My Thoughts:
Again another great season! (Almost perfect) Getting closer. Alot of great stuff happening again trough out the season. We are learning more about the characters this season. And "finally" Ross and Rachel! And we got some big names visiting aswell. Julia Roberts, "Mr.Magnum, Tom Selleck" George Clooney! To name a few. Alot of great moments here aswell that i forgot all about! Its nice to catch up on the old seasons again. To see how things have changed, and see everything you've forget aswell. Looking forward to season 3! Hopefully i got some time next week. Money well spent so far IMO.

My Rating:
5/6

Title: Everwood: The Complete First Season
IMDb |Wikipedia |Trailer |
As a world-class neurosurgeon, Dr. Andrew Brown is a hero. As a father, he's a zero. But that is changing. Tragedy makes him a single parent to his two children. And as the first act of his new life, Andy leaves Manhattan and moves his family to Everwood, the tiny Colorado town where big dreams can grow.

The relationship between Andy and his talented but resentful 15-year-old son Ephram forms the heart of these 23 first-season episodes of Everwood, the acclaimed, richly layered series created by Greg Berlanti. Treat Williams plays Andy, learning parenting on the fly as he raises Ephram (Gregory Smith) and 9-year-old Delia (Vivien Cardone). Unafraid to tackle big issues, spiked with sharp humor and filled with engaging characters, Everwood is a place and a series that rewards each visit you make.

My Thoughts:
I just finished off the complete first season. Normally a drama series is not my type of thing. But in the case of Everwood I was hooked from the pilot episode... and I remained hooked through-out the entire season. I found this series to just be simply amazing. I liked all the character and the storyline advanced in a way that made you want to hurry and watch the next episode. And all I can say is WOW! on how the season ended... I so can't wait to continue on to the second season! This is one series I can't recommend high enough! This makes two drama series in a row that I fell in love with. My tastes must be maturing with age.

My Thoughts:
I just finished the second season this evening. Series is running strong. This season they get away from the "freak of the week" type stories and we start to see continuing arcs. This season Whitley is gone... freeing Lana up for Clark to chase after. In the first several seasons Clark gets one new power per season. The first season he got his X-Ray Vision... this season he got his Heat Vision... which I must say was a fun episode when he got that one! Early on in this season Clark tells his best friend Pete his secret. We also see the first of the Red Kryptonite in this season. As well as the introduction to the caves where Clark reads about himself in the Native American drawings. And finally... This season ends in a heck of a cliffhanger. I had a lot of fun re-watching this season... and looking forward to starting the third season!

Out of a Possible 5

I recently viewed two crime/drama series distributed by Mhz Networks Home Entertainment,
one French, Frank Riva, 6 episodes and the other Italian The Inspector Vivaldi Mysteries, 8 episodes. The episodes each average about 95 minutes, 2 episodes per disc.

Frank Riva
Alain Delon stars as Frank Riva, an ex-undercover cop called in from retirement after 25 years of exile to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder of his brother, also a cop, in a drug sting operation, involving the notorious Loggia crime family, who had put a bounty on his head during the French Connection days. Frank has to pick up the pieces of a life he left behind a quarter of a century ago: his old flame Catherine, Nina Rizzi, the daughter he never knew, and Xavier Unger former partner, now chief of the Paris police. He must also put together a new team to confront the Loggia gang: Superintendent Lydie Herzog, his superior, the headstrong Captain Hervé Sebastian, and rookie computer whiz Juliette Janssen. Frank Riva is a police officer who follows his instinct and refuses to be deflected from his mission, a man who ignores social convention and flouts rules and regulations, and who lives according to his own deep conviction of right and wrong.

The Inspector Vivaldi Mysteries
This series, set in the northeastern Italian city of Trieste, is divided into two parts, My Son, two episodes (2004) where Inspector Vivaldi, an old-school cop, discovers his son is gay and must learn to deal with it. The remaining six episodes resume five years later, (2009). His son, Stefano, is also a cop, and father and son make a good team solving crimes together. Each has different strengths: Federico's a veteran investigator with finely honed instincts, while Stefano takes a more rational approach using the latest forensic tools. Together, they investigate cases ranging from insurance fraud to murder and human trafficking. Along with these cases is a challenging case that runs through entire series involving the murder of a math professor who had been solving some equations linked to the long-ago kidnapping and murder of a young woman. Federico's best friend and former colleague are called in as a suspect in this same cold case, it seems as if his world has turned inside out. Federico keeps holding on to the dream of winning back his ex-wife, Laura. During their separation, they've continued to communicate and stand together as parents. When they learn of Stefan's homosexuality, they each strengthen their relationship with the son they are proud of and love dearly.

For me both series have the one case that runs through the entire series with enough twists, turns, challenges and surprises to peak my interest through out their entire length. I rate both series a 4 of 5.

Title: The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Sixth Season
Wikipedia |IMDb |Trailer |
Whether on or above Earth, hilarity is outrageously universal in TV's most popular comedy featuring four forward-thinking but socially backward geniuses. Fun discoveries multiply: Leonard learns jealousy is bad for a relationship (with Penny) but science is good for seduction (of Penny). Howard finds life in the International Space Station is no escape from terrestrial turmoil between his overbearing mom and his new wife Bernadette. Raj meets someone special who may be a good match, if only he can keep her from fleeing mid-date. Even Sheldon learns a few things: a) what not to say when called in to meet the university's employee's relations director, b) what happens to childhood TV idols and c) that a Dungeons & Dragons adventure can be the icebreaker his relationship with Amy needs. For those who need laughter with scientific regularity, this 2-disc, 24-episode Season Six set of The Big Bang Theory will rock your cosmos.

My Thoughts:
Well that is it. I already finished watching this set. Another great season filled with laugh out loud moments. I really couldn't suggest this series high enough. I feel safe in saying this show is my favorite current sitcom... if not my all-time favorite sitcom. I always find it so easy to watch this show. No matter how long ago I seen the episode before. Matter of fact (while I am not going to do it... I could easily start at season 1 again now.... and re-watch all 6 seasons again. This season while probably not my favorite season... is definitely up there... a must see!

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

That old nostalgia feeling recently hit. I wanted to watch a classic sitcom. So I just finished off the first season of The Brady Bunch. This first season is from 1969... the year I was born. The odd thing with me and this series... I never cared much for it when I was a kid... but I quite enjoy it now. This is definitely the opposite of how most people feel about this series. I can't explain it... just a weird fact.

At this time I still feel that nostalgic yearning to watch a classic sitcom... so I will continue on to season 2. But I am not sure if I will watch the entire series or not. It all depends if that mood switches to something else before then.

Well I just finished off the complete series set of The Brady Bunch... including all 5 seasons of the series as well as the two reunion movies that is included in the set.
