Summer of '82

Awesome Family Show
This classic TV show with hippie turned yuppie parents raising three unique children is always entertaining and sends out great messages, too. This is where Michael J Fox got his start as the intelligent and snobbish teen Alex P. Keaton who always schemes to get the girl, but supports his family bottom line. Mallory the oldest sister, strives for popularity, but her lack of confidence undermines her efforts at times. Younger sister, Jennifer, a sports enthusiast, always has a sarcastic comment to add. The shows great writing never failed to keep me laughing, and the show was something the family could watch together. Yes, it is dated, but it is 30 years old. If you loved the Keaton's back "in the day", you will surely love them still.

Ahh, the 80's!
I really miss this kind of programming. There's a story, a lesson, love and humor. I feel like the Keatons are old friends.

Great 80's Family Show
It is a great starter to one of the most popular show in the 80's on NBC with the Keaton's.

Fiesta Bowl Game [HD]

Great Game except Oregon wasn't in it
Oregon was in the Fiesta Bowl which was also a great game. You can go to YouTube and probably find a good copy of both games to watch.

I have plenty of bandwidth--no HD
Amazon doesn't have proper streaming capacity--and it almost seems content dependent. I almost never get this in "HD." Even though I have plenty of bandwidth--just tested it, over 30 down, 4 up.

Really irks me to pay for the HD version and never get it. Seems worse on the weekend. This is NOT an issue with my connection--note the speedtest from above.

Perfect
Found this while I was looking for a dvd of 2013 BCS Championship game. Can't wait till they get this years games out. Well worth the money.

Diana: A Life Through A Lens

Jane Fincher - Nothing But Professional
As the only woman in the official Royal Press Pack, Jane had to work twice as hard to get “The shot” through her camera lens. She is not paparazzi; that I cannot stress enough, in fact she established a close working rapport w/ both The Prince and Princess of Wales.

There are pictures not seen for years; and some never before published. This is an honest, dignified retrospective of probably the most famous woman in the world, no snaps taken from behind the bushes.

I highly recommend this to anyone who would like a fresh prospective on the life of The Princess of Wales; you will not be disappointed.

Diana
Very interesting. It was worth the money and the time I spent watching it. I would recommend it to any "angelo-fan".

A Different Perspective
I love anything "Diana" and this was a nice perspective from a photographer's point of view. I really enjoyed it and loved seeing her again.

Charmed Noir

Is Season 7 Heaven for Charmed Fans?
Season 7 is a very interesting year for the world of Charmed. When it is bad, it is REALLY bad but when it is good, it is REALLY good. It really is a hit or miss situation.

The best episodes would have to be the ones near the end of the season but there are also some spread out through the season. Some of the best: Something Wicca This Way Goes, Witchness Protection, Charmed Noir, The Seven Year Witch, Srcy Hard and Death Becomes Them.

The worst episodes: A Call To Arms, The Bare Witch Project, and Once In A Blue Moon.

The Complete Rundown:

1. A Call To Arms - When Piper and Leo attend a Hindu wedding, they become possessed by Hindu gods. This episode is alright, but doesn't seem strong enough to be a season opener.

2. The Bare Witch Project - A student at magic school accidently conjures Lady Godiva, and the sisters must help return her to her time so she can finish her ride. Slightly better than the premiere but still doesn't...

An outstanding season!
I've read some negative reviews of Season 7, but I have to say it's one of my favorites. After a lot of lighter, more comedic episodes in seasons 5 and 6, Season 7 returned the series to the darker glory days of seasons 3 and 4. I loved the story arcs in the season, and the writing and direction were dead on.

Season 7 picks up where season 6 ended; adult Chris is dead and Leo can't stop grieving and move on. As his marriage to Piper continues to fall apart he is courted (in rather strange fashion) by Avatars (we saw them in Season 5 in the episode "Sam I Am," where Paige is reunited with her real father, Sam)to change the world and end the struggle between good and evil. Woven into this storyline are Paige's romance with the Avatar-obsessed Agent Brody (Kerr Smith) and Phoebe's romance with Les (Nick Lachey) and her sabbatical to find herself. The Avatar story only lasted half the season but segued nicely into the rise of Zankou. As Zankour terrorizes the sisters...

Season seven is back on track
The best thing about Charmed was that it was pure entertainment involving both drama and comedy, with the balance between the two depending on the theme of each individual episode. It wasn't supposed to show Wicca in a good light or a bad light or even a remotely correct light - it was just a clever metaphor for the relationship between the sisters, which was the real point of the series. It was supposed to be sappy and corny at times. It was supposed to be like a soap opera. I never loved Rose McGowan as Paige, but, to be truthful, I never liked Shannon Dougherty as Prue that much either. I always enjoyed watching until Billie joined in the last season. How could it be that a witch, not related to the Charmed Ones, is more powerful than they? If so, why were they even called the Charmed Ones in the first place? That is why this seventh season should have been the final one. I thought that the plots in season eight were at times more powerful and clever than season seven, but Billie's...

Alex Doesn't Live Here Anymore (2)

Great Send-off for a Classic
I was so glad when Paramount/CBS decided to finally put out the rest of this series. This was my favorite show during the 1980's. As a teen I had a crush on Mallory/Justine Bateman. I even got to go to a taping while serving in the Army in California. In fact I still have the autographed T-shirt (signed by everybody) that I won for singing the theme song at the taping. I jumped right to the last episode when my DVD set came in the mail and let me tell you that you will not be disappointed. From what I can tell this is the original episode and not a cut down version. Paramount/CBS did the fans right on this one. The final curtain call is included at the end of the episode. I don't think it was included in the re-runs nor is it in the netflix streaming version of the episode. I emailed CBS years ago when they first started releasing the show on DVD and ask that they include the curtain call on the DVD if they ever put out the final season and it looks like someone actually paid...

Saying good-bye to the Keaton family!
Finally, I own all seven seasons!
Having waited and waited to buy the sixth and seventh seasons of Family Ties, I was finally able to get Season 6 in April and Season 7 in August. Of course, I watched all the episodes of Season 7 in rapid succession, and I enjoyed most of them very much. I think that Gary Goldberg realized in Season 7 what he didn't quite get in Season 6...that the members of this family are all older now and that their concerns can't be the same as they were when the show started years before. Of course, the humor and the irrepressible Alex P. Keaton are essential, but the shows deal with serious themes as well. Steven's heart attack is a three-episode event that doesn't leave much room for humor, and the theme of racism is tackled when Steven's black co-worker and his family move into the Keatons' neighborhood. In the final episodes, Alex is off to his dream job in NYC, and the other Keaton children aren't far behind in leaving the nest (with the...

At last
It was great to finally see the last season released on DVD after a long wait. Overall I liked the DVD set in that the picture and audio quality for all of the episodes were very good. I believe this last season was recorded in stereo (new to TV broadcasts in 1988-89), and it appears they preserved the audio track. It was also great seeing the final episode uncut instead of divided into two parts like it was for syndication, and I especially liked seeing the cast come out and take their final bows as I saw back in May 1989 when it first aired.

The only disappointments I have with this last season is that there weren't any extras included. It would've been nice to hear some thoughts from the cast & crew about that final season and how they came to the decision to end the show at that point. Particularly since creator Gary David Goldberg has passed away and sadly will no longer be able to share any more stories about this show.

Still, though, it's nice to have the...

William Boeing [HD]

Odd but interesting
As a member of the Steinway family, I found this film utterly fascinating. The combination of talking heads, actors, and footage was unique, certainly.

Pioneers Turned Millionaires
Interesting stories, but not as polished as the History Channel's The Men Who Built America series. Still a good watch.
