tv on dvd

This is one of the cleverest uses of DVD I’ve ever seen.

So you’re loving the new ‘Doctor Who,’ and you want to catch up with some of the old stuff. Where do you even start?

Anime fans seem to think this 1908s TV series is a classic, and they’re welcome to it.

I’m not sure that I was expecting anything from ‘Cranford’ other than the usual twee pleasures of British costume drama, which are, for me, quite delightful indeed…

Picking right up from the Japanese anime of the 60s and 70s, it eschews the unintentional goofy charm of the original and instead goes right for the intentionally dumb…

This horrendous early 70s throwback — and really, in this case, “early 70s” means “longing for the 50s” — is being marketed as some sort of hip retro cool thing…

Really quite unbelievably dull… and mysteriously unfeminist, too.

I haven’t seen these movies since they first aired, and it was a delight to catch up with the Franciscos — the alien Tenctonese immigrants to Los Angeles — and human Detective Matt Sikes…

It’s sort of shocking to see how aggressively this manic Comedy Central animated series ridicules the Bush adminstration and its foibles… if you can stand to stomach calling warmongering, the embracing of torture, and the denial of evolution ‘foibles.’
