    Samsung LN40B550 : any experience?

    I've owned one for about a month now and can't say enough good things about it. I looked at many other brands but I kept coming back to the Samsung. I don't own a bluray player yet, but standard dvd's look excellent upconverted. Basic cable looks pretty good to pretty crappy depending on the...

    How to balance TV show watching?

    I tried the rotation thing and it didn't work for me. It seemed to take forever to get through a set. With my crazy schedule it works out much better if I stay focused on one set a a time. I also think the show has more of an impact if you watch multiple episodes/multiple nights, but maybe that...

    Where's Dragnet '68-70? Universal..WAKE UP!!!

    I really love Dragnet and Adam 12. Haven't bought either of them,mainly because I already have a glut of tv series to catch up on. Now I really have reservations on buying either if Universal seems to be uncommited to releasing more seasons. If I'm going to invest, I want the whole series, not...

    The Untouchables:S1 in 2007

    This is great news. Probably my most wanted TV series. I haven't seen this show since it was on cable late 70's/early 80's. Does anyone know how many seasons the show ran?

    Worst use of CGI in a movie?

    The worst I can recall is League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Not sure which was worse, the movie or the CGI. I also thought the animals in Jumanji were bad, but i thought it may be somewhat intentional as some of the other CGI effects are very good. Also, if you need convicing that lower budget...

    Do you purchase classic TV on DVD shows for your kids to enjoy?

    I don't buy tv shows for my son to watch as he is only two, but I hope he will watch them when he is old enough to appreciate them. By the time he is old enough, shows like Seinfeld, Buffy, etc. will probably no longer be in syndication, and shows like Smallville, 24, Nip Tuck, etc. will have...

    Problem with JVC television

    Gregg,thanks for you response. I did make sure that the switches are in the correct position, I had it happen before where I thought it wasn't working but the switches were not positioned correctly. I have checked and re-checked, the switches are both in the correct spot(to the left, on tv and...

    Problem with JVC television

    I have a JVC 32" television, model AV-32230 that I have had for about five years. The service menu can be accessed by pushing the sleep timer and video status buttons simultaneously on the remote. By going into the service menu you can change the aspect ratio to 16x9 to allow anamorphic...

    Can't Get Million Dollar Baby to Load in DVD Profiler!

    If you don't have the latest version,(2.4) which was released about a month ago, it won't update anything added since the new version, which means any new release. If you download the latest version it should remedy itself.

    Classic TV And The Top 100 Shows

    Bewitched is #8 and Seinfeld #19? While I agree that the top 100 shows listed for the most part are the top 100, but lets be real, I'm sure no one has ever discussed an episode of Bewitched at the water cooler.

    Carlito's Way Ultimate Edition 09/20/05

    I love this movie and I bought the CE when it came out. There isn't a chance in hell I would "upgrade" for the extras that are listed. If they expect people to double or triple dip they need to do better than that.

    The Asphalt Jungle DVD question

    Just watched this last night (great movie). I checked out the introduction too, my dvd did exactly the same thing, unless there was a bad batch it must be the original soundtrack was damaged
