Scarecrow & Mrs. King: The Complete Fourth Season

Scarecrow and Mrs. King
Yes, some would wonder why I rate Scarecrow and Mrs. King at five stars. True, some of the plots are a little corny and trite; true, the eighties-style wardrobe can get a little garish; true, some of the sets aren't the best; however, the acting and the dialogue amply make up for any trivial shortcomings antagonists of Scarecrow and Mrs. King can contrive. All of the main actors do a superb job in making a very simple and humorous story come to life. The interaction between Lee and Amanda particularly flares with delightful warmth of varying degrees. One of the most alluring aspects of the series is the development of their relationship. I have seen the first two seasons and find myself pleasantly addicted. The third and fourth seasons, though, I have yet to see. Naturally, my anticipation of their release on DVD is great, and I am issuing a plea to Warner Bros to release the remaining seasons as soon as possible.

DEAR WB - PLEASE RELEASE Seasons 3&4, ASAP!!!
Many of the Scarecrow & Mrs King (SMK) fans/lovers on the various internet forums (myself included) talk about their sadness & disappointment about the long waits in-between for the DVD releases of the 4 SMK Seasons. Please, WB, please do not make us wait another 2 years before Seasons 3 and 4 get released.

Hey, you can charge a bit more, I don't care. I'm willing to buy the remainder of the DVDs (Seasons 3 and 4) NOW!

So, please Warner Bros & the Powers-that-Be, please make those seasons available on DVD for us -- the sooner, the better.

Thanks & I also want to say thank you to Kate Jackson for Shoot The Moon Productions, for believing in such a great concept show as SMK (and for casting Bruce Boxleitner as Lee Stetson) -- what a talented cast of actors! I love you all!

PS: Amazon, please let the WB people know that we want Seasons 3 & 4 released on DVD, too.

Keep the seasons coming, please!!!
Keep the seasons coming, please!!! I have always loved this show! Lee & Amanda (Boxleitner & Jackson) are one of the best, if not THE BEST (my opinion), TV couples of all time. This TV show (Scarecrow and Mrs. King) is a great mix of adventure, intrigue, humor, romance & more. PLEASE release ALL seasons to DVD. I've got season 1 & can't wait to get my hands on the rest!!! This show is responsible for my teenage crush on Bruce Boxleitner (was 12 years old when it 1st aired on TV), which then led me on to being a big fan of Babylon 5 as well. Get seasons 2 through 4 out ASAP... We're (all the SMK fans) waiting, impatiently!!!

(3.5 Stars) "Shakugan no Shana S: OVA Series" features four episodes about how Shana has been affected by living among humans.
In 2002, Yashichiro Takahashi and illustrator Noizi Ito created the Japanese light novel series "Shana".

Published by ASCII Media Works from 2002 through 2011, the light novel series would receive two manga adaptations serialized in "Dengeki Daioh" and "Dengeki Maioh" and in 2005-2006, a PS2 and Nintendo DS video game and would also receive an anime series adaptation by J.C. Staff in 2007-2008 and a movie released in 2007.

A second season titled "Shakugan no Shana Second" was aired in 2007-2008, followed by a four-episode OVA in 2009-2010 and most recently, a third season titled "Shakugan no Shana Final" airing in 2011-2012.

With FUNimation releasing the first two seasons and the animated film on Blu-ray and DVD, the anime company released the four-episode OVA "Shakugan no Shana S: OVA Series" on Blu-ray in January 2013.

"Shakugan no Shana S" features four OVA's with individual storylines that were released four months apart.

True To The Spirit Of Season 2
Shana and Yuji have been through a lot together, but for some reason she is avoiding him. Wilhelmina also notices Shana's odd behavior. Wilhelmina and Yuji are determined to get to the bottom of it. They snoop around and try to get answers from friends, but everyone is in on it. Ogata, Yoshida, Tanaka, Sato, Marjorie, and even Ikei seem to be keeping Shana's secret. Wilhelmina and Yuji think something ig is about to happen, but they may be mistaken.

In another episode, Yuji finds a treasure that causes him to switch bodies with Shana. The 2 of them must find a way to switch bodies again before anyone notices. The treasure has a secret that would cause their body swap to become startling news if it was discovered. The last 2 episodes are a prequel to the first season. It covers a time when Shana was still taking the places of dead humans and had no social skills. They are actually a pretty touching little divergence.

This OVA was pretty much what I expected. These...

Anime was Good

The Bill Engvall Show: The Complete Second and Third Seasons

Loved this DVD set!
I can't believe this show was only on for three seasons, but I'm glad it was finally put on DVD.

WARM, FUNNY SHOW
It's a shame I only discovered this show after it had gone off air but I've
now seen and enjoyed all of the episodes. This somewhat reminded me
of 'Home Improvement' in that the laughs were plentiful, family based
and never slapstick. Bill Engvall is a very funny man and the rest of the
cast are uniformly excellent. This is the kind of family I think everyone
would like to be part of - and legendary Brian Doyle Murray (as the old,
irascible neighbour) and Tim Meadows (as Bill's best friend Paul) only
add to the quality. Fans of goo family comedy won't be disappointed.

FUN FAIMLY
I HAD NOT SEEN THE SHOW, BUT WAS ON JENNIFER LAWRENCE IMbD, (FILMOGRAPHY) SO OFF TO YOUTUBE , WHICH AFTER A SHORT TIME I ORDERED BOTH DVD'S AND REALLY ENJOYED. SHARING WITH FAMILY

Guns - The Evolution of Firearms - Blu-ray

Interesting but too American-centered
This program is well-made and quite interesting, particularly its five first episodes which cover the period through World War I. Unfortunately, the last two episodes which deal with World War II and the modern era are far too centered on American guns to the exclusion of almost all others. While it's understandable that, because of the ever expanding variety in types of guns, a progressively greater selection must be exercized to remain within the duration of the hourly episodes, this does not explain why precious minutes should be liberally expanded in the anecdotal description of the combat performance of certain weapons while other important types of guns are completely ignored. For example Episode 6 which covers World War II provides a (far too) lengthy description of the combat performance of the M-1 Garand, but does not even mention such ground-breaking weapons as the British Sten and German MP38/40 from which modern submachine guns are derived, or the the German Sturmgewher...

Great care was taken to keep the visuals authentic and accurate
There was a clear and consistent effort to be as accurate and authentic as possible in the creation of this DVD series. The historical recreations are intense, layered and detailed with great care in the special effects and historical truth and authenticity along with the powerful voice of narrator Coby Batty and other voice actors help to bring these stories of how firearms have been used and developed (thru use in war and the military) to life for a mass audience - from ancient chinese invention of gunpowder thru the middle ages and the new world, to the American Revolution onto the Civil War, WW1 and WW2... Vietnam era to the invention of the two biggest weapons of our day -- the AK-47 and the M-16... to today's War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Three historical experts comment during all 7 parts of the series.

History
What a quality Dvd information excellent product , love it thank you very much history a understatement there's everything here in the DVD and what a price wow !!!

RuPaul's All Star Drag Race Uncensored

BEST SHOW
I love this show. I gave it 5 stars because it never disappoints. Each episode is consistent in format but always surprising in content. I would recommend to any open-minded person looking for a great reality tv show to inspire and entertain them.

This isn't the LOGO version
Drag Race is always fun to watch. But be warned, it's profanity laced. There's no censoring like on the LOGO versions. It's full on Drag Race. The queens are so emotional. I cried a couple of times watching the series. And boy did I laugh a lot. Guest judges include Mary Wilson and Cheri Oteri. Kelly Osbourne stops by for a challenge too. It's all so much fun!

Eleganza Extravaganza
Some fierce queens. Rooting for Latrice Royale, Jujubee, and Manila Luzon. I wonder how Ru is going to decide amongst such polished incredible men/divas

Idiot Abroad: Series 3 [Blu-ray]

Great Show!
Warwick Davis is upbeat, sarcastic, and full of life. Carl Pilkington is a wet blanket. Put them together you have a snarky, understated, travel comedy featuring a veery unlikely pair who aren't even friends. I can't wait for more episodes. Also, if you like this watch Warwick Davis' Mockumentry (created by Ricky Gervais also) "Life's Too Short". I can't get enough of either of these shows!

Less A Journey, More A Brief Excursion
Another enjoyable, but too brief, turn at the 'Idiot' series. The twist, and you knew there had to be one, is that Karl is paired with a mate this time around.

To finish off the reported absolute final in the series, the intention was to go out with a bang. And to address that, our man had requested a traveling companion; obviously hoping that Rickey would join him in a not-so-subtle attempt to embarrass and humiliate his primary tormentor.

Cackling Gervais had other plans.

Bridging seasons two and three, Warwick Davis, the actor from 'Willow' and a host of other films, joins Karl on the Marco Polo Route. You might recall it was he whom Karl had called from the final scene in Season Two's finalé in China.

His reaction upon learning who would be accompanying him: "I don't know how it will work out, honestly. Edmund Hillary had that Tenzing fellow, Ben Fogle had James Cracknell. I've been given an Ewok." Incredibly, said right in front...

Another great effort
Pilkingtonian. If you're familiar with "The Ricky Gervais show" or previous seasons of An Idiot Abroad, you know what you're getting. Karl consistently blows my mind with his simple, yet often times insightful world view. Note that this season is shorter than the previous two (as is his traveling companion, Warrick Davis). Warrick's sunny demeanor only serves to show what a curmudgeon Captain BS is

The Men Who Built America [Blu-ray]

Enjoyable but some historical details are distorted
I generally enjoyed the show and how it ties together the stories of the various robber barons of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. But I was kind of irked at how some of the historical details were distorted. For instance, they got the whole Homestead strike/battle wrong. If you just watched the show you would think that the Pinkertons just walked up to the striking steelworkers at Homestead and opened fire. Historically, there was a battle in that the strikers themselves were armed too. The Pinkertons were trying to land in barges and were actually forced to surrender! Why change that? I don't think it was for any political/ideological reason that I could tell. But it's like they tried to simplify things so much that it actually distorts what happened. It makes me wonder what else in the series is not quite the way it happened. I realize in making a show about such a large topic that you can't throw in every detail but in trying to oversimplify it, it does a disservice to history...

The Men who built America
I was browsing the channels when I happened across "Men who built America" on the History channel and I figured it was just a documentary and to my surprise it is more like a mini-series with action and plots. I was entirely taken in with the story line and am I am buying the DVD to see the parts that I missed. Well worth the cost of the DVD

The Men who built America
This was an excellent program detailing not only the good, but the bad of the era. We forget what America was like in the late 1800's and how far we have come. Education like history never ends. When we fail to remember history, we certainly will fail again.
