm going to stress to you right off the bat that for those of us who followed this show as it aired... we would have bought this set at five times the price. As I write I also find myself envying those of you who will get to experience all of it for the first time. Enough waxing nostalgic though. Let me just say get past the price (which is honestly a very good deal if you work it out), that's the last time I'll mention that.
Six Feet Under is about a family that owns a funeral home. Like all great things you can sum it up in a sentence, but the substance of it doesn't come across in less than... well in this case... about 62 hours. In the show we follow Nate, who fears death and hates funeral homes. David, who starts off as a self-hating gay man who may just want to stop being a funeral director. Claire, our rebellious young woman finishing high school. Ruth, the mother of the bunch... a highly neurotic and fickle woman... and everyone who comes in contact with the family during the course of their business.
I will say that though the show can hook you from the close of the first episode, the characters don't really feel completely fleshed out until about the fourth or fifth episode. Then again there are some shows that NEVER flesh out any characters.
You can trace the entire voyage of the show to Nate. It is about his fear of death, and the death business. It's about how he matures over the course of about six years... to me, all else is secondary. David's struggle with who he is, Claire trying to find herself, and Ruth attempting to find her place in the world now that her children are all grown up... all of those stories are brilliant as well, but they still mostly center on Nate.
This truly is the best show that has ever aired. The weakest season of it (four) is still better than everything else out there. You WILL be hooked from the first episode... and unlike so many other recent series finale's... you will not be left hanging, nor will you be disappointed.
I've not yet come across one human being who is not moved to tears at least a few times a season... and not yet met a person who hasn't sobbed at the end.
Television can be art, it can move you, it can challenge you and shake you up. It can change your life. The proof is in this package. Get it.

Northern Exposure - The Complete First Season
Whether it's a snowy nude sprint down Main Street, the mysterious appearance of a long-lost relative, or the improbable death of yet another of Maggie's boyfriends, life's never dull in the remote hamlet of Cicely, Alaska. Colorful characters and quirky plots propelled Northern Exposure into the hearts of millions of viewers, earning the CBS "dramedy" series seven Emmy awards between its 1990 debut and its demise six seasons later. In season 1, we meet Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), an urban New York yuppie who consents to four years of rural servitude after Alaska pays his medical-school tuition. Joel's fish-out-of-water adventures drive the show, but it's the quirky ensemble of characters--Chris, the DJ/philosopher (John Corbett), Holling, the bartender (John Cullum), Maurice, the town patriarch (Barry Corbin), Ed, the filmmaker (Darren E. Burrows), and Maggie, the bush pilot (Janine Turner), among others--that keeps the series consistently entertaining. The town develops its own offbeat personality as well, a Mayberry-meets-Twin-Peaks blend of Native mysticism, Aurora Borealis-induced dreams, unlikely tales of long-lost family members, and rumors of a Bigfoot-like creature known simply as "Adam." Northern Exposure provides a utopian escape--a place where life is interesting but never dangerous, everyone's insightful, the mystical becomes real, and nobody's burdened with a mundane 9-to-6 desk job. Cicely is a delightful place to visit, even if it's only for an hour at a time. A mid-season replacement, season 1 consists of just eight episodes on two DVDs. Each episode includes 5-10 minutes of outtakes and deleted scenes. --Shane Burnett
Northern Exposure - The Complete Second Season
The colorful cast of characters from Cicely, Alaska, returns for a new set of adventures in Northern Exposure: The Complete Second Season. While much of the first season was devoted to establishing the plot, each of the seven episodes in season 2 helps us to know the offbeat ensemble of Cicely residents a little better. Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), the New York urbanite stationed in small-town Alaska to pay off his medical-school tuition, still complains constantly about his assignment, but it's clear the town's growing on him when he passes up an opportunity to return home (if only temporarily). We learn from town patriarch Maurice (Barry Corbin) that retired astronauts have groupies, and when a beautiful woman steals the voice of DJ "Chris in the Morning" (John Corbett), it's no huge surprise when the long-deceased spirit of "One Who Waits" provides Chris with an ancient Indian cure.
But it's the chemistry between Joel and Maggie (Janine Turner) that really makes the series sizzle. The season is book-ended by a pair of breakups that leave first Joel, and then Maggie single, clearing the way for the romance to come in later seasons. The season includes "Spring Break," one of the best-loved episodes from the series. With the impending arrival of spring, libidos run amok, a wave of petty crime hits the town, and the men in town blow off steam au naturale in the annual "Running of the Bulls."
Season 2's packaging and extras are virtually identical to those from season 1. The two-disc set comes sheathed in a collectible mini zippered nylon "parka," and each episode includes deleted scenes and bloopers. There are no retrospectives or interviews with cast and crew, and no printed materials accompany the discs. --Shane Burnett

My Mom's Favorite Show.......2007-06-09
I got this dvd for my mom because I remember growing up it was her favorite show. This show is smart, engaging, and interest in the lives of the characters quickly engulf you. The premise of an isolated and remote town in Alaska actually ends up seeming pretty charming by the time you are done watching.
Northern Exposure Season 1 and 2 ROC!!!.......2007-06-08
I very much enjoyed seasons one and two of this series. I love the show and can only say after watching the entirety of both dvds....."that's all??" I am surprised there are only like 8 episodes for each season. I was hoping it would be like the third season where there are like 24 episodes. Oh well. It was an awesome dvd set. I highly recommend it!!
TV Complete Seasons 1 and 2 Northern Exposure.......2007-05-12
This TV show was so interesting, informative and entertaining. It was good then and is still relevant in our new millennium. Our family often watches 2 or 3 episodes instead of a movie. Try it...You'll like it!
