Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl - they have all used their unique powers to fight evil across the galaxy. These 7 super heroes unite to become the Justice League. These 26 adventures feature battles with favorite villains like Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage and sorceress Morgan Le Fey. Acts of justice include saving Aquaman from a coup and clearing Green Lantern's name in a charge of genocide. From the smash hit TV series, these triumphant tales of teamwork will enthrall and inspire!

My Thoughts:
Over the last 2 days I watched the entire first season of Justice League: Season 1... which I borrowed from my daughter's collection. Despite the fact that Wonder Woman can fly like Superman... which I don't care for (that is not the Wonder Woman I grew up knowing about)... I really enjoyed this animated series. So much so that I actually hated when the season was over. Especially since the first season is all Britt has in her collection. This is one show I would really like to get the complete series set of.

My Thoughts:
I watched this entire season over the last couple days. I enjoyed every minute of it. I liked the new look they gave Sarah Chalke's character... though I do usually prefer longer hair on girls this new haircut looked good on her. I also thought they went in a good direction with her character as well. There is a nice selection of extras in this set which is always a fun thing. Hopefully I will be able to add the next season before too long.

Both of his neighbors inhaled the poison used during the fumigation.

My Thoughts:
Now you know I couldn't go too long after getting the season five set without watching the first disc. This is more like it... I still enjoy these characters more then I do on CSI: NY. All the episodes on this disc was good... though I think I liked the first one the best.

My Thoughts:
While I liked the episodes of Batman Beyond that spawned this series... I must admit I really wasn't sure that the character could pull off his own series. But it turns out I enjoyed it more then I thought I would so I am glad I decided to pick up this set. This series only lasted 2 seasons... unfortunately the second season was never released on DVD.

My Thoughts:
I finished off this season set last night. And must say I enjoyed it all very much. As I said... I didn't think that the character could pull off his own series. I was happy to see that in one episode of this disc that Batman showed up. I wish he would have shown up a little more. Maybe he did in season 2. Which unfortunately isn't on DVD. And with this set coming out 2 years ago... I doubt we will see season 2 released.

My Thoughts:
Just finished the second disc of season 5. I am still enjoying every minute of this series... which I think is very cool considering this is the 5th season. I had to laugh at the first episode on this disc. An episode where a group of neighbors have a swinger party once a month. It seems they wanted to have a little fun with this... and named the neighbors after classic sitcom families. First there was Brady (The Brady Bunch of course)... then there was Cunningham (Happy Days)... and then it was topped off with Keaton (Family Ties). So yes... I did get a kick out of that.

the last episode on this disc (CH-CH-CHANGES) is the 100th episode of the series. I notice that usually shows go all out to try to bring you a special episode for their 100th.  In this case it was good... I did enjoy it... but I didn't see nothing special about it. I don't know... maybe it is because I am enjoying this series so much that I expected a little more then I should have from it. But over all... I continue to enjoy every episode.

My Thoughts:
I just finished the first disc of this classic sitcom. When I ordered this set I was a little worried about how well it would hold up for me. But there was no need to worry. I enjoyed every second of watching this disc. There was several moments that I literally laughed out loud watching.  Matter of fact... Brittany watched a couple episodes with me... and she got laughing so hard at it that I literally had to pause the DVD just so she could calm down and catch her breath.  I was also concerned on how well the audio/video quality would be on this set. Even though there was some particles and a scratch here and there in some episodes... over all I was really impressed with the quality. I had a lot of fun getting re-acquainted with this series and look forward to watching the next 4 discs full of episodes.

My Thoughts:
This is a series I bought blind after hearing about our good friend Roger enjoying his copy. Watching the first couple episodes I must admit that I was a little disappointed. But by the third episode I found myself getting into it a bit more. By the end of this first disc I felt I enjoy it enough to look forward to watching the rest of the set. I wouldn't say it is my favorite sitcom... but it definitely has it's moments. Enough of them that at this point if they were to release the rest of the series... I would buy them. So I am definitely not sorry I picked this set up.

My Thoughts:
I got this set in the mail yesterday afternoon... and I already finished the entire season set! I don't know what it is about this series. It really is pretty silly... but for some reason I really get a kick out of it. And for some reason... once I start watching a set I have a hard time stopping until I finish it. I also gotten the season 5 set yesterday... and I now have a strong urge to watch that one as well.

My Thoughts:
Went ahead and watched Season 5 over the last couple days. While I still enjoyed it very much... this wasn't a favorite season of mine. I don't know why... I guess it seems the quality of the episodes went down just a hair. Looks like this is the beginning of the end... even though they must have tried to keep it around as long as possible. After this season there was one more full season... followed by 3 much shorter seasons. I definitely want to keep collecting at this point. Matter of fact... I would like to get the next season as soon as possible... what with the way this season ended I definitely want to see where they go with it.

My Thoughts:
This series is starting to grow on me a bit more. I enjoyed this second disc quite a bit. This disc has 2 holiday episodes. First there is the Thanksgiving episode Phone Home for the Holidays... which I enjoyed every second of. I especially liked that they had a special guest star of Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) as the new woman Hope & Faith's father is seeing. Then there is the Christmas episode Silent Night, Open Night where Faith helps with one of the kids' school play. As I said... the show is starting to grow on me... so I am looking forward to watching the final two discs in this set.

My Thoughts:
Still enjoying this show... though by this episode I can pretty much say it will never be one of my favorites... but it is worth the time put in to watch it. This show does seem to usually be good for some decent guest stars. On this disc we see Mimi Rogers, Kathy Lee Gifford, Kevin Sorbo and Roger Clemens. I think my favorite episode on this disc would have to be Jury Duty. In the last episode (Faith's Maid) they were obviously doing their own take of the I Love Lucy skit where Lucy and Ethel was working at the candy factory. But these two are really out of their league when it comes to doing a skit made famous by Lucy.

My Thoughts:
This is a show I bought on a whim when I seen it on sale very cheap. I remembered seeing this on the original airing back in the mid '80s... and remembered enjoying it well enough to make it worth a purchase. I am enjoying it even more then I remembered. The Phantom is my favorite of the superheroes on this show. I also like how this show is more then the four superheroes... that they each have a teen kid to help them on the way. The episodes I watched today are from the first side of disc 1.

My Thoughts:
I decided to finish off this set over the last couple days.  As I have said... this show has grown on me quite a bit. I won't say it is a favorite sitcom... but it is worth the time to put into it to watch it. Even though I doubt any more seasons of this one will be released now... if they were I would continue to collect the show. Though I would wait for a decent price to do so. The season finale wasn't all that great to me since I am not a fan of Soap Operas. Though I am sure the 2 part finale did have some big soap stars in it. They aren't anyone I would recognize.

Nick looks into the murder of woman in the subculture of the narcocorrido, songs about drug murders. The night shift is slow and lends help to Catherine's team.

My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying this series very much. I feel it is definitely better then CSI: NY. Though the episodes on this disc wasn't quite as good as previous episodes... they are still good enough to keep my attention through-out. I think in the case of this disc my favorite episode has to be Who Shot Sherlock? Which I felt was the stand out episode of the above four. They did a good job on that one making they mystery a bit more tough. And rightly so since it was about a fantasy group into Sherlock Holmes.
