    "The Mary Tyler Moore Show Season 2" -- A Personal Review

    I bought the 1st season the day it came out and loved it. I bought the 2nd season when it came out and loved it too. Okay, I wish the packaging for all seasons could be the same, but I buy them for the shows...my god, these shows are good. Is there a sitcom on the air now that comes close to...

    Gunsmoke and Car 54 Where Are You?

    Sunday's USA Weekend magazine (insert in Sunday papers) had an ad on the back cover for the new Columbia House TV on DVD Club. One of the titles listed as available was Gunsmoke and in small print it said "Season One Five Pack." Don't ask me what this means, but it sounds encouraging.

    QT Talks "Kill Bill" dvd

    Great movie--far more interesting than I expected. The anime and black and white sequences seemed perfectly natural to me. I can't imagine the film without those effects. I'm afraid I'll buy it on DVD any way/ways it comes out. I'm ready, so ready, for Volume 2.

    How are the Dick Van Dyke sets?

    I bought these two sets Tuesday and was through with them Thursday including special features. These are magnificent sets. I was slightly disappointed with the commentaries but they were kinda fun. The big features (to me) are the unseen pilot on Season 1 and the game show on Season 2. Never in...

    Encourage People To Buy MTM Season 1

    Actually the MTM set is a much better deal than the first season of All in the Family. I just compared them on Amazon (chosen at random). AITF: 13 episodes for $36. MTM: 24 episodes for $43. And throw in a decent documentary and some comentaries. Well worth $7 more. Granted, the 2nd...

    HTF REVIEW: "Family Guy" Volume One

    Newhart also did a parody of the Dallas ending. If memory serves, it was the final episode of Newhart (with Mary Frann as his wife) and it ended with Suzanne Pleshette (Newhart's wife from the earlier The Bob Newhart Show) waking and hearing the shower running, thus turning the later series all...

    HTF REVIEW: "All In The Family" The Complete Second Season (with screenshots)

    Good review as always. This season aired during my first year away from college and as I remember, hard as this may be to believe, there were only 3 tv sets on campus, so you couldn't always see what you wanted. I'm using this as an excuse for several of these episodes (unlike season 1) being...

    FINE T.V. MOVIES Not yet on DVD...

    I would second (or third) The Day After, Special Bulletin, and Helter Skelter. How has this thread gone 3 pages with no mention of the all-time greatest tv movie, Duel? I'd promise to buy two copies to get it released.

    Best Buy's Fox Demo Disc #2

    I bought the McCartney CD, McCartney DVD, and the Dylan CD-none Fox titles. I bought a Demo Disc for a penny, asked if I could buy more. The girl said I could buy them all. Second one rang up free--I guess because I bought the Fox disc (Demo Disc).

    HTF REVIEW: "Back To The Future Trilogy" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    Much as I despise shopping between Thanksgiving and Xmas, I will have to venture out for this one. Great review AGAIN, Ron. We do appreciate the effort. And thanks to Universal for sending a screener.

    Merged Thread: DVD Release of Married...With Children, Sanford and Son , All in the Family & etc

    Agree this is great news, except that MWC thing. I'm thinking there'll still be season sets, but there are a whole lotta people not wanting to commit several hundred $$$ to any one series. Those Best of Friends discs still seem to be selling... And Carl, boycotting all their tv product won't...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Sports Night: The Complete Series" (with screenshots)

    I picked up this set today at Best Buy, matching Target's $39.95 price. I'd never seen an episode, but I'm halfway through the 2nd disc and already have gotten my money's worth. How can television this good only last two years??? Extras would be nice, but this is still a great set.

    Here we come...Monkees Season 1 DVD Box Set

    A must-must-must have. I'm beyond ready. My question is will it have the musical sequences for later singles that replaced the originals in the reruns as bonus material?

    General Mills DVDs have started to appear...

    Asked at my usual grocery store this morning and the manager said that to get this promotion, huge quantities had to be ordered, so they wouldn't be getting any. I'm thinking Wal-Mart's looking good for these. Today's newspapers also have an ad for them with a coupon for $1.00 off 2 boxes...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming" (with screenshots)

    I agree 100%! This is a great film and it looks like MGM has done a really nice job with it. I'd also like to recommend (GASP) reading the book. It is one of the few novels I have found to be laugh-out-loud funny. Thanks for bringing this little film to the attention of the members of HTF.

    24: Rent or buy?

    Obviously it's not something you'll watch a hundred times--it's 22 hours long!!! However, at this length, if you watch it 3 times, that's like watching one movie 39 times. I say buy it. I did, without having seen an episode and I'm really glad I got it.
