Quoting Addicted2DVD:

Quote:
To be honest.... while I did still enjoy it... season 8 wasn't a favorite season of mine. It took way too long for me to get used to the new characters. By the time I did get used to them... the series was over.

I see, thanks for the headsup! I'll see what happens after October But i really enjoyed the season 1 - 7 tho! But i heard so much about the last episode(s) about the show. So i cant wait. But from next week on, Bones, etc starts on tv again! Ahh

My Thoughts:
I was feeling a little nostalgic last night... so I popped in the first disc of Plastic Man. It is the latest addition I made to my collection of childhood favorites. Going into it I was a little nervous about how well it would hold up almost 35 years later. While it didn't hold up as well as I would have liked it to... I was still able to enjoy it somewhat for what it is. A superhero show that is nothing more then mindless and silly. Not something I feel comfortable recommending... especially to new viewers over the age of 5 or 6. This is a show I had fond memories of over the years. And while I am not sorry I added it to my collection... I do wish it held up better. This is a set I will watch a few episodes of now and then. Not a set that I will anxious to finish watching.

Call the Midwife is not my usual TV series fare or purchase, and I bypassed it when first saw it offered on DVD. But with it's rave reviews and bypassing Downton Abbey, which I enjoyed, I decided to give it a look. And I'm glad I did. I watched all six episodes of the first season, one after the other breaking only for a snack and coffee. I was totally hooked.  It is about an occupation most and myself are not familiar at least in this age and area. I certainty will be on the watch for more episodes. In IMHO it will be a classic.

From the the overview:
Call the Midwife is a moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true-to-life look at the exhilarating stories of a midwife in poverty-stricken East London in the late 1950s, based on Jennifer Worth's best-selling memoirs.

(Jennifer Worth (1935-2011) died just before the start of its filming)

Jenny Lee knows nothing about hardship, poverty, or, indeed, life itself. Direct from nursing school, Jenny joins an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House and a team of midwives providing the poorest women in London with the best possible care. The life that greets Jenny is a world away from what she's used to. The streets teem with children - families of between six and ten children are commonplace - and with just one eight-bed maternity ward to serve the whole district, most deliveries take place at home. The drama follows Jenny as she meets her patients for the first time - women like Conchita, who is on her 25th pregnancy, and Mary, a prostitute, pregnant and just 15 years old - all while hiding her own secret past.

Call the Midwife is a fascinating portrayal of birth, life, and death in a community on the brink of huge social change, offering a gripping insight into a world that is so drastically different from how we live now.

Six untitled episodes,
Region 1,
Aspect ratio 16:9 enhanced,
Total running time: 354 minutes,

My Thoughts:
I just finished this first disc of the first season. I have been a fan of this series since the pilot originally aired. It is a lot of fun.. has many laugh out loud moments. The show has a good cast... I like both Mike and Molly a lot... but I must admit that Molly's sister Victoria is always good for some laughs. Really most of the characters on this show is good for some laughs. Well I never cared much for Vince (Joyce's boyfriend)... but he hasn't showed up yet. Sure he will at some point on the next disc. anyway... if you never seen this show before... it is one I would recommend checking out.

My Thoughts:
I finished off the first disc of the complete series set I got today. This is a series I always enjoyed watching in my childhood... but I haven't watched the series in years. This series aired at the same time as the similar series Bewitched... so obviously most people compare the two series. While I personally liked both series... I personally preferred Bewitched over this. Though this is nothing more then great entertainment that is a lot of fun to watch as well. And I think most guys would agree... Barbara Eden looked wonderful in this series. The one drawback to this complete series set I have is that instead of giving us season 1 of the original B&W they opted to give us the colorized version instead. This surprised me... I would think the majority of people willing to buy the entire series at one time like this would be true fans of the show... and would prefer the original B&W episodes. One of my favorite things about this show is how they play with Dr. Bellows... driving him completely crazy.

Another thing I noticed is that there is 3 different openings of this series. The original opening that was little more then a recap of the first episode.... the first animated opening with Jeannie... and then starting in the second season the second and most well known animated opening with both Jeannie and Major Nelson. surprisingly after 8 episodes into the season we are still seeing the original recap opening. I would have thought by now that i would have gotten to the first animated opening. Another thing I thought I would have seen by now is Tony's friend Roger finding out about Jeannie. I thought that happened very early into the first season... I know it is the first season... but guess it was closer to the middle or end of the season.

Anyway... I really enjoyed watching the first disc of this set... and can't wait to continue revisiting the entire series again. Definitely a classic sitcom... recommended!

Audio: Dansk: Dolby Digital: 5.1

Sofie Gråbøl


Plot:
I en tid preget av terrorisme blir en kvinnelig advokat funnet brutalt myrdet i det nasjonale minnesmerket Mindelunden. Ektemannen pågripes kort tid etter, innsmurt i blod. En opplagt sak, tenker man, men det er noe som ikke stemmer. Politikvinnen Sara Lund (Sofie Gråbøl) hentes motvillig inn fra sitt eksil som grensevakt for å løse saken. Jakten på gjerningsmannen skal vise seg å bli en heseblesende thriller som involverer både politiet, regjeringen og forsvaret, hvor tre vidt forskjellige individer får avgjørende innflytelse på hverandres liv. Den ene er den nyutnevnte justisministeren Thomas Buch, den andre en fengslet soldat og familiefar ved navn Jens Raben - den tredje er Sara Lund.

Advokatdrapet viser seg å være det første i en rekke, og alle ofrene har på en eller annen måte tilknytning til de danske styrkene. Mye tyder på at drapsmannen eller -mennene jobber ut fra en liste, men hvilke navn inneholder den? Og hvem er det neste offeret? Gjennom de ti episodene som utgjør den andre sesongen av Forbrytelsen blir vi med på en forrykende morderjakt gjennom en militærforlegning, Afghanistan og maktens innerste korridorer.

My Thoughts:
So, i was able to borrow season 2 of "Forbrytelsen" and with how things ended in the first season i was real looking forward to check this one out. And it starts out right of the bat (ofc) This season is a bit different then the first one, a very very different case. And Sarah Lund (the lead detective) is very changed aswell. And i have to say that i really liked what they have done with both the case this time around aswell, and with whats happening in the series aswell. And yet again, with all the twists and turns, and didnt have a clue really on what was really going on before the last episode (again!) wich is a good thing IMO. A great series, a great season 2 with a very interesting story aswell. With great character developement aswell. And i have to say great job really well done. And with how things ended in this season, i cant wait to see what they have in store for us in season 3! Again highly recommanded tv-show to check out!

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the entire first season of this show with Brittany. I have seen this show a few times before... though not in several years. But it is the first time Britt has seen it. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a lot of fun. A lot of entertaining dark humor. We have fun guessing on how some of the deaths would occur.  As I type this we have already started the second season. Brittany really likes the gravelings.... she said they are like cute little puppy-dogs of death. If by chance this is a show you never seen before both Britt and I would recommend this one.
