My Thoughts:
Decided to watch a some more episodes today. For the most part these were good episodes. Though I didn't care too much for Starstruck... I really enjoyed The Four Musketeers. I have to admit the paint fight in that one looked like a lot of fun! Now there is only eight episodes left for me to enjoy in this set. I would be thrilled to hear season 4 is being released... but I won't hold my breath.

Moonlight: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
Any private eye knows a lot about other people's secrets. L.A. private eye Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) has a secret of his own. He's a vampire, dwelling in a covert netherworld complicated by friendship with an undead finance honcho (Jason Dohring), memories of the alluring ex-wife (Shannyn Sossamon) who turned him into a vampire, and a relationship with a human (Sophia Myles) he feels drawn to protect – and maybe to love. But no matter how tempting, Mick knows a vampire-human romance is eternally dangerous.

This 16-episode, 4-disc set of the series voted the 2008 People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama is a sure entertainment bet for all who like their vampire stories sleek, intense and passionate.

Episodes:
1. No Such Thing as Vampires
2. Out of the Past
3. Dr. Feelgood
4. Fever

My Thoughts:
This was one of my favorite new shows of last season. I feel it had a very strong start.. as the first few episodes was some of the best. And it continued to be good through-out it's short run. Unfortunately it found problems... from what I believe... due to the writers strike. And unfortunately this very liked series (winner of 2008 people's choice award) was canceled way before it's time.

My Thoughts:
I watched 5 more episodes today. There was another holiday episode on this disc (the first being the Christmas ep)... this time a Valentine's Day episode. Which was a pretty good episode. Unlike the last episode I watched. Beach Blanket Bizarro has to be the worst episode I have seen so far in the entire 5 seasons of the show that I have in my collection! It was just terrible!

I want to try to catch up on the many other shows that I have fell behind on. The episodes on this disc was all very good... I especially liked My Other Left Foot.

19. New York, New York
20. Kids Can Be Cruel
21. Mind Your Business
22. The Academy
23. Jo's Cousin
24. Read No Evil

My Thoughts:
This finishes off the season 3 set. I really enjoyed watching these old episodes again. I would love to see more seasons released... but I don't expect to see anymore. This episode has some really good episodes on it. Especially the last 2 episodes.  The episode Jo's Cousin had Jo off visiting family for her cousin's birthday. I don't know if it ever made it into one... but the family that she went to visit would have made a great spin-off series of their own. I know I would have been interested in seeing it.

Charmed: Season 1 (Disc 1)
The discovery that they are descendants of a long line of witches finds three sisters battling demons and warlocks - and occasionally each other.

When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book Of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power. The strong-willed Prue (Shannen Doherty) can move objects, reserved Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) sees the future. Individually, each is strong, but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vanquish evil. Each exciting episode in this richly layered series is a supernatural adventure brewing with suspense and humor.

Episodes:
1. Something Wicca This Way Comes
2. I've Got You Under My Skin
3. Thank You for Not Morphing
4. Dead Man Dating

My Thoughts:
I got a huge urge to watch some Charmed... so I pulled out the first season set to watch how the show all started. The first four episodes of the series. All very good episodes... but I especially enjoyed Something Wicca This Way Comes which is the pilot episode and Dead Man Dating which is an episode that has a lot of Piper (Holly Marie Combs) which is my favorite of the three sisters.

I got a huge urge...

fnar, fnar... 

[DJ Doena]

I watched the Charmed pilot twice so far and never felt any urge to watch another episode.

[RossRoy]

I watched the Charmed pilot twice so far and never felt any urge to watch another episode.

I find that for most show that I've already seen before, I can easily quell any urge to watch it by watching the pilot, followed by the series finale. Must be a psycho thing

Square Pegs: Complete Series (Eps. 5-7)
SQUARE PEGS follows the hilarious misadventures of Patty (Sarah Jessica Parker, TV's "Sex and the City") and Lauren (Amy Linker), two freshmen girls desperate to fit in at Weemawee High School. Befriended by oddball characters Marshall (John Femia), a budding comedian, and Johnny Slash (Merritt Butrick), a wacky new-waver, Patty and Lauren still hope to impress the popular kids: valley girl Jennifer (Tracy Nelson), her tough boyfriend Vinnie (Jon Caliri), and their sassy friend LaDonna (Claudette Wells). And it would "behoove us" to not forget Muffy (Jami Gertz), the ever-peppy preppie!

Acclaimed by critics, SQUARE PEGS struck a chord with viewers of all ages and developed a huge cult following. Featuring guest stars Bill Murray, Martin Mull – plus New Wave acts Devo and The Waitresses (who perform the opening theme) – all 19 digitally remastered, rad episodes are now available in this awesome 3-disc set, on DVD for, like totally, the first time ever!

Episodes:
8. Open 24 Hours
9. Muffy's Bat Mitzvah
10. Hardly Working
11. A Child's Christmas in Weemawee

My Thoughts:
Today I started the second disc in the set. I was really getting into this show... but unfortunately these 4 episodes didn't help matters any... as it seem to take a little bit of a turn for the worse for me. Still enjoyable... but these half these episodes really didn't keep my interest as much as the ones before it did.

Episodes:
18. Witchright Hall
19. Do You See What I See
20. Sabrina, The Activist
21. Sabrina's Got Spirit
22. Finally!

My Thoughts:
Ok... this is the final 5 episodes of the season. It really didn't take me much time to watch this set... but it usually don't when it comes to this show. The fifth season episodes I never seen before... so this made it twice the fun for me. I was concerned with the change in the format of the series... what with Sabrina going off to college... but it worked for me. I enjoyed these episodes just as much as I did the previous seasons! I liked all the new additions to the show... even Josh (who I previously didn't care much for) grew on me. It took a while... but I even got used to Sabrina's dark hair. OK... I am ready for season 6 to come out!

15. The Stepanowicz Papers
16. To Serve Weemawee All My Days
17. No Substitutions
18. No Joy in Weemawee
19. The Arrangement

My Thoughts:
Well this finishes off the set. I enjoyed this set more then I thought I would. But at the same time... it could have been better. I really liked the 2 main characters. The rest was entertaining as well. But this series really does amp up the way High School in the '80s was. At least in my area. I mean yes we did have people similar to all the characters on the show. But not to the degree it was shown here. But over-all an enjoyable show that I am glad I added to my collection.

25. What A Mother Wouldn't Do
26. Bottle of Dreams

My Thoughts:
This finishes off season 1. And thankfully I have season 2 here waiting for me to start it... as I really enjoyed watching this series again. Out of these episodes I especially enjoyed The Pirate's Promise... I thought that episode was well done. Bottle of Dreams... the final episode in the season... is a clips episode. An episode that shows many clips from the first season episodes. Even though something like that is really enjoyable when it originally airs... on DVD it can be a little difficult to watch... especially if you watch the DVDs quickly. But in this case... it isn't difficult to watch at all since the wrap-around story is a good story on it's own.
