Murphy Brown: The Complete First Season (1988) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this DVD set on the day of it's release in Feb. 2005 and I'm still waiting for Season 2! We had to wait 3 years between releases of seasons 1 and 2 of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" now MTM is being released a season every 6 months! Like FOX who released a deluxe 1st season set of MTM, I'm sure WB expected much more sales of the "Murphy Brown" 1st season and it failed to life up to studio expectations! FOX found a cost effective way to release all the seasons of MTM and satisify all of us loyal fans! I think WB needs to follow the example of FOX and other studios who release complete series sets on DVD of marginal shows! Complete episodes on DVD with no extras is better than nothing and those of us who care to complete our collection can do so! I was very pleased with the DVD set of MB and I noticed a few technical glitches that other viewers have commented on in other reviews but, overall this is a nice presentation of a brilliant, clever, funny, well written, well acted, sitcoms in TV history! Warner Bros. please commit and release the remaining seasons of Murphy Brown on DVD and preserve this classic for all us fans!

The Unit: The Complete Second Season (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The second season of The Unit continues to impress while unfortunately suffering from many of the same flaws that hurt the first season. Overall, the acting is better than the writing. Dialogue isn't so much a problem as consistent plotting; the interactions of the wives back home continues to be a weak aspect of the show, as it is essentially a "desperate housewives-lite." Some might say that this aspect of military life is as significant as the combat in the field, and they'd be undoubtedly correct. However, in the show, it comes across as a poor attempt to lure in a female viewing base.
The second major issue for the show is that California doubles for every foreign location in the show, and doesn't do a very good job of it. In fact, the re-use of the same exterior's is even more visible in this season. It never fully ruins the show, but does serve as a constant reminder of the show's budget limitations.
Still, the show is highly entertaining, and with more gun battles, more interesting episode premises, and actors that have completely inhabited their roles. Overall, a great show that stays great.
