My Thoughts:
So far this is a good start to the fourth season. I am definitely enjoying it more then the previous season. We are starting to see some notable guest stars with this season. This disc alone has Traci Lords, Milla Jovavich and for the Playboy enthusiasts... Brandi Brandt. Glad to see the series is taking a turn for the better.... but I still wish we would see more/better extras. My favorite episode on this disc? I would have to go with the season opener, Hot off the Grill.

My Thoughts:
Over-all I enjoyed the episodes on this disc quite a bit. I am so glad to see this series come back to one I enjoy after such a sub-par 3rd season. I am still seeing some average filler episodes... but that is to be expected. My favorite episodes on this disc is the 2 part Christmas episode... It's a Bundyful Life which guest stars Sam Kinison as Al's guardian angel.

My Thoughts:
The episodes on this disc finishes off the 4th season. For the most part I enjoyed these episodes quite a bit. Though there is a couple here that I feel should have been better. My favorite episode on this disc has to be Rock and Roll Girl... I really got a kick out of Bud and Kelly trying to get on the music video. My least favorite on this disc is Yard Sale... I just found nothing funny in this episode. For the most part just found myself a bit on the bored side while trying to get through it. Usually studios try harder then this for the season finale. But over-all considering all the episodes on the disc I enjoyed it... was worth the time I put in to watch.

My Thoughts:
This is a series I never heard of before finding the DVD set cheap at Big Lots back in January. I have been watching an episode or two here and there since I got it... and finally finished the set this morning. It took longer then I expected considering there is only 8 half hour episodes in the season. The series aired on Showtime (originally on ITV2 in the UK)... but I somehow missed it at that time. I found it to be a fun and interesting series... but it isn't something I could sit through many episodes of at one time. I tend to get tired of watching after a couple of episodes. But over-all I enjoyed the series... and I am interested in getting more seasons. The odd thing is though... after checking Amazon.com I learn that seasons 1, 2 & 4 are available on DVD... but there is no sign of the 3rd season. I really liked the star of this series, Billie Piper, I found her to be just adorable. Unfortunately this is the only thing in my entire collection that I have her in.

My Thoughts:
This has been a very strong start to the season. I found I really enjoyed most the episodes. And it seems we are starting to see more and more notable guests come onto the show. Many recognizable faces. On this disc alone I spotted Pamela Anderson, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Tia Carrere and Filex Silla. Though Only was able to tell Felix from the credits since he was dressed as an alien. My favorite episode on this disc would have to be We'll Follow the Sun.

My Thoughts:
Felt like watching a little of this series. It's one of my favorite current series. Though the fourth isn't my favorite season... I still enjoy it. I never cared too much for the whole angel storyline of this season. Not that it is a bad storyline... just not as good as some of the previous stuff. My favorite episode on this disc is FAMILY REMAINS... which is a different kind of story for this series... as there is no supernatural creature involved. This time they go up against the horrors of man. A horror that can be scarier then any monster.

Quoting Addicted2DVD:

Quote:
What is it about the TV Show 24? Knowing that I will have season 8 in my collection here soon... a season I never got the chance to watch when it originally aired... I started to watch my season 7 set since I haven't had the chance to watch the DVDs. The plan was to put it into rotation with the other series I am watching now... watching a disc at a time... as well as watching other shows at the same time. But no... that don't work with 24...I just can't stop myself from watching it. I am now about to start disc 3 of the set. Seems like I will be going straight through this set without stopping.

Hehe, i dont know what it is, but i was exactly the same! Hehe, when i first started to watch the thing, i couldnt get my self to stop! But i guess the people behind 24 did something right then?

I finished watching The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. last week, having gotten it fairly cheap.  With a couple of episodes sinking to 3* and a few rising to 4*, it averages out at 3.5*.  Enjoyable enough, but not great.
