A Galactic Goodnight

Little Einsteins Rocks!
It's hard not to like a show that teaches youngsters through classical music. My daughter loves watching a handful of episodes, among them the Dragon Kite and Christmas wish. Repeat viewing gets tiresome with other programs, but I feel like I'm learning something new along with her. It's amazing watching a 2 year old yelling "Crescendo" along with the characters. Recommend it highly.

Educational and fun
My son just turned 2 and loves Little Einsteins. He requests to watch the "rocket ship" over and over. I love that he getting a little education too.

These are great!
My daughter loves Little Einsteins! I like that they expose kids to music and art and do it in a way that is fun and interesting. Since I'm not musically inclined, my daughter and I get to learn about music and notes together, which is great. I highly recommend this series!

Hot Mess It Up [HD]

Like it
Like watching it. It's most of the time clear, but sometimes it can get staticky if your not in a good Internet connection, but overall, it was great and fun to watch!

Pre-Tweener Heaven
If you have a dance crazed child, ours is a 7 year old girl, then this series will be your child's video "drug" of choice. For the most part it is harmless fun, but, in true Disney fashion, Disney cannot help but throw in some crude lines from time to time. We are a bit prudish in our house, so you may not even notice the crudity. Anyway, big recommendation for the right crowd.
(As an adult, it is not too annoying, until the 3rd episode in a row is played, at which time it becomes fingernails on the ol' chalkboard.)

5 year old gift
My daughter has not stopped watching it since she received it on her bday. It really keeps her attention and I love that!

New Years Eve

Funny, clever, beautifully shot
Louie CK is the best comic working today and his one-man show (he writes, directs and stars in it) just keeps getting better. Great guest turns by Melissa Leo and Parker Posey and writing that is sharp and poignant without veering into sentimentality. Each episode is like a self-contained short narrative film, beautifully shot and scored with a jazz soundtrack, Louie's not afraid to take risks with his writing and his casting and delivers something unexpected each week. Highly recommended.

Not for everybody but I *really* appreciate it
I look forward to each new episode in Season 3. Part of what I like about this show is how it balances Louis as a really sincere and loving father (even when he is giving his kids the finger behind their backs when they p*** him off) with his no-holds-barred adult life, filled with odd people who often have bizarre sexual tastes. Some of the later episodes are playing less for laughs and more for very intimate portrayals of the complexities of true intimacy with another person and the sometimes-very-thin wall it shares with perversity. The two episodes showing him meeting and going on a date with the marvelous Parker Posey were beautifully rendered (she should get some sort of big old prize for the way she transformed her role in a special way I know I've never before seen on a small screen). My wife is not a fan at ALL: he curses around his kids (they take no offense and hardly seem to notice) and some of the almost-always-sexual situations are over the top, but hey this is Louis...

The Real Deal
I know that "Louie" is billed as a comedy, and that some people may be turned off on some of his episodes because they don't make you bust a gut laughing every second of every minute. As a viewer, though, you need to keep in mind that this is as close as anyone is going to get to a "stream of consciousness" from a comedian.

The very nature of a comedian's talent is to take the slices of life we all endure, and then distill the essence of the experience so that we can then identify with it and laugh at it as a shared experience. That's what comedy is -- laughing at our shared experiences -- and that's what makes Louie CK so funny: he does this (seemingly) like second nature.

It's not second nature though, because to be genuine, the distillation process must come from real, dark and sometimes sad experiences and memories. I, for one, am glad to know that Louis CK is out there, and am in constant awe of the way he can show us both sides of the coin -- both the...

Teddy's Little Helper

Great Family Show
My kids love watching this show (6, 4, and 2 years old). The show is funny and entertaining for kids and adults. When my 2 year old hears the opening music he comes running in the room and sits on the couch to watch "Charlie"...and he sits quietly for the whole ~22 minute episode. We get to watch a funny show that the whole family enjoys and my 2 year old sits quietly!!! I couldn't ask for much more.

7 year old daughter loves this show!
My 7 year old daugher loves this sitcom...even my husband and I like it. It's not just for the kids, we can all relate to some aspects. Some of the content is above the 7 year old's head, but that's what makes it fun for the parents. Cute show.

awsome
I am 68 but I really like Good Luck Charlie. I think it's an excellent family program.I watch it often and hope it's on for a long time

Waltons: The Complete Sixth Season

Love this growing up
With the shows today I fined it very hard to have a show I can watch with my kids. I almost have all of them. And the kids love them.

Classic Waltons
I don't think there is a Season of the Waltons I do not enjoy. Season six was no exception, I love th eway the family lives and works, grows together through good times and bad, and all of that during the Depression.

slumber party ANTics

Favorite pick for the kids right now.
Chyna McClain is on top of her game. She is picking up where Hana Montana left off. Talented voice & funny too. The co stars are also pretty funny. This is made for the kids but its entertaining enough for the whole family to watch. I 'd reccomend it.

Mob Wives Chicago: Season 1

Really?
This was SOOO stupid - and I bought the whole season - it was boring .. hopefully there will be no season 2! I liked the original Mob Wives but this one was lame!

Unwatchable
The original Mob Wives was interesting. This offshoot is nothing but contrived drivel. I've grown up in Chicago, and sure there's a lot of mob history, but it's exactly that: history. I don't know what barrel they scraped these women off the bottom of. The mob doesn't exist in Chicago any more, so these women and their alleged mob ties are ridiculous.

Love it!!
Since I'm a faithful watcher of Mob Wives, I thought I'd give Mob Wives Chicago a go. Being from Chicago myself, I never really knew the Mob was in my own city. I'm kinda sad that there's only one season of MWC. There won't be a second one. :(

Zombies [HD]

love the show
great show i hope season 3 will be coming on i didnt even know of this show untill i found it by mistake looking to buy comics on amazon.

So much fun!!!
Anyone whose a fan of Kevin Smith should own this! I'm not that big of a comic book fan, but after a friend of mine was featured on the show, my husband and I have been hooked. It's hysterically funny and a great show!

Best show for grown up boys!
Comic Book Men contains non-stop laughter, comic book/items education, and a whole lot more. I am never disappointed with Comic Book Men.

Appropriate Adult Part 2

First-rate film!
Just as I despair of ever again putting my mind to a film which is anything other than hopelessly derivative, all of a sudden up pops a film which made me sit straight in my chair for two hours without budging. The film, as it turns out, is a British made-for-TV movie which premiered in England in September of 2011.

"Appropriate Adult" recounts the true story of Frederick and Rosemary West, husband and wife serial killers from Gloucester, England, who tortured and killed at least eleven girls and young women between the late 1960's - 1980's.

I am not a fan of fiction as a rule, and even less so of murder mysteries. They have never been able to hold my interest. Real life stories do possess a little more appeal, but I am, at this age, averse to viewing any more explicit gore, car chases, and endless police procedures and courtroom melodrama. In real life I listen to my better half recite stories from her daily grind in the criminal justice system -- and it is...

Too 'nice', Dominic West too sexy, but still compelling
I can vaguely remember the headlines in the 1990s about what was found in Gloucester, and have to admit that this series spurred me to learn more. Psychopathic would not even begin to describe what went on the the Cromwell Road house while the Wests lived there. I don't think that their story should be glamorized. Dominic West is a superb actor, and very charismatic and sexy. Fred West was mentally at a level far below what Dominic West portrays, and had his own 'trademark' tendencies which helped the police know which killings he was involved with. He and his wife were sexual sadists in their own home. Apparently he also made videotapes of himself committing horrendous acts, even on his own children. None of this is mentioned in this series.
We feel sympathy for him in the movie, which I feel is inappropriate if you look at the materials that finally led to his arrest. Even wild animals do not usually sexually prey upon their own children and in most cases do not murder...

Gold 'n' Gloves [HD]

Good show.
To start off, It says in the opening credits that Allan & Ton buy hundreds of Storage units a year, and these Stories(Episodes) represent the best of them. As a avid "Picker" myself, I can attest to the fact that sometimes, out the hundreds of things I find & buy, there a some that blow my mind. Things that I bought for $2-$5 that sell for $200-$300+. And on average, most items I buy & then sell, cost around 10% of the final sale price. This is consistent with these episodes. So anyone saying that these episodes are "Staged" IMHO, has no experience doing anything even close to what is represented here. The deals are out there, waiting to be found.

I do wish they would get more into the "other" side of these auctions though. Like how much it costs them to make dump runs on the junk, and maybe even show the day to day selling of the smaller items they always include in the final profit.

That said, I love watching Auction Hunters for the informative information...

The best in the Business
These two have rare chemistry and it is always entertaining
they are not predictable and have good sense for humor

Just too fake
It's well known now that the storage units in these sort of shows are staged with great finds, and not reality. I only purchased this video because it was related to my job and I was curious. They all play out the same, so save your money and watch a random episode on TV.

Waltons: The Complete Fourth Season

4th Season Waltons
Any DVD of the Walton Series is a big hit. We watched them as my children were growing up and now we are purchasing them for the grandchildren because their parents liked them so much and because there is nothing worth watching on television these days for Familys to watch together. The same goes for Little House Series. Thank you to those who have decided to put these series out for us to be able to see again and again. Amazon always comes through when it comes to these series.

Walton's
I have ordered and received within a week of ordering all nine complete seasons of the Walton's. I have only gotten to review the first five seasons at this point because there are so many. There are at least five disks in each season. I just started season six. I am enjoying them tremendously. I loved the show on TV and I am enjoying everyone I have viewed so far. I purchased all nine from various sellers and very pleased with all of them. So far they are all great and in great condition. When I complete viewing the rest of the seasons, six through nine, I will complete the review those also. At this point in time I am completely satisfied with what I have watched. They were all received within a week of ordering. Thank you so much for all the enjoyment and great service Amazon sellers.

waltons fourth season complete
these are not for me but for my grandson, he and his mom watch it together.will get more. and they were deliver guickly.

It Is What It Is [HD]

Stop being pretentious
This family is happy and supportive of one another. Its obvious they deeply care for each other and are looking out for their best interests. No, they aren't living in LA arguing over which fall fashion line to buy and that is no reason to tear them to shreds. They have limited means but they make the most of it and know how to have fun. Its a different subculture than what you are used to seeing on tv but get over it. Highly entertaining, and Im constantly laughing. Makes for good tv.

Funny Stereotypes
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I ended up laughing at this stereotype of uneducated unwholesome family life in the fry-daddy rural south. I felt more ashamed of myself with each episode I watched. But it sure was funny and if the series was mean spirited in concept the Honey Boo Boo clan diffused it and disarmed it with their willingness to laugh at themselves. They embrace their lifestyle. They love each other. In the end I had to wonder who's zoomin' who. In a clear and mean attempt to poke fun, it was clearly the Boo Boo family who was laughing last and loudest.

I'm surprised. I absolutely expected to hate this show.
My guess is TLC thought they hit the Redneck jackpot with this family and planned to exploit them for fun and profit. They've got extreme couponing, the Redneck games, the teenage, unmarried pregnancy, obesity, toddler pageants, roadkill bbq, and a couple other negative American stereotypes thrown in for fun. They're probably kicking themselves that they couldn't manage hoarding. (I mean TLC is more carnival side-show than learning channel anymore). I think it backfired on them when the family didn't turn out to be a bunch of fist fighting, bitter and angry Rednecks on food stamps who were paranoid over the government. Instead they got a family that loved and supported each other.

While I think the entire pageant system is a huge scam and detrimental to the self-esteem of young girls (and boys), Alana seems to think they're fun. Her family has a much healthier attitude towards her participation than most pageant parents as in, it's great if she wins but they don't punish...

Finale

Best Season Yet
More about camaraderie and great cooking than the usual throwing one another under the bus b.s. It was a real treat.

Continued Success
This season follows the others with another challenging and interesting group of chefs and dishes. Found it entertaining and will enjoy viewing it again!

Entertaining Cooking Show
It is fun to watch the best of the best, and there is great camaraderie among the contestants. Worth the price.

Episode 307

this is fun to watch
I enjoyed it. I still wonder if some of the situations are designed for the show, i suppose they are.
But still fun to watch. I'd watch more of it.

Horrible
I couldn't sit through one episode. Don't bother even trying to watch this "show" or you'll just wonder where your time went.

I did not purchase this dvd because you do not sell it
why isn't the above dvd operation repo allowed to be sold to public? you have it but only to watch
it on computer, kindle etc. This seems to be very popular, I wanted it for my grandson. ebay sells
it between 15.00 and 20.00 dollars, it is shipped from Australia, freight charges run about 20.00
dollars so total is about 40.00 dollars. WHY???????????????/

Bikini Bust

Fun show that appeals to many different people
Bar Rescue is a series that currently is running on Spike. The basic premise for the series has Jon Taffer, a bar consultant, helping failing bars improve to avoid closing for good. This typically involves repairing worn or out of date design schemes and revamping bar food and drink menus (and teach bartenders the basics in a lot of cases).

This series has a lot in common with shows like "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Restaurant Impossible": Taffer comes in and gives the owner a necessary kick in the butt. I will say that he is good at what he does. If bar owners are receptive to his advice, sales and earnings typically show big improvements. He also seems like he really wants the featured bar owners to succeed.

This is a great show for marathon viewings, which Spike typically has when new episodes are premiering. A few weeks ago me, my girlfriend, and her younger brother and father all spent our Sunday afternoon vegging out with this series. Can't wait until...

Entertaining and informative
Jon Taffer knows his stuff! The shows are fun to watch and insightful into the bar and restaurant business. The business makeovers are inspiring.

If you are a bar owner, watch and learn. If you are a bar patron, enjoy observing business situations similar to your favorite watering holes.

Taffer knows what he is doing
Bar Rescue is a great business makeover show because Taffer knows what makes businesses work, and understands how they can fail. This episode is the best example of how "wanting to own my own bar" and actually being successful are two different things -- just because you like pirates doesn't mean everyone else does, and it certainly doesn't mean you can make money off of it. And thats what business are supposed to do - make money. Deny that and you're an idiot or delusional, or both.

Tutera knows his stuff
First season is great I am going to have to get the others, the weddings are amazing. The point where he starts from with the basic ideal the bride's have is light years away from the final product. He and his team are warm and engaging, and each wedding is customized to who the bride and groom really are, but in an elegant manner.

well worth buying
Can't recommend seasons 1-4 enough--lots to learn, a serious but light-hearted approach, uplifting, creative. Each wedding is completely different and creative. You can get lots of ideas or just escape and dream. Season 5 is totally different--skip it.

Kricket, "Merlot Bride"

I love this show
Anything pertaining to David Tutera is awesome! He is the wedding planner I aspire to become (one day) and I love the creative ideas he gives to improve his brides.

Beautiful!!
If you like a bling and diamond theme wedding this is the one to watch. Love David! So Genuine and sweet!

Mumber bride so fantastic
I grew up near phildadelphia and watched the Mummers parade every year til i was 19 years old. This wedding fitted the spirit of the Mummers perfectly and captured the spirit of Mummers totally but it didn't overshadow the wedding and the beautiful tradition they chose. Watching the whole wedding come together is so fantastic and with each wedding i watch i feel priviledged in getting to know each couple and watching their day unfold. Thank you DAVID!!!!!

Doctor Who in America

Too little science.. or maybe too much
The Science of Doctor Who
I picked this up to watch ahead of the new season of Doctor Who. I should have simply watched "The Wedding of River Song" again instead.

Each segment of the documentary style program focuses on one piece of classic Who lore (like the TARDIS, sonic screwdriver, or even Regeneration.)

The segments all start with clips from the current run of Doctor Who (no older clips, sadly), along with a short description - and then follows an often tedious attempt to translate the item into our technology, followed by a discussion which ends with a guess of how soon we'll have something that looks a Sonic Screwdriver.. sorta.. if you squint.

Really, I'm not sure what I was expecting - but this somehow felt both light on science content, and long on science-like discusion.

Dr. Who?
Never fails to interest me. The new doctor is a different kind of man, yet he manages to interest me again and again!

Fun and Interesting
It's been awhile since I watched this but I remember it being as I said in the title fun and interesting. Actually, all the videos that were included with this on the specials were very enjoyable to watch.

Wild Goose System - Dayan Palm Form

A Super Powerful Form!
I have been doing Dayan Palm for less than a week and already love it. In my 18 years of martial arts experience, I can not recall many forms this dynamic. I can feel the power and energy in every movement. On this DVD, Shane Lear performs both a slower, more qigong style version as well as a full-speed, martial version of the form. The movements are explained in a manner that is easy to follow along with and learn from at your own pace. This DVD is a necessity for those looking to make their training more well-rounded.
