Why is it people can’t leave well enough alone??? Netflix was one of the best services (for any industry around) but they decided to work in collusion with Warner Home Video to fuck over their customers. Last week while I was at CES the crappiest deal in history became official. Netflix will now delay all […]

DVD News: Flashforward Coming in February Volume 1
I don’t know how I feel about these half-assed dvd releases where instead of giving us one Complete set, we now have to purchase 1/2 a season at a time. I purchased part 1 to Glee, knowing full well I’ll have to purchase the 2nd arc in July. The folks behind ABC’s Flashforward are going […]
TVonDVD: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Complete Series Rocks!
In 2002, there a second attempt to bring He-Man TV success on an animated series that took the toys and the original ‘80s animated series and re-imagined them in a major way. Where the original series was more or less a series of standalone episodes, the 2002 version came up with a satisfying origin […]
TVonDVD: Life On Mars: Series 2 – Coma Boy, Time Traveller or Nutter?
When Manchester Detective Chief Inspector Sam Tyler [John Simm] woke up after being struck by a car in 2006, he found himself in the Manchester of 1973, newly assigned to that year’s version of his old station – and bumped down in rank to Detective Inspector. Worse, in the old school world of 1973, his […]
TVonDVD – Murdoch Mysteries: Season One – British Cozy Meets Forensics in Canada!
Based on a series of novels by Maureen Jennings, the Canadian Murdoch Mysteries is a delightful mix of several types of classic styles – the British cozy, Sherlock Holmes and forensics shows like CSI. Set in Victorian era Toronto, the series mixes historical fact with dramatic – and occasionally, whimsical – fiction. The series, which […]
TVonDVD: Farscape: The Complete Series Megaset – They Breathe FIRE??? How Come No One Told Me They Breathe FIRE???
I have loved many TV programs in many genres, but there only a handful I’d want on a desert island: The Twilight Zone, Star Trek: The Original Series; Babylon 5; Firefly, and Farscape. Of the five, Farscape is easily the strangest, most totally wacked out – and therefore, the most fun. Over its four season […]
TVonDVD: The Tudors: The Complete Third Season: Uncut Edition – Historical Fact; Devious Politics; Colorful Soap Opera!
One of Showtime’s most twisted programs is The Tudors, a historical soap opera that features even more twists and turns than a season of Dexter. That these twists and turns are, by and large, a matter of historical fact, dos not make them any less surprising [unless, of course, you’re an English History major]. The […]

TV On DVD: Legend of the Seeker Season 1
Legend of the Seeker (LOS) is one of those boats that I missed the first time around. I mean it’s on Syndicated television and these days it’s not so easy to find syndicated programming. Whenever I turn on DC20, DC’s local indie station, the only thing on are bad tv movies on the weekend. I […]
