I Don't be.....Overused phrase? Ok, One foot in a great box set.

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant at messing with your emotions, it has everything.
Disadvantages: Not a single one.

...me Victor when I'm on the phone complaining again. One thing I can't complain about is this great box set. Comprising of the full series 1-6 and the Christmas specials plus a couple of special features titled, "Britain's Best Sitcom" and "The story of One Foot in the Grave", there's certainly plenty of viewing. 12 discs in the set with 6 episodes per disc running for 30 min approx. The Christmas specials are roughly 60 to 90 min in length and are ...
...& Annette Crosbie respectively as The embittered and grumpy Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering and surprisingly patient wife Margaret. The series follows Victor & Margaret through Victor's recent early retirement as a security guard replaced by his modern equivalent, an electronic security system. Or by, "A box" as Victor so eloquently puts it. We are taken through Victor's subsequent days on end trying to amuse himself and find things to do ...

Pink Flamingos

Advantages: DENNY CRANE! And the rest of the cast, the writing, direction
Disadvantages: Ludicrously funky themetune

►►► Yes, it’s Boston Legal, the giving James Spader the recognition he deserves, Modern America questioning, legal lawyer show with lawyers in it; from America. I’ve been wanting to write some new DVD reviews for a while, if only so I get to play around with those funky little arrows Christianfilmcritic gets, and I’ve chosen for my subject this, the latest TV offering from the maker of Ally McBeal, David E. Kelley. Set in the fictional ...
...to a law firm, obviously. Boston Legal is firmly comedic, although the humour always flows from the characters rather than crazy situations (although there is one hostage scene, played half seriously, but with a brilliant comic conclusion.) The character of Alan Shore is a brilliant one ► played to perfection by the Award-Winning James Spader. He is incredibly funny and witty, even though he can be a total bastard at times. Incredibly moral, ...

Review of Boston Legal - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Great Anime

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Special eps needed

The anime has a slightly diffrent story to it than the manga does but that does mean that it is watchable for those who have read the mangas like myself. Although I didn't like how the DVD set missed out some of the stories that you have to buy on special episodes and such, that made watching this quite hard when it skips out a huge chunk. You don't really notice the missing plot unless you have already read the manga though, so I would recommend ...
...also get the special episodes so they don't miss a huge chunk of the story out. Other than the missing part, the DVD and the anime itself is certainly worth buying and watching. I enjoyed this to the last episode, though the added features are nothing intresting, who watches them anyway, haha. ...

Review of Love Hina Box Set (Box Set) (DVD)

Last of the Golden Age

Advantages: Great stories , guest stars and a lot of special features
Disadvantages: Plastic head case

...much as I did. As the title suggests it all downhill from here. My only criticism is The Principal and the Pauper has a bit of a nonsensical plot but still manages to raise a few laughs and another clip show is a bit annoying however I do love a few of the musical numbers. The other episodes are all great. Personal favourites are Ralph's imaginary leprechaun in This Little Wiggy, The City of New York vs Homer Simpson and The Cartridge Family and ...

Review of The Simpsons - Series 9 - Complete (Limited Edition Head Packaging) (DVD)

Starts with proposal and ends with the wedding…

Advantages: Easy watching and funny
Disadvantages: Lack of Extras

This box set has 6 discs each containing four episodes. This is not like some of the other series where there are four episodes on one side and four on the other. The discs in this series 7 box set show the original TV broadcast episode on Side A and Side B shows the same episode but with 'never before seen footage'. There are not really any big differences but I did manage to spot the extra footage when watching these. I am not really sure why they ...
...this box set will probably only ever watch the extended versions. Series 7 starts from when Monica and Chandler have just got engaged and Monica accuses Rachel of stealing her thunder and she catches her kissing Ross. After this episode things move on to just general funny storylines. These are the ones with stories such as Phoebe trying to remember her grandma's secret cookie recipe, only for it to be one from the back of a nestle packet. Also ...
