CAMBRIDGE SPIES (reviewed by Adam Arseneau, overall score 72/100):
"Naked men and espionage: It's a winning combination."

CRANK YANKERS: SEASON ONE UNCENSORED (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall
score 88/100):
"Tasteless and cruel is still damn funny."

DOCTOR WHO: PYRAMIDS OF MARS (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 78/100):
"I am totally perplexed by this story, one of the most popular of all
Tom's adventures. I can see the ingredients for its popularity, but, for
me, they all fall flat."

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD (reviewed by Aaron Bossig,
overall score 95/100):
"In both stories, it's clear that the show is made by adults who have
spent their whole lives reading comics, and who realize how fortunate
they are to be able to bring their beloved characters to the screen.
Justice League isn't a show born out of focus groups and hack writers,
designed only to sell action figures: It's a show made for people who
love superheroes, from any era."

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES: THE FULL BOUQUET (reviewed by Paul Corupe,
overall score 87/100):
"While many beloved Britcom characters are truly arrogant, none have
surpassed the mind-boggling pretentiousness of Keeping Up Appearances's
Hyacinth Bucket, perhaps the most ludicrous aristocratic sycophant ever
seen on the small screen."

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON (reviewed by
Lacey Worrell, overall score 80/100):
"Because later seasons featured a young Shannen Dougherty and countless
other superfluous characters that were merely a product of Michael
Landon's imagination, this is the last good season of the Little House
on the Prairie television show."

MAD TV: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by David Ryan, overall
score 88/100):
"Sketches rarely run longer than three minutes, which is plenty of time
to hammer home the comedy of the premise, but not enough time to let
things drift into the danger zone. It also makes the show pretty snappy
-- things move along quickly, and you never feel trapped inside a bad
sketch. (I'm looking at you again, SNL...)"

POPULAR MECHANICS FOR KIDS: RIP-ROARING ROLLER COASTERS AND ALL ACCESS
TO FUN (reviewed by Lacey Worrell, overall score 85/100):
"Out of all the Popular Mechanics for Kids DVDs I've viewed, this one
has the most commercial feel, which kids may love, but for which parents
may feel some disdain."

POPULAR MECHANICS FOR KIDS: SUPER SEA CREATURES AND AWESOME OCEAN
ADVENTURES (reviewed by Lacey Worrell, overall score 85/100):
"When the hosts are described as 'fearless,' this is not an
understatement. These kids not only narrate each segment with the
ease and confidence of professionals, they are unafraid to leap into
the water with sharks, scuba dive, or snorkel in what looks to be
frigid water."

PUNK'D: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (reviewed by Lacey Worrell, overall
score 65/100):
"From planning to implementation, the viewer is left with an
appreciation for how necessary it is to pay attention to detail and
timing if the stunts are to be successfully pulled off."

STAR TREK: VOYAGER, SEASON FOUR (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall
score 85/100):
"In a dynamic that would mirror the overuse of Data in The Next
Generation, Seven become the stimulus for Voyager. Not only was she
positively drop-dead gorgeous, but she was also the irritant needed to
bring tension back to the ship."

TAXI: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by Neil Dorsett, overall
score 93/100):
"I sometimes find Taxi more enjoyable when I'm not actually looking at
it, although of course if I do that I miss all those patented Judd
Hirsch surprise takes. What does all this mean? Nothing. Never mind."

21 JUMP STREET: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by David Johnson,
overall score 83/100):
"There must be an infinite number of schools in Jump Street's
jurisdiction for the same four kids to go undercover and not be spotted.
You would think word would spread about a new police initiative placing
young-looking narcs in schools."

WHAT'S NEW, SCOOBY-DOO?: MERRY SCARY HOLIDAY (VOLUME 4) (reviewed by
Lacey Worrell, overall score 85/100):
"The evil snowman in the opening episode, although far too scary for
children under the age of five, is a terrific creation, reminiscent
of the Chucky doll from the Child's Play movies. If there isn't
already an officially designated snowman phobia, this episode may
just inspire one."

WILDBOYZ: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (reviewed by David Johnson, overall
score 89/100):
"Each episode finds our intrepid explorers placing themselves in harm's
way, for little reason other than to impress the audience. Hey, I'm fine
with that. Watching Pontius sneaking up on a jaguar to pet him (?!) or
snagging a cookie from a deadly rattlesnake is good watchin' despite the
utter pointlessness of it."

WILL AND GRACE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON (reviewed by Elizabeth
Skipper, overall score 94/100):
"The biggest complaint I've heard about Will & Grace is that it's
not 'gay' enough. And, sure, Will almost never dates and same-sex
intimacy is rare, but if words were actions, W&G would be more
flaming than Queer as Folk. They may not show much homosexuality, but
they sure know how to write one-liners about it."
