DVD Review: Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Volume 1 and 1970s Volume 1
Ahh, Saturday mornings. Time to grab some breakfast and plant yourself in front of the TV so that a variety of commercial sponsors can tell you what to want in between snippets of ridiculous animated stories frenetic enough to hold your minuscule attention span! Ok, I haven't always been this cynical, and it is that innocent youngster that lurks somewhere inside us all that these collections are made for. Most of these series are from before my time, but anyone who watched cartoon reruns as a kid will find something recognizable in these collections.

DVD Review: 24 Season 7
WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR??!?!
Fans had to wait a long time to see Season 7 of 24 due to the Writer's Strike of 2007/2008. Several promotions had already aired in the US and had indicated the dismantling of CTU, as well as the return of a key player to the 24 Universe, TONY ALMEDA! But wait… wasn't he dead? Well unfortunately for us, only a few of the 24 episodes had been filmed before the strike began and production had to be postponed. After the strike ended, producers at Fox decided to postpone the airing of Season 7 until early 2009… The Power That Be decided that 2009 was a bit too long to wait for new adventures of our hero and made a two hour TV movie called "24: Redemption" (aka Jack Bauer's Adventures in Africa!) to serve as a prequel to the upcoming season. Now that the new season of 24 has been aired in the US, Fox has released the complete 7th season set!
DVD Review: Forever Funny
Forever Funny is a new DVD collection featuring several classic sitcoms from the past.
It took a long time to sit down and watch seven of the "best" comedies starting from the tarnished golden years of the Honeymooners to the rainy day hijinxs of Dr. Frasier Crane and his Seattle crew. The episodes, which also include I Love Lucy (I didn't), The Odd Couple (not about Bush and Cheney), Taxi (a show you probably couldn't get on a rainy Friday night in the City), The Brady Bunch (a little like the Palin Family) and of course Cheers (a bar where everybody may know your name but not the location of the nearest A.A. meeting). All of these shows put the sit in sitcom.

Blu-ray Review: Dexter The Second Season
"There are moments when I feel the mask is slipping. "
Blu-ray Review: Saturday Night Fever
"You make it with some of these chicks, they think you gotta dance with them."
Saturday Night Fever was originally released in 1977. As I was a little kid at the time, and it was perceived as just some film about disco dancing, a pastime that was much-derided in my adolescence, I never got around to seeing it until now. That's kind of a shame really, as I might have really enjoyed it's themes as a teenager.
