Advantages: Heart warming and has something for everyone
Disadvantages: Repeated on Channel 4/E4 regularly

...of physical gags in "Earl" a lot of the laughs are from the sheer irreverant dialogue between Earl and Randy. Some of the storylines are completely outrageous but as the series moves on you can believe that nothing is beyond Earl, Randy and even Joy or Catalina (well before Earl discovered karma anyway.) To back up the A Grade gags are many physical jokes such as Randy's fear of birds - which leads to an incident with an ostrich, Kenny's 'not-at-all-gay' work colleague and the entirety of Joy's wedding to Darnell.

...the 'Boyhood Dream' and 'From The Vault' collections, what excited me most about the 'Shawn Michaels Story: Heartbreak & Triumph' set was due to the fact that it wouldn't be purely matches featured on the disks, or even simply interviews and commentaries by himself. Instead, in many ways, this 2007 DVD release would be a series of interviews and opinions from Shawn's peers and critics that would act as an extension to his autobiography from 2006, chronicling the life and times of a wrestler who had worked in many companies before his illustrious WWE run, including the now defunct World Class Championship Wrestling and the American Wrestling Association. WHY DID YOU BUY IT, I HEAR YOU CRY? Well, to put it simply, Shawn is my favourite wrestler of all time. I've loved and respected his work since I was six years old, in fact, the first ever...
