Due South: Ultimate Collection (Disc 2)
Due South is a lightning-paced action comedy in which a quintessential, polite, by-the-book Canadian Mountie from the frozen North is teamed up with a wise-cracking Armani-clad Chicago cop with a flexible sense of morality. Brought together in the Windy City by a mysterious murder which has personal ramifications for both men, these unlikely buddies must find a common ground amidst overwhelming differences. Canadian actor Paul Gross (Wilby Wonderful, TV's Slings and Arrows) stars as Constable Benton Fraser, with David Marciano (TV's The Shield) as his reluctant partner, Detective Ray Vecchio.

Episodes:
6. Chinatown
7. Chicago Holiday (Part 1)
8. Chicago Holiday (Part 2)
9. A Cop, A Mountie and A Baby
10. The Gift and the Wheelman

My Thoughts:
I am still enjoying this series very much. If it wasn't for watching this as part of a group on the forum doing a marathon I would have been much further along on it then I am now. Even though I am not sure how I feel about the whole Fraser's father storyline at this point... the show itself is still very good.

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl
Electrawoman and Dynagirl are gorgeous superheroes who, disguised as mild-mannered reporters for newsmaker magazine, battle a bevy of costumed villians . The wear skintight outfits with capes, and operate out of the secret Electrabase, which is headed by Frank Heflin, who designed and built the heroines' sophisticated equipment. This DVD features the first four episodes (only 8 were filmed and broadcast) of this cult classic.

Episode:
1. The Sorcerer's Golden Trick
Electawoman and Dynagirl's archenemy The Sorcerer tries to break into Fort Knox.

My Thoughts:
OMG... I forgotten just how cheesy this show really was. Of course I was very young at the time. This was made in '76 so I was only 7 years old at the time. There is a lot of things stolen from the '60s Batman on this show. If I am remembering this right... One odd thing was how this show was aired. It was part of a larger show. So you saw the first half  of the show... then the end credits... then you saw more kid's entertainment that the show provided.... then at the end of the show you saw the second half of this show with it's own opening and ending credits. So you actually see the opening and ending credits twice per episode.

My Thoughts:
This finishes up season 3... I am so enjoying revisiting this show again! It remains one of my favorite current shows. These two discs has some great episodes on them... but I especially enjoyed Bloodbath where there is an attempt on Abbey's life and on the season finale two-parter. Which was a strong finish to the season. So strong in fact that I really can not wait to move on to season 4! I may even go ahead and watch the fifth season once again even though I just seen it a couple months ago. Though I may not. We will have to see there.

There has been some very funny moments in the last few discs. Moments such as Lucy getting locked in the freezer. Lucy doing the commercial for Vitameatavegamin... and then there was the episode where Ricky thinking Lucy is a Kleptomaniac. I am really enjoying seeing these episodes again after all these years! Looks like this set will be one of my favorite (if not my favorite) purchases for this year!

Two more discs of this show now completed. And I am still more then enjoying revisiting this series. It is such a great show! A few of the episodes on these 2 discs were not quite as good as most the NCIS episodes... but they were still enjoyable. I especially enjoyed Twisted Sister in which Tim has to help his sister when she is suspected of killing someone. And also enjoyed Dead Man Walking where a guy walks into NCIS and asks Gibbs to solve a murder... his... as he was poisoned with radiation by someone and don't have much longer to live.

My Thoughts:
This finishes the 4th season set. I decided not to continue on to season 5 as I watch that set just a few months ago when I got it. So it is still pretty fresh in my mind. The episodes towards the end of season 4 wasn't quite as good as early on in the season though there were still stand out episodes I especially enjoyed Cover Story where we find Agent McGee (who is also a writer) has found out an insane fan who thinks his stories are real are killing people he based the characters of his latest novel on.

My Thoughts:
I decided to take a break from my current marathons so that I could watch the first disc of the new Knight Rider set. Especially considering that I only seen about half the episodes when they aired. The first disc contains the pilot movie as well as the first 2 standard episodes of the series. And I already came across an episode I never seen before. Just watching this first disc makes me upset that they decided not to renew this series!

8. I Wanna Rock & Roll All Knight

My Thoughts:
There was many episodes of this series I have never seen before... thanks to my DVR having to be replaced with many episodes waiting on the HD for me to watch them. And this did not happen once... but twice. Once early into the season and once late into the season. I would say I would be lucky if I got to see half the episodes that aired. I was so pissed about this at the time... but now that I have the DVD set I am thrilled about it! All these episodes I get to watch that I never seen before! Because of this... I never seen any of the episodes on this disc. And I enjoyed every one of them! But I especially enjoyed 2 of the episodes. First there was A Hard Day's Knight where Mike is poisoned and only the guy that poisoned him has the antidote. So he has to solve the case and get the antidote before he dies. All while getting sicker by the moment. Then the other episode I especially enjoyed is Knight of the Living Dead... which I am sure you are not surprised I enjoyed since it is their Halloween episode.

My Thoughts:
Four more episodes down... and I am still enjoying this series very much! With every episode that passes I am more thrilled I gave this series a chance. Out of the episodes on this disc... as good as they all are... 2 episodes stood out as exceptional for me. That being Blood Drops... a very powerful episode where a terrible nightmare of a case gradually worsens through-out the episode. And Anonymous where one of their cold cases comes back to haunt them.

EPISODES:
1. Pilot
2. The Next Big Thing

My Thoughts:
After blind buying this series I heard some pretty bad things about it. So I went into this one with some pretty low expectations. Maybe that helped me a little. As I didn't find this series to be terrible. No I wouldn't say it is good either. Just an average... somewhat slow series. I did however found I liked some of the characters. Of course Jennifer Garner's character for one. It was also pretty cool seeing a younger Michael Weatherly (NCIS, Dark Angel)... though I almost didn't recognize him! he changed quite a bit in the years since this series. Even though I am not surprised this series was canceled... I do feel bad that it was canceled so quickly... after producing only 6 episodes. I think any series should be given longer then that to get an audience.

I really have to thank my friend Tammy for convincing me to check out this series! As well as all of you that seconded her recommendation.

My Thoughts:
I have heard some pretty good things about this short-lived series. So during the latest DD 25% off sale (when able to get it for under $20) I decided to take a chance on it. Side A of the first disc contains the double length pilot and second episode. So far while not a bad show... it hasn't impressed me either. I basically am finding it mediocre at this point. Now it is still early yet... so I hate to pass judgment. The show could very easily pick up yet. The premise of the series is good... so I still hold on to hope that it will turn out better. May just be one of those shows that had a bit of a slow start. Is there anyone here that is familiar with this show? Can you tell me it will get better?
